Filter by:This clinical trial attempts to measure pain severity, location of pain, and feasibility in patients with cancer using functional near-infrared spectroscopy and virtual reality relaxation programs. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy and virtual reality relaxation programs may help relieve pain in patients with cancer who are receiving treatment.
This study is an open-label Phase Ib (Part A) dose escalation followed by a blinded, randomized, multi cohort Phase 2a (Part B) comparison of combination vs. reference regimens. Currently study will only be enrolling the Phase 1b and the Phase 2a protocol requirements will be added to the study near completion of the Phase 1b
Ablative treatments are believed to have a lower rate of complications, shorter hospital stays, and fewer interventions with benign PAD compared to partial nephrectomies in small kidney cancer lesions. The purpose of the study is to compare complications, the frequency of residual tumors, impact on kidney function, differences in quality of life, and health economic factors in a randomised study. We will also compare the oncological outcomes, including survival and recurrence of kidney cancer.
Based on different subtypes, subjects will be placed in one of three treatment groups to explore individual efficacy and safety of various treatment regimen.
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the outcome of patients with immune checkpoint inhibitor-mediated diarrhea/colitis (IMC) treated with faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in a randomised, placebo-controlled trial. The aim of the present study is to assess the feasibility, pilot efficacy, and safety of FMT for patients with IMC. Participants will be treated two times with capsule FMT or placebo capsules in a 1:1 ratio. The intervention treatment will be an add-on to the patients' standard treatment for IMC. Researchers will compare the FMT-treated group to the placebo-treated group to see if FMT promotes remission of IMC.
The aim of this study was to establish and optimize the [18F]RCCB6 and [68Ga]Ga-NOTA-RCCB6 PET/CT imaging method, and its physiological and pathological distribution characteristics, on the basis of which the diagnostic efficacy of the above imaging agents in renal cancer (especially clear cell renal cell carcinoma) and lymphoma was evaluated.
The MRI linac Unity is a major technological evolution in radiotherapy combining a linear accelerator with a 1.5T MRI (radiological quality). It allows to target the target volume more precisely and to adapt the daily dose distribution according to variations in the position and volume of the tumor, critical organs and the tumor response. In many studies conducted in radiology, the analysis of specific MRI sequences, particularly in radiomics, aims to characterize tumors and their sensitivity to treatment. Initial data show that in radiotherapy, it would eventually be possible to characterize the radiosensitivity of healthy and tumorous tissues. With linac 1.5T MRI, the performance of selected MRI sequences, at each session, could make it possible to identify different levels of radiosensitivity within the tumour. The reproduction of these sequences on a daily basis could make it possible to follow the variations in radiosensitivity during the treatment. The final objectives would be: 1- to adapt the doses of radiotherapy to each session with a modulation of the dose according to the daily level of intra-tumor radiosensitivity, 2- to develop Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools allowing an analysis sequences and the generation of 3D maps of intra-tumor radiosensitivity, fast and suitable for carrying out a radiotherapy session. A first work carried out in collaboration with the CREATIS lab of the University Claude Bernard Lyon 1 (UCBL1) made it possible to generate maps of tissue oxygenation from sequences produced on the MRI linac Unity of the Hospices Civils de Lyon (T2* , IVIM, Carto T2 Multi Echo-Gradient). Hypoxia is known to be the first factor of tumor resistance to irradiation. A research program is structured in collaboration with UCBL1 in order to develop radiobiological adaptive radiotherapy approaches, based on 3D maps of intra-tumoral hypoxia and their variation during treatment. Several tumor locations were selected because of the preponderant place of MRI in tumor characterization: prostate, cervix, kidney, ENT and glioblastoma. Hypoxia is not the only factor of radioresistance. Changes in the microenvironment could also impact the sensitivity of tumor cells. The program will therefore also aim to optimize the maps initially based on hypoxia, by identifying other relevant factors to be taken into account to define intra-tumor sensitivity.
The aim of this study is to develop techniques for non-invasive imaging of biology in participants with benign or malignant renal masses based on the novel scanning MRI techniques, including recently invented Hyperpolarised MRI, deuterium metabolic imaging and sodium MRI. This imaging study will: 1) acquire imaging data from human tissues following the injection of hyperpolarised 13C pyruvate and use 13C-MRI to monitor changes in the ratio of 13C-lactate to 13C-pyruvate; 2) acquire imaging data from human tissues using Sodium MRI or 3) acquire imaging data from human tissues following the oral consumable of deuterated glucose. Data acquired during this physiological study will be used to optimise future imaging protocols.In the UK and possibly in other countries, there are some patients with renal masses that are over treated or undergo unnecessary procedures such as surgery or biopsies, as they are thought to have a malignant tumour or a more aggressive tumour but after the procedure it is found that the mass was benign. The aim of this study is to determine whether one or all of these imaging techniques can differentiate between benign and malignant renal masses with the view to developing the techniques further and hopefully reducing the need for over treatment or unnecessary procedures in patients with benign masses.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate whether the combination of Pembrolizumab and Axitinib given in the neoadjuvant setting can change the Inferior Vena Cava Tumor Thrombus burden. A decrease in the size of the tumor thrombus can potentially lead to decrease in surgical complications, improve patient related health outcomes, and improve long term outcomes such as progression free survival and overall survival.
20 participants are expected to be enrolled for this open，Single-armed clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the recombinant herpes simplex virus Ⅰ, R130 in patients with advanced solid tumors.
