Active clinical trials for "Recurrence"

Esophageal cancer is the sixth most common cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Esophageal adenocarcinoma has become more common in Western countries. In many Asian countries, however, Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ESCC) represents the most common esophageal cancer. In palliative chemotherapy for metastatic or recurrent ESCC, A combination of 5-fluorouracil and platinum was prescribed as a standard treatment for about 20 years. With this traditional regimen, the median progression free survival is approximately 7 months, and 1-year survival rate is reported to be 34%. Combinations of taxane and anthracycline are also considerable, but also shows the median survival less than one year. Though cytotoxic chemotherapy is current main treatment option, molecularly targeted agents are recently incorporated to improve survival in ESCC. There is a strong rationale for investigation of biologic agents targeting Epithelial Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) family in ESCC. EGFR is frequently overexpressed in esophageal cancer and is known to be associated with poor prognosis. Several EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have been studied in esophageal cancer subjects and have shown clinical effects. In a recent Phase II trial using dacomitinib, pan-human epidermal growth receptor TKI, Partial response was observed in 10 of the 49 esophageal cancer subjects, with a response rate of 20.8%. Based on notable rationale in exploring impact of EGFR inhibition, we suggest multicenter phase II study to determine antitumor activity and safety of a other potent pan-HER inhibitor, Poziotinib in Esophageal Squamous cell carcinoma.

In the Danish Recurrent Pregnancy Loss Unit in Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is defined as three og more consecutive pregnancy losses in accordance with current European guidelines. RPL affects approximately 3% of couples trying to achieve parenthood. Most cases of RPL are unexplained and have no effective treatment to improve the chance of a live birth. 42% of the women referred to RPL Unit in Rigshospitalet has a high stress level where as it's 22% in the background population trying to achieve parenthood. It's also known that 8,8 % of RPL patients have a depression at referral where as it's 2,2 % in the background population trying to achieve parenthood. The study is a RCT including 62 patients - 31 in each arm. One arm will be taught in meditation and mindfulness three courses over a 7 week period. This group will also do meditation every day for 7 weeks. The other arm will have no intervention. This study will investigate if a 7 weeks course in meditation and mindfulness is a useful tool to reduce stress and the psychological consequences for women and their partner treated in RPL Unit in Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen. Furthermore this study will investigate if there's a marital benefit such as reinforcement in their relationsship from practicing meditation and mindfulness. There is no previous study that has investigated meditation and mindfulness for RPL. This study has the potential to establish mental health support as a supplement to the medical and clinical treatment for RPL patients.

This study is intend to improve the progression-free survial of the recurrent paltinum-resistant ovarian cancer. All the participants will receive camrelizumab combined with apatinib.

Juvenile recurrent parotitis (JRP) is an inflammatory disease characterized by recurrent painful swelling of the Parotid gland in the pediatric age. A watchful waiting treatment strategy was acceptable for most children; however, recent studies claimed that a sialoendoscopic intervention may stop the recurrent flare-ups. The Objective of our study: To determine the effectiveness of sialoendoscopy vs. conservative therapy ('watch and wait') alone for Juvenile Recurrent Parotitis Research Endpoints: The study's endpoints will evaluate frequency and severity of flare-ups before and after treatment and Quality of Life parameters as evaluated according to life-quality questionnaires.

Multicenter Phase II study on Decitabine-Carboplatin combination in platinum resistant ovarian cancer patients. Patients will receive study treatment until disease progression is documented, extraordinary medical circumstances occur, intolerable toxicities occur, or the patient withdraws consent.

This study is a pilot study of biomarker-driven targeted therapy in patients with platinum-resistant recurrent ovarian cancer. More specifically, this is a randomized, multi-center, open label, phase II study for Homologous Recombination Deficiency(HRD)+ patients and a biomarker-driven multiple-arm phase II study for Homologous Recombination Deficiency(HRD)- patients. This study will consist of a number of study modules (substudies), each evaluating the antitumor activity of targeted agents in patients whose tumors express specific phenotype relevant to the molecules under investigation.

Exploring the efficacy and safety of Anlotinib in patients with relapsed small cell lung cancer

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of olaparib when given with hyperthermia in treating patients with breast cancer that has come back in the chest wall. Olaparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Hyperthermia treatment may kill or damage tumor cells by heating them to several degrees above normal body temperature. Giving olaparib and hyperthermia treatment may work better in treating patients with breast cancer that has come back in the chest well compared to standard of care.

The optimum duration of intravenous antibiotic therapy for culture-proven neonatal bacterial sepsis is not known. Current practices, ranging from 7 days to 14 days of antibiotics, are not evidence-based. This is a randomized, active -controlled, multi-centric, non-inferiority trial to compare the efficacy of a 7-day course of intravenous antibiotics versus a 14-day course among neonates weighing > 1000 g at birth with culture-proven bacterial sepsis that is uncomplicated by meningitis, bone or joint infections deep-seated abscesses. The primary outcome measure is a definite or probable relapse within 21 days after stoppage of antibiotics.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of SHR8008 capsule In Subjects With Recurrent Vulvovaginal Candidiasis
