Filter by:This phase I/II trial tests the safety and side effects of psilocybin in combination with therapy for the treatment of patients with metastatic cancer and symptoms of anxiety and/or depression. Psilocybin is a substance being studied in conjunction with therapy for the treatment of anxiety and depression in patients with cancer. In this study, the psilocybin being used is derived from the mushroom psilocybe cubensis using a patented process that results in a pharmaceutical grade version of psilocybin. Psilocybin acts by activating serotonin receptors on brain cells which can change perceptions and patterns of thinking in ways that may decrease anxiety.
This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PLS240 in patients with hemodialysis-dependent end stage kidney disease (ESKD) and secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). The study consists of two phases. First, a placebo-controlled, double-blind phase where patients will be randomly assigned to either receive dose-titrated PLS240 or matching placebo for 27 weeks. After the completion of the double-blind phase, patients will be eligible to enroll in the open-label extension phase, where they will receive dose-titrated PLS240 for an additional 26 weeks. Throughout the duration of the study, patients will be expected to attend multiple study visits where an investigator will collect blood, preform electrocardiograms (ECGs) and physical exams, and further assess the safety and efficacy of PLS240.

Spatially fractionated radiotherapy (SFRT or GRID) addresses some limitations of traditional stereotactic body radiation therapy by relying on beam collimation to create high-dose "peaks" and intervening low-dose "valleys" throughout the target volume. Standard palliative radiotherapy regimens provide limited durability of response, and there are challenges with delivery to large tumors or in previously irradiated fields. In this study, Proton GRID radiotherapy will be used to deliver three-fraction palliative radiotherapy to patients with tumors needing palliative radiation. The safety and efficacy of this approach will be assessed. It is hypothesized that GRID is highly effective, immunogenic, and associated with low rates of toxicity.
This is a single center study enrolling up to 10 patients. The primary objective is to Evaluate the feasibility and safety of the DaRT for the treatment of Liver Metastases. The secondary objective is to evaluate the pathological response of liver metastases according to the Modified tumor regression grade[1] and to evaluate the radiological response of liver metastases using the RECIST criteria.
Intermittent Ramadan fasting was associated with a risk of complications in patients with adrenal insufficiency. A risk stratification with recommendations (lifestyle and drug adjustment) for fasting in these patients has been recently published. So, this prospective interventional study was carried out to evaluated these recommendations. Patients with secondary adrenal insufficiency and willing to fast Ramadan were included. Before Ramadan, patients underwent a clinical examination and were educated for lifestyle measures and the schedule of glucocorticoid replacement therapy was adjusted. The occurrence of complications and the number of fasted days during the month of Ramadan 2023 were reported and compared with those of Ramadan 2022.
This study was a retrospective, non-interventional, longitudinal, descriptive study. This study did not have a key underlying hypothesis, rather it was designed to explore the onboarding and adherence of SPMS patients in Australia to Mayzent (siponimod) treatment. Initiating siponimod involves pre-screen tests, including a CYP2C9 genotype test to determine siponimod maintenance dosing, and patients underwent a 6-day titration prior to maintenance. The MSGo platform was developed to support onboarding. It is an integrated digital platform that functions as a patient support service.
This is a single center prospective study to compare the short term results of prosthesis, nail and plate-screw surgeries for metastatic pathologic fractures.
Background: To assist clinicians with diagnosis and optimal treatment decision-making, we attempted to develop and validate an artificial intelligence prediction model for lung metastasis (LM) in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Method: The clinicopathological characteristics of 46037 CRC patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and 2779 CRC patients from a multi-center external validation set were collected retrospectively. After feature selection by univariate and multivariate analyses, six machine learning (ML) models, including logistic regression, K-nearest neighbor, support vector machine, decision tree, random forest, and balanced random forest (BRF), were developed and validated for the LM prediction. The optimization model with best performance was compared to the clinical predictor. In addition, stratified LM patients by risk score were utilized for survival analysis.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare in resectable colorectal cancer liver metastasis patients.The main question it aims to answer is whether the 3-year progression-free survival rate (PFS) of "watching and waiting" is non-inferior to adjuvant chemotherapy in postoperative ctDNA-negative resectable colorectal cancer liver metastasis patients.Participants will undergo ctDNA testing after resection of colorectal cancer liver metastasis, and will be randomly assigned to receive adjuvant chemotherapy or "watching and waiting" treatment strategy. The researchers will compare the outcomes between the two groups to see if the PFS between the two groups is similar.
