Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical response of the tumors within the bladder of recurrent NMIBC patients to Mitomycin-C embedded in UroGen Pharma's (known at that time as TheraCoat Ltd.) TC-3 Sterile Hydrogel (TC-3) and to evaluate the patency of ureters 6 hr post instillation.
This is a mono-center, open-label, phase 1 study evaluating the humanized anti-PD-1 antibody JS001, as a monotherapy in patients with advanced melanoma or urological cancers who have failed in routine systemic treatment. The study will be conducted in 2 parts: dose escalation and cohort expansion to investigate tolerability and efficacy.
Intra ocular pressure (IOP) may theoretically increase due to steep Trendelenberg position and studies showed that IOP reaches peak levels after steep Trendelenberg position on an average of 13 mmHg higher than preanesthesia induction values. Major determinants of IOP are aqueous humor flow, choroidal blood volume, central venous pressure and extra ocular muscle tone. Hassen GW et al measured anterior chamber depth in 2 patients with glaucoma and compared the anterior chamber depth (ACD) with the intraocular pressure measured by tonometer. They concluded that bedside ultrasound could be useful in evaluating patient with suspected increased IOP, who are unable to open their eyes.
The purpose of this trial is to assess the anti-tumour activity and safety of afatinib monotherapy in patients with urothelial tract carcinoma carrying ERBB2 or ERBB3 (Erythroblastic leukaemia viral oncogene homolog of the human epidermal growth factor family of receptors) mutations or ERBB2 amplifications (Cohort A), and EGFR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor) amplification positive tumours (Cohort B), progressing despite previous platinum based chemotherapy, and thereby to improve their prognosis. The antitumour activity of afatinib monotherapy in these patients will be assessed by progression free survival rate at 6 months (PFS6). This will be the primary endpoint of the trial. A key secondary endpoint will also be defined, the objective response rate (ORR).
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, a drug called ado-trastuzumab emtansine has on the patient and their cancer which is thought to be controlled by the abnormal HER2 gene.
This is a study to determine the clinical benefit (how well the drug works), safety and tolerability of combining varlilumab and atezolizumab. Phase l of the study will enroll patients with a number of tumor types; Phase ll will enroll only patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC).* *Note: This Study was terminated prior to initiation of Phase II
This is a study to determine the clinical benefit (how well the drug works), safety, and tolerability of combining varlilumab and sunitinib. The study will enroll patients with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
Background: Urothelial cancer is cancer of the bladder, ureter, and urethra. Researchers want to better understand what changes in a person s cells and genes cause this cancer to form. This may help them find new ways to treat it. Objective: - To perform DNA sequencing to help researchers learn the differences between normal tissue and tumor tissue. Also, to learn how molecular changes - including gene changes - might help predict the course of disease and how people respond to therapy. Eligibility: - Adults age 18 and older who have or are suspected of having urothelial cancer or an inherited disorder that raises their risk of getting bladder cancer. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam. Their medical records and tissue samples will be reviewed. - Eligible participants will give tissue blocks of their original tumor. The blocks will be put in a tissue bank. - Participants medical records may be reviewed. - Participants may have a medical history and physical exam. - Participants may have blood and urine tests. They may have imaging scans. They may give urine, blood, and saliva samples. These samples may be used in future research. - If participants need surgery for their cancer, researchers will keep some of the tissue (both tumor and normal tissue). The tissue may be used in future research. - Participants will go back to the Clinical Center in 6 months. They may give saliva, urine, and blood samples. After 6 months, they will be seen by their local doctor for standard post-surgical visits. - Participants will be called every 6 months to give health updates.
The aim of this registry is to evaluate the incidence, indications and outcomes of patients presenting with UTUC in relation to the different treatment modalities used.
Upper Urinary Tract Tumors have an incidence of 1 to 2 cases for 100 000 persons per year. The standard treatment for these tumors is the ablation of the kidney, ureter and a part of the bladder surrounding the ureteral orifice. The development of new diagnosis and treatment techniques through natural routes opens the possibility to use conservative treatments. The investigators hypothesis is that during a reno-ureteroscopy, laser confocal microscopy will allow the discrimination between normal and pathologic urothelium by microscopic analysis. This will prevent the systematic use of biopsies which are often difficult and iatrogenic.
