Filter by: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.
A Phase 1, open label, dose escalation and expanded cohort study of P-MUC1C-ALLO1 in adult subjects with advanced or metastatic epithelial derived solid tumors, including but not limited to the tumor types listed below.
This phase IIa trial investigates if giving obeticholic acid (OCA) is safe and has a beneficial effect on the number of polyps in the small bowel and colon in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). FAP is a rare gene defect that increases the risk of developing cancer of the intestines and colon. OCA is a drug similar to a bile acid the body makes. It is fluid made and released by the liver. OCA binds to a receptor in the intestine that is believed to have a positive effect on preventing cancer development. OCA has been effective in treating primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), a liver disease, and is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use at a lower dose (10 mg). There have been studies showing that OCA decreases inflammation and fibrosis. However, it is not yet known whether OCA works on reducing the number of polyps in patients with FAP.
This study is a single-arm, randomized, open-label, multi-cohort Phase Ib clinical trial. The experimental drug is TQB2858 Injection. The trial was divided into 3 cohorts. Cohort 1 included patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma who had previously failed platinum-based chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors (programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/ Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), etc.). Cohorts 2 and 3 were randomized into patients with advanced, untreated nasopharyngeal carcinoma who had not received prior systemic therapy. A total of 60-90 subjects are required.
This study is the first phase II study of 177Lu-DOTA0-Tyr3-Octreotate in metastatic NPC. Patients whom have failed 2 or more lines of therapy or exhausted standard therapy and are avid on 68Ga-DOTATATE imaging will be eligible to receive up to 4 cycles of 177Lu-DOTA0-Tyr3-Octreotate. The primary outcome will be progression free survival at 6 months.
"Nasal polyposis is a chronic inflammation of the sinonasal mucosa which is characterized by the development of polyps in the sinonasal cavities. In the general population, its prevalence is 4% with a clear increase from the age of 50 years. When drug treatment is not effective, and the patient's quality of life is impaired, surgery is proposed. It allows to widen the nasal cavities with aerodynamic and acoustics effects on speech. There are few studies, that have focused on the impact of NP and its treatment on speech. Yet there is a real demand from patients to obtain answers related to the impact of this surgery on their voice. Preoperatively and postoperatively, the resonance will be disturbed: polyps will impacted the quality of the nasal sounds. And after surgery, the new anatomical shape can create an excessive resonance in the nasal cavities. Indeed, there is a diversity of acoustic effects that differ according to the sinuses involved, the nature and type of surgery and the anatomical and physiological specificities of the patient. The impairment of acoustic properties after surgery is diverse and little known. The surgery improves the communication between sinuses and nasal cavities but the real impact on nasal resonance still unknown. The particularity of this pathology stands in the obstruction of the sinonasal cavity by polyps. On this study, it represents a model of nasality disturbance/impairment ? Indeed, all aspects of nasality will be altered : the articulation by the obstruction of the sino-nasal cavities, the aerodynamic by a disturbance of the circulation of the airflow within the nasal cavity, acoustics by an alteration of the resonance of this flow, and finally the perception of speech by others where the comprehension of speech is difficult. Thus, the investigators wish to observe this dysfunction in a multipara metric way in order to have an accurate approach. This population is therefore ideal. In preoperative, it will allow to measure by aerodynamic, articulatory, acoustic, and perceptive data taking this dysfunction, to give precise answers. Then, postoperatively, these measurements will be repeated to observe a return to the expected functioning of the nasal cavity. Indeed, the cavities being no longer congested, a greater flow of nasal air would be expected, which would have acoustic consequences on the resonance of nasal sounds. This could be accentuated because of the new anatomical configuration due to the surgery. Perceptually, the voice after surgery should no longer be considered as pathological. In addition to the linguistics aspect, this population has the particularity of having a strongly impacted quality of life. The investigators would therefore like to measure this impact on quality of life before and after surgery. For this study, the main objective is to measure the articulatory, aerodynamics, acoustics and perceptive impact of the nasal polyposis on speech before and after surgery. the secondaries objectives are to: - Compare the differences in aerodynamic, acoustic, articulatory and perceptual changes between the ""presence of polyps in the nasal and sinus cavities"" group and the ""presence of polyps in the sinus cavities"" group - Compare the modifications on the speech of the pathology before and after surgical treatment - Identify the elements related to the quality of life impacted by this pathology. - Identify the glottic compensation strategies induced by the pathology - Compare preoperative and postoperative nasal resonance and the relationship between nasal and sinus cavities using 3D models - Validate the adequacy of the nasality-speech questionnaire for patients with sinonasal polyposis"
This is a trial that intends to evaluate the effect of treatment with the drug obeticholic acid in the treatment of the Familial Adenomatous Polyposis condition.
This study is about TAK-500, given either alone or with pembrolizumab, in adults with select locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The aims of the study are: - to assess the safety profile of TAK-500 when given alone and when given with pembrolizumab. - to assess the anti-tumor effects of TAK-500, when given alone and when given with pembrolizumab, in adults with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. Participants may receive TAK-500 for up to 1 year. Participants may continue with their treatment if they have continuing benefit and if this is approved by their study doctor. Participants who are receiving TAK-500 either alone or with pembrolizumab will continue with their treatment until their disease progresses or until they or their study doctor decide they should stop this treatment.
nasosinus polyposis (=PNS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal cavity and sinus cavity with a prevalence of 2 to 4% in the general population. The functional impact of PNS has a major impact on one's quality of life.Medical treatment, nasal irrigations and local glucocorticoids as well as short treatment of oral glucocorticoids have shown a short-term benefit versus placebo. Surgery improves the efficacy of local treatments, but 40% of patients have a recurrence of polyps at 18 months and 20% of patients require a surgery recovery at 5 years. The development of monoclonal antibodies directly targeting the inflammatory way is a real public health issue. Bachert C. et al recently demonstrated the efficacy of Dupilumab (anti-IL-4/13 antibody) injected subcutaneously on the overall symptomatology of PNS. The marketing authorization (AMM) for the first biotherapy to be available soon includes PNS's severe nature and resistance to treatment, although there is no consensus definition or score to characterize this severity. This study aims at developping a score for assessing severity in PNS. We suggest that this assessment strategy could be applied to the PNS. The originality and the innovative character of this project is the statistical modeling behind the creation of the score. Thus, the importance of symptoms, anatomical and biological factors, the estimation of the quality of life of the patients, the level of care use and the number of surgeries all become measurable indicators that are a direct reflexion of the severity and the control of PNS, called latent variables because they cannot be directly measured. To consider this detail, modeling using structural equations seems optimal to develop a severity score (PSI score) of PNS in order to personalize the therapeutic care of patients. Main Objective: To develop a severity score for PNS using latent variable modeling: Polyps Severity Index (PSI)
