Focal Cryoballoon Ablation for Malignant Dysphagia
Rationale Dysphagia is commonly encountered in patients with esophageal carcinoma who are no candidates for treatment with curative intent. It often has a considerable impact on quality of life and can cause malnourishment. Current palliative treatments mainly include esophageal stenting and radiotherapy, but these can be associated with substantial drawbacks …
Single Dose Investigator Initiated Pilot Study to Investigate CYTALUX (Pafolacianine) for Intraoperative Detection of Malignant Tissue in Subjects Undergoing Surgical Resection for Cancer.
The goal of clinical trial is to test an FDA approved drug called Pafolacianine that attaches to cancer cells and lights up when seen through a special camera system in adults with a suspected primary diagnosis, or a high clinical suspicion of gastrointestinal, fore gut, pancreatic, hepatobiliary, esophageal malignancies and …
Combination of COMBO Endoscopy Oropharyngeal Airway and HFNC Oxygenation in Sedated Gastrointestinal Endoscopy for Morbidly Obese Patients
Hypoxaemia during sedated gastrointestinal endoscopy exceeds 40 % in morbidly obese (BMI ≥ 35 kg m-²) patients. High-flow nasal cannula alone often fails because of persistent airway collapse. A recent innovation in this domain is the COMBO Endoscopy Oropharyngeal Airway-a multifaceted device that encompasses capnography monitoring, bite block , oxygenation …
Identification of Oral Lesions Through an Autofluorescence System
The aim of the study will be to evaluate the efficacy of a tissue autofluorescence detection system as an aid to clinical screening in identifying lesions of the oral mucosa. The screening process will be performed by 3 clinicians with a different level of experience. Sensitivity and specificity tests will …
Non Elective Vulnerable Elderly Radiotherapy
To evaluate whether patients defined "non-fit for curative non-surgical radio-chemotherapy" and therefore treated with RT alone addressed only to non-elective sites of disease, could obtain a non-inferior loco-regional control compared to similar historical cohorts.
Dose De-escalation and Sentinel LN Mapping Driven Radiotherapy of Contralateral Neck in Ipsilateral Node Positive HNSCC
The study involves head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) of the oral cavity, oropharynx, larynx or hypopharynx with positive nodes on only one side of the neck and no distant metastasis treated by primary (chemo)radiotherapy. The elective node irradiation on the contralateral side is not always mandatory and the …
Clinical Study of SI-B001+SI-B003± Chemotherapy in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Phase Ib: To observe the safety and tolerability of SI-B001+SI-B003 in combination and to identify RP2D in locally advanced or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma indications. Initial efficacy, pharmacokinetic characteristics and immunogenicity were evaluated. Phase II: To evaluate the efficacy of SI-B001+SI-B003 two-drug combination chemotherapy. Safety and tolerance, …
5-Azacytidine and/or Nivolumab in Resectable HPV-Associated HNSCC
This study is being done because both 5-azacytidine and nivolumab can influence the immune system's response to HPV-associated head and neck cancer, and we wish to evaluate whether taking 5-azacytidine will make HPV-associated head and neck cancer more sensitive to treatment with nivolumab. 5-Azacytidine (5-AZA) is a chemotherapy, and nivolumab …
Study on the Efficacy of Treatment by Radiotherapy and Pembrolizumab in Newly Diagnosed Metastatic Head & Neck Cancers
Study to evaluate the efficacy of treatment by radiotherapy and pembrolizumab in newly diagnosed metastatic head & neck cancers
Comparison of Drainage Methods in Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy (DEMURE)
This RCT compares three drainage approaches after minimally invasive esophagectomy (chest tube + thoracic mediastinal drainage tube, thoracic, and abdominal mediastinal drainage tube) to evaluate perioperative outcomes, addressing current evidence gaps in pain and complication profiles.
