Filter by:Background Urothelial carcinoma (UC) is the most common malignancy of the urinary system. Hematuria is a significant clinical manifestation of UC, often diagnosed through invasive procedures. Urine DNA methylation testing is a promising non-invasive method for early UC detection. Objectives To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of urine DNA methylation testing for detecting UC in patients with hematuria, using standard clinical and pathological diagnoses as the gold standard. We also aim to investigate the association between preoperative urine DNA methylation status and prognosis in UC patients. For non-UC patients: Follow up for one year to assess the risk of UC development based on preoperative urine DNA methylation status. Sample Size Calculation Expected sensitivity: 86% Expected specificity: 90% Significance level (Alpha): 0.05 Total participants needed: 1053 (adjusted for 5% dropout rate, 1109 participants will be recruited). Study Procedure Enrollment and Sample Collection: Screen patients, obtain consent, collect urine samples. Blinding and Testing: Blinded sample processing and DNA methylation testing. Unblinding and Analysis: Statistical analysis of sensitivity and specificity. Reporting: Compilation and consolidation of clinical trial reports. We anticipate that urine DNA methylation testing will show high sensitivity and specificity for UC diagnosis in patients with hematuria, providing valuable non-invasive diagnostic information and improving patient outcomes.
This is a phase 1 dose escalation trial of ZM008, an anti-LLT1 antibody as a single agent followed by combination with Pembrolizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors who have exhausted all standard therapy available or are intolerant of the same.
This is an open-label, expanded access trial designed to provide access to cretostimogene in patients with NMIBC unresponsive to BCG.
This clinical trial assesses an effective and translatable care model to understand and reduce the adverse effects that cancer patients experience during their treatment therapies and thereby enhance their well-being and quality of life. Excessive immune activation can affect multiple organs with the most common adverse effects being skin rash, diarrhea, colitis, fatigue, hypothyroidism and anorexia. A restrictive calorie diet, mostly of fat and complex carbohydrates, will mimic fasting and increase resiliency to protect patients from the adverse effects of cancer treatments, by managing the adverse side effects of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) treatments in select cancer patients. The fast mimicking diet (FMD) (Xentigen®) is a calorie restrictive, low-calorie, low-protein, high complex carbohydrate, high-fat diet. The FMD program is a plant-based diet program designed to attain fasting-like effects while providing both macro- and micronutrients to minimize the burden of fasting and adverse effects. The FMD consists of 100% ingredients which are generally regarded as safe (GRAS) and comprises mainly of vegetable-based soups and broths, energy bars, energy drinks, cracker snacks, herbal teas, and supplements. Following a FMD may reduce the adverse effects that some cancer patients experience while following immunotherapy treatments.
Background: Hematuria, a common symptom of urinary system diseases, can result from various causes including infection, stones, trauma, and tumors. Urothelial carcinoma (UC), the most common malignancy of the urinary system, often presents with hematuria. Current diagnostic methods like urine cytology and cystoscopy have limitations in sensitivity and specificity, and cystoscopy is invasive. DNA methylation biomarkers offer potential for non-invasive UC detection, improving diagnostic accuracy in hematuria patients. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic performance of DNA methylation biomarkers in detecting UC in patients with hematuria. Methods: This prospective pilot study will involve collecting preoperative urine samples from hematuria patients for DNA methylation testing using MSRE-qPCR. Sample size calculation was based on an assumed 25% prevalence of UC in hematuria patients, resulting in a total of 71 participants after accounting for a 20% dropout rate. Sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic performance will be assessed using ROC curves. Conclusion: This study seeks to validate the effectiveness of urine DNA methylation testing for UC detection in hematuria patients, providing a basis for its clinical application and informing the design of larger future studies.
The purpose of this study is to assess the antitumor activity of avelumab in combination with tuvusertib in terms of objective response in participants with advanced urothelial carcinoma. Study details include: Condition/Disease: Participants with urothelial carcinoma (locally advanced and unresectable, or metastatic) that has progressed on prior anti-PD-(L)1 therapy Treatment Duration: Participants will be treated until progressive disease, death, or discontinuation due to e.g. withdrawal of consent or lost to follow-up Visit Frequency: While receiving study intervention, participants will visit the site twice per every 21-day study intervention period. 1 week after end of study intervention, participants will visit the site for an End of Study Intervention Visit, followed by 2 Safety Follow-Up visits at 1 and 3 months after last dose, and thereafter have remote Long-Term Follow-up every 3 months. Study Duration: The overall study is planned to close after the last participant has been followed up for at least 12 months.
This study will estimate the real-world effectiveness of adjuvant nivolumab therapy in adult participants with muscle invasive urothelial carcinoma (MIUC) in France.
This study is a multicenter, non-interventional, retrospective, medical chart review of locally advanced or metastatic (la/m) Urothelial Cancer UC participants who were prescribed avelumab as first line maintenance therapy after a platinum-based chemotherapy. This study aims to understand the index date (i.e., at the initiation of avelumab maintenance therapy) demographics and clinical characteristics of participants with locally advanced/metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma in Japan, and to describe their treatment patterns and outcomes.
This study is a phase II clinical study to explore the efficacy and safety of BL-B01D1 + PD-1 combination therapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma.
This trial aims at investigating the diagnostic ability of a combined diagnostic panel including systematic endoscopic evaluation (SEE), blood-based ctDNA assay, and urine-based cfDNA assay to predict the presence of residual tumor remaining in the bladder at cystectomy. Patients who are planned for cystectomy due to bladder cancer will be considered for enrollment based on inclusion and exclusion criteria.
