Filter by:This research study will test the efficacy of interactive, web-based interventions that improve diet, physical activity and weight management changes among early stage survivors of breast, prostate, colorectal, endometrial, renal, thyroid, and ovarian cancers, as well as multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Overarching outcomes also include physical function and performance, muscle mass, quality of life, and health utilities.
This trial studies how well technetium Tc-99m sestamibi single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) works on clinical decision making in patients with kidney tumors. Diagnostic procedures, such as technetium Tc-99m sestamibi SPECT/CT may be a less invasive way to check for kidney tumors.
The goal of this observational study is to collect data on efficacy and safety of microwave ablation (MWA) used to treat subjects with primary and secondary liver malignancies and renal malignancies. The main question it aims to evaluate the short, medium and long-term clinical course of patients treated with MWA. Participants will not alter their normal clinical and therapeutic practice, due to the observational nature of the study, and all data regarding microwave treatments will be collected (including demographic data). follow their normal clinical and therapeutic path
BACKGROUND: For synchronous metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC), surgical resection of the primary tumor in the presence of distant metastases has been the standard of therapy for select patients followed by systemic therapy. In the era of TKIs two randomized trials, CARMENA and SURTIME, have questioned the role and timing of surgery in these patients, results point towards no surgery or a deferred approach. RATIONALE: The antitumor activity of immune checkpoint blockage (ICB) is more potent than other therapy in mRCC. The deferred cytoreductive nephrectomy approach ensures systemic therapy for all patients, avoid systemic treatment delay, and spare surgery in patients with progressive tumors. Current data only point towards a survival benefit for cytoreductive nephrectomy in intermediate risk patients, but not in poor risk patients HYPOTHESIS: Deferred cytoreductive nephrectomy after initial nivolumab combined with ipilimumab or a TKI/IO-combination will improve OS in patients with synchronous metastatic RCC and ≤3 IMDC risk features This is an open, randomized, multicenter comparison trial, designed to evaluate the effect of deferred cytoreductive nephrectomy compared with no surgery following initial nivolumab combined with ipilimumab or a TKI-combination, in mRCC patients with IMDC intermediate and poor risk.
Investigators aimed to estimate the effect of showing and handling a three-dimensional modelization of a patient's kidney presenting with tumor the day before his nephron-sparing surgery. The main outcome measure was the effect on anxiety assessed via the STAI score. 2 types kidney models (virtual and printed) will be evaluated as compared to usual information, using a randomization.
The primary objective is to determine the safety and tolerability of the novel compound, MRx0518 in patients with solid tumours at 30 days post-surgery. 20 participants will receive open label MRx0518 in a preliminary safety phase. After successful evaluation by the Independent Safety Monitoring Committee (IDMC), a further 100 participants will be recruited to receive MRx0518/Placebo.
This dose-escalating phase I trial assesses for the first time the safety, the side effects and the harmlessness, as well as the therapeutical benefit of the new study drug GEM3PSCA in patients with prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA) expressing cancer types which failed to respond to standard therapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine if contrast-enhanced ultrasound can detect abnormal features of kidney lesions in patients with Von-Hippel Lindau with the same accuracy as conventional ultrasound and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
The PIONEER Initiative stands for Precision Insights On N-of-1 Ex vivo Effectiveness Research. The PIONEER Initiative is designed to provide access to functional precision medicine to any cancer patient with any tumor at any medical facility. Tumor tissue is saved at time of biopsy or surgery in multiple formats, including fresh and cryopreserved as a living biospecimen. SpeciCare assists with access to clinical records in order to provide information back to the patient and the patient's clinical care team. The biospecimen tumor tissue is stored in a bio-storage facility and can be shipped anywhere the patient and the clinical team require for further testing. Additionally, the cryopreservation of the biospecimen allows for decisions about testing to be made at a later date. It also facilitates participation in clinical trials. The ability to return research information from this repository back to the patient is the primary end point of the study. The secondary end point is the subjective assessment by the patient and his or her physician as to the potential benefit that this additional information provides over standard of care. Overall the goal of PIONEER is to enable best in class functional precision testing of a patient's tumor tissue to help guide optimal therapy (to date this type of analysis includes organoid drug screening approaches in addition to traditional genomic profiling).
This research study is evaluating the effectiveness of video and web-based communication in clinical research compared to standard practices.
