Filter by:Adapted Physical Activity (APA) is accepted as an effective, recommended and beneficial supportive care for the health of people with cancer during the different phases of the disease. The objective of the project is to analyse the effect of APA programs (Classic, Exergaming and Relaxation) on the state anxiety of people with severe blood diseases admitted to Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Anxiety is a major affect in this context. The interest of the practice of APA for this public is to reduce the level of state anxiety and to limit the decline of functional capacities. The main objective of this work is to identify whether specific and/or complementary effects result from the use of biofeedback and/or Exergaming.
This research study is creating a way to collect and store specimens and information from participants who may be at an increased risk of developing cancer, or has been diagnosed with an early phase of a cancer or a family member who has a family member with a precursor condition for cancer. - The objective of this study is to identify exposures as well as clinical, molecular, and pathological changes that can be used to predict early development of cancer, malignant transformation, and risks of progression to symptomatic cancer that can ultimately be fatal. - The ultimate goal is to identify novel markers of early detection and risk stratification to drive potential therapeutic approaches to intercept progression to cancer.
Malnutrition is common after haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), and is a well-known prognostic factor for survival. HSCT-associated treatments are metabolic and digestively intolerant, hence can induce a significant reduction in oral intake. Thus weight loss, as well as a reduction in serum albumin, and pre-albumin levels, are frequent following HSCT. Although the gut remains functional, sore mouth, mucositis, dysphagia, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea will inevitably hinder the implementation of enteral nutrition (EN), thus leading to a deficit between daily intake and requirement. Side effects of chemotherapy and antibiotics in combine will contribute to the alteration of intestinal flora on top of the existing gut symptoms, further impairing nutrient digestion and absorption. Oral nutritional supplements (ONS) are foods for special medical purposes (FSMP) that are specially formulated for oral nutritional support. Limited retrospective studies performed in Western countries have found that ONS was tolerable for HSCT patients eligible for EN, however, the data is sparse in China to support the safety of usage amongst this population. On the other side, what is less clear is the nature of soluble fiber upon the intestinal microenvironment in patients undergoing HSCT. It would be worthwhile to investigate the impact of fibre-modulated ONS on gut function and symptoms. The study is a prospective study. All the participants will be recruited from a single research center (Renji Hospital). The participants will be randomized into two groups: traditional treatment or ONS. Ensure complete (Abbott), which contains soluble dietary fiber such as fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) and inulin, will be served as the ONS for testing. The primary aim of the study is to examine the between-group change from baseline body weight at 28 days post-transplantation. The secondary outcomes include the within-group and between-group dynamic change in the peri-transplant period for the following: body weight, fat-free mass, circumference, handgrip test, and patient-generated global subjective assessment. The tolerability of supplementing ONS and its' effect on gut function as well as on infection rate is also of interest.
This is a open-label, phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and PK of CD7 chimeric antigen receptors treatment for patients with refractory/relapsed CD7 positive hematological malignancies.
Immunotherapies have substantially improved the prognosis of patients with haematological malignancies. While clinical trial data suggest durable complete response rates, markers associated with non-response to treatment are still poorly described. The identification of predictive markers using demographic, physiologic, biologic, immunologic data as well as patients' treatment history, might enable the optimization of therapeutic sequences and the reduction of treatment toxicity. This study aim to assess markers of toxicity and response following an immunotherapy in patients with a haematological malignancy using real life data. It will allow the development of clinical and therapeutic benchmarks to guide medical decisions in relation to the therapeutic strategies to be implemented for patients benefiting from real-life conditions, in addition to the results obtained in randomized studies.
This phase I trial tests the safety and side effects of leflunomide in combination with steroids in treating patients with acute graft versus host disease who have undergone done stem cell transplant for blood cancers (hematologic malignancies). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can attack the body's normal cells (called graft-versus-host disease). Leflunomide and steroids are immunosuppressive drugs that work in different ways to lower the body's immune response so that the new donor immune cells do not attack the body's normal cells. Giving leflunomide in combination with steroids may help treat acute graft versus host disease in patients after stem cell transplant for hematologic malignancies.
This is a pilot study to assess the preliminary efficacy of an inpatient advance care planning intervention on outcomes in older patients with hematologic malignancies
This trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of RIC HIDT transplant protocol following fludarabine and intermediate-dose TBI 800 cGy utilizing PBSC as the stem cell source.
Lung is one of the target organs in chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) after allo-HSCT was a clinical syndrome characterized by persistent airflow restriction which is the result of lung cGVHD. BOS is one of the main causes of late mortality after allo-HSCT, severely restricting the daily activities and respiratory function of patients. It limits the quality of life and increased the non-relapse mortality (NRM) after allo-HSCT. Currently, the first-line treatment for BOS is FAM ( oral fluticasone, azithromycin and montelukast). However, more than 50% of patients develop as steroids resistant (SR)-BOS, and SR-BOS has a poor prognosis and irreversible impaired lung function. Ruxolitinib is an effective drug in the treatment of SR-cGVHD. This is a phase Ⅱ prospective clinical study to explore the efficacy and safety of ruxolitinib as a first-line treatment for newly diagnosed BOS after allo-HSCT.
One of the ways that cancer grows and spreads is by avoiding the immune system.NK cells are immune cells that kill cancer cells, but are often malfunctioning in people with colorectal cancer and blood cancers. A safe way to give people with colorectal cancer and blood cancers fresh NK cells from a healthy donor has recently been discovered. The purpose of this study is to show that using two medicines (vactosertib and IL-2) with NK cells will be safe and will activate the donor NK cells. NK cells and vactosertib are experimental because they are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). IL-2 (Proleukin®) has been approved by the FDA for treating other cancers, but the doses used in this study are lower than the approved doses and it is not approved to treat colorectal cancer or blood cancers.
