Active clinical trials for "Recurrence"

This phase III trial compares the effect of the combination of ramucirumab and pembrolizumab versus standard of care chemotherapy for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer that is stage IV or that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Ramucirumab is a monoclonal antibody that may prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs 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. This trial may help doctors find out if giving ramucirumab with pembrolizumab is more effective at treating patients with stage IV or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer than standard chemotherapy.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of resistance exercise and endurance in post-bariatric surgery patients with insuficcient weight loss. The main question it aims to answer is: Is resistance exercise more effective than endurance exercise in preventing obesity relapse in post-bariatric surgery patients with insuficcient weight loss? Is resistance exercise more effective than endurance exercise in increasing resting metabolic rate in post-bariatric surgery patients with insuficcient weight loss? Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the following groups: Resistance group: performing resistance exercise-training for 16 weeks Endurace group: performing endurance exercise-training for 16 weeks Control group: no intervention / standard medical care

This is a prospective phase 2 study to use Functional Precision Oncology (FPO) to predict, prevent and treat early metastatic recurrence in subjects with HR-low/Her2 negative or triple negative breast cancer.

This phase II ComboMATCH treatment trial compares the usual treatment of modified leucovorin, fluorouracil and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX6) chemotherapy to using binimetinib plus mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy to shrink tumors in patients with biliary tract cancers that have spread to other places in the body (advanced) and had progression of cancer after previous treatments (2nd line setting). Fluorouracil is in a class of medications called antimetabolites. It works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells in the body. Oxaliplatin is in a class of medications called platinum-containing antineoplastic agents. It works by killing tumor cells. Leucovorin may help the other drugs in the mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy regimen work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drugs. Binimetinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of the abnormal protein that signals tumor cells to multiply. This helps to stop or slow the spread of tumor cells. Giving binimetinib in combination with mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy may be effective in shrinking or stabilizing advanced biliary tract cancers in the 2nd line setting.

The purpose of this research study is to test the proportion of tumor response to the combination treatment with niraparib and bevacizumab and see what effects (good and bad) this combination treatment has on patients with recurrent endometrial or ovarian cancer with ARID1A mutation.

Patients with recurrent pericarditis who are refractory or intolerant to current therapeutic management options or who require long-term administration of corticosteroids to control their disease are particularly challenging to manage. The pathogenesis of pericarditis involves the activation of the inflammasome. CardiolRxTM (a pure cannabidiol [CBD] solution) is known to have anti-inflammatory properties, including modulation of inflammasome signaling. This pilot study is to assess the tolerance and safety of CardiolRxTM during the resolution of pericarditis symptoms, assess improvement in objective measures of disease, and during the extension period, assess the feasibility of weaning concomitant background therapy including corticosteroids while taking CardiolRxTM.

Study name: Sacubitril Valsartan in Preventing the Recurrence of Atrial Fibrillation After Ablation in Elderly Hypertensive Patients With Atrial Fibrillation. Medicine: sacubitril/valsartan (100mg) and valsartan (80mg). Rationale: The latest guidelines represent an intensified management approach to reduce or prevent morbidity associated with atrial fibrillation. They provide stronger and more specific recommendations for catheter ablation (CA) use. However, not all patients maintain sinus rhythm after CA and both early and late relapses of AF can occur in many patients. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sacubitril/valsartan in preventing atrial fibrillation recurrences after ablation in elderly hypertensive patients with atrial fibrillation. Study design: This is a 12-month prospective, randomized, active-controlled, open-label, multi-center study, with two treatment groups: sacubitril/valsartan (100mg tablet) and valsartan (80mg tablet). Study population: Men or women aged between 65 and 79 years will be screened for hypertension. Eligible patients should be untreated and treated atrial fibrillation patients with clinic systolic/diastolic blood pressure ≥130/80 mmHg, who are going to receive catheter ablation procedure. Patients should have abilities to understand the study requirements and provide informed consent. Randomization and treatment: After screening period by centers, eligible patients will be randomly divided into 2 groups, taking one pill of sacubitril/valsartan (100mg tablet) or valsartan (80mg tablet). Follow-up: After meeting the inclusion criteria, there will be 1-week screening period. Clinic blood pressure, ambulatory blood pressure, echocardiography, concomitant medication records and adverse event records will be collected at randomization period. Then patients will be randomly assigned into sacubitril/valsartan group and valsartan group. The treatment will be observed for 12 months. There will be 4 visiting points in the treatment period, which will be the 1st month, 3rd month, 6th month and 12th month. Sample size: A total of 300 patients should be enrolled in total. Timeline: After obtaining the approval of Ethics Committee of Ruijin Hospital, recruitment will start. Patients enrollment and follow-up are expected to be performed from October 2022 to December 2024.

This clinical study investigates the effects of enriched environment on the risk of relapse in alcoholic patients. 135 patients hospitalized for an alcoholic addiction will be recruited and randomized in two groups: one group will receive standard of care, the other group will receive a treatment with enriched environment. The enriched environment consists of six sessions of virtual reality (20 minutes) in a multi-sensory pod and six sessions (20 minutes) of bike activity with cognitive tasks while pedalling. The multi-sensory virtual reality pod allows mindfulness practice and allows patients to be in immersive situations that may trigger cues in order to help them in craving management. The bike consists in the combination of a pedal set and a touch pad on which cognitive training games are offered. This tool thus makes it possible to simultaneously stimulate motor skills and cognition by means of bicycle-game coupling. Patients are then followed during 3 months and a half.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dose reduced postoperative radiotherapy combined with Anlotinib for patients of soft tissue sarcoma

This phase 2 trial studies toripalimab and anlotinib combination treatment in patients with recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma after failure of at least one line of platinum-based chemotherapy
