Filter by:Nearly 10% of the Belgian population suffer from kidney stone disease. Recent reviews reported that kidney stones represent an underestimated risk factor for further kidney function deterioration. Preventive measures are recommended in lithiases patients to prevent the formation of new stones. The individual effects of different medicated prosthetic interventions have been documented in clinical trials. However, there is little data on the effectiveness of combining these different preventive measures in routine clinical practice (real-world context). Patients with kidney stone disease require a complete metabolic assessment. The three main factors contributing to the stone's formation are the patient's metabolism, diet and lifestyle. Metabolic work-up is recommended by the American Urology Association to identify and correct the factors responsible for urinary stone formation such as hypercalciuria, hyperoxaluria, hyperuricuria, hypocitraturia or abnormalities of urinary pH. The metabolic work-up includes at minimum the 24h urine test, a blood test and spot urine test. Dietary habits and lifestyle are assessed by means of a questionnaire. The CHU Brugmann Hospital has a specialized multidisciplinary clinic for renal lithiases and mineral metabolism. Preventive personalized and interdisciplinary care in CHU Brugmann consists of a full metabolic work-up allowing the identification of lithogenic risk factors by nephrologists, dietary assessment by specialized dieticians and specific treatment protocol associated with regular follow-up. The aim of this study is to evaluate, in the context of a retrospective single-center cohort study, the effect of preventive personalized and interdisciplinary care on the evolution of all urinary lithogenic risk factors and the recurrence of kidney stones (rate of renal colics, emergency room admissions, and urological interventions).
This trial is a phase II clinical trial of the safety and efficacy of PD-1 antibody (Toripalimab) in combination with paclitaxel (albumin-bound type) and gemcitabine and PULSAR radiotherapy in patients with locally advanced unresectable pancreatic cancer and patients with only local recurrence after pancreatic cancer surgery, to observe the safety and efficacy of PD-1 antibody (Toripalimab) in combination with paclitaxel (albumin-bound type) and gemcitabine and PULSAR in the treatment of patients with locally advanced unresectable pancreatic cancer.
The standard of care for glioblastoma (GBM) treatment involves maximal resection followed by concomitant radiotherapy and temozolomide. Progression-free survival (PFS) with this treatment is only 6.9 months and relapse is inevitable. At relapse, there is no consensus regarding the optimal therapeutic strategy. The rationale behind the fact that limited chemotherapy agents are available in the treatment of malignant gliomas is related to the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which impedes drug entry to the brain. Intraarterial (IA) chemotherapy allows to circumvent this. Using IA delivery of carboplatin, can produce responses in 70% of patients for a median PFS of 5 months. Median survival from study entry was 11 months, whereas the overall survival (OS) 23 months. How can the OS and PFS be improved? By combining chemotherapeutic agents with different mechanisms of action. Study design: In this phase II trial, treatment will be offered at relapse. Surgery will be performed for cytoreduction if it is warranted, followed with a combination IA carboplatin + IA Cealyx (liposomal doxorubicin) or IA carboplatin + IA etoposide phosphate. Toxicity will be assessed according to the NCIC common toxicity criteria. Treatment will consist in either IA carboplatin (400 mg/m^2) + IA Cealyx (30 mg/m^2) or IA carboplatin (400 mg/m^2) + IA etoposide phosphate (400 mg/m^2) every 4-6 weeks (1 cycle). Up to twelve cycles will be offered. Outcome measurements: Tumor response will be evaluated using the RANO criteria by magnetic resonance imaging monthly. Primary outcome will PFS and tumor response. Secondary outcome will include median OS, toxicity, quality of life (QOL), neurocognition (NC). Putting together these data will allow to correlate clinical and radiological response to QOL and NC.

- The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about medication adherence to difference types of vaginal estrogen in women with low levels of estrogen (for example, post-menopausal women) who have recurrent urinary tract infections. Medication adherence means whether patients take their medicine as prescribed. - Another goal of the study is to learn about changes to the skin of the vagina before and after estrogen treatment, using a specialized imaging modality called optical coherence tomography, which is similar to receiving an ultrasound. - A third goal of the study is to learn about changes to the microbiome (all the bacteria that naturally live in our bodies) before and after treatment with vaginal estrogen. The researchers will be looking specifically at the microbiome in the urine and the vagina. Participants will be assigned by chance (like the flip of a coin) to receive one of three possible vaginal estrogen treatments - cream, tablets, or drug-eluting ring. - The main study tests and procedures include an initial visit in which the researchers will collect baseline information about participants and have participants complete a series of questionnaires. - There will then be 3 and 6 month follow-ups in which the researchers will have participants complete additional questionnaires and the researchers also assess whether participants are using the vaginal estrogen treatment that you were prescribed. If a participant is part of the microbiome cohort, they will also be asked to do the following: - a baseline visit in which urinary and vaginal specimens are collected to assess their baseline microbiome. The vaginal specimen collection will involve a q-tip swab inside the vagina; it is similar to a pap smear. - Finally, participants will have an imaging modality performed on their vagina called optical coherence tomography, which allows the researchers to assess the thickness of the vaginal walls and the blood vessel density. This imaging modality involves the insertion of a thin probe into the vagina to obtain the images of the vaginal wall. - These tests will then be repeated at 6 months to assess if vaginal estrogen treatment causes changes to the vagina.
Analyze the correlation between the conformity of the anatomy (based on endoscopic examination) and postoperative anastomotic fistula and anastomotic stenosis; establish an anastomotic classification; and construct a predictive model combined with perioperative-related test indicators to provide more accurate risk assessment for clinical practice. Analyze the natural recovery process of postoperative recurrent laryngeal nerve injury in esophageal cancer by tracking vocal cord movement (based on endoscopic examination) and hoarseness symptoms; combined with perioperative related surgical and laboratory indicators, identify the relevant risk factors associated with delayed recovery of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury.
The goal of this clinical trial is as follows:(1) Establish a clinical technical system for ctDNA dynamic monitoring of MRD in postoperative EOC patients, providing a new technical means for postoperative recurrence prevention and monitoring of EOC patients.(2) Establish a clinical technical system for adjuvant treatment of postoperative recurrence prevention for EOC patients with conventional protocols combined with personalized vaccines, so as to provide a new treatment method for postoperative recurrence prevention for EOC patients, with a view to obtaining a better survival prognosis.(3) To establish and improve the prediction process of Neoantigen for ovarian cancer and the in vitro evaluation system of the effectiveness of neoantigen vaccine, achieve independent innovation of tumor neoantigen vaccine treatment technology, and cultivate a group of technical forces to master the development of modern tumor vaccine drugs.(4) The new technology system has been promoted and applied in 5 hospitals in the province.
Patients with high-risk endometrial cancer may have MRD after surgical treatment, which is a potential source of follow-up early recurrence and metastasis, and because of its limited resolution, traditional imaging (including PET/CT) or laboratory methods may not be reliable to detect. For patients with radical treatment, the uncured population can be identified by the detection of MRD, suggesting that patients may benefit from further intervention. The purpose of this study is to explore the prognostic value and recurrence monitoring value of ctDNA-MRD in patients with endometrial carcinoma.
