Filter by:This study is to assess how patients respond to their treatment for cervical cancer. This research does not involve a specific treatment for the cancer that will be recommended by the doctor and may include radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy. This is a separate research imaging study designed to assess how patients respond to their treatment for cervical cancer.
This proposal has been developed through collaboration between the University of Minnesota and New American Community Services (NACS), and the research design is based on a needs assessment conducted by the community partner. The investigators will test the hypotheses that women who are offered home vaginal bio-specimen collection will have higher rate of cervical cancer screening completion than that of women referred for clinic-based Pap test. All participants will be given identical education materials on cervical cancer screening and HPV, currently in use by the Minnesota Sage Program.
Concurrent chemoradiation therapy with weekly cisplatin is the current standard treatment for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer. However, weekly cisplatin is related to renal toxicity and not convenient regimen. Recently, carboplatin has proved to be a good radiosensitizer and less renal toxicity. Weekly carboplatin is more convenient regimen for both patients and physicians. Weekly carboplatin may have similar efficacy with weekly cisplatin and may have more favorable toxicity profile. Therefore, the investigators aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of concurrent chemoradiation with weekly carboplatin in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer.
GYNECO 02 hypothesis is that hysterectomy reduces the possibility of local or loco-regional relapse, especially in patient with a reduced metastatic risk and who received a local chemoradiation therapy with an increase of radiotherapy doses (45 grays).
The purpose of this study was to determine an effective and safe dose of sotatercept (ACE-011) for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced anemia (CIA) in participants with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are being treated with first-line platinum based chemotherapy.
This study will provide data on the performance of the BD SurePath Plus™ Pap test for identifying high grade cervical disease. This study will be conducted with approximately 12,500 women undergoing routine cervical cancer screening, of whom women with abnormal cytology and/or positive HPV test will be selected to undergo colposcopy and biopsy/ECC. Subjects with abnormal cytology results with biopsy results of less than or equal to CIN1 or CIN2 untreated will be asked to return in 6-8 months for follow-up testing. Subjects may be asked to proceed to a longer-term follow-up study and undergo cytological evaluation annually for 3 years (separate study).
Among the immune cell therapy, autologous adoptive immune cell therapy is a method to transfer the immune cells derived from peripheral white blood cells and expanded and stimulated with various cytokines and tumor specific antigens in cancer patients. Recently, the low-dose radiation is known to increase the immune response in many human cancer patients. In a clinical trial, 70% response rate with combination of low-dose radiation and adoptive immune cell therapy was reported in recurrent melanoma patients. This study is to investigate the feasibility of combination of low-dose radiation and autologous immune cell therapy in recurrent cervical cancer which is resistant to conventional palliative treatment.
This study will be conducted in two parts. Part 1 will determine whether administration of adavosertib in combination with topotecan and cisplatin is generally well-tolerated and causes clinical objective responses in patients with cervical cancer. Part 1 will also define the recommended Phase 2 dose and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the combination of adavosertib with topotecan and cisplatin. Part 2 of the study will evaluate whether treatment with adavosertib in combination with topotecan and cisplatin causes an improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) compared to treatment with topotecan and cisplatin alone and will further evaluate the tolerability of the combination treatment. The primary hypothesis is the combination of adavosertib, topotecan and cisplatin causes objective radiological responses (assessed per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] 1.1 criteria) in ≥30% of participants. Due to the early termination of the study by the sponsor, no participants were enrolled in Part 2 of the study.
Our primary hypothesis is that [18F]FLT PET can identify active bone marrow in addition to metabolically active tumor. This trial will use FLT-PET imaging to define areas of active bone marrow in the pelvis. The radiation plan is then designed to spare that area, in hopes of keeping the bone marrow active during therapy. Bone marrow and tumor activity will be monitored using a sequence of FLT PET scans during the course of chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
Rationale: Computer systems that allow doctors to create a 3 dimensional (3-D) picture of the tumor may help in planning radiation therapy and may result in more tumor cells being killed. Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Drugs, such as cisplatin, may make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy.
