Active clinical trials for "Recurrence"

A randomized controlled, multicenter, open, seamless phase II-III clinical trial is designed to target patients with resectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with high-risk recurrence factors which has extremely low postoperative recurrence-free survival. In this study, we aim to compare the prognosis in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma between Toripalimab combined with leventinib and GEMOX neoadjuvant treatment and the current clinical surgical treatment (traditional group).

The investigator propose a single-center randomized phase II controlled study designed to compare the management of first recurrence of GBM using etoposide versus tamoxifen.

Women over the age of 60 years have an estimated 10 to 15 % risk of recurrent urinary tract infections (UTI). This is believed to be due to hormonally induced changes in the vaginal flora associated with menopause. After menopause, there is a chemical changes in the vagina that may predispose to bacterial infections. The role of vaginal estrogen creams to restore vaginal atrophy and prevent urinary tract infections has been well characterized. Vaginal testosterone (VT) application use in postmenopausal breast cancer patients on aromatase inhibitors have been shown to improve vaginal pH, vaginal atrophy symptom scores, dyspareunia, and vaginal dryness. Although testosterone has been used to improve sexual function in postmenopausal women, the effects of VT on vaginal flora and recurrent UTIs are unknown. The purpose of this study is to determine whether topically applied vaginal testosterone cream is more effective than placebo in reducing the incidence of urinary tract infections in postmenopausal women with recurrent urinary tract infections and to ascertain the effects of topical estrogen on the vaginal pH and flora.

This is a multicenter, open-label, Phase 1b/2 efficacy and safety study of Berubicin utilizing a Simon's 2-stage design to confirm the efficacy (or futility) of a single arm of Berubicin treatment, administered at the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) identified in Phase 1 studies (7.5 mg/m2 Berubicin HCl), on the endpoint of ORR in up to approximately 61 patients. A central reader will determine the radiologic responses for each patient according to m RANO criteria. The responder criteria for this Simon's design will be based on objective response criteria defined as individual patients achieving CR or PR per m-RANO criteria within 6 months from baseline.

Randomized phase III clinical trial to compare the efficacy of the two most widely used ablation techniques (cryotherapy and radiofrequency) after recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients requiring a new ablation procedure.

This phase II trial studies the effect of nivolumab in urothelial cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic), specifically in patients with aberrations in ARID1A gene (ARID1A mutation) and correlate with expression level of CXCL13, an immune cytokine. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving nivolumab may help control the disease in patients with urothelial cancer or solid tumors. This trial aims at enriching patient selection based on genomic and immunological attributes of the tumor.

A single-arm, single-center, open-labeled study will be conducted with an aim to investigate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of the personalized vaccine for patients with recurrent malignant glioma.

In order to explore the effect of acupuncture on the clinical outcome of IVF-ET in patients with recurrent implantation failure, the patients divide into the experimental group or the control group. In the experimental group, those patients undergo acupuncture at the beginning of embryo transfer cycle three times a week until 14 days after embryo transfer. In the control group, those patients do not receive any treatments during embryo transfer cycle. Statistical analysis of the two groups of primary endpoint and secondary endpoint are done.

A recent study at the Department of Oncology, Vejle Hospital (NCT02399592), investigated bevacizumab and tocotrienol in ovarian cancer patients and concurrently monitored the level of methylated HOXA9 circulating tumor DNA (HOXA9 meth-ctDNA) in the blood. The rate of disease control was 70% with better results than other studies using bevacizumab alone. The toxicity was very low and attributed to bevacizumab only. When the study results were worked up they showed that patients with a significant increase of HOXA9 meth-ctDNA after the first cycle of treatment did not benefit from the treatment whereas those with stable or decreasing HOXA9 meth-ctDNA did. Therefore, in the current study patients with a high increase of HOXA9 meth-ctDNA after the first treatment cycle will discontinue treatment, as it is then considered ineffective. The remaining patients may achieve prolonged survival as predicted by their level of HOXA9 meth-ctDNA.

This phase II trial studies how well acalabrutinib and venetoclax with or without early obinutuzumab work for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma that is high risk, has come back (recurrent), or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Acalabrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Venetoclax may stop the growth cancer cells by blocking BCL-2 protein needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as obinutuzumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving acalabrutinib and venetoclax together with early obinutuzumab may improve clinical outcomes and control the disease.
