Active clinical trials for "Recurrence"

The aim of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of 64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA and determine the ability of 64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA Positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) to correctly detect the recurrence of prostate cancer in participants with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer following definitive therapy.

This randomized phase II trial studies how well nivolumab or expectant observation following ipilimumab, nivolumab, and surgery work in treating patients with high-risk mucosal melanoma that is restricted to the site of origin without evidence of spread, has spread to a local and regional area of the body, or has come back. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Sometimes the mucosal melanoma may not need more treatment until it progresses. In this case, observation may be sufficient. It is not known if nivolumab or expectant observation following ipilimumab, nivolumab, and surgery may be better in treating patients with mucosal melanoma.

This phase II trial studies how well nivolumab works in treating patients with stage IV lung cancer or that has come back after initial treatment who has high mutation loads. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may block tumor growth in different ways by targeting certain cells.

Previous studies have shown that the removal of the chest tube after lung surgery significantly improves pain symptoms and lung function. The criteria for chest tube removal still remain vague in modern thoracic surgery and rely on personal experience instead of evidence-based criteria. Every hospital has its own traditional standard fluid threshold and believes in that without adapting and comparing it not even after introduction of newer and more minimal-invasive operation technique. According to literature the traditional fluid threshold is varying from 100 to 500 or even more millilitre in 24 hours. Since pleural fluid resorption is proportional to body weight the investigators believe that a body weight related approach of chest tube management would improve safety and would allow an earlier chest tube removal without a higher rate of complication. In this way the investigators believe in improving pain management and in achieving earlier discharge of the patient.

Subjects with recurrent C. difficile infection will receive an oral dose of CP101 capsules one time in Treatment Group I or matching placebo one time in Treatment Group II. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of CP101 to prevent recurrence of C. difficile. Subjects with confirmed C. difficile recurrence within 8 weeks after administration of study drug (CP101 or placebo) may be eligible to enroll in the open-label extension study (CP101-CDI-E02) and will receive CP101.

Available studies suggest that regional anesthesia-analgesia may decrease the occurrence of recurrence/metastasis in patients after cancer surgery. However, evidences from prospective studies are still lacking. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effect of epidural anesthesia-analgesia on recurrence-free survival in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of veliparib when given together with capecitabine and temozolomide in treating patients with neuroendocrine tumor that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment, has returned after a period of improvement, and cannot be removed by surgery. Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine and temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Combined Intravesical Therapy With Hyaluronic Acid and Chondroitin Sulphate in the Treatment of Recurrent Cystitis Refractory to Escherichia Coli Extract

This phase II trial studies how well sotrastaurin acetate works in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, small lymphocytic leukemia, prolymphocytic leukemia, or Richter's transformation that has returned or that does not respond to treatment. Sotrastaurin acetate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

This study will assess the extent of postpartum smoking relapse among Romanian women, the associated risk factors, and will develop, implement, and pilot-test a randomized trial smoking relapse intervention incorporating innovative research concepts in a social and cultural acceptable manner. The primary hypothesis is that the intervention will increase mothers' smoking abstinence rates.
