Filter by:The THERMAL study is a pilot study to determine feasibility of using two separate continuous skin temperature monitors during intensive treatment for haematological malignancies. It involves participants wearing both the TempTraq and CORE temperature devices for up to 14 days, and then assessing their feasibility and tolerability with quantitative, semiquantitative and qualitative methods.
Allogeneic Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an effective treatment for all array of blood or blood-producing organ disorders. Graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) occurs as a result of an overactive immunological system against normal host tissues. It can happen in the liver, skin, mucosal surface of the eye, gastrointestinal tract, and genitalia. Ocular GVHD occurs in 30-70% of patients after HSCT. It mainly affects the ocular surface, including the conjunctiva and cornea. In severe cases, multiple clinical manifestations can lead to painful non-healing corneal ulcers, secondary infections, and visual loss. oGVHD can be debilitating and severely impact patients' quality of life. However, there are no widely accepted guidelines available for prevention and management. In collaboration with the Department of Haematology of Queen Mary Hospital, the investigators set out to establish a territory-wide cohort of patients receiving HSCT. Primarily, the investigators aim to establish the population-based epidemiology of oGVHD and understand the natural history and the long-term ophthalmic outcomes of oGVHD via this study.
This is a prospective non-randomized national clinical phase 2 trial that aims to determine the efficacy and toxicity of targeted anticancer drugs or combinations that are approved or under review by EMA, FDA or PMDA and are used for treatment of patients with advanced cancer with a potentially actionable variant as revealed by a genomic, RNA-molecular or protein expression test.
Since emerging in December 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) has developed into an unprecedented global pandemic. The causative pathogen, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has the potential to cause a wide range of clinical syndromes, from fever, dyspnoea and cough to respiratory failure and cardiac injury necessitating critical care support. A number of patients have a more indolent clinical course and can be safely managed in the community. Characterising the clinical course of Covid-19 infection in the oncology population and distinguishing this from other acute oncology presentations which can mimic Covid-19 is a key unmet research need. Current standard of care for monitoring patients at high risk of chemotherapy associated neutropenic sepsis involves asking them to contact their cancer centre when they feel unwell or develop a fever. No standard of care for monitoring ambulatory Covid-19 patients has yet been established. We hypothesise that using wearable biosensors to detect patients who exhibit 'red flags' for sepsis or deterioration due to Covid-19 may allow earlier assessment and intervention. There is no current evidence for wearable biosensors in ambulatory patients receiving chemotherapy, and there is no existing research into this proposed use of biosensors in patients with suspected or confirmed Covid-19 infection. In order to justify performing a randomised controlled study comparing standard of care with biosensor driven monitoring it is important to establish the tolerability and validity of these devices. We aim to collect patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) on tolerability and assess the reliability of data transmission to a central data collection server. We will also perform an initial analysis of physiological data and correlation with clinical events
Exploratory multicenter, non-interventional, translational, retrospective and prospective study. All patients with a diagnosis of hematologic disorder or malignancy for whom biological samples and clinical data are available may be included in this study, after obtaining informed consent
Connected medicine "2.0" is a major challenge that will lead in the near future to profound changes in medical practices. Our study is part of this technological transformation, which is already taking the form of multiple devices available to practitioners: connected pill dispensers, integrated monitoring and surveillance systems (telemedicine), connected sensors, etc. However, a symptom as crucial and simple as body temperature has not been measured by real-time enteric capsule in a context of neutropenia. We therefore wish to study the concordance between the peripheral (tympanic) temperature and that measured by a capsule ingested in a cohort of patients hospitalized in the USIH. If the measurements are clinically reliable and truly allow anticipation of antimicrobial treatments, a medico-economic evaluation will be proposed between the two options in the context of USIH before its possible generalization.
A Phase 1/2a study to assess the safety, tolerability, PK and biological activity of CCS1477 in patients with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, Multiple Myeloma, Acute Myeloid Leukaemia or High Risk Myelodysplastic syndrome.
To evaluate the impact of innovative molecular diagnostics on the clinical management of patients with haematological malignancies via updated Appropriate-Prescribing-Guides including Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) panels, facilitated therapeutic orientation, and optimised use of costly novel therapeutics and risk-adapted treatment. A micro-costing approach will be used to develop flat fee tarifs for NGS analyses.
Total body irradiation (TBI) is a standard part of the conditioning regimen for bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Several randomized trials have shown superior outcomes using TBI compared with non TBI-containing regimens. Standard TBI is usually delivered over three days for a total dose of 12 Gy with two daily fractions. However, as demonstrated by our group, increasing the TBI dose above 10 Gy is not necessarily associated with better outcome in patients undergoing allogenic BMT for hematologic malignancies. For this reason, patients older than 40 or grafted after relapse are treated at our center with a reduced-dose 10 Gy TBI regimen. This pilot study wishes to investigate in 10 patients with hematological malignancies unfit for a standard 12 Gy TBI conditioning regimen a more targeted, conformal form of treatment, referred as total marrow (TMI), using volumetric Arc Therapy (VMAT). Our hypothesis is that using this technique that can allow deliver a higher total dose to the target while at the same time assuring to the organs at risk (OAR) the same dose normally delivered with a 10 Gy TBI we will improve the therapeutic ratio in these patients.
