Active clinical trials for "Recurrence"

Patients diagnosed with glioblastoma (GBM) are faced with limited treatment options. This pilot study will evaluate the safety and feasibility of combining an investigational drug called 5-ALA with neuronavigation-guided low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) for patients who have recurrent GBM. Focused ultrasound (FUS) can be used to non-invasively destroy tumor tissue while preserving normal tissue. When FUS is combined with 5-ALA, this combinatorial approach is called sonodynamic therapy (SDT), and this investigational therapy is being tested for its ability to cause damage to GBM cells. SDT will take place prior to surgery for recurrent GBM.

Evaluation of efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab in combination with lenvatinib in patients with recurrent, persistent, metastatic or locally advanced vulva cancer.

Venous tinnitus (VT) is seriously affecting the quality of life of five million patients in China. Bony wall reconstruction is the main treatment method, but the postoperative recurrence rate exceeds 30%, and the specific mechanism is unclear. Based on our previous work, a scientific hypothesis was put forward: the key to the recurrence of V T is pathologic remodeling of the peri-sinus bony wall mediated by the venous sinus morphology, blood flow, and pressure after surgical reconstruction. As a continuation of the National Natural Science Foundation of China-Youth Project, this project intends to combine multimodal imaging technology, multiphysics coupled numerical model and machine learning method to analyze analyze the data after bone wall reconstruction in multiple dimensions: ① To explore the influence of peri-sinus bony wall morphology, venous sinus morphology, intra-sinus blood flow, intra-sinus pressure, and cerebral perfusion on the recurrence of VT using ultra-high resolution CT, vessel wall MR, 4D Flow MR and ASL MR imaging technology; ② To explore the influence of blood flow impact, sinus wall pressure and peri-sinus bone wall deformation on the recurrence of VT using multiphysics coupling numerical model with vessel, blood flow, bone and acoustic fields; ③ To determine the risk factors and their weights of VT recurrence using machine learning methods, and to establish a personalized surgical planning and prognostic evaluation models; Thus, to verify the hemodynamic and biomechanical mechanisms of VPT recurrence to achieve personalized and effectively treatment. This project may prevent and warn the recurrence of VPT after bony wall reconstruction.

This study screened and identified effective methylation markers in breast cancer, established a detection system for early screening and early diagnosis, and provided a research basis for the embryonic form of non-invasive breast cancer early screening products in later incubation. Then, the plasma ctDNA polygene methylation test was performed for early and middle stage breast cancer patients who were to receive radical surgery for initial treatment, and the predictive effect of postoperative plasma ctDNA methylation status on postoperative prognosis of breast cancer was discussed. In addition, the application value of dynamic monitoring of ctDNA methylation in plasma for postoperative recurrence risk monitoring was explored through regular postoperative follow-up of stage I-III breast cancer patients undergoing radical surgery.

This study is a multicenter RCT to compare 3-year overall survival(OS) rate, progression free survival(PFS),local progression free survival(LPFS),regional progression free survival(RPFS),distant metastasis free survival(DMFS), and toxicities of endonasal endoscopic surgery versus IMRT.

Apatinib, also known as YN968D1, is a small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that selectively binds to and inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2). This study aims to collect clinical, radiological and histopathology imaging including detailed radiological data, survival data, clinical parameters, molecular pathology and images of HE slices in patients with recurrent gliomas whose are treated with Apatinib, for evaluating the efficacy and safety of Apatinib. Moreover, by leveraging artificial intelligence, this study seeks to construct and refine MR and histopathology imaging based algorithms that are able to predict the responses to Apatinib of patients with recurrent gliomas.

The study is looking at the role of the mesentery in disease recurrence for ileocolic Crohn's disease. It is a prospective study that has been designed to perform extended mesenteric excision on patients undergoing their first ileocolic resection for Crohn's disease. Endoscopic recurrence will be monitored with the hypothesis that patients receiving extended mesenteric ileocolic resection will have reduced endoscopic recurrence at 6 months after resection. (limited mesenteric resection).

This is a pilot study to test the feasibility of implementing a strict classic ketogenic diet among a population of children with recurrent or progressive and refractory brain tumors. Eligible participants will be admitted to the neurosciences floor for 5 days to begin the ketogenic diet either orally, by gastrostomy tube or via nasogastric tube. During the inpatient stay, they will be extensively educated on the diet restrictions and rules. Participants will then continue on the diet at home returning about 17 times over the next 12 months. Daily logs will be kept tracking diet changes, bowel movements and urine ketones. Blood will be collected during the inpatient stay and at all visits for both standard clinical care and research testing.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, side effects and benefits of autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocytes(TIL) specific to personalized Neo-antigens in the treatment of patients with recurrent, metastatic and advanced solid tumors.

The PROMOTE study aims at optimising use of hormonal therapy in advanced stage and recurrent endometrial cancer analysing tumor tissue taken before start of hormonal therapy
