Filter by:The purpose of this study is to find out whether the study drug, LY4052031, is safe, tolerable and effective in participants with advanced, or metastatic solid tumors including urothelial cancer. The study is conducted in two parts - phase Ia (dose-escalation, dose-optimization) and phase Ib (dose-expansion). The study will last up to approximately 4 years.
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is largely heterogeneous. We sought to develop and validate a signature to precisely predict chemotherapy sensitivity in PDAC. Genetic events of the four most commonly mutated genes in PDAC and expressions of 12 PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway markers were examined in consecutive patients with PDAC. A 9-feature signature for prediction of chemotherapy benefits was constructed using the LASSO Cox regression model, and validated in two independent cohorts.
This is a prospective case-control study, aiming at developing a cell free DNA (cfDNA) multi-omics precise diagnostic model for screening of pancreatic cancer.
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.
This research constitutes a multi-centric, case-control designed investigation aimed at developing and implementing a blinded validation of a machine learning-powered, multi-cancer early detection model. This is to be achieved through the prospective collection of blood specimens from newly diagnosed cancer patients and individuals devoid of a confirmed cancer diagnosis
At present, radiopharmaceuticals targeting FAP have been developed for the diagnosis and treatment of various tumors. Considering the problems of fast tumor tissue clearance and short retention time in small molecule FAP inhibitors based on quinoline rings, this project optimized their ligands and developed a new FAP targeted technetium labeled molecular imaging probe for SPECT/CT imaging research to evaluate its safety in clinical application and its effectiveness in tumor diagnosis.
Patients with advanced colorectal cancer or pancreatic cancer who are receiving oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy will be included. The research participants in this study will consume probiotics along with safety and anti-cancer agent side effect-related questionnaires, blood, and fecal sample collection for up to 12 weeks from the date of registration. The total duration of participation for research subjects is 12 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to assess surgical conversion rate and the immediate and long-term outcomes to patients who receive hypofractionated radiotherapy and AG combined with camrelizumab immunotherapy of locally advanced pancreatic cancer.
In the case of large tumors or tumors closely adjacent to organs at risk, ablative doses offered by stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) could not be delivered. Therefore, a technique that could provide high radiation doses to tumors without increasing of risks of severe adverse effects is required.
In this trial, we aim to compare the outcomes of adjuvant chemoradiotherapy with chemotherapy for patients with resected pancreatic cancer who are at high risk of disease progressions.
