Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of Ramosetron, Aprepitant and Dexamethasone therapy versus Ondansetron, Aprepitant and Dexamethasone therapy for preventing of nausea and vomiting in highly emetogenic chemotherapy (ROAD study): Prospective multicenter, randomized, single blinded, phase III study.
The objective of the present study was to compare ultrasound (US) characteristics and ultrasound-guided core-needle biopsy (US-CNB) with US-guided fine-needle aspiration (US-FNA) in the assessment of different malignant cervical lymphadenopathies. Patients with malignant cervical lymphadenopathie with either US-FNA or US-CNB over a 3-year period from 2007 July to 2010 Dec were retrospectively reviewed. There are two major study groups according to the treatment status of the patient's population, including patients who had pathology proofed previous cancer and with clinically cervical lymphadenopathies after treatment. The second group included patients with cervical lymphaenopathies but without previous diagnosis of malignancy and treatment. The results of cytology, or pathology and time of needle biopsy to final diagnosis were traced and recorded. Morphologic US parameters and vascular features were thoroughly evaluated and compared in different disease.
This an an open-label study to define the safety profile and the maximum tolerated dose and confirm the clinical effective dose of palifosfamide-tris given intravenously in combination with etoposide and carboplatin in a wide range of cancers which etoposide and carboplatin are normally given. Once the maximum dose of palifosfamide-tris is determined,a Phase II study using the 3 agents combined will begin.
The purpose of this study is to: - estimate the degree of memory loss, if any following radiotherapy to the base of skull or brain as measured by standard neurocognitive battery testing. - describe radiotherapy dose-related changes in vascular perfusion, in spectroscopic parameters of neuronal injury and changes in the degree and directionality of tissue water diffusivity (diffusion tensor imaging) as a measure of white axonal injury. - to relate these imaging characteristics to the degree of memory loss.
Participants in this single-center, open-label, dose-escalation, Phase 1 study will initially receive intravenous (I.V.) IMC-3G3 once every 2 weeks or on Days 1 and 8 every 3 weeks for 6 weeks (one cycle). After the first cycle, patients experiencing an overall response of complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) will continue to receive IMC-3G3 at their cohort dose and schedule until there is evidence of progressive disease (PD), or until other withdrawal criteria are met.
The COSMIC trial is a prospective, mono-centric, phase II trial evaluating toxicity and efficacy in the combined treatment with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and carbon ion (C12) boost. Primary endpoint is mucositis ≥ CTC°3, secondary endpoints are local control, disease-free survival, and toxicity. Planned accrual of the trial includes 54 patients with histologically proved (≥R1-resected, inoperable or Pn+) salivary gland malignancies. Treatment consists of 24 GyE carbon ions (8 fractions) and 50 Gy IMRT (2.0 Gy/ fraction).
Currently available investigating modalities like CT scans, MRI etc although have a high accuracy in staging of gastrointestinal(GI) tract malignancies, are not correct in all cases . The aim of this study is to assess the role of intraoperative ultrasound as a modality to increase the staging accuracy of GI tract malignancies
This study will describe the pharmacokinetic disposition of biologically active rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (rATG) after a consistent dose of 7.5 mg/kg/course given as part of the conditioning regimen in children undergoing hematopoeitic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).
Background Patients with an idiopathic venous thromboembolism (IVTE) appear to have a risk of approximately 10% for symptomatic malignancy within 3 years after the IVTE. It is not clear if extensive screening for malignant disease leads to survival benefit in patients with an IVTE. The SOMIT study learned that it is feasible to screen patients with an IVTE for malignancy and screening by means of a computer tomography (CT) of the chest and abdomen plus a mammography in women had the potential to be most cost-effective. The SOMIT study could not show a survival benefit due to the design of the study. Primary objective: cancer related mortality Methods: The Trousseau study has been designed as a multicenter, prospective concurrently controlled cohort study. Inclusion criteria: 1. Proven first symptomatic deep venous thromboembolic event; 2. Without: known risk factor for venous thromboembolism. Exclusion criteria: 1. Proven deep venous thromboembolic event in the medical history, age under 40 years; 2. Patients without signs of malignancy after routine investigations (medical history, physical examination, laboratory investigations and chest X-ray) were included. Depending on the standard care in the hospital of interest, one group of patients has been screened by means of CT-chest and abdomen plus mammography, the other group had no additional investigations. Follow-up was aimed to be 3 years in both groups (at 3, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months after the thromboembolic event). Data like mortality rate, morbidity due to screening procedures, additional investigations, number of cancer patients detected by the extensive screening, number of cancer patients three years after the IVTE, number and kind of investigations performed and information about cancer treatment and hospitalization was collected. If this information indicate a survival benefit these data enable us to perform a cost-effectiveness analysis. Endpoint: Mortality. Statistics: Based on the prevalence of occult malignancy in VTE patients, the nature and stage of malignancies, the expected mortality, the anticipated detection of cancers and the early treatment related decrease in mortality we needed, in order to detect a true difference of this size with a 80 percent power and a two-tailed certainty of five percent, 750 patients for each group. Therefore, a total of 1500 patients is required for this study.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety profile and the maximum dose of Debio 1143 (AT-406) that can be given to humans. This study is also designed to measure how much Debio 1143 (AT-406) gets into the blood stream (pharmacokinetics), and how Debio 1143 (AT-406) interacts with proteins related to cancer that the drug is targeted to affect (pharmacodynamics).
