Filter by:Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is the second leading cause of death in patients with cancer, after disease progression. VTE is increasingly recognized as a complication in patients with hematologic malignancies and various studies have reported high rates of VTE. Critically ill patients are at high risk of VTE and should all receive thromboprophylaxis. Given the increasing number of patients with HM (hematologic malignancies) / HCT (Hematopoietic cell transplantation) who develop critical illness, and their often prolonged course, it is imperative to understand the incidence and risk factors for VTE, and to evaluate the efficacy and risks associated with both chemical and mechanical thromboprophylaxis Therefore, the investigators plan to evaluate retrospectively the VTE / PE (pulmonary embolism) incidence in HM /HCT patients at the University of Toronto, and the complications associated with it (including death). In addition, the investigators want to evaluate the use, type (mechanical or pharmacological) and timing of thromboprophylaxis. And lastly, the investigators will determine the incidence of bleeding and of complications associated with chemical and mechanical thromboprophylaxis. The investigators will describe the change in VTE incidence over the last 10 years. The investigators know that patients with COVID-19 infection are at higher risk of thrombosis than non-COVID patients. As such, HM/HCT COVID-19 pts will comprise a subgroup, which will be compared with patients who are not not positive for COVID-19. If these numbers are low, COVID-19 status will be included as a predictive variable in our modelling. The results of this research program will help define indications and safety of VTE prophylaxis; and will inform the development of clinical practice guidelines.
This study is an open-label, phase I clinical trial of SHR-A2009 in patients with advanced solid tumors. The whole study is divided into three stages: dose escalation, dose expansion and efficacy expansion.
This phase I, first-in-human, open-label clinical study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic characteristics and preliminary efficacy of HLX53 (an anti-TIGIT Fc fusion protein) in patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumors.
Prospective observational feasibility study to evaluate the role of wearable activity monitors to determine the feasibility and acceptability of remote monitoring using wearable technology and PROs to monitor fatigue and physical function in transgender cancer patients and survivors.
This is an open-label, Phase 1, 2-part trial to determine recommended phase 2 doses (RP2Ds) and evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic profiles of AGEN1571 both as a monotherapy and in combination with balstilimab (PD-1 inhibitor) and/or botensilimab (2-agent combination or 3-agent combination) in participants diagnosed with advanced solid tumors. Part 1 will be the dose escalation phase to determine the RP2D of AGEN1571 monotherapy or AGEN1571 in combination with balstilimab and/or botensilimab. Part 2 will be the dose expansion phase for specific disease indications. Participants will receive study treatment for up to 2 years, or until any disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or participant wishes to withdraw consent for any reason.
Digital single-operator cholangioscopy (DSOC) has emerged as a medical advance with an important role in the evaluation of indeterminate biliary lesions. This technique has demonstrated higher sensitivity in the guidance for tissue acquisition when compared with standard endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). DSOC-guided biopsy is considered technically safe and successful for tissue collection. Hand in hand with the development of more precise diagnostic techniques, comes the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) for diagnostic assessment. For the past decade, the role of artificial intelligence (AI) has been increasing at a rapid pace. In the biliary tract, different models have been proposed for the characterization of malignant features. Nevertheless, to date, the discrepancy between the visual impression of the operator and the histological results obtained by cholangioscopy still present, affecting the accuracy the diagnosis. Based on the above, the investigators aim to assess the diagnostic accuracy of AI for the guidance of tissue acquisition with DSOC compared to DSOC without AI for suspected cholangiocarcinoma. As a secondary aim, the investigators pursue to compare quality of AI-guided biopsies samples vs. DSOC biopsies without AI.
Fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is a highly prevalent, disruptive, and under-treated problem for breast cancer survivors. This randomized controlled trial will test the efficacy of group-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy compared to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and enhanced usual care for breast cancer survivors suffering from FCR while examining its cost-effectiveness and the mechanisms by which the intervention may work. Study findings will guide the future care of breast cancer survivors with FCR.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and exploratory dose response of paltusotine treatment in subjects with carcinoid syndrome. This study consists of a Randomized Treatment Phase followed by an Open-Label Extension (OLE) Phase.
This pilot study is being conducted to treat patients who have a certain type of malignancy (lymphoid or myeloid) with immune effector cells after a T-cell depleted allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (TCD HSCT). This study is designed to see whether an investigational cellular product of immune cells obtained from a donor's cells that have been treated so that the type of cells that can lead to graft vs host disease have been removed can be safely administered. These cell products are administered following the initial stem cell transplant to assess the effect and improvement on minimal residual disease status, infectious complication, progression-free and overall survival.
This phase 2 clinical trial will study the effectiveness of nirogacestat in ovarian granulosa cell tumors (OvGCTs). Nirogacestat is a gamma secretase inhibitor (GSI) which is hypothesized to decrease the growth and activity of ovarian granulosa tumors.
