Filter by:HER2-Predict is a multi-center, observational study using biological samples from patients treated with DS-8201a in the metastatic setting. Patients will provide a baseline FFPE tumor sample and additionally, blood sample for ctDNA determination will be collected.
GNX102 is a humanized monoclonal antibody (mAb), an engineered biotechnology product, developed by GlycoNex that targets certain cancer cells by binding with high affinity to specific structures on cancer cells. Specifically, GNX102 binds to novel glycan structures caused by glycosylation changes in tumors. Patients with epithelial origin cancers that have a likelihood of GNX102 targeted antigen expression based on previous studies, including colorectal, hepatocellular, non-small cell lung, gastric, breast, pancreatic, cutaneous, acral, or mucosal melanoma, esophageal, prostate, and epithelial uterine cancers, can be screened for enrollment in the study.
This is a prospective research study which will include patients who have progressed on immunotherapy as their most recent line of therapy. This study aims to characterize whether patients who fail to respond to immunotherapy versus patients who respond initially but after a period of time progress demonstrate different genomic, transcriptomic, epigenetic, immunophenotyping profiles. Patients will have a one-time fresh tumor biopsy. Serial blood samples (total amount of blood drawn may not exceed the lesser of 50 mL or 3 mL/kg in an 8 week period), archival tissue (if available) and one stool sample will be collected.
This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of VE800 in combination with nivolumab in patients with selected types of advanced or metastatic cancer
This study will be conducted in adult subjects diagnosed with any form of an advanced or metastatic solid tumors including urothelial carcinoma for which standard therapy is no longer effective or is intolerable. This is a phase 1, multi-center, open label study designed to assess safety and tolerability of IK-175 as a single agent and in combination with nivolumab, to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). Disease response, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and response biomarkers will also be assessed.
This is a feasibility study to assess the use of a Digital Medicine Program (consisting of an FDA-approved ingestible sensor co-encapsulated with oxycodone/acetaminophen (5 mg/325 mg), a small wearable patch, and a mobile application) in cancer patients with metastatic disease experiencing uncontrolled pain.
Phase II clinical trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the combination of cediranib and durvalumab in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM) with biopsiable disease at first line of after failure to first line systemic or liver directed therapy.
Balancing Method for Pain Related to Advanced Cancer seeks to confirm the benefit of acupuncture for patients with pain related to advanced cancer.
Every day many patients affected by chronic life-limiting illnesses are admitted into Internal Medicine wards, coming from the Emergency Department. Many studies suggest that providing palliative care to these patients may improve their end-of-life care while reducing costs by minimizing futile treatments and unwanted intensive care unit admissions. Consequently, there is a strong need for acute care hospitals to more vigorously identify patients entering the final phase of their lives as well as their specific care needs. In a previous study the investigators screened for need of palliative care patients affected by progressive chronic diseases by means of a tool, based on the Italian Society of Anesthesia, Analgesia, Resuscitation, and Intensive Care - SIAARTI - position paper reporting criteria for patients with end-stage chronic organ failures, and on the specific clinical indicators elaborated by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) for patients with locally advanced/metastatic cancer. In a further pilot study, the investigators compared the outcomes of PC patients depending on whether the palliative care team evaluated such patients only if requested by the physician staff or routinely, irrespectively of a specific request, finding a significant increase of discharges after the activation of an appropriate PC service or scheduled PC ambulatory visit. In the present study the investigators enroll chronically ill patients admitted to an Internal Medicine Unit from the Emergency Department, to be screened for palliative care need, using the previously cited SIAARTI/NCCN screening tool (Extended Screening Tool - EST), or using a Simplified Screening Tool (SST), derived from the first instrument, which preliminary showed a superimposable efficacy. This latter tool has advantages related to much more shortness and therefore simplicity in the administration to a seriously ill patient and is much less time consuming, allowing the physician to use it routinely. The aim of the study is to verify the accuracy of the SST in identifying chronically ill patients in need of a PC approach, in comparison to the SIAARTI/NCCN tool (EST). If the SST would show good accuracy, an easily manageable tool for the assessment of PC needs in chronically ill patients would be available for the daily routine.
This study aims to determine the clinical effectiveness of whole-genome and transcriptome analysis (WGTA) to guide advanced cancer care. The study setting is the British Columbia (BC) Personalized OncoGenomics (POG) program, a single group research study of WGTA guiding treatment planning for patients with advanced, incurable cancers (NCT02155621). To characterize clinical effectiveness, the survival impacts of POG's approach compared to usual care in matched controls will be estimated.
