Aug 5th, 2022 - Background: We generated a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) that engages CD70 using its natural ligand CD27, as the binding moiety. Transducing peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) with this CAR conveys major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-independent recognition of CD70-expressing target cells, which include renal cell carcinoma and other cancers. In co-cultures with CD70+ target cells, anti-hC...

Aug 5th, 2022 - The purpose of this investigator initiated study is to determine the efficacy of curcumin on disease activity of subjects with systemic lupus erythematous. Curcumin has been found to have anti-inflammatory effects and has been found to improve disease activity in lupus patients. In addition, subjects with rheumatoid arthritis as well as osteoarthritis have also found benefit for their disease a...

Aug 5th, 2022 - PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To compare the progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with newly diagnosed advanced stage classical Hodgkin lymphoma randomized to N-AVD (nivolumab, doxorubicin hydrochloride [doxorubicin], vinblastine sulfate [vinblastine], dacarbazine) versus that obtained with BV-AVD (brentuximab vedotin, doxorubicin, vinblastine, dacarbazine).

Aug 5th, 2022 - A Phase III Double-blind Randomised Study Assessing the Efficacy and Safety of Capivasertib + Paclitaxel Versus Placebo + Paclitaxel as First-line Treatment for Patients with Histologically Confirmed, Locally Advanced (Inoperable) or Metastatic Triple negative Breast Cancer (TNBC)

Aug 5th, 2022 - Background Platinum-based chemotherapy is the standard of care for advanced unresectable thymic epithelial tumors (TETs). However more than half of these patients experience disease recurrence and require second-line therapy. There are no approved drugs for treatment of recurrent thymoma and thymic carcinoma and new therapeutic options are needed for patients who have disease progression on or ...

Aug 5th, 2022 - The used antibiotic is Metronidazole (Flagyl), during 14 days, as induction therapy or rescue therapy. Study participants will provide blood and stool samples in order to evaluate bile acids profile and microbiome, before and after the course of metronidazole, and then comparison will be made pre- and post-antibiotics. The investigators will determine the benefit of oral metronidazole therapy t...

Aug 5th, 2022 - This is a phase II, multicenter, randomized, open-label study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of perioperative trastuzumab+XELOX with / without atezolizumab in participants eligible for surgery with locally advanced HER2-positive gastric cancer or adenocarcinoma of GEJ.
