Filter by:The study comprises a Phase I component during which the optimal dose of DCVax-Direct for the treatment of solid tissue tumors will be identified, followed by a Phase II component to determine if the injection of DCVax-Direct into selected solid tissue tumors has the ability to reduce tumor growth.
The incidence risk of colorectal cancer （CRC） is increasing at 4.2% year by year in China. Most effective way to reduce the death rate of CRC patients is to diagnose in quite an early stage. QiaoKou District is a chemical industry Zone of Wuhan with a long history, which has few data of CRC epidemiology. The investigators design the primary CRC screening for this district by healthy questionnaire, Fecal Occult Blood Test(FOBT) and colonoscopy. HanYang Areo has been chosen as Control for its non-industry environment.The crowd would be screen biennially. The high risk group would be intervened, such as resection of polyps or other specific treatment. A follow-up registration database has been built for analysis the relationship between incidence or death rate to high risk factors, such as age, life environment, lifestyles, base diseases and family history of cancer. This study will provide some epidemiology dates of CRC to the local Government, and assist the governor to built a more effective screening system of CRC.
The long-term results of several large-scale prospective randomized trials that compared laparoscopic-assisted and open colectomy for colon cancer were published in the past decade. The oncologic outcomes were nearly similar in patients who underwent laparoscopic or open surgery. In Japan, the Japan Clinical Oncology Group (JCOG) conducted a randomized trial to compare oncological outcomes between patients who underwent laparoscopic or open surgery for advanced colon cancer and recto-sigmoid cancer. However, the exclusion criterion were concerning tumor site in transverse and descending colon. The reason of exclusion was that laparoscopic procedure was difficult in transverse and descending colon cancers. However, laparoscopic surgery for transverse and descending colon cancer was performed clinically. We conducted a randomized trial that compared laparoscopic surgery and conventional open surgery in in transverse and descending colon cancer. The purpose of the present study was to clarify the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic surgery on in transverse and descending colon cancer patients.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well pazopanib hydrochloride works in treating patients with carcinoid tumors that are growing, spreading, or getting worse. Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
The investigators conducted a trial to determine whether methotrexate or methotrexate/dactinomycin single-course treatment work well as multiple courses of single methotrexate chemotherapy in low-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. It is not yet known whether single-course of chemotherapy is as the same effectiveness as multicourse.
This is the first randomized trial comparing Early post-operative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (EPIC) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for appendiceal and colorectal cancer. The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, EPIC and HIPEC after cytoreductive surgery have on the patient and the appendiceal, rectal or colon cancer.
In this trial, we aim to improve the outcomes of haplo cord transplant. Haplo cord transplant is a novel and promising way to improve transplant outcomes. We hypothesize that identification of a graft that is at least 5/6 matched and inherited paternal antigen (IPA) targeted (i.e., cord blood grafts share one or more IPA antigens with the prospective recipient) is more important to the outcome of haplo cord transplant than the nucleated cell dose. The identification of such a graft for a large proportion of the subjects may necessitate accepting a lower umbilical cord graft dose. In addition to a umbilical cord blood transplant, recipients will receive stem cells from a family member ( a haplo-identical donor) . After collection and prior to infusion, these cells will be purified using a device called a CliniMACS CD34 selection device. The subject will undergo a chemotherapy conditioning regimen prior to transplantation. No experimental drugs are used in this study, and the combinations of drugs that will be used in the conditioning regimen are combinations that have been used in the past.
This clinical trial studies reproductive health program in patients with cancer. A reproductive health program may improve patients' understanding of reproductive risks and receipt of appropriate treatment to achieve their reproductive health goals.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of vemurafenib when given together with cetuximab and irinotecan hydrochloride in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other parts of the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Vemurafenib and irinotecan hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving vemurafenib with cetuximab and irinotecan hydrochloride may be a better treatment for solid tumors.
RATIONALE: It is not yet known whether extreme hypofractionation is equally safe and effective than standard radiation therapy in treating prostate cancer. PURPOSE: This protocol presents a randomised phase II study aiming to investigate the tolerance and disease control of extreme hypofractionated Radiation Therapy for prostate cancer.
