Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

With the advent of immunotherapy, standard first-line treatment for patients with renal cell carcinoma is now an association with an immune checkpoint inhibitor. In this context, the association axitinib plus pembrolizumab has already been evaluated in several studies with positive results for Progression Free survival, Overall survival and Complete response. The combo received a positive opinion from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use, and the European Commission approves the extension of Marketing Authorization in first line for metastatic renal cell carcinoma patients. In a context of treatment with a new association, it is important to manage the toxicities closely in order to allow the patients to have an optimal treatment. The underlying hypothesis is that the use of new information and communication technologies could improve clinical patient management. In this study, we wish assess the impact of monitoring via the web application KidneyPRO on the quality of life of patients with the new combination of treatment axitinib/pembrolizumab for a renal cell carcinoma in first line.

This is an exploratory study to assess [18F]PT2385 Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC). This is an open-label, nontherapeutic trial. The main objective is to correlate hypoxia-inducible factor-2alpha (HIF2α) levels as determined by an investigational [18F]PT2385 PET/CT scan with the levels on subsequently obtained tissue by HIF2α immunohistochemistry (IHC). There will be three cohorts. The first pre-surgical cohort will have [18F]PT2385 PET/CT prior to nephrectomy. The uptake and retention on Positron Emission Tomography (PET), quantified as standardized uptake value (SUV) max and mean, abbreviated SUV henceforth will be correlated with HIF2α levels by IHC on the primary tumor. The second cohort will comprise patients with metastatic clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC). SUV will be correlated with HIF2α levels measured by IHC on a biopsy sample from a metastasis. Both low- and high-avidity sites will be biopsied and tracer uptake correlated with HIF2α IHC. A third cohort will include patients with Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome and any of the following disease manifestations - RCC, central nervous system (CNS) hemangioblastoma, and/or pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor(s). Investigational imaging will evaluate HIF2α expression within a tumor type and across different tumor types. A biopsy is encouraged but not mandatory for this cohort.

The purpose of this study is to explore whether administration of preservative free artificial tears will decrease the level of detectable radioiodine in the tears and nasolacrimal duct system of patients undergoing radioiodine therapy for thyroid carcinoma and thus decrease the risk of developing radioactive iodine associated nasolacrimal duct obstruction.

To study the difference in the proportion of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma who lost more than 10% of their body weight within 1 month after radiotherapy and chemotherapy using the mobile platform for whole-process individualized nutritional rehabilitation management compared with conventional nutritional rehabilitation management.

Radiotherapy is one of the main treatments for head and neck Carcinoma. The incidence of radiotherapy-related adverse events is greater than 90%, and severe adverse events may lead to the interruption of radiotherapy. Interruption of radiotherapy on the one hand affects the efficacy of tumor treatment, on the other hand seriously affects the quality of life of patients. Investigators intend to conduct a randomized, controlled clinical study of multidisciplinary nutritional and psychological care for patients receiving radiotherapy for head and neck carcinoma, with a view to reducing the rate of radiotherapy interruption and improving the quality of life of patients with radiotherapy for head and neck carcinoma through a whole-course multidisciplinary care model.

The study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, radiation dosimetry and pharmacokinetics 89Zr-TLX250 (also known as 89Zr-DFO-girentuximab) Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) in adult Chinese patients with indeterminate renal masses or Suspected Recurrent Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma is the sixth most common malignant tumor in the world. Cervical lymph node metastasis is frequently encounted on the date of diagnosis. Surgical resection is one of the most important treatment methods for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma with or without lymph node metastasis. At present, for cN0 patients, prophylactic neck dissection is recommended for squamous cell carcinoma originating in suprglottic, hypopharyngeal and oropharyngeal areas et al. Related studies reported that less than 30% of patients with cN0 were confirmed to have lymph node metastasis in postoperative pathological examination, who underwent neck dissection. Unnecessary neck dissection may increase complication incidence, such as neurovascular injury, chylous leakage, sialosyrinx. Accurate preoperative assessment is helpful to reduce unnecessary neck dissection. Sentinel lymph node biopsy were proved to be effective in reducing prophylactic lymph node dissection in breast cancer, melanoma and other malignant tumors. Compared with γ probe detection and indolyanine green injection, microbubble and contrast-enhanced ultrasound has no radiation and disturbance to resection margins in sentinel lymph nodes detection. Furthermore, surgeons could conduct lymph node puncture biopsy simultaneously under ultrasound guidance, which can further minimize surgical trauma. At present, the role of microbubble and contrast-enhanced ultrasound in sentinel lymph node detection and biopsy is rarely reported in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. This study aims to explore the accuracy of peritumoral microbubbles and contrast-enhanced ultrasound for sentinel lymph nodes biopsy in predicting cervical lymph node metastasis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

This randomized phase IIB trial studies how well tamoxifen or afimoxifene works in treating patients with estrogen receptor positive breast cancer. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using tamoxifen citrate or afimoxifene may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells.

Locally Advanced Anal Canal Squamous Carcinoma Patients will be enrolled and given four cycles of neoadjuvant PD-1 antibody toripalimab combined with docetaxol and cisplatin, followed by radiotherapy and two cycles of concurrent toripalimab. Treatment outcomes and toxicities will be evaluated.

This clinical trial aims to see if patients with triple negative breast cancer can complete a biobehavioral stress reduction program that also addresses health related social needs (e.g., utilities, transportation, etc.). The stress reduction program is over ten weeks and includes stress reduction (e.g., progressive muscle relaxation), coping, problem solving, communication, and social support. Health related social needs will be evaluated at the beginning of the study, and referrals will be made to social work to help address those needs. The study will examine stress as reported by the patients and also use biological markers.
