Filter by:Radiation therapy (RT) is a key component in the treatment of breast and prostate cancer. However, patients may experience significant side effects. Patients can accurately self-report side effects from RT and these patient-reported outcomes (PROs) can direct communication between patient and healthcare provider (HCP), and facilitate joint decision making. Patients state that using mobile phone applications (apps) to collect PROs (mPROs) is easily incorporated into their daily routines, allowing them to engage at a time and pace that suits them. When mPRO collection is combined with remote symptom monitoring by HCPs, these systems result in improvements in symptom control and quality of life. Currently, patients receiving RT are seen by a Radiation Oncologist once per week during RT and once every few months after RT has finished. Recent evaluations indicate that patients and physicians consider the number of visits to be too frequent during RT, and too infrequent immediately after RT. This research will use weekly mPROs (remotely monitored by RT HCP) to determine if a patient needs (or wants) to be seen by a RT HCP during and/or immediately after RT. Using mPROs to optimize RT patient assessment processes will ensure patients are seen if and when required. For a patient, this could result in reduced time and costs at the hospital. For the physician, resources could be re-allocated to improve access to RT services. Using mPROs after RT has the potential for earlier treatment of side effects, which has been linked to improved survival and quality of life.
This prospective registry and longitudinal study that is designed to carefully measure details of prostate cancer patients' outcomes with focal therapy. The goal of which is to improve patient care.
This study is to investigate the efficacy of Targeted Microwave Ablation (TMA) under MRI-Ultrasound fusion and organ-based tracking (OBT) navigation in localized prostate cancer (PCa) in a multi-centre trial.
HIP is a randomized controlled trial. The aim is investigate the effect, safety and feasibility of brief, high-impact exercise targeting bones in patients with prostate cancer and bone metastases. Furthermore, to investigate the effects of the intervention on bone status (bone mineral density) and body composition, physical function and performance, patient reported quality-of-life outcomes, falls and hospitalizations.
Prospective single-center phase II study to evaluate the PSA, imaging and pathological response, as well as oncological outcomes of systemic radioligand therapy [177Lu]Lu-PSMAI&T (PSMA-RLT) in patients planned for radical prostatectomy (RP) for oligometastatic prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosed using [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET examination. Ten patients with oligometastatic primary PCa diagnosed using [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET-CT/MRI imaging will be included in this study.
The goal of this phase 1/2 clinical trial is to investigate the safety of an investigational drug called VIO-01 when taken by people who have different types of solid tumor cancers. There are two parts to this trial, part 1 and part 2. Part 1 of the trial aims to answer these questions: - The safety and tolerability of VIO-01 when it is given alone or in combination with other anti-cancer therapies. - The highest dose that people can take without having unacceptable side effects - How well your body tolerates the drug alone or in combination, how they are absorbed, and the effects they have on your disease. Part 2 of the trial will further test VIO-01's effect in participants with advanced HRRm or HRD+ solid tumors and HRRm/HRD+ recurrent ovarian cancer. Participants will follow a schedule of visits to the study site to have assessments done related to their health condition and to receive the trial treatment.
This study is a first-in-human (FIH), Phase 1a/1b study of BG-68501, a cyclin-dependent kinase-2 inhibitor (CDK2i), to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and preliminary antitumor activity of BG-68501 in participants with advanced, nonresectable, or metastatic solid tumors. The study will also identify a recommended dose for expansion (RDFE) in subsequent disease directed studies. The study will be conducted in 2 parts: Part 1 (dose escalation and safety expansion) and Part 2 (dose expansion).
The goal of this study is to show that trained detection dogs can identify breast, lung, prostate or colorectal cancer by sniffing masks containing breath samples. In this study, individuals who will undergo cancer screening at an integrated cancer prevention center or biopsy for a suspected malignancy, will be asked to provide a breath sample by breathing into a surgical mask. The mask will then be sent to the laboratory, where trained detection dogs will determine if the person who provided the mask has breast, lung, prostate or colorectal cancer or if the person does not have these types of cancer. The results provided by the dogs will be compared to the actual cancer screening results or biopsy results in order to determine the accuracy of cancer detection by the trained dogs.
To refine a remote behavioral exercise training intervention for testing in a larger randomized trial.
Positron emission tomography (PET), an advanced diagnostic imaging technique, exploits the annihilation of positrons (e+) to delineate pathological alterations within diseased tissues. Integral to PET scanners are detector systems that transform gamma photons into fluorescent photons, thereby gleaning insights into the energy, time, and spatial distribution of gamma photons emanating from positron-emitting radiopharmaceuticals. Conventional PET scanners, bear a significant financial burden primarily due to their reliance on LSO (lutetium oxyorthosilicate) or LYSO (lutetium yttrium oxyorthosilicate) scintillation crystals. The exorbitant cost and limited availability of these crystal scintillators impede the widespread adoption of PET scanners. In a departure from conventional PET technology, the prototype J-PET scanner employed in this trial employs plastic scintillators, characterized by unique physical properties. This prototype is further equipped with bespoke software enabling three-photon imaging based on the annihilation of ortho-positronium (o-Ps) generated within diseased tissue. This study delves into the clinical applicability of PET scanners employing plastic scintillators, particularly investigating the feasibility of PET imaging using plastic scintillators where gamma quanta interact by mechanisms other than the photoelectric effect. Furthermore, this study endeavors to contemporaneously acquire and analyze data related to the lifetime of ortho-positronium (o-P) atoms emanating from routine radiopharmaceuticals. Additionally, it seeks to validate the utilization of a novel diagnostic indicator, termed the "positron biomarker," through a prospective study, comparing its efficacy to conventional diagnostic PET scanning methodologies.
