NCT07287098
This study will include two groups of patients: Cohort 1 and Cohort 2. Cohort 1: will help researchers learn how a medicine called imlunestrant (LY3484356) affects a specific type of breast cancer. Some patients will take both imlunestrant and another treatment to suppress their ovarian function. Some will take it without ovarian suppression. Researchers will compare the effects in breast cancer cells to those of another medicine called tamoxifen. All patients in this group will be premenopausal women who have a type of early breast cancer called estrogen receptor-positive, HER2-negative. The treatment in this group will last for up to 29 days. Cohort 2: will help researchers understand how imlunestrant affects the ovaries when it is taken without ovarian suppression. Researchers will compare the effects to those of another medicine called tamoxifen. This group will also include premenopausal women with the same type of breast cancer. The treatment in this group will last for up to 6 months.
NCT03691714
The purpose of this research study is to test the combination of the anti-cancer drugs durvalumab, the study drug, and cetuximab as a treatment for metastatic or recurrent head and neck cancer. Participants will receive both durvalumab and cetuximab.
NCT00102544
This study will evaluate the accuracy and effectiveness of an experimental tracking device for locating abnormalities during invasive procedures, such as biopsy or ablation, that cannot easily be visualized by usual imaging techniques, such as computed tomography (CT) scans or ultrasound. Some lesions, such as certain liver or kidney tumors, small endocrine abnormalities, and others, may be hard to find or only visible for a few seconds. The new method uses a needle with a miniature tracking device buried inside the metal that tells where the tip of the needle is located, somewhat like a mini GPS, or global positioning system. It uses a very weak magnet to localize the device like a miniature satellite system. This study will explore whether this system can be used in the future to more accurately place the needle in or near the desired location or abnormality. Patients 18 years of age and older who have a lesion that needs to be biopsied or an ablation procedure that requires CT guidance may be eligible for this study. Candidates are screened with a medical history and review of medical records, including imaging studies. Participants undergo the biopsy or ablation procedure as they normally would, with the following exceptions: some stickers are placed on the skin before the procedure and a very weak magnet is placed nearby. The needles used are similar to the ones that would normally be used except that they contain a metal coil or spring buried deep within the needle metal. The procedure involves the following steps: 1. Small 1-cm plastic donuts are place on the skin with tape. 2. A planning CT scan is done. 3. The CT scan is sent to the computer and matched to the patient's body location with the help of a very weak magnet. 4. The needle used for the procedure is placed towards the target tissue or abnormality and the "smart needle" location lights up on the old CT scan. 5. A repeat CT is done as it normally is to look for the location of the needle. 6. After the procedure the CT scans are examined to determine how well the new tool located the needle in the old scan.
NCT06663319
The purpose of this study is to determine the putative recommended phase 2 dose(s) (RP2Ds) and best way to take (optimal route of administration) JNJ-89402638 and to determine the safety of JNJ-89402638 at the RP2D(s) in participants with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and metastatic gastric cancer (mGAC) and to determine the safety and tolerability of JNJ-89402638 in combination with bevacizumab or biosimilar with or without chemotherapy in participants with mCRC.
NCT07664813
Magnifying endoscopy provides high-resolution images that enhance the detection of early gastrointestinal lesions. However, conventional manual zoom techniques require frequent focal adjustments, which can be technically demanding and may compromise image stability, especially in complex anatomical settings. This study evaluates a novel one-click autofocus system based on image recognition and computer vision algorithms. The system automatically adjusts focal distance within seconds, eliminating the need for manual operation. This trial aims to compare the efficiency and image quality of one-click autofocus versus segmented manual focus in patients undergoing magnifying endoscopy for gastric diseases. A tandem randomized controlled trial will be conducted to assess procedure time, image clarity score, and operator satisfaction between the two techniques.
NCT07169851
The purpose of this study is to check how well LY35327021 works and how safe it is for controlling nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy. Participants who join this study will be in it until all parts are finished, which could take about 2 months.
NCT07258836
The purpose of the study is to check how safe and well-tolerated \[18F\]LY4214835 injection is in healthy participants and participants with cancer. The study drug will be administered intravenously (IV) (into a vein). Participation in the study will last approximately 35 days.
NCT06287723
Improving personalized cancer treatments and finding the best strategies to treat each patient relies on using new diagnostic technologies. Currently, for colorectal cancer, the methods used to decide who gets additional post-surgery treatment are suboptimal. Some patients get too much treatment, while others do not get enough. There is a new way to explore if there is any cancer left in a patient's body using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) detected in blood samples. This can help decide who needs more treatment after surgery. Even though many tests have been developed, it has yet to be determined which test performs best at relevant time points. The GUIDE.MRD consortium is a group of experts, including scientists, technology, and pharmaceutical companies. The consortium is working on creating a reliable standard for the ctDNA tests, validating their clinical utility, and collecting data to help decide on the best treatment for each patient. FRENCH.MRD.CRLM is the French study and part of the european GUIDE.MRD project.
NCT07628998
Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of mortality in Catalonia. Although early detection programs using the fecal immunochemical test (FIT) are effective in reducing both incidence and mortality, their success relies on high population participation. Currently, in the Vallès Occidental region, the participation rate stands at 42%, which is below the 65% minimum recommended by European health authorities. The objective of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate whether sending a reminder text message (SMS) is an effective tool to increase participation in the screening program. The study will include 10,084 participants aged between 50 and 69 years. Half of the participants will receive a reminder SMS five weeks after their initial invitation, while the other half will follow the standard of care involving postal letters. Researchers anticipate that this strategy will not only increase the number of individuals undergoing screening but also shorten the response time and reduce the need for sending postal reminders
NCT07213609
Solid tumours are abnormal lumps of tissue that can occur in different parts of the body. The tumours involved in this study have specific genetic characteristics that can make them more aggressive and challenging to treat. The study will test whether GSK5460025 alone or in combination (potential combinations may be included in future amendments to the protocol) with other anti-cancer agents can decrease tumor size, is safe, well-tolerated, and how the drug is processed in the body over time.
NCT05614739
The main purpose of this study is to learn more about the safety, side effects, and effectiveness of LOXO-435 by itself or when it is combined with other standard medicines that treat cancer. LOXO-435 may be used to treat cancer of the cells that line the urinary system and other solid tumor cancers that have a change in a particular gene (known as the FGFR3 gene). Participation could last up to 30 months (2.5 years) and possibly longer if the disease does not get worse.
NCT05514717
A Study of XMT-2056 in advanced/recurrent solid tumors that express HER2.
NCT07524062
This study investigates whether infrared thermography, a harmless and non-invasive thermal camera technique, can help monitor how surgical wounds heal after skin surgery. The goal is to detect wound problems earlier, such as infection or delayed healing, and to support doctors in making timely clinical decisions.
NCT07656571
Postoperative pancreatic fistula is the most important complication after laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy for tumors of the body and tail of the pancreas. It can cause infection, bleeding, longer hospital stay, and even death. New imaging technology using indocyanine green (ICG) dye and near-infrared fluorescence may help surgeons see blood flow to the pancreatic stump, spleen, and nearby vessels during surgery and make safer decisions about where to cut and which structures to preserve. This study will compare two standard laparoscopic operations for pancreatic body and tail lesions: one with ICG fluorescence imaging at key steps of the procedure and one without ICG imaging. Adult patients who need elective laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. All other aspects of care before, during, and after surgery will be the same. The main goal is to find out whether using ICG fluorescence can reduce the rate of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (Grade B or C) within 90 days after surgery. Secondary goals include comparing blood loss, operating time, need to convert to open surgery, spleen preservation, complications, hospital stay, and oncologic outcomes such as margin status and lymph node yield.
NCT07653906
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether Neurolytic Splanchnic Nerve Block (NSNB) reduces pain in adults with upper abdominal malignancies. It will also evaluate the safety of Neurolytic Splanchnic Nerve Block (NSNB). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does NSNB reduce pain intensity compared to Neurolytic Coeliac Plexus Block (NCPB), as measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS)? What adverse effects do participants experience when receiving Neurolytic Splanchnic Nerve Block (NSNB)? Investigators will compare Neurolytic Splanchnic Nerve Block (NSNB) with Neurolytic Coeliac Plexus Block (NCPB) to determine which intervention provides more effective and safer pain relief. Participants will: * receive either NSNB or NCPB under fluoroscopic guidance * be monitored immediately and for 2 hours after the procedure for any complications Have their pain intensity recorded immediately after the procedure, and at 7 days, 1 month, and 3 months * be evaluated for quality-of-life using European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire - Core 3 (EORTC QLQ-C30) at 1 month and 3 months. * have their opioid consumption tracked throughout the study.
NCT06342440
This study aims to develop a highly sensitive, specific, and cost-effective blood assay for early detection of colorectal adenomas and cancer, using advanced machine learning and state-of-the-art biological analyses.
NCT07549412
This study aims to address the unmet medical need of participants with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) who have previously been treated with irinotecan, oxaliplatin, a fluoropyrimidine, and bevacizumab, by demonstrating an overall survival prolongation with precemtabart tocentecan (Precem-TcT) as single agent or Precem-TcT in combination with bevacizumab compared to trifluoride/tipiracil (FTD-TPI) plus bevacizumab.
NCT07535112
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) with a specific mutation, the G12D mutation, in a protein called KRAS. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common type of cancer that affects the large bowel (colon) or the rectum (the section at the end of the bowel). When CRC spreads to other parts of the body, it is called advanced or metastatic CRC. Some people with CRC have the G12D mutation in the KRAS protein. This mutation is linked to a poorer outlook and fewer treatment options. Currently, there are no approved treatments that specifically target this mutation. KRAS is a protein that helps control how cells grow and divide. When it is mutated, it can cause cells to grow uncontrollably, leading to cancer. The study drug, BAY 3771249, is designed to block the activity of KRAS with G12D mutation, which may help slow or stop the growth of cancer cells. BAY 3771249 can be given alone or together with another drug called cetuximab. The main purpose of this study is to learn how safe BAY 3771249 is, how well people tolerate it, how the body processes the drug, and whether it can help shrink or control tumors in people with advanced or metastatic CRC that has the KRAS G12D mutation. The study will also look at how BAY 3771249 works when given alone or with cetuximab, especially in people who have already tried other treatments for their cancer. Researchers will measure, among others: The number and seriousness of health problems (adverse events) after receiving BAY 3771249. The number of participants who experience a dose-limiting side effect (DLT) at each dose level. The number of participants whose tumors shrink or disappear (overall response rate, ORR) as measured by standard criteria. How much of the drug is in the blood over time (AUC) and the highest amount in the blood (Cmax). Some participants will receive BAY 3771249 alone (monotherapy), and others will receive BAY 3771249 with cetuximab (combination therapy). The study will start with lower doses and gradually increase to find the highest safe dose (dosage escalation). After the safe dose is found, more participants may join the study to receive it (dosage expansion). In some parts of the study, participants may be randomly assigned to different groups or doses. The study is open-label, meaning both participants and doctors know which treatment is being given. An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events, even if they do not think it is related to the study treatment. The study doctors and their team will contact participants to learn about their health until they complete the study. If a participant benefits from the treatment, it might be possible to continue receiving BAY 3771249 after the end of the study. The findings from this study may help develop a new treatment option for people with advanced or metastatic CRC with a KRAS G12D mutation.
NCT07222215
The goal of this research study is to compare a combination of two drugs, capecitabine and elacestrant to capecitabine alone as a treatment for advanced estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer. This study is designed for participants with cancer that has previously stopped responding to medication in the class of therapy called CDK 4/6 inhibitors, including palbociclib, ribociclib, or abemaciclb. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: * Elacestrant (a type of selective estrogen receptor degrader) * Capecitabine (a type of fluoropyrimidine antimetabolite)
NCT07612007
This phase IIb trial tests the effect of HRX215 in treating patients with colorectal cancer that has spread from where it first started to the liver (liver metastasis) after undergoing a portal vein embolization (PVE). Currently, surgery to remove the tumor (hepatectomy) remains the only potential treatment for cure. However, less than 30% of patients are considered resectable (can be removed by surgery) at the time of diagnosis. The risk of liver failure and other complications rise with larger areas liver that is removed during surgery. Therefore, the potential for surgery is determined by the amount of liver that will remain after resection. PVE is a standard strategy to increase the potential for resection. A PVE is a procedure that blocks the portal vein (a blood vessel that carries blood to the liver) to prevent flow of blood to the tumor. HRX215 targets and binds to MKK4, a protein found on liver cells plays a part in cellular growth and prevents liver repair and regrowth of cells and tissue. Blocking the activity of MKK4 may help prevent liver failure, protect liver cells and improve liver mass. Giving HRX215 after a PVE may help improve the rate of liver regrowth and increase the likelihood of hepatectomy in patients with colorectal liver metastasis.
