Filter by:THERATEST is looking to collect data from 30 patients actively receiving de-escalation treatments or other standard of care treatments in two UK hospitals. THERATEST is a feasibility study to determine whether patients are willing to be recruited, the impact of de-escalation treatments on patients' cancers and quality of life, whether we should proceed with these treatments in a larger study, and if so how the study should be conducted. A feasibility study prepares the ground for a larger study and improves the chances of the subsequent study producing valuable evidence, and helps to avoid wasting precious resources on larger trials that are unlikely to be informative. We hope that information from THERATEST will bridge the current knowledge gap and allow clinicians to design bigger trials to actively compare the different treatment strategies.
PRIMETEST II is an interventional study involving low-volume metastatic seminoma. It explores a novel approach using robot-assisted primary retroperitoneal lymph node dissection, aiming to reduce long-term side effects and improve quality of life. By identifying factors predicting cancer recurrence, the study hopes to tailor treatments for better outcomes. The approach could potentially spare patients from chemotherapy induced long-term side effects while maintaining excellent survival rates, presenting a promising shift in testicular cancer care for this specific patient group.
Robot-assisted image-guided sentinel lymph node biopsy (RAISN) in testicular cancer is a novel technique that has not been widely investigated yet. This technique is promising and could be implemented as a future standard in the primary diagnostic work up of clinical stage (CS) I testicular cancer. Current staging strategies have a poor predictive accuracy for occult metastatic disease. So far, feasibility studies used 99mTC-nanocolloid staining and laparoscopy and all patients with tumor-positive nodes received adjuvant systemic treatment. The development of a robot-assisted image-guided lymph node resection technique with indocyanine green (ICG) is potentially more precise, easier to apply and widely available. With this new diagnostic approach the management of newly diagnosed testicular cancer patients might be changed dramatically by reducing overtreatment and treatment-related toxicity with a minimally invasive robot-assisted procedure.
Phase II, multicenter, prospective, randomized, non-comparative, de-escalation study. Patients with stage IIa/IIb < 3 cm seminoma histologically proved after orchiectomy will be included in the study and will receive 1 cycle of Etoposide Cisplatine (EP) chemotherapy. Patients with negative week-3 PET-scan after the EP cycle, will be randomized (1:1 ratio, stratification according to the disease stage (stage IIa versus IIb seminoma)) to receive either radiotherapy (RT) boost on lymph nodes or 1 cycle of carboplatin AUC7 chemotherapy. Patients with positive week-3 PET-scan will received 3 additional cycles of EP chemotherapy. In parallel, eligible patients scheduled to receive standard lombo-aortic RT will be registered in an observational cohort.
This is a multicenter, interventional, randomized study among adult patients recently diagnosed with a rare tumor (<12 months). The study will aim to compare compliance with the personalized post-treatment surveillance plan, established for each patient according to national guidelines, when the surveillance is conducted in person by a hospital-based physician (control arm) or remotely by a trained nurse (experimental arm).
This study will investigate the safety and efficacy of using robotic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (R-RPLND), a minimally invasive surgical approach, as the first-line of treatment for stage IIA/B (or equivalent) seminoma patients. R-RPLND will be trialed as an alternative to chemotherapy, radiation therapy (for seminoma patients) and open RPLND in this study.
The main objective of this study is establish the performance of miR371 in management of testicular cancer
The purpose of the CTO-IUSCCC-0752 study is to investigate the use of Cabozantinib for patients with incurable, refractory germ cell tumors. Patients will be treated until evidence of disease progression, non-compliance with study protocol, unacceptable major toxicity, at subject's own request for withdrawal, or if the study closes for any reason.
This trial studies whether the blood marker micro ribonucleic acid (miRNA) 371 can predict the chance of cancer returning in patients with germ cell cancers. Studying samples of blood from patients with germ cell cancers in the laboratory may help doctors predict how likely the cancer will come back.
This phase III trial studies how well active surveillance help doctors to monitor subjects with low risk germ cell tumors for recurrence after their tumor is removed. When the germ cell tumor has spread outside of the organ in which it developed, it is considered metastatic. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as bleomycin, carboplatin, etoposide, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. The trial studies whether carboplatin or cisplatin is the preferred chemotherapy to use in treating metastatic standard risk germ cell tumors.
