Filter by:The goal of this no-profit, multicenter, biological, non-pharmacologic study is to evaluate minimal residual disease (MRD) in patients treated with Azacitidine and Venetoclax according to clinical practice. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. kinetics of disease response on treatment with Azacitidine and Venetoclax through the evaluation of MRD with both cytofluorimetric and molecular techniques 2. impact of MRD on survival outcomes. To this end, bone marrow samples will be collected at pre-defined time-points during treatment and MRD will be assessed.
To find out if combining pembrolizumab, bevacizumab (or an equivalent biosimilar drug), and low-dose cyclophosphamide can help control high-grade ovarian cancer that has MRD after treatment. The safety of this treatment combination will also be studied.
Approximately two-thirds of all colorectal cancer patients undergo surgery with the aim of curing them. However, despite the surgery, 20-25% of them experience relapse. It is possible to reduce the risk of relapse with chemotherapy, but as chemotherapy is associated with significant side effects, it is only given to patients at high risk of relapse. Currently, the risk is assessed based on an examination of the removed tumor tissue. In a previous research project, blood samples were taken after patients' surgery and examined for the presence of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). When cancer cells in solid tumors die, they release DNA, which can be detected in the blood. DNA in the blood has a half-life of less than 2 hours, so if ctDNA is found in a blood sample taken, e.g., 14 days after surgery, the patient most likely still has cancer cells in their body. The results show that if a patient has ctDNA in their blood after surgery, the risk of relapse is high. The presence of ctDNA in the blood has the potential to be a better indicator of the risk of future relapse than the tumor examination used today. Therefore, ctDNA analysis has the potential to become a marker that will be used in the future clinical setting for monitoring colorectal cancer. The overall objective of this study is to confirm that ctDNA found in a blood sample after intended curative treatment for CRC is a marker of residual disease and risk of recurrence and is applicable in clinical practice.
acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a malignant tumor of the hematopoietic system with high heterogeneity in cytogenetics and molecular biology.Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is still the primary treatment option for patients with AML and the most effective method for radical treatment of AML.Despite considerable progress in allo-HSCT over the past decade, 30%-40% of patients still relapse, and post-transplant relapse remains the leading cause of death in patients with AML.
A study on the Effectiveness of digital droplet PCR in monitoring measurable residual disease during the early period after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation to predict patients at high risk of relapse
This is a phase 1, first-in-human (FIH), open-label, multicohort study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of iPSC NK cells in patients with relapsed/refractory AML or AML Minimal Residual Disease (MRD).
The purpose of this study is to study the performance of MRD monitoring in predicting the efficacy and prognosis of neoadjuvant therapy in patients with rectal cancer, and to explore the value of MRD detection in evaluating the prognosis of patients. In this prospective study, 50 patients with stage II-III rectal cancer who are planing to receive neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy will be enrolled. The tumor tissue will be collected by colonoscopy before treatment and blood samples will be collected before treatment and during treatment.The whole blood samples will receive MRD detection. The change rate and clearance rate of MRD during treatment will be calculated, and will be associated with imaging efficacy evaluation, pathological efficacy evaluation,and prognosis, to determine the performance of MRD in predicting and judging the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and postoperative recurrence of rectal cancer.
In this project, the investigators intend to start a prospective registry for patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia-negative ALL from 16 years old and above in participating centers, provided that all patients will be treated with the same regimen (a pediatric regimen BFM-based incorporating peg-asparaginase). All diagnostic/follow-up (after induction and consolidation blocks) samples will be centrally biobanked at Instituto do Cancer do Estado de Sao Paulo. The main goal of this study is to examine whether the implementation of a pediatric protocol under a prospective registry can increase event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) of newly diagnosed patients in the participating centers.
Evaluation of impact of use of 3D ultrasound in brain tumor surgery on extend of resection. Benefit for surgery, neurological outcome, accuracy and image quality are secondary outcome parameters. Control group is a retrospective matched pair cohort.
This trial aims to assess changes in minimal residual disease (MRD) status before and after radical concurrent chemoradiotherapy combined with immunotherapy and adjuvant immunotherapy after neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy in patients with inoperable stage II-III esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC), and correlate with the efficacy of adjuvant immunotherapy.
