Filter by:The long-term outcome of patients resected for colorectal liver metastases (CLM) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (CHT) depends by several tumoral and non-tumoral factors, such as the immune response to the tumor and to the CHT. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the pathological and immunological response in patients undergoing liver resection for CLM after CHT in regards to the long-term outcome.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn about the safety and accuracy of using MRI as a guidance system during laser ablation surgery of tumors that have spread to the spine.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether tanezumab is effective in the treatment of cancer pain due to bone metastasis in patients already taking background opioid therapy.
This is two parallel studies to examine pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD), and pharmacogenetic (PG) endpoints following short-interval therapy (10-14) daily doses without dose reduction and interruption) with the ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase) small-molecule inhibitor, ceritinib. The Phase 0 study will investigate: 1. first recurrence GBM patients and 2. patients with CNS metastases from solid tumors such as, but not limited to, NSCLC (non-small cell lung cancer) and melanoma. The CNS (central nervous system) metastases Phase 0 is designed to identify PK effects (in addition to PD, and PG effects on ALK-positive NSCLC metastases), while the GBM Phase 0 is designed to identify PK, PD, and PG effects in all patients.
This is a phase I dose escalation study (3+3 design) with a dose expansion arm (12 patients) designed to evaluate safety of the combination of Tas-102 and radioembolization using Yttrium-90 (90Y) resin microspheres for patients with chemotherapy-refractory liver-dominant chemotherapy-refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).
Patients having radiotherapy to their head and neck wear an immobilisation shell to prevent patient movement and improve treatment accuracy. These shells tend to cover the face and have the potential to cause anxiety and distress in patients, particularly if they suffer with claustrophobia or a similar fear. The study will use an 'open-face' shell that does not cover the face and compare this with the investigators' current 'closed-face' shell. The investigators will obtain treatment verification x-ray images to assess the daily set-up errors and compare these between the two shell type, and ask both patients and radiographers of their experiences from using the shells. Hypothesis: Open-face immobilisation shells offer equivalent accuracy and efficiency of radiotherapy delivery and are better accepted by patients and radiographers as compared to closed-face immobilisation shells for cranial radiotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a polypill strategy containing aspirin (100 mg), ramipril (2.5, 5 or 10 mgs), and atorvastatin (40 mgs) compared with the standard of care (usual care according to the local clinical practices at each participating country) in secondary prevention of major cardiovascular events (cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal ischemic stroke, and urgent revascularization) in elderly patients with a recent myocardial infarction.
The next generation of personalized medical treatment according to the type of personal genetic information are evolving rapidly. The genome analysis needs systematic infra and database based on personal genetic information. Therefore, a big data of genome-clinical information is important. To determine the feasibility of the use of tumor's molecular profiling and targeted therapies in the treatment of advanced cancer and to determine the clinical outcome(Response rate,PFS, duration of response and overall survival )of patients with advanced cancer, the investigators are going to take a tumor tissue of patients and process molecular profiling and receive molecular profile directed treatments.
This is a randomized clinical trial to investigate the efficacy of letrozole combined with metronomic oral cyclophosphamide in elderly metastasis breast cancer patients.
This expanded access study will assess the efficacy and safety of intravenous (IV) bevacizumab in combination with chemotherapy regimens as first-line treatment of metastatic cancer of the colon or rectum. The anticipated time on study treatment is approximately 10 months, and the target sample size is 40 individuals.
