To investigate the safety and efficacy of intraperitoneal infusion of EpCAM CAR-T cell in advanced gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis by a prospective nonrandomized controlled trial.
The CLiFF Study will assess changes in liver function and liver fat in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CLM) undergoing pre-operative chemotherapy before liver resection. There will be no change to the standard treatment for CLM. The change in liver fat will be assessed using novel magnetic resonance techniques and the change in liver function will be measured using a newly-developed fully-licensed breath test to give the most accurate measure of liver function possible. Understanding if these changes are related or reversible will help to understand the relationship between obesity and cancer. This is an important issue, as obesity is now the second most common cause of cancer worldwide.
This trial aimed to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of ruxolitinib in combination with cytotoxic chemotherapy for post-myeloproliferative neoplasm secondary acute myeloid leukemia.
JMT103 is a novel, full human IgG4 monoclonal antibody targeting RANKL. In preclinical studies, JMT103 demonstrated strong activity through blocking RANKL receptor, RANK on the surface of osteoclasts, leading to inhibit osteoclast differentiation, activation, and maturation and reduce bone resorption. This first-in-human study is conducted to assess the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) ,to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy (bone turnover markers) of recombinant fully human Anti-RANKL Monoclonal Antibody (JMT103) in patients with bone metastases from tumors at single doses and multiple doses. About 36 cases patients are to be recruited.
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a commonly used treatment for brain tumors. It is a one-day (or in some cases two day), out-patient procedure during which a high dose of radiation is delivered to small spots in the brain while excluding the surrounding normal brain. Whole brain radiation therapy with hippocampal avoidance (HA-WBRT) is when radiation therapy is given to the whole brain, while trying to decrease the amount of radiation that is delivered to the area of the hippocampus. The hippocampus is a brain structure that is important for memory. Memantine is a drug that is given to help relieve symptoms that can be caused by WBRT, including problems with memory and other mental symptoms. Health Canada, the regulatory body that oversees the use of drugs in Canada, has not approved the sale or use of memantine in combination with WBRT to treat this kind of cancer, although they have allowed its use in this study.
This study focuses on treatment outcomes of human metastatic cancer which usually fares with dismal (<5%) survival at 5 years following first diagnosis of a metastasis. However, a subgroup of patients with an initial oligometastatic presentation (i.e. 1-5 clinically detectable lesions) have been reported to respond to complete surgical removal of detectable deposits with up to 20% disease-free survival at 10 years. Patients relapsing with a second oligometastatic presentation respond to a second round of ablation with encouraging rates of 5-year disease free survival. Based on patterns of response to therapy and relapse, we propose investigate on the hypothesis that metastatic disease may be limited in extent, slowly growing and amenable to successive eradication of metastatic deposits. For visible tumor ablation, we propose to employ the effective and safe technique of Single Dose Image-Guided Radiotherapy (SDRT) and to optimize its use in conjunction with systemic therapy. Where SDRT at a full ablative dose (24Gy) is deemed unfeasible, hypofractionated SBRT (9Gy x3) will be offered. Response assessment will be via local control, poly-metastasis-free survival and overall survival rates. Preliminary phase I/II studies indicate remarkable benefits from the SDRT/SBRT in patients with limited metastatic disease. The expected outcomes may be significant conceptual and practical changes in the management of selected metastatic settings resulting in long-term periods of disease-free and overall survival in settings presently associated with dismal prognosis.
Aim of the study is to assess efficacy of a short course radiation treatment in patients with symptomatic brain metastases from solid tumors
Sorafenib is the standard therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with extrahepatic metastasis (EHM). However, addition of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) may be beneficial for controlling intrahepatic tumour. The investigators aimed to compare the efficacy between the sorafenib monotherapy and TACE-sorafenib sequential therapy in HCC patients with EHM.
The phase I component of the study is to identify maximal tolerated dose (MTD). The phase II is to evaluate neurocognitive decline.
