Filter by:This trial aims to study the role of Adebrelimab combined with induction chemotherapy plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy (IC+CCRT) for high-risk locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma(LANPC).
The hypothesize of this research is that rapamycin is effective and well-tolerated in teenagers with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). Rapamycin could be effective in blocking the formation of adenomas and/or their evolution by decreasing their size and number. Researchers aim to assess the safety profile of rapamycin in FAP adolescents using a 2 low dose regimen.
First-diagnosed metastasis or recurrence/metastasis NPC Patients will be treated with anlotinib, penpulimab and capecitabine.
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).
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)
"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.
Multicentre , non-randomized, prospective clinical trial to assess efficacy of Nivolumab in treatment of nasopharyngeal cancer who progressed during or after platinum-based chemotherapy . Patients disqualified from radical therapy . The total number of patients was estimated for 32.
This trial intends to enroll patients with T4N1 or T1-4N2-3 (AJCC 8th) locoregionally-advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LANPC). All the Patients will receive 3 cycles of induction chemotherapy with docetaxel and cisplatin and cisplatin based concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) plus adjuvant immunotherapy (tisleilizumab). All patients will receive intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). Tisleilizumab will begin 4-6 weeks after CCRT and continue every 3 weeks for 12 cycles.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause for cancer related mortality in the western world with a lifetime risk of 6%. Etiology is complex, while genetic background significantly affects the risk. Around one third of all genetic disorders as well as most cases of Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) and a large proportion of all sporadic CRC cases occur as a result of premature nonsense mutations (creating a stop codon) in an individual's adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene. Nonsense mutations are single-point alterations in the DNA that prematurely halt the protein translation process, producing a shortened, nonfunctional protein. In many of these cases, if the cell can be 'persuaded' to ignore the premature stop codon signal, the resulting protein may be able to ameliorate or stop the disease. Recently, members of the aminoglycoside family of antibiotics have been found to induce ribosomal read-through of nonsense mutations, leading to expression of a full length, functional protein. Investigators have recently shown that members of the aminoglycoside and macrolide antibiotic families can induce read-through of the nonsense mutations in the APC gene and lead to reduced oncogenic phenotypes in CRC cells and in different mice models. The aim of this project is to determine the ability of the macrolide antibiotic-Azithromycin to induce read-through of the nonsense mutations in the APC gene and to induce expression of a full length, functional APC protein in patients suffering from FAP and to tests its effect on adenoma number and size and on desmoid tumors in these patients. The future goal is to maximize the effect of stop-codon suppressors on APC while minimizing side effects. In this study the investigators will select FAP patients which carry APC nonsense mutations, treat them with Azithromycin PO for 4-6 months and examine colonic and duodenal adenomas as well as abdominal desmoid tumors, that will be documented before during and after treatment. In parallel, investigators will test polyp, adenoma and desmoid tissue samples as well as blood samples from these patients for changes in expression levels of the APC protein and related oncogenic markers. Suppression of nonsense mutations within the APC gene should be of benefit for patients suffering from FAP, attenuated FAP or multiple adenomas and for patients with advanced or diffuse CRC. Furthermore, given the rapid progress being made in the identification of different nonsense mutations in human genes that lead to mostly non-curable disease, the identification of clinically approved compounds that suppress nonsense mutations and that can be administered long-term without significant side effects would open new venues in the treatment of genetic human diseases that arise from pre-mature stop codons in important coding sequences. Immediate goal: establish the ability of Azithromycin to read-through APC nonsense mutation in FAP patients. The read-through effect of Azithromycin will be clinically tested by counting and measuring the number and size of both colonic and duodenal adenomas before and over treatment and by measuring the size of known desmoid tumors. Samples of the adenomas and desmoid tumors will be tested by western blot, immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry for restoration of APC expression and changes in oncogenic markers. These experiments should be conducted within 6 month. Long term objective: 1. Determine the lowest dose of Azithromycin that can inhibit growth of colonic neoplasia and CRC in patients expressing a truncated APC protein due to nonsense mutations. 2. Examine the ability of a panel of additional macrolide antibiotics to induce APC nonsense mutation suppression using in-vitro methods. Investigators will focus on macrolide antibiotics that are currently in clinical use and are administrated for long terms. These objectives should take around 4 month and will be conducted in parallel.
