Filter by:This Registry is designed to follow patients who have been implanted with an alfapump system, which is a newly marketed product from Sequana Medical AG, a Swiss Medical Device company.
ProMAS is a prospective post-marketing, single-arm study to assess performance and safety of the Alfapump® system in the treatment of patients with malignant ascites. The study aims to enroll 40 patients in up to 8 sites in Europe.
1. The safety and tolerability of single-dose of SCB-313 will be evaluated by intraperitoneal injection; 2. The safety and tolerability of repeated-dose of SCB-313 will be evaluated by intraperitoneal injection once a day for 3 days, and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of SCB-313 will be determined;
The ATLANTIS-study was designed to determine the safety of a full paracentesis in patients with malignant ascites due to ovarian cancer. The underlying hypothesis states, that full paracentesis does not impair safety, compared to fractioned paracentesis with clamping of the drain. Half of the patients will receive a full paracentesis, while the other half will receive fractioned paracentesis with clamping of the drain after 3 liters of ascites was evacuated. All patients receive extensive monitoring of hemodynamics and kidney function.
Malignant pleural effusion and/ or malignant ascites is generally defined by presence of malignant cells in the effusion fluid. The first-line therapies are mostly intrusive, medically demanding and inefficient, and therefore, it is important to study and develop new therapeutic option to address the unmet need. This protocol for BSG-001 is developed for the treatment of malignant pleural effusion and/ or malignant ascites. BSG-001 is an immune-modulator primarily exerts its effect via Toll-like receptor. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of BSG-001. All eligible subjects will receive BSG-001 for at least 12 weeks (3 cycles).
This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of drainage of refractory malignant ascites by endoscopic ultrasound-guided (EUS-Guided) implantation of plastic prostheses. Patients with cancer older than 18 years with a life expectancy of less than 6 months who undergo EUS-Guided will be included in the study.
This study makes an observation over the objective response rate of autologous erythrocytes derived microparticles packaging methotrexate peritoneal perfusion and systemic therapy combination in the treatment of malignant ascites. All the participants will randomly receive the treatment of autologous erythrocytes derived microparticles packaging methotrexate peritoneal perfusion and systemic therapy combination or convention drugs peritoneal perfusion and systemic therapy combination.
Treatment of malignant ascites with the alfapump offers a new treatment option for this patient group. So far, there is no systematic analysis of patients with this indication available in the literature. This retrospective analysis offers the possibility to assemble already existing data within a reasonably short time frame. Based on this analysis, a prospective analysis can be designed.
Malignant ascites is a severe complication of many types of human cancer. Animal and clinical analyses have shown that angiogenesis plays a critical role in the formation of malignant ascites. Therefore, drugs such as apatinib that target angiogenesis may control the development of malignant ascites. The study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of apatinib in patients with refractory malignant ascites.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether drainage with the usage of a fine, patient-controlled vascular catheter inserted into abdominal cavity is a feasible, safe and effective method in the management of symptomatic malignant ascites. Complications' rate of the procedure and patients' quality of life, nutritional status and experience on the treatment are main endpoints.
