Filter by:This trial establishes patient-derived cancer xenografts in addressing cancer health and treatment disparities that disproportionately affect racial/ethnic minorities. Understanding the genetic and response differences among racial/ethnic minorities may help researchers enhance the precision of therapeutic treatments.
Radical cystectomy (RC) for bladder cancer requires reconstruction of the lower urinary tract. Both continent and incontinent diversions are available for urinary reconstruction after RC. Types of urinary diversions include ( ileal conduit, uretero-cutaneous, ureterosigmoidostomy and orthotopic bladder) The decision process is complex and involves consideration of issues related to cancer stage, patient comorbidities, treatment needs, and patient desires related to Quality of life and intraoperative findings. Outcomes of urinary diversions include 1- survival rate (cancer specific or overall survival). 2- Oncological failure (local, distant or LNs). 3- Complications (perioperative, intraoperative or post-operative). In this study, all these outcomes will be analyzed.
Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block can be used to provide effective analgesia during the postoperative period following a range of surgeries. TAP block administers local anesthetics between the T6 to L1 spinal nerve roots to stop the nerve signal and to alleviate pain for abdominal procedures 4, 5. The viscera are innervated by the vagal nerve (parasympathetic innervation) and by the splanchnic nerves (sympathetic innervation). The splanchnic nerves carry both visceral efferent and afferent nerve fibers. The sensory (or afferent) part of the splanchnic nerves reach the spinal column at certain spinal segments, It is possible to block central visceral pain conduction with thoracic paravertebral blockade or maybe even with the novel quadratus lumborum (QL) block. The effect of the QL block is believed to result from a spread of LA from its lumbar deposition cranially into the thoracic paravertebral space (TPVS), since Carney et al found traces of contrast agent in the TPVS following application of this block. Hence, the QL block would seem to be able to alleviate both somatic and visceral pain.10 The aim of this study is to compare between quadratus lumborum block, transversus abdominis plane block regarding perioperative analgesia after bladder cancer surgeries by measuring intraoperative hemodynamics, postoperative pain scores and morphine consumption in the first 24 h postoperative.
This trial will look at a drug called sigvotatug vedotin (SGN-B6A) alone and with pembrolizumab, with or without chemotherapy, to find out whether it is safe for people who have solid tumors. It will study sigvotatug vedotin to find out what its side effects are. A side effect is anything the drug does besides treating cancer. It will also study whether sigvotatug vedotin works to treat solid tumors. The study will have four parts. - Part A of the study will find out how much sigvotatug vedotin should be given to participants. - Part B will use the dose found in Part A to find out how safe sigvotatug vedotin is and if it works to treat solid tumors. - Part C of the study will find out how safe sigvotatug vedotin is in combination with these other drugs. - Part D will include people who have not received treatment. This part of the study will find out how safe sigvotatug vedotin is in combination with these other drugs and if these combinations work to treat solid tumors. - In Parts C and D, participants will receive sigvotatug vedotin with either: - Pembrolizumab or, - Pembrolizumab and carboplatin, or - Pembrolizumab and cisplatin.
Gastric cancer and colorectal cancer are common gastrointestinal malignancies in the world.Early cancer generally has no obvious symptoms. Endoscopy is the "gold standard"for the diagnosis of gastric cancer and colorectal cancer.gastric cancer and colorectal cancer treatment mainly includes surgery and medication.Compared with traditional diagnosis and treatment methods, the application of gene detection technology, especially high-throughput sequencing technology (NGS) in tumor diagnosis and treatment, performs multi-dimensional and multi-target detection of cancer-related genes, which can quickly and accurately determine the target gene mutations Morphology and expression differences, so as to provide personalized guidance to patients in terms of medication, treatment or prognosis evaluation, which can save a lot of time and treatment costs, and improve the overall treatment effect and patient quality of life. Cystoscopy and biopsy sampling pathological testing are the gold standard for bladder cancer diagnosis, and have been widely used in clinical diagnosis and prognosis judgment. However, cystoscopy is cumbersome, expensive, and often causes pain to the patients under test. At present, the main clinical non-invasive detection technique for bladder cancer is still the cytological examination of urinary tract bladder cells in urine, and its sensitivity and specificity are not good, especially for the diagnosis of early lower grade bladder cancer.For bladder cancer, tumor tissue (puncture biopsy or surgical resection) DNA, urine ctDNA, urinary tract exfoliated cell DNA and peripheral blood ctDNA can be used for genetic testing, but the consistency of the genetic testing results of these four types of samples has not been verified, especially There is no systematic evaluation of the guidance effect of non-invasive gene detection of free tumor DNA and urinary tract shed cell DNA in the diagnosis and treatment of bladder cancer.The corresponding relationship between the significant mutation genes contained in the DNA derived from bladder urinary tract cancer and the various types and stages of bladder cancer is not clear.
This pilot study is evaluating how well pembrolizumab and combination chemotherapy before surgery work for the treatment of specific types of muscle-invasive bladder cancer that have unusual appearance (variants). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as methotrexate, vinblastine, adriamycin, 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. Giving pembrolizumab and combination chemotherapy before surgery may work better in treating patients with these muscle invasive bladder cancer variants compared to chemotherapy alone.
eRapa (encapsulated rapamycin) will be investigated for secondary prevention in patients with diagnosed non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) through a phase II double-blind randomized controlled trial of long-term (one year) prevention with eRapa versus placebo. The primary hypothesis is that eRapa decreases the risk of cancer relapse for patients with NMIBC. Secondary hypotheses are that eRapa can improve certain immune parameters and improve cognition and physical function without adversely affecting patient-reported outcomes and quality of life.
This is a phase Ib study of the safety and performance of a novel intravesical contrast-enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging protocol for determination of bladder cancer stage prior to transurethral resection of bladder tumor (21 subjects) or prior to radical cystectomy for muscle invasive disease (21 subjects). Subjects will undergo a single MRI study: a pre-contrast, single breath hold image followed by sterile placement of a temporary urethral catheter for instillation of a 50mL solution containing Gadobutrol (4 mM) plus ferumoxytol (5 mM) and then a second, post-contrast image. Images will be reviewed by two dedicated abdominal radiologists, who are blinded to the pathologic staging, for determination of tumor presence and depth of bladder wall penetration.
Treatment of localized muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is radical cystectomy. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) improves survival. Approximately 50-60% of all MIBC patients undergoing NAC before cystectomy are histopathological without remnant tumor in the cystectomy specimen (T0). However, there is currently no optimal method to evaluate whether the patient is true T0 or has remnant tumor in need for consolidating radical treatment. The study aim is to investigate if 15O-H2O PET/MR can predict complete local response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with MIBC and thereby identify potential candidates for organ preservation.
This is an open-label phase II study assessing the activity of cabozantinib combined with atezolizumab in patients with resectable muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma who are ineligible for cisplatin-based therapy or decline cisplatin-based therapy. Each cycle equals 21 days. The dose of atezolizumab is 1200 mg IV flat dose every 3 weeks (Day 1) plus cabozantinib 40 mg orally daily (Day 1 through Day 21). Patients will receive three cycles of treatment prior to cystectomy unless they discontinue treatment for unacceptable toxicity or progressive disease by RECIST v1.1 or withdraw consent.
