Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms"

Tobacco and alcohol are the two major risk factors for upper respiratory tract cancer (VADS).

For patients of GIST (Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor), Imatinib has been widely used in GIST with KIT or PDGFRA sensitive mutations. From clinical points of view, individual differences often occur between different patients, leading diverse effect in ADR and drug effect. Meanwhile, the drug effect and adverse drug reaction was significantly influenced by the pharmacokinetic factors and pharmacodynamic and other factors. In this research, we try to establish a more sensitive method to detect sensitive mutations in plasma and discover the correlation between somatic and germline mutations, plasma trough concentration and drug effect, the association between ADME-associated SNP, Target/Receptor/Pathway-associated SNP, trough concentration and TKI adverse effect. Furthermore, in vivo and in vitro research is also crucial for rational explanation for these clinical phenomenon.

This study suggested an effective application of pattern recognition, which figured the possible biological function of potential bio-markers of rectal cancer found in our study based on their chemical structures. Hence, this study identified the precursor protein and metabolic mechanism of these bio-markers and may contribute to the neoadjuvant chemoradiation of locally advanced rectal cancer

This Study evaluate the effect of Polymorphism in the Excision repair cross-complementing group 5 (ERCC5) (rs1047768 and rs751402) gene on the clinical outcome of Platinum-based regimens used in the treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients

COLLECT is a monocentric, prospective, observational study, which aims to assess the association between changes in the intestinal microbiota and the incidence of gastrointestinal graft-versus-host diseases (GvHD). Patients admitted for performance of an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) or patients with a first diagnosis of an acute myeloid leukemia (AML) will be enrolled and stool samples will be analyzed using next-generation sequencing. In addition to stool, blood and urine samples will be collected for cytokine and 3-indoxylsulfate analysis. Exposure to drugs will not be influenced and remains at the discretion of the treating physician.

Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) has been shown to be a cause of Head & Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) and the majority of current studies focus on what is happening in patients with a HPV HNSCC. But there is limited investigation into HPV infection in the oropharynx of patients who do not have HNSCC. The current incidence of oral HPV infection is not known in the general population locally and there is also limited information on what particular localities within the mouth that patients' harbour HPV infection what strains are present and if there are any differences in viral load. Therefore the aim of this project is to investigate within patients that undergo tonsillectomies the rate of HPV infection in tonsils to determine the amount of HPV present within the community.

Anemia concerns a lot of patients with cancer and affects their quality of life (QOL). Numerous studies in oncology have demonstrated the benefit of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA) in the treatment of anemia. ESAs allow the improvement of QOL,of the hemoglobin level (Hb) and is a validated alternative to transfusion. However, in hematology, if there are some specific recommendations for the use of ESAs in lymphoid pathology, there are none for myeloid disorders and in the context of autografts and allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT). Thus, the investigators are in particular interested in both indications: treatment of anemia in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients treated with chemotherapy, and the in patients receiving a myeloablative or a non-myeloablative conditioning before allogeneic HSCT, whatever type of donor and cell source.

Adjuvant chemotherapy was introduced in patients with early-stage ovarian cancer. The benefit of standard chemotherapeutic regimens including taxane has not been established. This study was conducted to investigate the influences of regimens of front-line chemotherapy on on recurrence and survival for early-stage ovarian adenocarcinoma. Further, the study will analyze cost-effectiveness of different regimens

Tumor is the primary public health problem and the incidence of esophageal cancer showed the increasing trend in the past thirty years. According to the statistics in 2015, the new onset of esophageal cancer is about 477,900 yearly. The mainly pathologic type of esophageal cancer in China is esophageal squamous cell carcinomas, which accounts for more than 90% of patients in China. With the development of endoscopic technics, more and more patients choose to receive the endoscopic procedure rather than traditional surgery. However, the long-term efficacy and outcomes of patients with superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma received different interventions remained unclear. Thus, investigators aim to conduct a multi-center retrospective study to investigate the long term outcomes of superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients receiving endoscopic treatment and surgery.

The median age of onset of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in chronic phase PC is about 60 years. However CML affects all age groups including 18-25 year olds, called adult-young adolescents (AJA). In France, there is no record of CML and especially not for this particular population, only a European Register of CML in children up to 18 years has been set up under the coordination of Professor "Frederic Millot", pediatrics, CHU Poitiers. Malignancies diagnosed in this population usually have characteristics, evolution, therapeutic strategies with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are a real therapeutic revolution with an overall survival very significantly augmented but at present only a minority of patients may one day consider a final judgment of treatment. AJA are the most exposed patients to the complications, the socio-economic repercussions, professional and personal of a very long-term treatment. But there is little data in the literature concerning this population. Two studies show that diagnosis of CML presents with poor prognostic factors (high skoal), the observed responses are poorer compared to older patients but it is accompanied difference in survival in all cases with a decline of about 70 mois. However, these studies have focused solely on the patients included in the study receiving optimized treatment is not the standard treatment at the time. It is clearly demonstrated that the inclusion in a study brings a benefit to the patient. However, the majority of AJA are not included in a study. The investigators therefore want to describe the AYA population of CML in France and compare the evolution of patients included or not in a protocol. The investigators also want to investigate specific issues of the age of these patients as the reproductive desire. Indeed, while it does not seem to be any risk of teratogenicity for men treated with ITK, this risk is clearly established for women and requires specific supported. Another important point is that of the quality of life. The state of physical and mental health and his feelings, physical activity and its limitations and well-being was assessed by the SF-3612 questionnaire. The results of this analysis were compared with those already obtained for the general population (not representative of Italian adults with cancer sample) and adjusted for sex, age, geographic region, marital status and education level . There seems to be young people and women who express a feeling more pejorative. This does not only covers the frequency of side effects but also on physical activity and well-being. the affected population will be noted that that is particularly involved in the social, professional and in the development of his personal life. The impact of treatment on quality of life must be considered under penalty of seeing the difficulties of compliance. But several studies have demonstrated the negative impact of poor adherence in response to treatments .
