Impact of a Physical Activity Intervention With Motivational Support From Peers for Prostate Cancer Patients - ACTI-PAIR2

Title Impact of a Physical Activity Intervention With Motivational Support From Peers for Prostate Cancer Patients - ACTI-PAIR 2 Multicenter, Randomized Stepped-wedge Study

Despite the recognized benefits of physical activity in tertiary prevention, 60-70% of prostate cancer patients are insufficiently active. Yet 150 minutes of brisk walking per week (new WHO recommendations) is associated with a 29% reduction in cancer mortality and a 57% reduction in recurrence. Increasing patients' adherence to regular physical activity appears to be a new challenge for personalized cancer care. Personalized physical activity programmes (1) at home, (2) supported by health professionals, or (3) by peers have shown the effectiveness of regular physical activity. However, these interventions last less than 6 months and do not allow for long-term sustainability of physical activity. This study proposes to combine 3 interventions, which aim to initiate and maintain regular physical activity in prostate cancer patients: - 1-The realization of a personalized and realistic physical activity project via physical activity support devices (sport health centers) - 2-Coaching by a peer (a patient with the same disease who has reached the WHO recommendations for physical activity), who will provide motivational follow-up - 3-Support by health professionals (attending physician) through the prescription of physical activity. The feasibility of ACTI-PAIR program has been demonstrated, the investigators now wish to evaluate it effectiveness.

Vascular Invasion Signatures in cfDNA Support Re-staging of Liver Cancer

Vascular Invasion Signatures in cfDNA Support Re-staging of Small Liver Cancer

Tumor staging system based on clinicopathological charactertics has been used to guide treatment decisions. However, therapeutic outcomes of "early-stage" hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) differs significantly, which strongly suggests the requirement for a re-staging of early HCC to inform treatment selection more precisely. Microvascular invasion (MVI) reflects malignant biological characteristics of early HCC, and has a potential role of guiding treatment selection. As such, the objective of this study is to investigate preoperative MVI prediction based on MVI-related genomic signatures of cell-free circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to establish a re-staging of early HCC. The investigators have detected 37 mutant genes associated with MVI in HCC tumor tissues. In this study, the investigators will design a gene panel based on these mutant genes to perform targeted gene sequencing on preoperatively collected ctDNA to identify genomic signatures associated with MVI. A nomogram to predict MVI before treatment will be generated by incorporating these genomic signatures. Based on a calculated optimal cut-off value of the nomogram, early HCC patients can be re-staged into subpopulations based on the nomogram-predicted risks of MVI. This study will develop a re-staging system of early HCC based on tumor biological charactertics, which is expected to accurately and individually guide treatment decisions and improve long-term survival outcomes.

An AI Platform Integrating Imaging Data and Models, Supporting Precision Care Through Prostate Cancer's Continuum

An AI Platform Integrating Imaging Data and Models, Supporting Precision Care Through Prostate Cancer's Continuum

In Europe, prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most frequent type of cancer in men and the third most lethal. Current clinical practices, often leading to overdiagnosis and overtreatment of indolent tumors, suffer from lack of precision calling for advanced AI models to go beyond SoA by deciphering non-intuitive, high-level medical image patterns and increase performance in discriminating indolent from aggressive disease, early predicting recurrence and detecting metastases or predicting effectiveness of therapies. To date efforts are fragmented, based on single-institution, size-limited and vendorspecific datasets while available PCa public datasets (e.g. US TCIA) are only few hundred cases making model generalizability impossible. The ProCAncer-I project brings together 20 partners, including PCa centers of reference, world leaders in AI and innovative SMEs, with recognized expertise in their respective domains, with the objective to design, develop and sustain a cloud based, secure European Image Infrastructure with tools and services for data handling. The platform hosts the largest collection of PCa multi-parametric (mp)MRI, anonymized image data worldwide (>17,000 cases), based on data donorship, in line with EU legislation (GDPR). Robust AI models are developed, based on novel ensemble learning methodologies, leading to vendor-specific and -neutral AI models for addressing 8 PCa clinical scenarios. To accelerate clinical translation of PCa AI models, we focus on improving the trust of the solutions with respect to fairness, safety, explainability and reproducibility. Metrics to monitor model performance and a causal explainability functionality are developed to further increase clinical trust and inform on possible failures and errors. A roadmap for AI models certification is defined, interacting with regulatory authorities, thus contributing to a European regulatory roadmap for validating the effectiveness of AI-based models for clinical decision making.

An AI Platform Integrating Imaging Data and Models, Supporting Precision Care Through Prostate Cancer's Continuum - ProCAncer-I

An AI Platform Integrating Imaging Data and Models, Supporting Precision Care Through Prostate Cancer's Continuum

Currently, in the clinical landscape of PCa, much of the AI work is limited to single-centre, single AI-architecture analyses and critically, on small data sets. ProCAncer-I will create a vast, diversified and multidisciplinary repository, fed by a large collection of mp-MRI. The participating clinical partners will congregate mp-MRI and clinical data, retrospectively and prospectively, from more than 17.000 PCa patients (11.000 retrospective and 6.000 prospective mp-MRI cases), including baseline examinations and follow up studies to form the ProstateNET dataset, counting more than 1.5 million image representations of the prostate (cancerous, non-cancerous and benign cases). ProCAncer-I aims to address the unmet clinical needs in PCa regarding precision diagnosis and personalised disease management with a disruptive paradigm change in clinical research, exploiting a novel multi centre collaboration, comprising a master-global model, boosted with MRI and AI modelling methodology. ProCAncer-I will deal with both retrospective and prospective data. Retrospective data will be collected and will be used to implement and train AI algorithms by other partners of the Consortium. Similarly, prospective data will be collected for the development of vendor specific models and external validation of AI models.

Reduced Dose of Pegfilgrastim as Support for Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer

A Randomized Controlled Study Comparing Different Doses of Pegfilgrastim as Support for Adjuvant Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer

Pegfilgrastim is a long-acting recombinant human granulocyte-colony stimulating factor as support for chemotherapy, which can be used conveniently. According to the package inserts in America, Europe, and China, the recommended dose for pegfilgrastim is 6mg per cycle, while it is recommended at a dose of 3.6mg in Japan. It is still unclear whether pegfilgrastim 3mg can produce similar efficacy with pegfilgrastim 6mg. In this trial, the investigators prospectively compared the efficacy and safety of pegfilgrastim 3mg with 6mg in patients with breast cancer receiving AC regimen, a commonly used regimen in adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer.

Stereotactic Radiotherapy vs Best Supportive Care in Unfit Pancreatic Cancer Patients - PANCOSAR

PANcreatic Cancer lOcalized Disease in Frail or Elderly Patients Unfit for Both Chemotherapy and Surgery Treated With Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (PANCOSAR): a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

SUMMARY Rationale: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most lethal cancers, its incidence increases with age. Many patients with localized (non-metastatic) PC have significant comorbidities, advanced age or a poor performance status which preclude chemotherapy and surgery. Because these patients are currently left untreated, it is desirable to find tolerable treatment options for these patients. A short course of high-dose precise radiation therapy i.e. stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) may be feasible in these patients. Review of existing SABR literature for PDAC shows high local control rates, with relatively low toxicity and it was demonstrated to be feasible and well tolerated even in elderly patients. It is unknown whether SABR improves outcomes in this group. The main goal of the current study is to investigate if SABR may relieve tumor-related symptoms, postpone a decrease in global QoL and potentially prolong survival in this patient group compared to the current treatment of choice, best supportive care. Objective: To investigate the potential benefit in survival and quality of life after SABR in patients with localised PDAC for whom no other treatment is available, as compared to controls managed with best supportive care. Study design: A multicentre randomized controlled trial Study population: Patients with biopsy proven, localized PDAC, unfit for chemotherapy and surgery or those who refuse these treatments. They will be randomized between SABR versus best supportive care. Intervention: consists of SABR to the primary tumour in 5 fractions of 8 Gy. Main study endpoints: Primary endpoint is the overall survival rate at six months (from randomization). Secondary endpoints include the evaluation of time to decreased global quality of life (QoL, using the QLQ- C30 and EORTC-PAN26), NRS pain response and Ca19.9 response, acute and subacute toxicity using CTCAEv5.0 and progression-free survival in the treated patients using imaging. It is hypothesized that in frail patients with PDAC, SABR may relieve tumor-related symptoms, improve the quality of life and prolong survival compared to best supportive care. Its aim is to investigate the outcomes of SABR with respect to overall survival, pain response, toxicity and quality of life in patients with non-metastasized PDAC for whom standard radical treatment in the form of surgery or chemotherapy is either too toxic, not possible due to comorbidities, or is refused.
