Filter by:This study will determine whether Synergo® RITE + MMC treatment is efficacious as second-line therapy for CIS NMIBC BCG-unresponsive patients with or without papillary NMIBC, through examination of the complete response rate (CRR) and disease-free duration for complete responders. The study will also explore progression-free survival time, bladder preservation rate, and overall survival time. The study will address an unmet need to identify a treatment effective in both ablating the disease and providing a prolonged disease-free period for patients. Ideally, the treatment will delay progression to invasive disease, thus preserving the bladder.
HS-196 is near infrared red (NIR)-tethered HSP90 inhibitor for clinical imaging of selective tumor binding. HS-196 consists of a HSP90 inhibitor that binds competitively to the Hsp90 ATP binding domain connected by a linker to a contrast agent (near infrared (NIR) dye) that can be used for imaging. HS-196 can freely enter tumor cells to selectively bind Hsp90. Due to the the NIR dye, HS-196 accumulation in the malignant cells allows for specific visualization of tumors within the body.
The primary objectives of this study are to determine the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of PAC-1 in combination with temozolomide in patients with high grade glioma: glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) or anaplastic astrocytoma after progression following standard first line therapy (Component 2), by evaluation of toxicity and tolerability.
Avelumab in combination with talazoparib will be investigated in patients with locally advanced (primary or recurrent) or metastatic solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), hormone receptor positive (HR+) breast cancer, recurrent platinum sensitive ovarian cancer, urothelial cancer (UC), and castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).
Reflexion on the therapeutic strategies to implement in patients at the end of life is advancing rapidly in France. However, beyond the choices presented to patients, sometimes even the decision to carry on, to limit or to stop treatments is also questioned. This decision is subjective; it is influenced by the patient's representation system (emotions, beliefs, values, practices, etc). In addition, even though he or she is the focus of the decision, the patient is not alone; other actors, accompanying the patient, play an important role in the final decision making. These actors, namely the doctors and close relatives, are also influenced in their decision making. This coexistence of representation systems may interfere with objective indicators that help in decision making (functional, clinical and biological) or with the knowledge acquired by doctors in their training and may complicate the decision-making process.
This clinical study will assess the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of mRNA-2416 alone and in combination with administered fixed doses of durvalumab in participants with relapsed/refractory solid tumor malignancies or lymphoma, as well as the objective response rate (ORR) of mRNA-2416 alone or in combination with durvalumab in ovarian cancer based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. The applicable dose of mRNA-2416 will be injected directly into the participant's tumor (intratumoral) and the applicable dose of durvalumab will be administered intravenously.
It has been well established that malignant tumors tend to have low levels of oxygen and that tumors with very low levels of oxygen are more resistant to radiotherapy and other treatments, such as chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Previous attempts to improve response to therapy by increasing the oxygen level of tissues have had disappointing results and collectively have not led to changing clinical practice. Without a method to measure oxygen levels in tumors or the ability to monitor over time whether tumors are responding to methods to increase oxygen during therapy, clinician's reluctance to use oxygen therapy in usual practice is not surprising. The hypothesis underlying this research is that repeated measurements of tissue oxygen levels can be used to optimize cancer therapy, including combined therapy, and to minimize normal tissue side effects or complications. Because studies have found that tumors vary both in their initial levels of oxygen and exhibit changing patterns during growth and treatment, we propose to monitor oxygen levels in tumors and their responsiveness to hyperoxygenation procedures. Such knowledge about oxygen levels in tumor tissues and their responsiveness to hyper-oxygenation could potentially be used to select subjects for particular types of treatment, or otherwise to adjust routine care for patients known to have hypoxic but unresponsive tumors in order to improve their outcomes. The overall objectives of this study are to establish the clinical feasibility and efficacy of using in vivo electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) oximetry—a technique related to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)—to obtain direct and repeated measurements of clinically useful information about tumor tissue oxygenation in specific groups of subjects with the same types of tumors, and to establish the clinical feasibility and efficacy of using inhalation of enriched oxygen to gain additional clinically useful information about responsiveness of tumors to hyper-oxygenation. Two devices are used: a paramagnetic charcoal suspension (Carlo Erba India ink) and in vivo EPR oximetry to assess oxygen levels. The ink is injected and becomes permanent in the tissue at the site of injection unless removed; thereafter, the in vivo oximetry measurements are noninvasive and can be repeated indefinitely.
The aim of this study is to test whether a short educational intervention about emotional skills can improve survivor cancer patient emotional skills and quality of life. Half of participants will follow the educational intervention about emotional skills, while the other half will practice relaxation followed by a non-directive talking group. The educational intervention should give better results on patient emotional skills and quality of life than the control group.
The purpose of this trial was to explore the clinical utility of two investigational agents in patients with advanced cancer. This was a multi-center, open-label Phase I/Ib study. The primary objectives of the trial were: - To characterize the safety and tolerability of intratumoral LHC165 in patients with solid tumors as a single agent and in combination with PDR001 - To determine and evaluate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended dose (RD) for LHC165 as a single agent and in combination with PDR001
The increasingly used oral anticancer treatments allow the patient to reduce treatment and social constraints to reduce hospitalization costs. The counterpart is a decrease in the monitoring of the correct intake of drugs and the detection of side effects. These two risks are major in the elderly, due to comorbidities, poly-medication and decreased attention. The project objective to evaluate the impact of a bi-weekly nursing visit to the patients' homes for 3 months, compared to a conventional management without a nursing visit. It is a prospective, randomized, controlled, multicenter study to include 224 patients over 18 months. The impact will be assessed by counting the tablets not taken and by filling an observation booklet with the nurse at home.
