Filter by:Tyrosine Kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have become standard of care in patients with EGFR mutations in non-small cell lung cancer and other EGFR-mutated cancers. However, TKIs are well-known to cause cutaneous adverse events, including acneiform eruptions. Moderate to severe acneiform eruptions are often associated with severe pruritus and pain. Current treatment recommendations rely on expert consensus. Moderate and severe reactions requiring systemic therapy, usually tetracycline antibiotics or isotretinoin. No randomized trial has compared the relative effectiveness of tetracyclines versus isotretinoin. The objective of this unblinded, randomized trial is to compare tetracyclines to isotretinoin for treatment of moderate to severe acneiform eruptions in cancer patients on tyrosine kinase inhibitors. The primary aim of this clinical trial is to elucidate which systemic treatment is more effective in clearing acneiform eruptions caused by TKIs. The results of this study will add to the literature in this field and will aid in developing evidence based clinical guidelines.
The management of liver metastases in neuroendocrine neoplasms is challenging. Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy with radiolabeled somatostatin analogs (SSA) is one of the most promising therapeutic options. As liver is the most frequent site of metastatic disease, our project proposes to compare administration of radiolabeled SSA by arterial intrahepatic infusion (experimental approach) vs intravenous administration (conventional). Evaluation will be made by (i) comparing 68Ga-DOTA-peptides uptake after intra-hepatic versus intravenous route (imaging), (ii) by evaluating the safety of an additional intra-hepatic administration of therapeutic radiolabeled SSA (therapy).
Clinical Efficacy and Safety of EGFR-TKI Combined With Nimotuzumab in the Treatment of Leptomeningeal Metastases From Lung Cancer.
This study is being done to determine the feasibility and tolerability of a novel regimen of spine stereotactic radiosurgery (SSRS). SSRS delivers high doses of radiation to tumors of the spine using precision techniques. In standard medical care, conventional SSRS is delivered in only 1 or 2 treatments. When this treatment is delivered in only 1-2 treatments, a high dose is used which can increase the side effects of treatment. This study aims to test an alternative technique of delivering SSRS over 5 treatments. By delivering the radiation therapy over multiple treatments, the dose of radiation is less per treatment.
Early monitoring of antineoplastic treatment benefit is a central medical need. Radiologic assessment for documentation of response is done after several months of treatment usually. This implies that patients not responding are exposed to unnecessary toxicity. According to several reports showing the correlation of the amount of circulating tumour DNA with tumour burden we aim to investigate its early dynamic change at the beginning and during antineoplastic treament until radiologic response assessment. Blood samples necessary for that are taken within the scope of clinical routine care. We hypothesize that the changes of circulating tumour DNA correlate with the radiological findings.
Almonertinib is a three-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor(EGFR-TKI), which has shown competitive potential in the second-line treatment against first-generation TKIs. This study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of different doses of almonertinib in the first-line and second-line treatment of brain metastases/meningeal metastases in NSCLC patients.
In the context of malignant disease, it is likely that vaccine efficacy and immunogenicity depends on the type of pathology, stage of the disease, immunosuppression induced by the treatments, in addition to more classic factors such as age, general condition and possibly the type of vaccine used. There are very little data on the efficacy and immunogenicity of anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines in patients with malignant disease in the active phase of treatment. This multicenter observational study aims to assess the efficacy and the immunogenicity of anti-Sars-CoV-2 vaccines in the cohort of patients treated for malignant pathology (solid or hematological tumors) at Saint Louis Hospital and in thoracic oncology patients at Bichat Hospital.
The therapeutic regimens of adjuvant and neoadjuvant chemotherapy for colorectal cancer (CRC) remain largely relied on clinical experience, and thus preclinical models are needed to guide individualized medicine. The investigators are going to establish 3D bioprinted CRC models and organoids from surgically resected tumor tissues of CRC patients with or without liver metastases. In vitro 3D models and organoids will be treated with the same chemotherapy drugs with the corresponding patients from whom the models are derived. The sensitivity of chemotherapy drugs will be tested in these two types of in vitro models, and the actual response to chemotherapy in patients will be evaluated. The predictive ability of 3D models for chemotherapy sensitivity in CRC patients will be compared with that of the organoids. This observational study will validate the potential value of 3D bioprinted tumor models in predicting the response to chemotherapy in CRC.
The treatment proposed in this trial is to administer intra-arterial chemotherapy to liver metastases from colorectal cancer when the blood flow to and from the liver has been isolated via balloon catheters through a vascular access system called the AVAS. The objective of this study is to evaluate the tumour response of repeated and isolated intra-arterial liver isolation oxaliplatin compared with the standard systemic chemotherapy (intravenous 5-FU + leucovorin + oxaliplatin [FOLFOX] or oral capecitabine with IV oxaliplatin [XELOX]).
Stereotactic radiation therapy is an important and common method of treating brain metastases in patients with malignant disease. Today, however, there are no methods available to determine the metastasis' radiation sensitivity in advance and treatment responses can only be seen by changing of the size of the metastasis on conventional X-ray examinations, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Changes in the size of the metastases is something that is often seen weeks / months after treatment is completed. At Lund University Hospital, a new imaging technique, diffusional variance decomposition (DIVIDE), has now been developed. With this technique, the scatter in isotropic and anisotropic diffusion can be measured for each measuring point, which provides significantly more information about the properties of the tissue compared to current methods.
