Filter by:TScan Therapeutics is developing cellular therapies across multiple solid tumors in which autologous participant-derived T cells are engineered to express a T cell receptor that recognizes cancer-associated antigens presented on specific Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) molecules. This is a multi-center, non-randomized, multi-arm, open-label, basket study evaluating the safety and preliminary efficacy of single and repeat dose regimens of TCR'Ts as monotherapies and as T-Plex combinations after lymphodepleting chemotherapy in participants with locally advanced, metastatic solid tumors disease.
Extranodal extension (ENE) refers to the spread of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) outside the lymph nodes. It is a well-known factor that indicates a poorer prognosis and outcome for patients who have undergone surgical removal of the cancer. In such cases, it is recommended to combine chemotherapy with radiation therapy after surgery. As the number of cases of HNSCC related to the human papillomavirus (HPV) is increasing, treatment approaches have shifted towards using radiation therapy as the primary treatment method instead of surgery. This raises an important question about the significance of ENE observed through imaging tests (referred to as iENE) and its impact on the prognosis. Unfortunately, this question remains unanswered. The objective of this project is to conduct a comprehensive study across multiple medical institutions. The investigators will gather data including scan results, histopathology reports, and data from patient charts from individuals who have been treated for head and neck cancer. The aim is to analyze and correlate the findings between the pathological evidence of ENE and the imaging results, while also assessing the prognostic value of iENE. Additionally, the investigators will explore the influence of HPV status on these factors. By collecting and analyzing this data, the investigators hope to establish standardized criteria that can assist radiologists in accurately identifying ENE through imaging tests. This research is essential for enhancing our understanding of HNSCC and improving the effectiveness of diagnostic procedures and treatment planning.
Based on the evidence summarized in the introduction, the clinician hypothesize that the detection of the presence and expression of HPV-DNA, certain miRNAs, and a certain mutational profile in the tissues and biological fluids of these patients, may have important prognostic and diagnostic value not only in HPV-related OPSCCs but also in HPV+ occult T. Accordingly, this study aims to aim to better characterize their potential as biomarkers and to detect the possibility of their their use to implement the sensitivity and specificity of radiological methodologies (PET-CT and MRI), already in use in clinical practice, for monitoring disease progression in this specific subgroup. Finally, by using the collected material to generate organoids and Patient Derived Xenograft (PDX), the study also aims to identify possible new molecular drugs, which could solve the problem of resistance to radiochemotherapy.
HPV infection can lead to cancer, especially when precancerous lesions have developed and high-risk HPV is present. Glizigen is an oral and intravaginal treatment based on activated glycyrrhizinic acid that has shown potential benefit in patients with HPV. In order to improve the existing evidence, the present study consists of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-compared clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of combined treatment with Glizigen Oral Solution and Glizigen Vaginal Gel for the resolution of biopsy-confirmed grade 1 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN-1) in patients with high-risk HPV.
The purpose of this study is to gain information about intravaginal practices, like intravaginal "twalet deba", among Haitian women living in South Florida. Intravaginal "twalet deba" may include douching, cleaning inside the vagina with different kinds of products, or using steam/vapor that enter the vagina. The investigators want to help learn the best way to increase early detection and/or prevention for cervical cancer. The investigators would like to know what plants, herbs, commercial products and medicines are used in these practices, how these products are prepared, applied, why these products are used, and how these products affect the vagina and cervix.
The purpose of this study is to better understand the natural history of oropharyngeal carcinoma (OPC), with or without an association with the human papilloma virus (HPV). For this study, the investigators plan to collect blood from OPC patients prior to treatment and at six subsequent time points.
The goal of this study is to develop and test an intervention program to improve cervical cancer prevention among Muslim American women. The main questions the investigators aim to answer are: - Will the religiously tailored and culturally appropriate intervention program improve participants' knowledge and acceptance of cervical cancer prevention? - Is the intervention program feasible to conduct and acceptable to participants? Participants will be asked to: - Attend focus group sessions to provide input on the development of educational materials. - Complete pre- and post-intervention surveys to measure changes in knowledge and acceptance of cervical cancer prevention. - Engage in the intervention program, which includes education and experiential practice/communication skills training. - Provide feedback through satisfaction surveys. Researchers will compare participant outcomes before and after the intervention to assess its effectiveness. Additionally, the program's feasibility and acceptability will be evaluated based on enrollment rates, successful implementation, participant engagement, retention, and satisfaction.
The purpose of this research is to determine whether it is feasible to treat patients with Human Papilloma Virus positive (HPV-positive) oropharyngeal tumors on a specialized treatment machine (MRIdian linear accelerator [Linac]), which utilizes magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for radiation planning and delivery.
Asian American (AA) females are disproportionately affected by cervical cancer. Among AA subgroups, Korean American (KA) females had higher risks of developing cervical cancer and rates of cervical cancer mortality compared to white females (11.9, 7.1 per 100,000, respectively). Despite that HPV vaccines have shown to be efficacious in preventing cancers and are recommended for routine vaccinations for youth at age 11 or 12 years, AA females aged 9-17 years have significantly lower HPV vaccine initiation (12.4% vs 27.2%) and completion (1.9% vs 10.3%) rates compared with all other race/ethnicities combined. Using culturally grounded narratives/stories incorporating culture-specific beliefs and practices for health behavior change is effective to mitigate health disparities, specifically for Asian Americans. Storytelling, a specific form of cultural narrative, is showing promise as an effective method of facilitating healthy behaviors through promoting a sense of identification with stories and characters, and transportation (i.e., emotional engagement) as defined in the Model of Narrative as Culture-Centric Health Promotion. We propose to use a digital storytelling approach to gather in-person stories from KA immigrant mothers about HPV vaccination of their children for our intervention.
This is a retrospective cross-sectional study involving the analysis of Cancer Registry Data. As part of this study, cancer registration data collated by the National Cancer Registration and Analysis Service (NCRAS; the national cancer registry in England), via NHS Digital data access request service (DARS), will be analysed on all female patients aged between 25-90+ years in England with a registered diagnosis of anal and vaginal and/or vulvar and/or cervical cancer and/or high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) between 2001 and 2019. For these patients information on age at diagnosis, ethnicity, deprivation, performance status, stage of the cancer at diagnosis, the date of each diagnosis, the treatment received for the diagnosis and the route to diagnosis, will be analysed. Additionally, the total number of women/year (between 1995 and 2019), in England, aged between 25-90+ years with a diagnosis of anal, vulvar, vaginal and cervical cancer as well as their respective HSILs will be requested. Together this data will be used to establish the incidence of anal cancer and HSIL in women with genital cancers and/or HSILs, the progression timelines between the different pathologies, as well as identify relevant sociodemographic risk factors in this patient group.
