The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of adjuvant HIPEC with Mitomycin C after colectomy in the treatment of colorectal cancer patients at high risk of peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Toxoplasma gondii infects over one third of the global human population. Cerebral toxoplasmosis is the most common opportunistic infection in HIV patients resulting in up to 50% of mortality with proper treatment and 80% without it. The fatality mainly due to the brain edema resulted from the mass effect lesion. In addition of anti toxoplasmosis given, adjunctive therapy such as steroid is recommended in order to reduce brain edema, but the dose and duration of administration in cerebral toxoplasmosis has not been evaluated in a clinical trial. Adjunctive therapy given in cerebral toxoplasmosis patients still remains unclear. Moreover, its safety in immunodeficiency cases is still debatable.

This is a multi-centred randomized controlled trial on the addition of letrozole in the medical management of tubal ectopic pregnancies. Tubal ectopic pregnancies are abnormal pregnancies in the Fallopian tube, rather than in the womb. They occurred in around 1-2% of all pregnancies. Methotrexate (MTX) given by the intramuscular route i.e. systemic, a commonly used drug for cancer , was a widely used alternative for management for unruptured tubal ectopic pregnancies and was recommended as first line treatment for selected women. Letrozole, aromatase inhibitor, can suppose oestradiol level. Combination of letrozole with misprostol has shown to improve the complete abortion rate in miscarriage. As a result, addition of letrozole may cause a higher success rate in the medical treatment of ectopic pregnancy. As the evidence of combination of MTX and letrozole in tubal ectopic pregnancies is not available, the objective of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy of combination of MTX and letrozole compared to MTX alone in women with tubal ectopic pregnancies.

This study seeks to determine the clinical efficacy and cost effectiveness of implementing an integrated model for HIV monitoring using point of care (POC) tenofovir (TFV) adherence testing and POC viral load (VL) monitoring in improving ART adherence, maintaining durable VL suppression, and improving retention in care among HIV-positive individuals initiating first-line tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)-based ART in South Africa.

This study is a multi-center, open-label, single-arm phase I clinical study of LP-108. Patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL, arm A) and other B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL, Arm B). Each arm has a dose escalation phase (phase Ia) and expansion phase (phase Ib). During the dose escalation phase, the primary objectives are to define dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and to explore a recommended phase II dose. Dose escalation is based on the classic "3 + 3" design, while accelerated titration is applied to the initial lower doses. After the RP2Ds are determined, additional patients will be enrolled in the expansion phase to further evaluation the safety, PK and preliminary efficacy of LP-108, each therapy can enroll 12-20 subjects.

Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide and the second leading cause of cancer mortality in the United States. The current standard of care (SOC) for locally advanced rectal cancer includes neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radiation followed by surgery. However, great variability exists in patient's response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy with only about 20-25% of patients achieving a complete response while other patients achieve a partial or no treatment response. The purpose of this study is to test the investigational agent, Pembrolizumab, in combination with SOC radiation and Capecitabine (or 5-Fluorouacil) in treatment of patients with mismatch repair deficient locally advanced rectal cancer.

A pilot pharmacokinetic trial to determine the safety and efficacy of a flavored, orally administered irinotecan VAL-413 (Orotecan®) given with temozolomide for treatment of recurrent pediatric solid tumors including but not limited to neuroblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, hepatoblastoma and medulloblastoma

This study aims to find out whether treating children and young people living with HIV with two anti HIV medicines, dolutegravir and lamivudine, is safe and as effective as the three-medicine anti-HIV treatments currently used in routine practice.

This is a Phase I/II clinical trial for patients with r/r Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma relapsed after chimeric antigen receptor T cells infusion. The purpose is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the treatment with chidamide in combination with decitabine.

To Study Perioperative PD-1 Inhibitor and Cesium-131 Interstitial Brachytherapy in patients with locally recurrent HNSCC eligible for salvage surgery.
