Filter by:The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of sirolimus on the progression of intestinal adenomas in patients with FAP and to assess the safety of this treatment.
Although patient-reported adverse events have been promoted as an essential element in clinical trials and daily managements, their efficacy remained unknown. The purpose of this trial was to determine the effect of the patient-reported adverse events during the treatment on the improvements on quality of life.
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been proven to process a strong association in patient of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Monitoring plasma EBV DNA in NPC patients can provide reliable informations in early detecting tumor recurrence or risk grouping.
This is a prospective, multi-center, open-label, non-randomized, multi-arm phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy of combination therapy with pembrolizumab and cetuximab for patients with recurrent/metastatic HNSCC. There will be four patient cohorts, including a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor-naïve, cetuximab-naïve arm (Cohort 1), a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor-refractory, cetuximab-naïve arm (Cohort 2), a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor-refractory, cetuximab-refractory arm (Cohort 3), and a cutaneous HNSCC arm (Cohort 4). A total of 83 patients (33 in Cohort 1, 25 in Cohort 2, 15 in Cohort 3, and 10 in Cohort 4) will be eligible to enroll. Patients will be enrolled at 4 sites: UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, UC Los Angeles Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center, and University of Washington Siteman Cancer Center.
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma has high incidence in the southern China, especially in Guangdong Province. In the world, the standardized morbidity has reached 30/10 million in men while in women, about 13/10 million. At present, the incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in China accounted for more than 80% of the world. The cancer-related deaths is in the eighth, which is a serious threat to our people's health and life. A recent multi-center phase II study of stage II nasopharyngeal carcinoma showed that: compared with Intensity Modulation Radiotherapy (IMRT) plus cisplatin, the 3 year local control rate, regional control rate, distant metastasis-free survival rate and disease-specific survival rate of IMRT were similar, but the side effects of radiotherapy alone group were lower. Based on the results of the phase II clinical study, the investigators designed this phase III clinical study, with the aim to compared the efficacy and toxicity of these two treatment programs. And finally to provide sufficient evidence for the treatment of stage II nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
A Phase 2, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial for the effectivness of wholistic turmeric supplementation on polyp burden mong patients with Familial Adenomatouse Polyposis (FAP). Fourty Patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to recieve treatment with 8 capsuls (2*4 capsuls/day) of wholistic Turmeric capsules (Pukka herbs) or placebo for six months.
Concurrent Chemotherapy for Elderly Patients With Locoregionally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
This randomized phase I trial studies how well olfactory training works in improving sense of smell after radiation therapy in patients with paranasal sinus or nasopharyngeal cancer. Olfactory training may improve smell function after radiation therapy in patients with paranasal sinus or nasopharyngeal cancer.
Background: Combinations of Dendritic and Cytokine-induced Killer Cells (DC-CIK) and Cytokine-induced Killer Cells (CIK) treatment may enhance the immune response and stop cancer cells from growing. The investigators suppose that DC-CIK combined with CIK treatment will improve the prognosis of advanced solid tumors. Objective: Phase II clinical trial to investigate the efficacy of concurrent chemotherapy with DC-CIK and CIK treatment in patients with treatment-refractory solid tumors. Study treatment: Patients in group A will receive 4 cycles of CIK treatments and 4 cycles of DC-CIK treatments within 8 months. Patients in group B will have no immunotherapy . chemotherapy are available in both groups.
This is a Phase II Randomized Trial to Compare Paclitaxel combined with DDP Plus Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy With DDP Plus Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy in Patients With Locoregionally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
