Active clinical trials for "Recurrence"

This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of high dose inorganic selenium in preventing and relieving chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) in platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian, fallopian, or primary peritoneal cancer patients. This study will be conducted as a phase III randomized controlled trial in platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian, fallopian, or primary peritoneal cancer patients who are expected to undergo paclitaxel-carboplatin chemotherapy. A total of 68 patients need to be enrolled in this study. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the frequency of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. The secondary objectives are the evaluation of the severity of peripheral neuropathy and the quality of life to show that selenium is effective in preventing and relieving peripheral neuropathy induced by paclitaxel. Positive results in this study will lead to further studies investigating the effect of selenium on other chemotherapies that can induce peripheral neuropathy.

Recurrent implantation failure (RIF), defined as the absence of clinical pregnancy after the transfer of three good-quality embryos, concerns up to 40% of IVF couples and is associated with a low success rate. The causes remain unexplained in over 50% of cases. Various dysimmune changes (related to immune T cells profiles, pro-inflammatory cytokines levels) have been described in unexplained RIF as compared to fertile controls, and it has been estimated that such dysimmunity may occur in 50% of unexplained RIFs. Previous data on a benefit of general immune modulation by steroids or immunoglobulins are heterogenous and failed to demonstrate clinically significant benefit. The proinflammatory cytokine Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) α participates in the regulation of the immune balance of the endometrium, its peripheral blood and endometrial concentrations are increased in RIF patients as compared to fertile controls. In 2009, a pilot placebo controlled study showed that TNF-α antagonist treatment allowed a 56% live birth rate (versus 13% in controls) in 13 women with unexplained RIF. Due to the lack of maternal and fetal tolerance data, TNF-α antagonists were not further evaluated. Today, safety data issued from 1200 pregnancies are reassuring allowing the use of TNF-α antagonists during pregnancy (www.lecrat.org). In addition the TNF-α antagonist certolizumab does not cross the placental barrier. We hypothesize that certolizumab may improve clinical pregnancy rates in women with unexplained RIF with a good safety profile.

This is a phase 2 study investigating the efficacy of ramucirumab in combination with pembrolizumab compared to pembrolizumab monotherapy. Ramucirumab is a VEGFR-2 inhibitor believed to potentially enhance the efficacy of PD-1 inhibitors such as pembrolizumab.

Neuroblastoma is an embryonal tumor originated from primitive neural crest cells. It is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children. It is characterized by abundant blood vessels, rapid growth and early metastasis.With the gradual improvement of diagnosis and treatment technology, the survival rate of children with Neuroblastoma in China has been increasing year by year, but the Overall Survival is still lower than that in European and American countries, so new and efficient treatment methods are urgently needed in clinical practice.Anti-angiogenesis target therapy is an important component of the malignant tumor treatment, hydrochloric acid for Anlotinib has the anti-tumor angiogenesis and suppress tumor growth, Anlotinib currently in thyroid carcinoma, esophageal cancer, liver cancer, colorectal cancer, soft nest, cervical cancer, soft tissue sarcoma and so on the many kinds of cancer are conducting clinical trials, but in neuroblastoma application has not been reported.The purpose of this study was to explore the therapeutic effect and mechanism of Anlotinib and irinotecan combined with temozolomide in the treatment of refractory or recurrent Neuroblastoma in children.Neuroblastoma is an embryonal tumor originated from primitive neural crest cells. It is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children. It is characterized by abundant blood vessels, rapid growth and early metastasis.It accounts for 8%-10% of all malignant tumors in children, with an annual incidence of 0.3-5.5/100,000.The prognosis of Neuroblastoma was closely related to age at diagnosis, clinical stage, tumor pathological type, N-myc gene copy number and DNA index.According to the above five indicators, the Children's Oncology Group divided NB into low, medium and high risk groups.According to the 2013 Children's Oncology Group data, the current 5-year Overall Survival of low - and moderate-risk Neuroblastoma patients was 90%, while the Overall Survival of high-risk patients was only 50%.The current treatment of Neuroblastoma is a multidisciplinary combination of surgery, chemoradiotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation.With the gradual improvement of diagnosis and treatment technology, the survival rate of children with NB in China has been increasing year by year, but the Overall Survival is still lower than that in European and American countries, so new and efficient treatment methods are urgently needed in clinical practice.

Phase 2a, prospective, randomized, double-blind, intra-subject, placebo-controlled, proof of concept study. Approximately twenty subjects will be randomized 1:1 to one of two treatment arms: Arm A: 2.0 mg/cm OLX10010 biweekly (every two weeks) Arm B: 5.0 mg/cm OLX10010 biweekly (every two weeks) Each treatment arm will have approximately 10 subjects. Each subject will receive both active (OLX10010) and control (placebo) treatment post-hypertrophic scar surgery biweekly (every two weeks) for a total of six doses. Dosing will occur post-surgery on Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12. Post-treatment follow-up visits will occur at Weeks 18 and 24, and a long-term follow-up visit will occur at Month 12. The Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (both physician and patient scales), Stony Brook Scar Evaluation Scale, Vancouver Scar Scale, and a photograph-based visual analog scale by blinded experts will be completed prior to scar revision surgery, at Weeks 2, 8, 12, 18, and 24, and at Month 12. The overall opinion responses on the physician scales of the POSAS at Week 24 will be used for primary endpoint analysis. The total length of the linear hypertrophic scar line will be divided equally for treatment with OLX10010 and placebo, injected intradermally per centimeter (cm). The OLX10010 end and placebo end of the scar line will be separated by a 2 cm or greater distance depending on the scar length. After the Week 24 visit, all data collected will be cleaned and all data management activities will be completed. After the database is frozen/locked, the primary endpoint efficacy analysis will be completed. If at least one of the treatment arms are shown to be appropriate to reduce recurrence of hypertrophic scars, all analyses will be performed. If the efficacy analysis of Arms A and B indicate the study doses are not as effective as expected, the sponsor may decide to add a third arm (Arm C) to explore the weekly dosing regimen. See detailed summary. Subjects in all study arms will continue in the study until their Month 12 visit. After all subjects complete that visit, data are collected, and data management activities are completed, Month 12 data will be analyzed.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection has become one of the most important health problems faced by women all over the world. A large number of studies have shown that women's cervical, vaginal and perianal precancerous lesions, related cancers, condyloma acuminatum and other sexually transmitted diseases (STD) are closely related to HPV infection. Among them, the persistent infection of high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) is closely related to the occurrence of invasive cervical cancer. Previous studies have shown that there are significant differences in the effects of multiple HPV infection and persistent infection of different types (such as type-16, -18, -39 and -52) on different levels of cervical lesions, and there is a certain correlation between HPV load in the process of persistent infection and the degree of cervical lesions. In addition, other studies have shown that HPV-16 viral load has certain clinical significance in predicting Cin2 / CIN3 high-grade cervical lesions, and HPV viral load level is significantly different in cervical low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) and cervical high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL). The above biological changes such as HPV infection type, quantity and proportion can promote the occurrence and development of cervical precancerous lesions and related cancers to varying degrees. It can be seen that the study of the relationship between HPV viral load and cervical lesions is of great significance for clinical disease development prediction and cervical cancer screening.

The TASTEPRO pilot trial evaluates the feasibility of PSMA PET-CT (Computer tomography) targeted stereotactic radiation therapy (SABR) in management of lymph node positive prostate cancer recurrence after radical prostatectomy. Targeted SABR is compared to current standard; template-based salvage radiation therapy. The investigators expect SABR to be of equal or better oncological outcome compared to the standard therapy with less radiation-induced side-effects. Results of the pilot trial will be used when designing larger trials on oncological efficacy and safety of PSMA PET-CT targeted SABR.

This research is being done to test whether the investigational drug marizomib is safe and effective when used in combination with standard of care drugs for the treatment of multiple myeloma.

The evidence base relating to the use of SCAP and HIFU is poor, with significant uncertainties relating to long-term oncological outcomes. One of the main limitations when the few studies reported are analyzed is the lack of information about the histopathology both before starting treatment and at the time of recurrence after cryotherapy. The vast majority of studies refer only to BCR-free survival as end point, thus limiting interpretation of real oncological performance of this technique. Furthermore, side effects vary widely from study to study and there are uncertainties about the real morbidity associated to cryotherapy in the salvage setting. Another important hot issue in this scenario is the potential benefit that new imaging and diagnosis techniques (MRI, targeted biopsy, PSMA) may add for a more accurate indication. This could provide the possibility of better results for SCAP. The clinical value of this new diagnostic tools is unknown in this scenario and needs to be explored.

This clinical trial constructs and tests a novel multinuclear metabolic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequence in patients with glioma (brain tumor) that is newly diagnosed or has come back (recurrent). This trial aims to develop new diagnostic imaging technology that may bridge gaps between early detection and diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment in brain cancer.
