Filter by:A qualitative study, combining psychiatric and anthropological perspectives, focused on the lived experiences of patients who had recourse to HPNCL emergencies during the period of November 2021, as well as the experiences and perceptions of those around them - such as their family, teachers or school and nursing staff. This multi-site approach will provide a multidimensional perspective on the experience of individuals and those around them, as well as a triangulation of data. The hypotheses to explain the increase in the rate of suicidal crisis will be addressed through semi-structured interviews proposed to the participants of the study.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the efficacy of the probiotic Limosilactobacillus reuteri 3613 for the decrease or prevent UTI occurrence in women ages 18-65 with a confirmed medical history of recurrent uncomplicated UTIs compared to a Placebo (the study medication without the probiotic)
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of allogenic adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs) in treating patients with glioblastoma that has come back (recurrent) who are undergoing brain surgery (craniotomy). Glioblastoma is the most common and most aggressive form of primary and malignant tumor of the brain. Currently, the standard of care for this disease includes surgical resection, followed by radiation with chemotherapy and tumor treating fields. Despite this aggressive therapy, the survival after finishing treatment remains low and the disease often reoccurs. Unfortunately, the available therapy options for recurrent GBM are minimal and do not have a great effect on survival. AMSCs are found in body fat and when separated from the fat, are delivered into the surgical cavity at the time of surgery. When in direct contact with tumor cells, AMSCs affect tumor growth, residual tumor cell death, and chemotherapy resistance. The use of AMSCs delivered locally into the surgical cavity of recurrent GBM during a craniotomy could improve the long-term outcomes of these patients by decreasing the progression rate and invasiveness of malignant cells.
BDTX-4933-101 is a first-in-human, open-label, Phase 1 dose escalation and an expansion cohort study designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability, maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the preliminary recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), and antitumor activity of BDTX-4933. The study population for the Dose Escalation part of the study comprises adults with recurrent advanced/metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring KRAS non-G12C mutations or BRAF mutations, advanced/metastatic melanoma harboring BRAF or NRAS mutations, histiocytic neoplasms harboring BRAF or NRAS mutations, and other solid tumors harboring BRAF mutations. The study population for the Dose Expansion part of the study comprises adults with recurrent advanced/metastatic NSCLC harboring KRAS non-G12C mutations. All patients will self-administer BDTX-4933 orally in 28-day cycles until disease progression, toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or termination of the study.
The optimal indication for ADT has long been a point of controversy, at least until the results of randomised trials comparing RT with and without ADT were published. NCCN guidelines and most retrospective series and left the decision to prescribe ADT in combination with RT to the discretion of the treating physician, despite a lack of clear scientific evidence to support this recommendation. The percentage of patients in those retrospective series who received hormone therapy ranged from 33% to 71%, but generally involved patients with adverse prognostic factors (Gleason score > 7, stage pT3-T4, PSA > 1 ng/mL in cases with biochemical recurrence [BCR], and PSA doubling time [PSA-DT] < 6 months). Despite the heterogeneity in those studies in terms of treatment duration, RT dose, and treatment volumes, most of the studies found that ADT significantly prolonged biochemical relapse-free survival (BRFS), especially in patients with PSA levels > 1 ng/mL at recurrence. The results of two randomised trials evaluating SRT with or without ADT were published in 2017, with both trials demonstrating a benefit for ADT in this clinical setting. A follow-up study confirmed the value of ADT in combination with SRT in terms of better PFS and, in the RTOG study, an improvement in overall survival (OS). Despite the lack of data from phase III trials regarding the influence of PSA-DT, the BRFS interval, and the Gleason score in terms of their effects on the clinical course of patients who develop BCR, there is strong evidence from other studies to support the use of these variables (together with age and comorbidities). Given the available evidence, we believe that these variables should be considered when determining the indications for ADT. In line with the philosophy underlying the approach used by D'Amico to develop a risk classification system for prostate cancer patients at diagnosis, we propose three risk groups. According to Pollack et al. and Spratt et al., low-risk patients would not benefit from hormone therapy, especially long-term ADT, due to the deleterious effects of such treatment. By contrast, intermediate and high risk patients would be candidates for ADT combined with RT. However, the optimal duration of ADT in these patients (6 months vs. 2 years) remains undefined and needs to be determined prospectively in a randomised trial, similar to the approach used in the DART 05.01 trial. SRT and ADT are widely used in routine clinical practice to treat patients who develop BCR after prostatectomy. In this context, we intend to perform a multicentre, phase III trial to define the optimal duration of ADT (6 vs. 24 months).
A prospective study of partial breast re-irradiation in patients with local recurrence of breast cancer
This is a Phase 1 study of central nervous system (CNS) locoregional adoptive therapy with SC-CAR4BRAIN, an autologous CD4+ and CD8+ T cells lentivirally transduced to express to express combinations of B7-H3, EGFR806, HER2, and IL13-zetakine chimeric antigen receptors (CAR). CAR T cells are delivered via an indwelling catheter into the ventricular system in children and young adults with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), diffuse midline glioma (DMG), and recurrent or refractory CNS tumors. A child or young adult meeting all eligibility criteria, including having a CNS catheter placed into their ventricular system, and meeting none of the exclusion criteria will have their T cells collected. The T cells will then be bioengineered into a second-generation CAR T cell that target B7H3, EGFR806, HER2, and IL13-zetakine on tumor cells. Patients will be assigned to 1 of 2 treatment Arms based on the type of their tumor: - Arm A is for patients with DIPG (meaning primary disease localized to the pons, metastatic disease is allowed) anytime after standard radiation OR after progression. - Arm B is for patients with non-pontine DMG (meaning DMG in other parts of the brain such as the thalamus or spine) anytime after standard radiation OR after progression. This Arm also includes other recurrent/refractory CNS tumors.
The goal of this prospective, multicenter, single-arm clinical study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of toripalimab in combination with axitinib for postoperative adjuvant therapy for non-clear renal cell carcinoma with high-risk recurrence factors.
A total of 244 breast cancer survivors will be invited to participate in the randomized controlled trial. Breast cancer survivors who meet the inclusion criteria and provide digital informed consent will be included. Participants will be stratified and randomized by the severity of baseline fear of cancer recurrence and time since diagnosis. In the control arm, women will be treated as usual. In the intervention arm, women will be offered a six-weekly, 60 min, online mindfulness and acceptance intervention. An online questionnaire will be used to collect data at four time points: before the first group session, immediately after the intervention, three months, and six months post-intervention. Phone interviews exploring participants' experiences will be held immediately after the intervention with women of the intervention group.
Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging is the most widely used examination for detecting the presence of brain metastasis. Functional sequences such as perfusion weighted imaging makes it possible to differentiate tumor recurrence from cerebral radionecrosis. However, this imaging technique may exhibit limitations, especially for brain lesions consisting of a mixture of necrotic tissue and tumor progression or depending on the location of the lesion in the brain. The use of 18F-DOPA PET is another option available to oncologists. Many studies on gliomas showed the superiority of this imaging technique over contrast-enhanced MRI. However, this imaging solution has been very poorly studied for brain metastases. The new PET technology equiped with silicon detectors makes it possible to obtain greater sensitivities than those of previous generations. It also make possible to obtain images in very short acquisition times. After injection, the hardware allows to obtain the perfusion kinetics of the lesion thanks to a very short temporal sampling (i.e. three seconds). The main objective of this pilot study is to evaluate the association between early activity measurements (< 4 minutes post-injection) of 18F-FDOPA in PET and the differential diagnosis between radionecrosis and recurrence of cerebral metastases treated by radiotherapy.
