Filter by:This is a prospective, twin-center, cohort study in patients discharged from the hospital after major abdominal or pelvic cancer surgery for cancer. This study is designed to evaluate the adherence to extended deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis (DVT) with the direct oral anticoagulant apixaban on the background of historical data from the investigator's center on low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) substandard adherence in the same setting.
This is a phase 1, open-label, multicenter dose-escalation study to determine the RP2D of CI 8993 for administration to patients with relapsed/refractory solid tumors by evaluating the safety and tolerability and characterizing the PK, PD, and anti cancer activity of CI-8993 in this population.
Major depression (MD) is a psychiatric disorder characterized by a persistent feeling of sadness, anhedonia or a decreased perception of pleasurable experiences, as well as appetite alterations and weight variations, sleep disorders, altered psychomotor skills, fatigue, guilt, decreased self-worth, suicidal thoughts and difficulty concentrating in a task (1). MD is a frequent complication in patients who are diagnosed with advanced cancer.
By using the M.A.D.I.T. methodology and the Dialogics science, SALVO Project aims to develop operational guidelines to support oncological target patients in the resumption of their daily post-operative activities. The research will implement an instrument for the purpose of measuring the health need of participants who are admitted to the surgical ward. Therefore, targeted interventions will be implemented with participants, and efficacy will be evaluated in order to define treatment guidelines. The principal aim of this study is to create a validated and replicable intervention model for supporting patients who undergone surgery for esophagus and gastro intestinal cancer.
This phase 3 study is aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of YPEG-rhG-CSF in reducing the infection manifested by febrile neutropenia in patients with non-myeloid malignancy who receiving Myelosuppressive Chemotherapy which is likely to cause clinically significant febrile neutropenia.
This project will evaluate the benefit of an automated home symptom monitoring system, Symptom Care at Home, to track COVID-19 symptoms, provide instructions to reduce COVID-19 exposure, and reduce cancer symptom severity during the COVID-19 pandemic. The investigators will determine if Symptom Care at Home decreases the need for cancer patients to use emergency departments and hospitalization for cancer symptom care. The project addresses the urgent public health need for cancer patients to reduce their risk for COVID-19 exposure.
This is a phase I, open-label study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics(PK) and anti-tumour activity of adavosertib in Japanese patients with advanced solid tumours. This study consists of 2 parts, monotherapy (part A) and chemotherapy combination (part B). At least 3, or up to 6, evaluable Japanese patients with advanced solid tumours will be enrolled in each cohort to confirm the tolerability.
The primary objective of the study was to assess investigate the pharmacokinetic effects of Apatinib Mesylate on CYP2C8 Substrate Repaglinide or CYP2B6 Substrate Bupropion and metabolite Hydroxy bupropion in Advanced solid tumor subjects. The secondary objective of the study was to assess the safety of Apatinib or/and Repaglinide and Bupropion.
Parenteral nutrition (PN) treatment in patients with incurable cancer is understudied and the level of evidence for clinical meaningful effects is weak. Guidelines give few specific recommendations regarding which patients with incurable cancer that should be offered PN treatment. According to the Norwegian prescription database, the use of parenteral nutrition has more than doubled in the period 2004-2015. These numbers do not separate between diagnoses and medical conditions, so the current use of medical nutrition in cancer patients in Norway is not known. The decision to initiate parenteral nutrition is taken at hospitals, whereupon the patient returns home to their respective municipalities and receives follow-up by the home care service. There are often uncertainties about the duration of treatment, as patients' clinical condition can change rapidly. One major challenge health care professionals face is to decide when to end medical nutrition therapy. Patients and relatives may experience fear that discontinuation of medical nutrition accelerates death, while health care professionals often experience that nutrition in many cases does not help and inflicts negatively on patients' condition. This makes communication concerning end of nutritional treatment between health care professionals at several health care levels, patients and their relatives challenging. There is a need for a stronger evidence base considering the effect of medical nutrition in patients with incurable cancer. To be able to study the effect of PN treatment, more studies on clinical practice of PN treatment to patients with incurable cancer is needed. Aspects like indication for use, dosage and duration of PN treatment is poorly described in the available literature. Thus, the aim of this study is to describe indications for use of PN, duration of treatment, reasons for discontinuation, method of administration, possible benefits and complications as well as survival.
A disposable endoscopy system (NCKU-scope-01) was developed for the evaluation of bile duct stone or neoplasm. This system consists of a camera, light sources, a working channel, and a water injection channel. The endoscope could be inserted into the common bile duct via the working channel of a commercial duodenoscope. This study aims to test the feasibility and safety of this system. The efficacy of stone and neoplasm diagnosis will also be analyzed.
