Active clinical trials for "Recurrence"

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of long-term administration of Vonoprazan tablets (Takecab tablets) for up to 12 months in the routine clinical setting in patients receiving non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

The two main mechanisms for atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after cryoablation include Pulmonary vein (PV) reconnection and the presence of non-PV associated arrhythmic focuses. The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of each mechanism and if biomarkers may be used to predict of these events. Eighty patients with paroxysmal or persistent AF will undergo PV isolation with cryoablation followed by loop recorder implantation. Patients in whom atrial tachyarrhythmias recur during 12 months follow-up (outside of the 3-month post procedure blanking window) will be offered a second electrophysiology study (EP) study to assess PV isolation and non-PV focuses and further ablation performed as required. At baseline blood samples will be taken to investigate the correlation between specific biomarkers and both the incidence and type of recurrence. The correlation between recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmias due to non-PV associated arrhythmic focuses and elevated baseline levels of NT-ProBNP, CRP, TNF, MMP1 will be pre-specified. 40 consecutive patients will have a biopsy taken from the intraventricular and interatrial septum to investigate the correlation between myocardial inflammation, the presence of fibrosis and recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmias. Correlation between biomarkers of inflammation and biopsy-proven myocardial inflammation or fibrosis will be assessed.

As choline transport and phosphorylation are upregulated in most cancers, including prostate cancer, positron emission tomography (PET) with choline tracers has found widespread use to detect recurrent disease. However, choline metabolism is not increased in a significant number of cases, probably explaining why this imaging method has been reported to be weakly sensitive and specific fro the detection of prostate cancer lesions, especially at low prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. By contrast, prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is overexpressed in most prostate cancer, suggesting that 68Ga-labelled PSMA ligands could be superior to choline tracers. A meta-analysis published in 2016 (Perera M. and al.), which included 18 studies, of which five reported histolopathologic correlation data for 68Ga-PSMA PET-positive lesions, indicated favourable sensitivity and specificity profiles of 68Ga-labelled PSMA ligands compared to choline-based PET imaging techniques.

In patients undergoing breast-conserving surgery and having positive sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs), the ACOSOG Z0011 trial showed equivalent overall survival(OS) and disease-free survival(DFS) outcomes for patients receiving SLN dissection (SLND) alone and those receiving axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). We conducted a prospective single-arm study to confirm the applicability of the Z0011 criteria to Chinese patients with breast cancer.

Introduction: Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GISTs) located in the jejunum or ileum (JI-GIST) are considered of worse prognosis compared to other locations. It has been suggested that this dogma should be revised. The aim of this study is to describe the characteristics of jejunoileal GISTs and its prognosis; and to compare them with gastric GISTs in the era of imatinib. Patients and methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical histories of all the patients diagnosed with GISTs between January 2000 and November 2016. Clinical and pathological data, as well recurrence, metastatic, disease-free survival (DFS) as overall (OS) rates of patients with JI-GIST or gastric GIST (G-GIST) were collected and compared.

MEDIACONNEX study propose a new way of connectedness for adolescents after a suicide attempt: it is based on the sending of SMS (or mail or other new media), over a period of 6 months after their suicide attempt (SA), in order to allow them to recourse to the care more easily and so to limit the risk of suicidal recurrence. The MEDIACONNEX study will be a multicenter controlled randomized trial (East of France) and there is a funding from the Hospital. The proposal trial will test the hypothesis that adolescent suicide attempters who are receiving SMS (or mail or other new media) from the unit of care in addition to the usual care will do less SA recurrence, than those who are receiving the usual care. The primary objective is to determine whether the use of SMS (or mail or other new media) to keep in touch with adolescent suicide attempters in addition to the usual care, compare to usual care, will reduce the delay of recurrence of suicide attempt during 6 months after the SA.

Severe ischemic changes of the liver remnant after hepatectomy could expedite tumor recurrence on the residual liver. Our study aimed at assessing the effect of warm ischemic/reperfusion (I/R) injuries on surgery-to-local recurrence interval and patient overall survival, during major hepatectomies under inflow and outflow vascular control.

Purpose: to demonstrate a 10% recurrence risk reduction for patients treated with Hypersal versus normal saline immediately following TURBT. Design: prospective randomized double-blind placebo controlled trial. Outline: eligible patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer who undergo TURBT at our center will be randomized to receive either 40ml of normal saline or 40 ml of hypersal intravesically. The primary endpoint is tumor recurrence rate. Secondary endpoint are time to recurrence and side effects. Patients A total of 150 patients will be enrolled in this trial.

Clinical outcomes between reattachment of the superior peroneal retinaculum (SPR) and the bone block procedure were compared in this study to elucidate which procedure was safer and more effective.

The aim of this study is to evaluate PSMA-PET for the detection of occult biological recurrence in patients with prostatic cancer referred to the Brest University Hospital.
