Filter by:This study aims to evaluate the effect of statins combined with conventional chemotherapy and maintenance therapy on the prognosis of ovarian cancer patients, exploring its potential to improve survival rates and quality of life.
The goal of this feasibility trial is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of implementing a brief evidence-based psychotherapeutic intervention, Managing Cancer And Living Meaningfully (CALM), at the time of a new diagnosis and recurrence of ovarian cancer (OC). The main questions are: 1. Is it feasible and acceptable to implement CALM for patients with newly diagnosed or recently recurred advanced OC 2. What are the prevalence and correlates of traumatic stress symptoms at baseline in patients with newly diagnosed or recently recurred advanced OC Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires at baseline and at 3 and 6 months following a diagnosis or recurrence of stage III or IV OC. Participants will also be invited to participate in 3-6 sessions of CALM therapy.
This study was a multicenter, retrospective cohort study. Although advancements in surgical techniques have mitigated the incidence of intestinal anastomotic fistula, complete avoidance remains elusive. Anastomotic leakage (AL) complications directly impinge on postoperative quality of life and pose life-threatening risks if inadequately managed. Given AL's adverse prognostic implications and the financial strain on patients' families, identifying its risk factors aids in perioperative risk assessment, enabling timely clinical decisions on interventions to enhance prognosis and curtail adverse outcomes and economic investments.
Cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide and is responsible for an estimated 9.6 million deaths yearly. Cancer-related deaths can be reduced if patients are diagnosed and treated early. Delay in cancer diagnosis can occur at any point along the diagnostic spectrum, from the first observation of symptoms to the start of treatment. Diagnosing cancer when it is still at an early stage, before it has spread, gives surgery, radiotherapy and other treatments the best chance of working. Therefore, early diagnosis is the most important way to improve cancer outcomes. Most of the cancers usually presents with vague and non-alarming symptoms. Most individuals are diagnosed late when the cancer has already spread, and the prognosis is poor. There are over 200 different types of cancer that can cause many different signs and symptoms. Sometimes symptoms affect specific body areas, such as abdomen or skin. But signs can also be more general, and include weight loss, tiredness (fatigue) or unexplained pain. The type of symptoms varies from person to person. The major reasons for not presenting to the GP with symptoms such as these are "not wanting to waste the GP's time" and normalisation of these symptoms. The persistence of a symptom, social influence and awareness encourage help-seeking behaviours in primary care. However, few believe their symptom(s) might be a sign of cancer. Consequently, people might choose to self-manage their symptoms by using over-the-counter medication, and to seek advice from other sources, (pharmacists, family, internet), rather than a primary care physician. RATIONALE FOR CURRENT STUDY An early cancer diagnosis is essential for receiving treatment as early as possible to have the best chance for successful treatment. Early diagnosis of cancer can be challenging. Sometimes, the cancer symptoms resemble common illnesses and could resolve with the use of over-the-counter medications and other remedies until they become persistent or debilitating. The present study focuses on ten cancer forms: colon, oesophageal, stomach, liver, bladder, uterine, vulval, ovarian, endometrial and pancreatic. Patients diagnosed with the cancers mentioned above often report experiencing vague symptoms (such as abdominal or back pain, indigestion, feeling full etc). They often use over-the-counter medication to manage their symptoms before seeing a doctor. Information about how often and what products participants purchase (e.g. pain killers, digestive products and natural remedies) to care for these symptoms could help identify these cancers a few crucial weeks or months earlier and encourage people to seek help sooner from their doctors.
PURPOSE/AIMS There is no consensus on optimal follow-up after ovarian cancer. A recent study demonstrated eight months prolonged survival in patients with complete surgical resection. Hence, it is crucial to detect relapses early, when the tumor burden is limited. The research group have previously identified a plasma protein panel with high accuracy in detecting ovarian cancer at diagnosis and follow-up. The aim with this feasibility study is to validate the panel for its' capacity to detect early relapse in symptom-free patients in a user-friendly non-invasive way i.e. a home-administered capillary sampling. The results will be the foundation for a forthcoming national prospective randomized trial. METHODS The study is designed as a prospective cohort study including women in the control program after ovarian cancer in Uppsala and Umeå, Sweden. The study participants should have no evidence of disease after primary treatment or after relapse. In addition to standard follow-up, they will be asked to take a capillary home-sample (blood-test from finger) every second month during one year or until relapse. The result of the test will not affect treatment, but solely be used for research purposes. IMPORTANCE The study aims to clarify following issues: 1. Calibration of the risk score in capillary blood samples. 2. Evaluation of the logistics in home-sampling. 3. Evaluation of the acceptability (reasons of drop-out etc.) of home-sampling by structured interviews of a sample of study participants. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The hypothesis behind the study is that more frequent analysis of a protein panel specific for ovarian cancer, will lead to earlier detection of relapse, earlier treatment and a better prognosis. Additionally, in the future the vision is that women may choose between different ways of follow-up depending on individual risk factors, personal preferences and logistic reasons. In the long-term the results of the applicability of home-administered blood sampling from this study can be useful in other patient groups as well.
The goal of this type of clinical trial study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Surufatinib combined with Carboplatin/Paclitaxel and Surufatinib combined with Olaparib as first-line and maintenance therapy for newly diagnosed high-risk ovarian cancer
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and quality of life scores of patients with HER2-expressing platinum-sensitive recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer treated with the combination therapy regimen of RC48 plus platinum with or without bevacizumab.
The goal of this type of clinical trial study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of metabolic remodeling nature killer cells as neoadjuvant therapy in newly diagnosed patients with advanced ovarian cancer
This is a two-part, open-label, multicenter, dose escalation and dose expansion study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PDx), and anti- tumor activity of ETX-19477, a novel reversible small molecule inhibitor of PARG.
The main aim of this study are to check for side effects from TAK-853, check how much TAK-853 participants can receive without getting side effects from it, check how well TAK-853 controls symptoms, and to check how much TAK-853 stays in their blood over time. The study will be conducted in two phases including Phase 1 Part and Phase 2 Part. In Phase 1 Part, the participants will stay in the hospital for 3 days at least after their 1st injection for some tests and to check for any side effects from their treatment. In Phase 2 Part, participants will visit their study hospital for multiple times. In both phases, the participants will receive TAK-853 on the first days of each 3-week cycle. The participant will be in the study for about 9 months in Phase 1 Part and for about 24 months in Phase 2 Part. The study doctors will check for side effects from the study treatments.
