1. Background and Rationale:: Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is a β-galactoside-binding protein involved in various biological processes, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, adhesion, and immune regulation. In cancer, Gal-3 promotes tumor progression by enhancing cell survival, metastasis, and angiogenesis. Additionally, Gal-3 can upregulate Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PDL-1) expression on cancer cells, contributing to immune evasion. PDL-1, an immune checkpoint protein, binds to its receptor PD-1 on T cells, inhibiting their activity and allowing cancer cells to escape immune detection. The interaction between Gal-3 and PDL-1 creates an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, reducing the efficacy of PDL-1 inhibitor therapies. Gal-3 drives the inflammatory response and can worsen the inflammation based side effects of PD-1/PDL-1 inhibitos. Understanding this interplay is crucial for optimizing treatments and improving patient outcomes in cancer immunotherapy. The present study employs the FDA-approved, automated Architect system, initially used in cardiology, to ensure high accuracy and consistency in Gal-3 measurement. This method represents a significant advance over traditional manual ELISA kits, aiming to standardize and reproduce results across the patient cohort and to optimize the application of XGAL-3 apheresis based on robust data. The study results can help optimize the use of the XGAL-3 therapeutic apheresis as an adjuvant treatment to enhance the efficacy and reduce the side effects associated with PDL-1 inhibitors. Therefore, the aim of this study is to conduct an observational clinical trial assessing the correlation between Galectin-3 Level and immunotherapy Outcomes in renal cell carcinoma, non small cell lung cancer, and hepatocellular carcinoma patients treated with PD-1/ PDL-1 Inhibitors 2. Study Objectives: * Primary objectives: To correlate Gal-3 levels with patient outcomes, including response to treatment, duration of response, survival, and side effects observed. * Secondary objectives: To monitor and analyze serum Gal-3 level \& fluctuations over the course of PD-1/PDL-1 inhibitors in oncological patients. 3.

This is a large-scale, multicenter observational study on the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with integrated Traditional Chinese and Western medicine. The study plans to enroll at least 10,000 patients, including a minimum of 1,000 cases with difficult-to-treat RA (D2T RA) and 1,000 cases with RA-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD). Through long-term follow-up, data will be collected on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome characteristics, treatment plans, adverse drug reactions, and complications. Biological samples, including blood and urine, will also be collected. The research will utilize multi-omics technologies such as genomics and proteomics, combined with clinical data, to deeply explore the modern scientific connotation of the "disease-syndrome-symptom" framework in RA. The goal is to clarify the patterns and advantages of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment. Based on these findings, a scientific and standardized efficacy evaluation system for integrated treatment will be established, and optimized treatment strategies for D2T RA and RA-ILD will be developed. The project is led by multiple national TCM clinical research centers and regional diagnostic and treatment centers, including the First Teaching Hospital of Tianjin University of TCM and Shanghai Guanghua Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine. These institutions have mature clinical research platforms, biobanks, and databases, providing a solid foundation for the successful implementation of this study. The results of this research will provide a scientific basis for the integrated treatment of RA, promote the standardization of diagnostic and treatment protocols, and ultimately improve the overall level of RA prevention and treatment in China.

NCT07328490
Background: Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is the most deadly form of lung cancer. It kills at least 250,000 worldwide each year. Extra-pulmonary neuroendocrine cancer (EP-NEC) is a similar type of cancer that develops anywhere other than the lungs. EP-NEC is also very aggressive. Better treatments are needed for these cancers. Objective: To test 2 drugs (tarlatamab combined with sacituzumab govitecan \[SG\]) in people with SCLC or EP-NEC. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with SCLC or EP-NEC that either did not respond to or returned after treatment. Design: Participants will be screened with a physical exam, blood tests, heart function testing, and imaging scans. Both study drugs are given intravenously (through a needle in the arm). Participants will receive a small starter dose of tarlatamab (1 mg) 2 weeks before beginning regular treatment, followed by the full dose (10 mg) one week later. Treatment then follows a repeating 4-week cycle: tarlatamab (10 mg) on days 1 and 15, and sacituzumab govitecan (7.5 or 10 mg/kg) on days 1 and 8. Treatment continues for up to 2 years, unless the cancer worsens, the participant passes away, or side effects become too severe. Participants will have regular check-ups including physical exams, blood tests, and imaging scans to monitor safety and treatment response. Blood and tumor samples will be collected for research purposes. After stopping treatment, participants will return for a safety check at 30 days, then be contacted every 3 months to check on their health and survival. Those who stop treatment for reasons other than cancer progression will continue CT scans every 8 weeks until their disease progresses.

People with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease affecting the colon, have a higher risk of developing colon cancer over time. To catch early signs of cancer, regular colonoscopies are recommended. In this study, the investigators are comparing two advanced methods of examining the colon during these surveillance colonoscopies. One method uses a special dye sprayed inside the colon to highlight abnormal areas (called dye-based chromoendoscopy). The other method uses new technology built into the camera to enhance the view without needing any dye (called virtual chromoendoscopy). Both methods use modern, high-definition equipment. The purpose of this study is to find out if the newer, dye-free method is as good as the traditional dye method at detecting pre-cancerous changes (called dysplasia) in people with IBD. Adults with IBD who are due for a routine surveillance colonoscopy may be invited to take part. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two methods. No additional procedures are involved, and only the way the colon is viewed differs. The investigators will also look at how long the procedures take, how many biopsies are needed, any complications, and how patients experience the exam. Participants will be followed over time using national health records to check for long-term outcomes. This research will help doctors better understand which method is most effective and comfortable for patients, and may guide future recommendations for cancer screening in people with IBD.

Lung resection, a critical treatment for various thoracic diseases, including lung cancer, often necessitates prolonged hospitalization due to rare but severe postoperative complications such as chyle leaks, with an occurrence of 0.25%-3%, prolonging chest drainage, and delaying recovery. Therefore, effective postoperative care is essential for optimizing outcomes, reducing complications, and expediting recovery. Recent studies have highlighted the significant potential of medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) diets, owing to their unique absorption pathway and metabolic properties. MCT contains mainly medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA), which is absorbed in the intestine and transported to the liver via the portal system instead of the lymphatic system. This helps to bypass the lymphatic system, thereby reducing the volume of lymph. MCFAs also provide better energy utilization in stressed condition since it does not require carnitine shuttle upon metabolism, which is beneficial to post-operation recovery. Several studies have demonstrated the benefits of MCT diets in managing chyle leaks and supporting gastrointestinal recovery, particularly in conditions that strain the lymphatic system. For instance, short-term MCT-enriched diets have been associated with improved post-operation recovery of gastrointestinal, hepatic and renal functions, reduced total chest drainage volumes, and shorter hospital stay when compared to regular diet groups. Patients with post-operative chyle leak following thoracic surgery are often given an MCT diet to reduce chest drain volume and hence shorten hospital stay. Based on the successful use of MCT diet on patients with chyle leak after lobectomy, it is hypothesized that patients with chylothorax provided with post-operative MCT diet can also shorten hospital stay by decreasing chest drainage. Therefore, a prospective and randomized trial is designed to investigate how post-operative MCT diet in lung resection patients without chylothorax may affect hospital stay and post-operative recovery.

NCT01386385
This phase I/II partially randomized trial studies the side effects and best dose of veliparib when given together with radiation therapy, carboplatin, and paclitaxel and to see how well it works in treating patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, 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. It is not yet known whether radiation therapy, carboplatin, and paclitaxel are more effective with or without veliparib in treating non-small cell lung cancer.

NCT04267861
Background: Immunotherapy drugs use a person s own immune system to help fight cancer. These drugs work better for some people than others. The drug M7824 has helped some people with cancer. But it can cause side effects. Researchers want to learn all the side effects that M7824 can cause. Once they do, they can prevent or reduce these side effects in future cancer treatments. This will lead to better overall outcomes for people with cancer. Objective: To make a thorough list of adverse events in people with cancer being treated with systemic therapies including M7824 at the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Eligibility: Participants previously enrolled in NCI protocols #15-C-0179 and #18-C-0056 Design: All needed data have already been collected. These data are stored in existing records and databases. Researchers will review the medical records of adults with cancer who were enrolled in the above protocols. The data collected will be relevant to the specific objectives being addressed. Data will be collected only if 2 conditions are met. One, the principal investigator gave permission for use of the data gathered in the trial. Two, the participants of the trial did not opt out of future use of the data. Other protocols may be added. This will be done with an amendment. ...
NCT04310007
This phase II trial compares cabozantinib alone and the combination of cabozantinib and nivolumab to standard chemotherapy in the treatment of patients with non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Ramucirumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as docetaxel, gemcitabine hydrochloride, paclitaxel, and nab-paclitaxel, 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. Giving cabozantinib alone or in combination with nivolumab may be more effective than standard chemotherapy in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
