Filter by:The aims of this Study are to determine: - How much of the Study Drug (bemcentinib) ends up in urine and faeces - How much of the Study Drug and its breakdown products get into the bloodstream - The breakdown products (metabolites) of the Study Drug - The safety of the Study Drug and any side effects that might be associated with it.
People with cancer affecting the lungs tend to be older and frailer compared to people with other cancers. As a result, they may have poorer quality of life and are less able to tolerate treatments for their cancer, such as chemotherapy. Research to date show that nutrition and physical activity support helps people with cancer, but not many older people are included in these studies. The investigators want to develop and test a nutrition and activity programme for older people with lung cancer that can be tailored to each patient to help them have the best possible quality of life from the moment they start a new line of cancer treatment. The research team has conducted the development work to find which nutrition and activity programmes are best for this patient group and how best to deliver the programme by looking at prior studies and talking to patients and carers as well as health care providers. The next step is to test the developed programme in a small pilot study, to i) see if it is possible and acceptable (to patients, families, and staff) to deliver and ii) see if it helps patients have and cope with anti-cancer treatments and improve patient quality of life.
The researchers are doing this study to find out whether the combination of pembrolizumab and cryoablation is a safe treatment that causes few or mild side effects in people with mesothelioma. The researchers will also look at whether the combination of pembrolizumab and cryoablation is effective against participants' cancer.
This study is for individuals who have peritoneal mesothelioma, a cancer of the lining of your abdominal wall and organs (the peritoneum). Doctors leading the study would like to determine the effects of treating this cancer with immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab and ipilimumab - the two study drugs that will be used in this study) before and after surgery. Doctors hope to learn if giving these two drugs before surgery will decrease the amount of viable (live) cancer cells that remain at the time of surgery and whether it will delay the time it could take for the cancer to regrow.
The present study was a phase IV, post-marketing, observational study for safety evaluation of Alvopem® use in Iranian patients with non-small cell lung cancer and malignant pleural mesothelioma. No control groups were included in the study design. The primary objective of this study was safety assessment, including the incidence of AEs.
The objective of this multicentre descriptive analysis is to describe the clinical and biological characteristics of patients who have received Programmed cell death 1 (anti-PD1) / (PDL1) Programmed death-ligand 1 (PDL1) immunotherapy outside of a clinical trial in terms of efficacy and safety.
The participants of this study will have advanced malignancies (also known as advanced cancer). The main aim of this trial will be to study the blood levels (known as pharmacokinetics) of the tazemtostat (the study drug) when administered in combination with another drug. Part 1 of the study will evaluate the interaction between the drugs tazemetostat and itraconazole. Part 2 of the study will evaluate the interaction between the drugs tazemetostat and rifampin For both Parts 1 and 2, safety and the level that effects of the study drug can be tolerated (known as tolerability) will be assessed throughout.
This research study, is trying to determine the highest dose of magnesium that can be given safely to people with malignant mesothelioma receiving intraoperative chemotherapy with cisplatin who are at risk for acute kidney injury. The name(s) of the study drug involved in this study is - magnesium sulfate.
This is a multi-center, open-label, dose escalation study to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of QBS10072S in patients with advanced or metastatic cancers with high LAT1 expression. The MTD of QBS10072S will be confirmed in patients with relapsed or refractory grade 4 astrocytoma.
Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related ill-health and death in the United Kingdom (UK), but with advances in systemic anti-cancer therapies the prognosis for people in later stages is improving. There is growing evidence that electronic systems which enable patients to monitor and report symptoms can help improve symptom control and patient care. This study aims to investigate optimal ways of introducing an electronic symptom reporting system (eRAPID) in lung cancer care at Leeds Cancer Centre. eRAPID was developed by the University of Leeds and its integration with the electronic health records at Leeds Cancer Centre enables staff to view patient symptom reports directly. eRAPID provides advice to patients about self-management of milder symptoms, for serious symptoms patients are encouraged to contact the hospital and an alert is sent to the nurse or doctor by email. The aim of the study is to assess the feasibility and usefulness of an electronic symptom reporting system (eRAPID) for lung cancer patients and healthcare professionals during the treatment of lung cancer and during one year follow up. Two groups of patients will be recruited on the basis of their access to the internet at home (rather than randomisation). It is anticipated that approximately 100 patients will enrol into one of two groups: - Group 1: Patients with online access at home will be asked to report weekly using their own devices. - Group 2: Patients without online access will be asked to report on a tablet computer before their planned clinic appointments. The eRAPID questionnaire is based on existing eRAPID items with the addition of new items specific to lung cancer. These have been developed by the clinical team and patient groups have been consulted over the suitability of the wording used. Analysis of patient reported symptoms, quality of life and clinical information will be descriptive. Disease-related symptoms and health-related quality of life will be compared across groups of patients with a diagnosis of lung cancer. Treatment-related side effects of patients will be compared across the different types of treatment received. To determine the best means of engaging patients in systematic electronic reporting, the recruitment and compliance rate will be compared between the two patient groups. The utility of patient reported information to healthcare staff will be assessed through staff interviews.
