Filter by:The trial aimed to compare cadonilimab combined with induction chemotherapy plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy (IC+CCRT) versus IC+CCRT alone in high-risk locoregionally-advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LANPC).
The study aims to describe the avidity of somatostatin receptors in locally advanced, metastatic and locally recurrent nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) and to determine the proportion of NPC patients with high somatostatin receptor density that may benefit from future somatostatin targeted therapeutic trial plans. The investigators also aim to determine the presence of somatostatin receptors in other EBV related cancers.
The study is to evaluate the antiemetic effect of adding fosaprepitant to biplet regimen of tropisetron and dexamethasone for patients with cervical cancer or nasopharyngeal cancer treated with radiotherapy and concomitant weekly cisplatin chemotherapy in a south Chinese cohort.
Cancer care for head and neck cancers is multidisciplinary and complex and knowledge on the rare ones is limited. There is a wide consensus that to support clinical research on rare cancers, clinical registries should be developed within networks specializing in rare cancers. Our hypothesis is that our head and neck cancer registry established in the framework of the European reference network on rare adults solid cancers will help to: describe the natural history of rare head and neck cancers; evaluate factors that influence prognosis; assess treatment effectiveness; measure indicators of quality of care. The registry is a prospective observational real-world registry. It collects data from already available registries/database and/or directly from expert health care providers (HCP). Information are prospectively collected on patient characteristics; exposure, outcomes and potential confounders (https://euracan.eu/research/starter/rare-head-and-neck-cancer-registry/#codebook). The registry if federated (i.e. data are stored by the data provider). Analyses will be performed using the federated learning approach which split computations into a local part and a central part. The data providers will share sub-computations only. Data quality checks are envisioned to assess whether data value are present, valid and believable. Validity and plausibility checks are embedded in the electronic case report form (CRF) in the form of alerts and errors during the data input. Additional checks are implemented in R and run using the federated learning to ensure a central data quality monitoring. The data analyses will include descriptive statistics showing frequency and patterns of patients' and cancers' variables; analytical analyses investigating the association of patients/disease and/or treatment characteristics and health outcomes. Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori (INT) is the coordinator of the EURACAN registry as well as a data provider. At the INT, and at each HCP involved, responsible investigators ensure that the EURACAN registry will be implemented in compliance with the protocol, following the instructions and procedures described herein. Each HCP is a controller and will identify a data processor. The processing of patients' personal data taking part in the registry is compliant with local privacy legislation and the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 of the EU.
This is a multi-center, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled Phase III study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CM310, and to observe the life quality of subjects, the Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and immumogenicity of CM310 in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP).
Rationale: Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) syndrome is characterized by the development of numerous colorectal polyps. If left untreated, these patients have a chance of nearly 100% of developing colorectal cancer (CRC) at a young age. Therefore, guidelines recommend a prophylactic colectomy during early adulthood. Even after colectomy, most patients will develop adenomas in the retained rectum or ileoanal pouch requiring further endoscopic surveillance. In a recent study in mouse models, a chemopreventive effect of Lithium was observed on the spread of Apc mutated cells within the crypts of normal intestinal mucosa, suggesting polyp formation can be prevented. Lithium is used to treat patients with bipolar disorders but has never been investigated in patients with FAP aiming to reduce polyp burden. We hypothesize that Lithium could reduce the spread of APC mutated cells within the crypt of normal intestinal mucosa potentially reducing polyp burden in patients with FAP. Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of low-dose Lithium on stem cell dynamics, the number and size of polyps and, to assess safety outcomes of this drug in FAP patients. Study design: A prospective phase II, single arm pilot trial, with a duration of 18 months. The drug will be administered between month 6 and 12. Study population: Twelve patients with FAP between the age of 18 and 35 not having undergone a colectomy (yet), having a genetically confirmed APC mutation and a family history with a classical FAP phenotype. Intervention: All patients will be treated with Lithium with an oral dose of 300mg a day for six months, achieving a therapeutic serum level between 0.2-0.4 mmol/L. Main study parameters/endpoints: The main outcome parameter is the effect of Lithium on the spread of APC mutant cells within intestinal crypts over time by using an APC specific marker NOTUM (a significance reduce of fixed crypts and reduction of fixed clone size of 50%). Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: A physical examination and an endoscopy with biopsies will be performed at baseline and every six months (four in total). Laboratory testing will be done at baseline and every two months during Lithium treatment. Patients will be interviewed by phone and Lithium side effect questionnaires will be obtained at baseline and during Lithium treatment. Lithium serum levels will be measured at day 12 and 22 after start of the study drug (at month 6). When the therapeutic range has been achieved, serum level testing will be done every month. Most relevant side-effects that could potential occur include polyuria, hyperparathyroidism and hypothyroidism. Most side effects are dose-dependent and will be regularly monitored. Patients with FAP could potentially benefit from a chemopreventive therapy such as Lithium to postpone or even avoid invasive types of surgery.
Incidences of de novo metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma range from 6% to 8% at the time of presentation. For the initial diagnosis of metastatic NPC, PD-1 plus chemotherapy yields a satisfactory outcome with1year PFS of 40%. Previous study demonstrated the benefit of adding radiotherapy to chemotherapy in metastatic NPC, however there is no evidence whether radiotherapy can further improve PFS based on chemotherapy plus PD-1 . The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of first-line immunochemotherapy combined with radiotherapy for initial diagnosed metastatic NPC.
The investigators hypothesize that the addition of bevacizumab and pembrolizumab to induction cisplatin and gemcitabine is tolerable and improves metabolic complete response (mCR), relapse free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) compared to induction cisplatin and gemcitabine in patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC)
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and potential of dendritic cells therapy and secretomes therapy for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer.
