Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms"

To explore the efficacy and safety of apatinib in non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer in the real-world.

Endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) in the colon using an over-the-scope clip (OTSC) as a closure mechanism is a recent technique that allows the endoscopic resection of colonic lesions that are poor candidates for conventional endoscopic resection techniques. The aim is to study the safety and efficacy of EFTR in colon.

Bone metastases appear in many cancers. They are associated with severe pain that is refractory to standard treatment. Improving the quality of life and better pain relief is therefore an essential goal of the treatment of metastatic disease. The most common site of long bone metastases is the superior femoral epiphysis. The usual management of patients with bone metastases in the superior femoral epiphysis is based on gamma implant osteosynthesis when there is a known risk of fracture (Mirels score> 8). Nonetheless this surgery is only accessible to a few patients because of the associated morbidities. Percutaneous cementoplasty has been developed to treat patients who are not eligible for conventional surgery. It consists in a filling of the bone cavity created by metastasis using an acrylic resin. However, these approaches do not completely prevent the risk of upper femoral epiphyseal fracture due to the low mechanical resistance of the resin to shear movements. The Y-STRUT® implantable medical device was developed to overcome this risk of superior femoral epiphyseal fracture by the biomechanical strengthening of the proximal femur in addition to cementoplasty. It has been successfully tested in more than 70 patients with cancer but access to reimbursement and the APHP market have been postponed due to lack of sufficient clinical evidence. The investigators propose this prospective phase 2a study in order to provide evidence of the performance of the Y-STRUT® implant.

The incidence of node metastases in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is high, ranging from 20% to 90%. Prophylactic central lymph node compartment dissection (CLND), suggested from the latest guidelines for high-risk tumors, meets resistance due to the high incidence of postoperative complications. Recently, new molecular biologic techniques, such as One Step Nucleic Acid Amplification (OSNA), have spread widely, allowing to quickly isolate, amplify and quantify mRNA encoding for proteins selectively present in neoplastic cells, as Cytokeratine-19. The aim of this study is to evaluate the application of OSNA to intraoperative diagnosis of node metastases of PTC.

Right colectomy (hemicolectomy) involves the removal of the cecum, the ascending colon, the hepatic flexure, the first one-third of the transverse colon, part of the terminal ileum, and the associated regional fat and lymph nodes, and is the accepted treatment for malignant neoplasms of the right colon. A minimally invasive approach is commonly used for right colectomy, with studies reporting reduced complications, less blood loss, and hospital stay when compared to an open approach. However, there remains controversy regarding whether robotic assistance is advantageous for this technique and whether an intracorporeal (ICA) or extracorporeal anastomosis (ECA) is best. MIRCAST is a prospective, observational, international, multi-center, 4-parallel-cohorts study. Sites or surgeons will select a cohort of the study for which they are qualified. Four cohorts will be the subject of study: Robotic Right Colectomy with ICA Robotic Right Colectomy with ECA Laparoscopic Right Colectomy with ICA Laparoscopic Right Colectomy with ECA All patient assessments will be done according to the sites standard of care. Parameters routinely recorded during right colectomy surgery will be collected prospectively. Enrolled subjects will undergo assessments at the following intervals: pre-operative, operative, discharge, 30 days, 3 months, 1 year and 2 years post-surgery.

Pancreatic cancer progresses rapidly and has a higher death rate. Albumin-bound paclitaxel is a new generation of paclitaxel . Albumin-bound paclitaxel is recommended as a class 1A evidence treating patients with pancreatic cancer.The purpose of this study was to further observe and evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of albumin-bound paclitaxel in the treatment of non-operative locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer and to explore the prognostic factors .

Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is an effective, minimally invasive therapy that is widely used for unresectable colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRC-LM) treatment. Chemoembolization, however, induces a hypoxic micro-environment, which increases neo-angiogenesis, and may promote early progression. For this reason, efficacy may be improved by associating TACE with an angiogenesis inhibitor, such as bevacizumab. The use of FOLFIRI associate to Bevacizumab is part of clinical practice and is commonly used for the therapy of patients with CRC-LM both wild type and mutant. This case-control observational study aim to compare patients treated with TACE using Irinotecan-loaded embolics followed by systemic Bevacizumab versus patients treated with FILFIRI+ Bevacizumab

Conduct a prospective study in multicenter to confirm the value of circulating tumor DNA in longitudinal monitoring of stage III-IV lung cancer patients.

For the appropriate individualized treatment of T1-stage renal cell carcinoma with heterogeneous biological features, the expression of PBRM1, SETD2, BAP1, KDM5C and the newly proposed FOXC2 and CLIP4, are compared with clinical features. The investigators evaluated the efficacy of FOXC2 and CLIP4 as prognostic biomarkers and developed a high risk prediction model based on these results. In a previous study, the investigators evaluated the efficacy of FOXC2 and CLIP4 as prognostic biomarkers and reported their association with synchronous metastasis in renal cell carcinomas less than 7 cm in size. The investigators analyzed the expression level of renal cell carcinoma according to the size and malignancy (Fuhrman grade) of renal cell carcinoma in T1-stage clear cell type renal cell carcinoma of tumor size less than 7cm. The aim of this study was to analyze the association of tumor recurrence or metastasis, cancer specific survival rate, overall survival rate, tumor size, malignancy and T stage in postoperative biopsy. For expression analysis, PCR amplification and bidirectional Sanger sequencing and mRNA expression analysis (qRT-PCR) were used. For statistical analysis, Fisher exact test, Wilcoxon exact 2-tailed test, Cox proportional hazard regression analysis and competing risk method were used. In this study, the investigators compared the expression of PBRM1, SETD2, BAP1, and KDM5 with newly proposed biomarkers, FOXC2 and CLIP4 and demonstrate the prognostic value of FOXC2 and CLIP4 as new prognostic biomarkers and compared the clinical outcomes with the clinical outcome. Based on these results, the investigators propose a high risk prediction model for individualized treatment of T1-stage renal cell carcinoma. This study is expected to establish a new prediction model and molecular biologic stage for risk stratification of T1-stage renal cell carcinoma patients and apply genetic test for selection of optimal tailored treatment for T1-stage renal cell carcinoma. In addition, it will be an important basic data of the molecular biologic mechanism of metastasis in early renal cell carcinoma and may be used as a basic data for the development and selection of customized therapeutic agents in patients with distant metastasis.

ICU care of patients considered "palliative" but without contraindications to admission to intensive care, for whom a do-not intubate order decision was made upon admission represents a particular target for non-invasive oxygenation techniques. The benefits of non invasive ventilation (NIV) in this population are debated especially in cancer patients. The more recently used nasal humidified high flux canula oxygenation (HFNC) therapy may have benefits over NIV in these patients. It is supposed to have better tolerance and could allow better compliance and thus higher efficiency. These potential benefits are major for such a population for which tolerance and symptomatic relief are priority goals
