Testing the Addition of the Anti-Cancer Drug Tivozanib to Immunotherapy (Pembrolizumab) After Surgery to Remove All Known Sites of Kidney Cancer
This phase III trial compares the effect of adding tivozanib to standard therapy pembrolizumab versus pembrolizumab alone for the treatment of patients with high-risk renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability …
Minimally Invasive Surgery After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Stage IIIC-IV Ovarian, Primary Peritoneal, or Fallopian Tube Cancer, LANCE Trial
This phase III trial compares minimally invasive surgery (MIS) to laparotomy in treating patients with stage IIIC-IV ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer who are receiving chemotherapy before and after surgery (neoadjuvant chemotherapy). MIS is a surgical procedure that uses small incision(s) and is intended to produce minimal blood …
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Out-of-Pocket Costs, Lost Wages, and Unemployment in Patients With Breast Cancer Undergoing Breast Surgery
This study investigates the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on out-of-pocket costs, lost wages, and unemployment in patients with breast cancer undergoing breast surgery. Post-mastectomy reconstructive patients are at high risk for financial toxicity (adverse effects of escalating health care cost on well-being). The goal of this study is to collect …
MCJR Joint Replacement Clinical Outcomes Database
The purpose of this research study is to develop a database of information regarding the diagnosis, treatment, and outcome of participants who have had a joint replacement. The more information gathered, the better the investigators will be able to treat future patients who need a joint replacement. For example the …
The VICTORY Trial: Virtual, Innovative, Postsurgical Care To Optimize Return Home for Older People With frailtY
Canadian hospitals continue to struggle with severe emergency department and hospital bed capacity shortages. Maximizing bed availability and minimizing emergency department and urgent-centre visits by providing patients with alternative options to care is an important part of the solution. Surgical patients with frailty are at high risk of requiring subsequent …
Intelligent Vacuum Assisted Biopsy Immediately Before Surgery As an Intra- or Pre-Operative Surrogate for Patient Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is common practice in the primary treatment of breast cancer, leading to a complete pathologic remission (pCR) of the tumor in more than 50% in aggressive tumor types. As NAC induces different response patterns, radiologic imaging is not sufficiently accurate in predicting residual disease. Because of this …
Mitotane With or Without Cisplatin and Etoposide After Surgery in Treating Patients With Stage I-III Adrenocortical Cancer With High Risk of Recurrence
This phase III trial studies how well mitotane alone works compared to mitotane with cisplatin and etoposide when given after surgery in treating patients with adrenocortical cancer that has a high risk of coming back (recurrence). Cortisol can cause the growth of adrenocortical tumor cells. Antihormone therapy, such as mitotane, …
Development and Pre-validation of a Machine Learning-based Prediction Algorithm for Early Functional Recovery in Patients Undergoing Hip and Knee Replacement Surgery
The goal of this observational study is to develop and pre-validate a machine learning algorithm to predict early recovery of mobility in patients undergoing hip or knee joint replacement surgery. The primary research question is: Can a machine learning model accurately classify patients with faster versus slower recovery of autonomous …
Registry for Degenerative Spinal Disease (RDSD)
The outcome after spinal surgery is important and the evidence is critical to develop treatment. The purpose of this study is to make a prospective registry of database for further research.
Database Concerning Patients Consulting the Obesity Clinic
