Filter by:This is a multi-center study to evaluate the clinical performance of ClearLLab LS screening panel with specimens from subjects for the diagnosis of hematologic malignancies.
This study will be conducted in a randomized, controlled and experimental manner with patients with hematological malignancies admitted to the Adult Bone Marrow Transplant unit and Hematology-Oncology unit of Acıbadem Altunizade Hospital after obtaining the necessary permissions. The number of patients to be included in the study will be determined by power analysis. The study will include patients who are willing to participate, have no communication problems, are 18 years of age or older, and have no known allergy to lavender oil. Patients with allergies, drug addiction and refusal to participate in the study will not be included in the study. Before the study, patients will be divided into intervention and control groups using a simple random number table. At the beginning of the study, a form including socio-demographic and disease information, Richard Campbell Sleep Quality Scale and Piper Fatigue Scale will be evaluated. Two different options will be used to prevent findings. The first group will be treated with lavender oil and the second group will be treated with saline and 2 drops will be placed on the patient's shoulder 20 minutes before bedtime every night. The application will be started simultaneously with the chemotherapy and will continue until the end of chemotherapy treatment. Sleep and fatigue will be assessed daily using the Richard Campbell Sleep Quality Scale and Piper Fatigue Scale.
In recent years, the application of increasingly advanced methods of ex-vivo cell culture and cell engineering has made it possible to develop new cellular therapeutic platforms including the "CAR (Chimeric Antigen Receptor) - T cell therapy". CAR-T cell therapy is a therapy that uses T lymphocytes engineered to express a chimeric receptor directed against a specific antigen, theoretically applicable to the treatment of all neoplasms but currently more widely used in the treatment of haematological malignancies. One of the most innovative aspects introduced with CAR-T cell therapy is that of living-drug, cells that act as a drug as well as a means to build specific immunity against the neoplasm. The advantages of this therapy are therefore represented by the possibility of refueling the patient's immunity, deficient in the control of the neoplastic disease, with lymphocytes capable of expressing an antineoplastic activity with mechanisms not subject to restriction of HLA-mediated antigen recognition. However, the use of CAR-T therapies is not free from potentially serious and sometimes lethal adverse events; in the toxicity profile the following are recognizable as peculiar: - cytokine release syndrome (CRS) - B-cell aplasia (hypogammaglobulinemia) - neurological adverse reactions - haematological toxicity - infections. Therefore, considering that on the one hand adverse events are not negligible and on the other hand that a percentage > 50% of patients lose the response obtained, it is necessary to improve the therapeutic profile of CAR-T cell therapy by increasing its efficacy and reducing its toxicity . Both of these strategies are linked to the understanding of the resistance mechanisms of neoplastic cells, as well as to the biology of CAR-T cells and of all the cellular (microenvironment) and non-cellular systems with which they interact.
This clinical trial is looking at a combination of drugs called trastuzumab and pertuzumab. This combination of drugs is approved as standard of care treatment for adult patients with metastatic breast cancer. This means it has gone through clinical trials and been approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the UK. Trastuzumab and pertuzumab work in patients with these types of cancers which have a molecular alteration called HER2 amplification or HER2 activating mutation. Investigators now wish to find out if it will be useful in treating patients with other cancer types which are also HER2 amplified or HER2 mutated. If the results are positive, the study team will work with the NHS and the Cancer Drugs Fund to see if these drugs can be routinely accessed for patients in the future. This trial is part of a trial programme called DETERMINE. The programme will also look at other anti-cancer drugs in the same way, through matching the drug to rare cancer types or ones with specific mutations.
Cancer-related anemia (CRA) is one of the common accompanying diseases of malignant tumors. In 2019, a cross-sectional survey on the anemia status of 7324 malignant tumor patients in 97 hospitals in China found that the incidence of CRA was about 49.24%. 92.84% of the patients have not been given enough attention and effective treatment. According to the European Oncological Anemia Survey, CRA has the highest incidence in leukemia patients, followed by lymphoma/myeloma. CRA not only leads to a decline in the quality of life of patients, but also reduces the sensitivity to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and also causes hypoxia in tumor tissue, which affects the prognosis of patients as an independent factor. At present, the treatment of CRA mainly includes blood transfusion therapy, erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) therapy, iron supplementation, etc. Conventional oral iron has low bioavailability and strong gastrointestinal irritation. Although intravenous iron can quickly replenish iron, excessive iron supplementation is prone to iron overload. Less acceptable. Shengxuening Tablets are derived from silkworm excrement. The main components of iron chlorophyllin and chlorophyll derivatives are very similar in structure to heme, and can be directly absorbed by small intestinal mucosal cells, effectively supplementing the iron elements required in the process of hematopoiesis. The investigators found that Shengxuening Tablets can increase the number of peripheral blood cells in mouse models of myelosuppression, improve bone marrow morphology, reverse the decrease in body weight and spleen index, and increase the levels of serum erythropoietin and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor . Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR and Western blot analysis showed increased expression levels of stem cell factor (SCF), JAK2 and STAT3 in the liver. These results indicated that Shengxuening Tablets promoted the recovery of hematopoietic function in myelosuppressive models by increasing the secretion of hematopoietic factors and activating the JAK2/STAT3 pathway. Therefore, in order to further confirm the preventive effect, effectiveness and safety of Shengxuening Tablets in the treatment of anemia in patients with hematological tumors complicated with anemia, this clinical trial was designed.
This study investigates whether the 12-week home-based exercise training with remote guidance and telemonitoring compared to regular center-based training leads to better long-term cardiorespiratory fitness and physical activity levels in post-treatment patients with lymphoma.
This clinical trial is looking at a drug called entrectinib. Entrectinib is approved as standard of care treatment for adult patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) which have a particular molecular alteration called ROS1-positive, and patients 12 years of age or older with solid tumours which have another type of change in the cancer cells. This means it has gone through clinical trials and been approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the UK. Investigators now wish to find out if it will be useful in treating patients with other cancer types which have the same molecular alteration (ROS1-positive). If the results are positive, the study team will work with the NHS and the Cancer Drugs Fund to see if these drugs can be routinely accessed for patients in the future. This trial is part of a trial programme called DETERMINE. The programme will also look at other anti-cancer drugs in the same way, through matching the drug to rare cancer types or ones with specific mutations.
This clinical trial is looking at a drug called alectinib. Alectinib is approved as standard of care treatment for adult patients with certain types of lung cancer. This means it has gone through clinical trials and been approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the UK. Alectinib works in lung cancer patients with a particular mutation in their cancer known as ALK. Investigators now wish to find out if it will be useful in treating patients with other cancer types which have the same mutation. If the results are positive, the study team will work with the NHS and the Cancer Drugs Fund to see if these drugs can be routinely accessed for patients in the future. This trial is part of a trial programme called DETERMINE. The programme will also look at other anti-cancer drugs in the same way, through matching the drug to rare cancer types or ones with specific mutations.
This study is designed to collect long-term safety and survival data from participants previously treated in an eligible Century-sponsored index trial. This is an observational study, and the elements of the study design allow for important follow-up for safety, survival, and the continued evaluation of any late adverse events (AEs) that may appear after treatment with such cellular products. Additionally, collection of persistence data from participants will support the identification of any long-term risks or late AEs that may be causally related to treatment with such cellular products.
This clinical trial is looking at a combination of drugs called vemurafenib and cobimetinib. Vemurafenib is approved as standard of care for adult patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Cobimetinib is approved as standard of care in combination with vemurafenib for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Cobimetinib and vemurafenib work in patients with these types of cancers which have certain changes in the cancer cells called BRAF V600 mutation-positive. Investigators now wish to find out if it will be useful in treating patients with other cancer types which are also BRAF V600 mutation-positive. If the results are positive, the study team will work with the NHS and the Cancer Drugs Fund to see if these drugs can be routinely accessed for patients in the future. This trial is part of a trial programme called DETERMINE. The programme will also look at other anti-cancer drugs in the same way, through matching the drug to rare cancer types or ones with specific mutations.
