Abdominal Cancer Clinical Trials

This research study is for people with advanced liver cancer who have never received systemic medicine (affecting the entire body) for advanced liver cancer. This is a randomized, open-label Phase 3 study to determine whether treatment with vaccinia virus based immunotherapy (Pexa-Vec) followed by sorafenib can slow the progression of ...

This Phase I/IIA, open label, multicenter, dose escalation study of CB-103 in patients with Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumours and Haematological Malignancies. After providing signed informed consent, patients will be screened for entry into the study. The study will be conducted in 2 stages. In a dose escalation stage, approximately ...

Summary Purpose and Objective: The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility of rapid acquisition of point of care 3D ultrasound in obtaining abdominal and/or pelvic images. The study will use a newly developed acquisition method and post-processing technique to create three dimensional image models of the abdomen ...

Background The newborn and infant pelvis is not fully developed and the bladder, uterus, and ovaries are to a large degree intra-abdominal. The pelvis of the infant and child has different anatomic relationships than the adolescent or adult pelvis. Neoplasms of the pediatric pelvis constitute a unique group requiring highly ...

The purpose of this study is to compare the results of combining two anesthetic medications (dexmedetomidine and propofol) in low doses with a standard dose of a single drug that is commonly used to provide sedation/anesthesia for MRI studies in young children (propofol). Recent studies and the FDA have raised ...

After obtaining approval of the local ethics committee of South Egypt Cancer Institute, Assiut University, Assiut, Egypt, and parent's written informed consent, a randomized double -blinded prospective study will be conducted on (60) pediatric patients. After applying standard monitors; Pulse oximetry (Spo2), Noninvasive arterial blood pressure, Electrocardiography (ECG), pre-medication with ...

Magnetic Resonance (MR)-guided high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is an innovative technique that allows for non-invasive thermal ablation of tissue. Advantages over conventional local tumor control such as surgery, radiation, or radiofrequency are that MR-HIFU is completely non-invasive, non-ionizing, and enables ablation of large tumor volumes with avoidance of adjacent ...

All data entered into the registry documenting the patient cohort characteristics (disease, demography, therapy) are analyzed using descriptive statistics. Survival data are analyzed with Kaplan-Meier statistics. Multivariate Cox Proportional Hazard Models are used to identify potential prognostic and predictive factors. In particular, a risk- adjusted comparison of the outcome criteria ...

Radiofrequency thermocoagulation of splanchnic nerves was done bilaterally at level of thoracic vertebra T10 and T11 ( there were no enough studies done to test the efficacy, safety and impact on the quality of life of radiofrequency thermocoagulation of splanchnic nerves at level of T10 ). Aim of the Study ...

Aim- To compare the pain scores during rest and movement with continuous epidural infusion (CEI) vs. patient controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) To compare the incidence of side effects between 2 groups Comparison of local anaesthetic and opioids requirement by PCA attempts and also rescue analgesia requirement. To compare patient satisfaction ...
