Filter by:The purpose of this study is to test the safety of avelumab and Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) and see what effects (good and bad) that this combination treatment has on subjects with recurrent bladder cancer.
To optimize the perioperative management of patients undergoing laparoscopic radical cystectomy(LPC) for bladder cancer through observation of perioperative changes of Brain Natriuretic Peptide(BNP), stroke volume variation(SVV), central venous pressure(CVP) and the use of transthoracic echocardiography(TTE).
Bladder cancer (BC) is the seventh most common cancer in men worldwide and fourth most common cancer among Danish men. BC is estimated to be the most cost expensive cancer pr. patient life. BC is diagnosed, staged and if possible treated with a transurethral bladder tumor resection (TUR-B). The prognosis of BC is depending on the depth of invasion, which makes the quality of the TURB procedure of utmost importance. Retrospective studies from Sweden and Canada on resident involvement in TURB procedures indicated that the TURBs were insufficient with regard to staging and had a higher need of repeating TURB. Surgical training for TURB in Denmark today is based on the Halstedian principle: "See one, do one, teach one", comparable to training in Sweden and Canada. Thus, there is a need to develop better and safer principles for training. Simulators for surgical procedures have a promising role in the surgical training. The project will explore the effect of simulation training on the quality in transurethral resection of bladder tumors. Based on our findings the principles of simulator training will be integrated in a curriculum for simulator-based TURB training for urological surgeons in Denmark. The collaboration research group is composed of medical doctors in urological surgery at Urological Department at Zealand University Hospital, Roskilde (ROS) and experts in medical simulation at Copenhagen Academy for Medical Education and Simulation at Rigshospitalet (CAMES).
This is a pilot study that involves human subjects undergoing cystectomy surgery for bladder cancer, testing the utilization of a mobile health app that promotes postoperative patient engagement, along with provider monitoring and care. The aim of this pilot study is to assess feasibility and acceptability of an Internet-based mobile health tool following cystectomy discharge. Objectives will be met by assessing weekly adherence, determining acceptability of mobile health questions post-surgery by patients and providers, and by obtaining participant feedback regarding the tool. Complications, re-admissions, and resource utilization will also be monitored throughout the study. The hypothesis is that an mobile health intervention that tracks PROs, provides educational content, and allows real-time feedback via internet-enabled devices has the potential to improve the quality of care delivery and overall patient experience following surgery by decreasing resource utilization and improving symptom control and communication.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and activity of VAX014 for Instillation (VAX014) in patients with low-grade Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC). VAX014 is a targeted oncolytic agent designed to kill tumor cells following instillation into the urinary bladder.
In this study, the researchers will examine the effects of post-mindfulness intervention email and text messages to promote maintenance of intervention effects over time in a uro-oncology sample (clinically localized prostate, kidney, and bladder cancer) of patients and spouses.
Many complications may occur after ileal conduit, with the incidence increasing with time after surgery. Nearly half of the complications are related to stoma and ureteroileal anastomosis. The investigators believe that the surgical technique is responsible for these complications, and therefore have devised a modified technique for creating the ileal conduit that should help prevent these complications after surgery. The investigators' retrospective study shows that modified surgical technique for ileal conduit urinary diversion appears to be effective for reducing early and late complications related to the stoma. Thus the investigators would like to perform a prospective multicenter randomized controlled clinical study to prove the investigators' results. The investigators plan to enroll 104 patients, and randomizedly divide the participants into two groups, with one group 52 patients undergoing conventional ileal conduit, another group 52 patients undergoing modified ileal conduit.
By doing this study the investigators hope to learn if educational videos focusing on nutrition for bladder cancer patients are a good and effective way to help people improve their nutrition and recovery after radical cystectomy (RC).
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the anti-tumor activity of bempegaldesleukin (NKTR-214) in combination with nivolumab by assessing the objective response rate (ORR) in cisplatin ineligible, locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer patients.
This research study is studying a new anti-cancer drug durvalumab (MEDI4736) with or without another new anti-cancer drug Oleclumab (MEDI9447) before surgery for bladder cancer. The drugs involved in this study are: - Durvalumab (MEDI4736) - Oleclumab (MEDI9447)
