Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether the addition of spinal analgesia leads to superior recovery in patients undergoing robotic-assisted laparoscopic upper urinary tract surgery under general anesthesia. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the decrease in wellbeing as quantified by the patient-centered outcome scale "Quality of Recovery 15" (QoR-15), from baseline to the first day after surgery (POD 1), at least 8.0 points less in patients receiving spinal analgesia in addition to general anesthesia? - Does spinal analgesia result in improved recovery as quantified by QoR-15 at POD 7, the incidence of postoperative pain at rest and at mobilization, nausea and vomiting, the need for opioid analgesics, time out-of-bed, length of stay and the incidence of complications? - Does spinal analgesia increase workload in the OR, as quantified by time from arrival in the OR to start of surgery? - Does spinal analgesia result in an increased incidence of hypotension and cardiac dysfunction during surgery, as well as an increased incidence of pruritus after surgery? Participants will be randomized to receive either spinal analgesia with bupivacaine and morphine preoperatively or an intravenous infusion with lidocaine intraoperatively. QoR-15 and other markers of recovery will be registered using structured interviews preoperatively, at POD1 and POD7. In addition, patients will record pain at rest and at mobilization three times daily in a diary. In a subgroup of patients advanced hemodynamic parameters will be recorded using pulse-contour analysis before, during and after surgery. Blood samples will also be collected in these patients at fixed intervals and analyzed for amongst others inflammation and cardiac dysfunction.
This study is being done to collect blood, tissue and urine samples to identify a novel high quality methylated DNA marker in patients with renal tumors.
The goal of this research study is to establish the safety and then to explore the effectiveness of infusing the combination of cytokine-induced memory-like (CIML) natural killer (NK) cells, a type of immune cell in the blood that is collected and bathed in special proteins to help identify and treat curtained advanced cancers, combined with N-803, a medication that increases the activity of Interleukin-15, which is a cytokine that activates immune cells, in advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma and urothelial carcinoma. Names of the study therapies involved in this study are/is: - CIML NK cell therapy (a NK cell therapy) - N-803 (a type of recombinant human IL-15 superagonist)
The Urology Unit of AOUI Verona proposes a clinical study aimed at a preliminary evaluation of postoperative complications specifically focused on robotic partial nephrectomy (RAPN) procedures using three currently available platforms: - DaVinci®; - Hugo®; - Versius®. The questions it aims to answer are: Does the estimation of the post-operative complications suggest something? Are differences (intra- and post-operative, oncological, functional, technical, and economic) among the three intervention approaches observable? Participants will be invited to join one of these three experimental group: 1. surgery with the DaVinci platform; 2. surgery with the Hugo platform; 3. surgery with the Versius platform.
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.
Pear Bio has developed a predictive biomarker technology that combines 3D cell culture, microscopy and computer vision to measure the response of an individual patient's tumor sample to different systemic therapy regimens that are tested simultaneously ex vivo. This study will recruit patients with advanced or metastatic kidney cancer who are due to start a clinically-indicated new line of therapy. The oncologist will be blinded to the response on the Pear Bio test (the test will be run in parallel with the patient's treatment). The primary objective of this study is to establish the sensitivity and specificity of Pear Bio's test results against patient outcomes (objective response, progression-free survival, depth and duration of response, overall survival).
This study is designed to characterize the safety, tolerability, and anti-tumor activity of MDX2001 in patients with advanced solid tumors.
It is a phase II open label, multicenter study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of HB0025 in patients with advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).
This Phase Ib/II clinical study is an open-label, multi-cohort, two-stage trial designed to assess the safety and efficacy of different doses of TT-00420 tablets in combination with Toripalimab injection for treating patients with advanced urological tumors. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of TT-00420 tablets at the optimal dose combined with Toripalimab in treating different types of advanced urological tumors.
In France, the second cancer plan of 2009-2013 aimed to strengthen the role of MT by putting it back at the center of patient monitoring, in particular by asking "regional health agencies to encourage and support local experiments" which aim for better coordination between the city and the hospital. The third cancer plan for 2014-2019 insists on this measure because it had proven to be unproductive, and recommends, in addition to the creation of a nurse dedicated to the coordination of care between community medicine and the hospital, the creation of a direct telephone line to reach the hospital medical team. This measure is mainly aimed at the follow-up of certain cancers that do not require the technical support of the hospital, as is the case in the post-operative follow-up of RCC and CaP, where the additional examinations carried out during follow-up are carried out in the city. The research hypothesis is that this new method of monitoring had a positive impact on care in terms of quality, accessibility, organization and costs.
