Filter by:The FURTHER study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of MR-HIFU (alone or in combination with EBRT) compared to EBRT alone, the standard-of-care, as a palliative treatment option to relieve CIBP. The FURTHER study consists of a multicenter, three-armed randomized controlled trial (FURTHER RCT) and a patient registry arm (FURTHER Registry), which will be performed in six hospitals in four European countries.
A randomized research study of drugs nivolumab and pembrolizumab in patients with locally advanced or metastatic cancers. Based on data from earlier studies it appears that the drugs can be given less often then the currently approved schedule. This trial will compare drug levels from the blood from standard interval dosing levels versus taking the drugs less often.
This study compares the effectiveness and safety of two radiation treatment techniques for patients with multiple brain metastases.
This study will investigate OC-001 as monotherapy, and in combination with an anti-Programmed Cell Death Protein-1 (PD-1) or anti-Programmed Cell Death Ligand-1 (PD-L1) Antibody inhibitor, in various cancer types
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of art-therapeutic management on a patient with cancer, during chemotherapy treatment, on the reduction of physical or psychological symptoms. Art therapy is a non-drug approach that can help some patients cope with the consequences of cancer beyond the care provided. The common psychosocial difficulties experienced by cancer patients are pain, fatigue, depression, anxiety, drowsiness. In sum, the well-being and quality of life of the patient throughout the illness. The main objective is to evaluate the impact of art therapy, as a supportive care, on improving the well-being felt after a session of cancer treatments (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, ...), during 6 sessions( around 24 days between 2 sessions) , at patients with a cancer pathology using two questionnaires, one on the evaluation of symptoms (ESAS), the other on the quality of life (FACT-G).
Liver is special organ, which can regenerate. On that ability there are many treatment modalities, where liver resection is performed, especially in cancer patients with liver metastases. Liver regeneration provides an opportunity for these patients to undergo multiple treatment regimes and liver resections to achieve curability. There are many factors that impair liver regeneration. One of these factors is chemotherapy. Literature data on impact of chemotherapy to liver regeneration is ambiguous. Therefore we aim to research impact of chemotherapy to liver regeneration.
Radiation therapy has been shown to be very effective at relieving pain caused by bone metastases. However, certain types of cancers such as prostate, breast, kidney, and melanoma can have resistance to radiation, making treatment less successful. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is a newer form of focused treatment that gives higher doses of radiation without damage to surrounding organs. It often is used to help control and cure disease, but less commonly as a way to palliate and treat symptoms. This study is looking at using SBRT for the purposes of improving pain caused by bone metastases in prostate cancer, breast cancer, kidney cancer, and melanoma patients. It is theorized that the higher levels of radiation may be able to combat the resistance some tumour cells have to radiotherapy and provide improved pain response to treatment. The investigators are looking to show that SBRT has a role in helping this group of patients deal with painful bone lesions from their cancer without increasing side effects and toxicity from the radiation treatment.
To evaluate if the addition of liver transplantation primarily utilizing liver grafts from extended criteria donors not utilized for approved indications to conventional treatment of non-resectable/ non-abatable colorectal liver metastases (CLM) increases overall survival compared to best alternative care.
This study is being done for the following reasons: The study has two parts. The purpose of the first part (Phase I) of the study is to find out the highest dose of Afatinib that can be given safely with T-DM1. The purpose of the second part of the study (Phase II) is to find out whether the dose of Afatinib with T-DM1 determined in Phase I will keep breast cancer from getting worse for a period of time.
This study will collect data on Canadian cancer patients that have uncommon/rare changes in their tumours, such as alterations/rearrangements in the genetic material inside cells - known as deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, which acts as a map and gives directions to the cells on how to make other substances the body needs - because some of these changes have been found to respond to different drugs that help to stop the cancer. These rare changes occur in genes such as but not limited to ALK, EGFR, ROS1, BRAF, and NTRK which have targeted drugs in a family known as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), and KRAS G12C mutation, which now has a targeted inhibitor drug therapy for patients with non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The goals for the study are to compare the natural history of such cancers and the treatment outcomes, including toxicities and patient-reported outcomes, for the different therapies.
