Tailored Axillary Surgery With or Without Axillary Lymph Node Dissection Followed by Radiotherapy in Patients With Clinically Node-positive Breast Cancer (TAXIS)
RATIONALE: The use of tailored axillary dissection as a tailored procedure will avoid surgical overtreatment by selectively removing the lymph nodes that are affected by the cancer, thereby sparing many women the unnecessary complications of a radical surgery, providing a better quality of life while keeping the same efficacy. PURPOSE: …
Testing the Addition of the Drug Apalutamide to the Usual Hormone Therapy and Radiation Therapy After Surgery for Prostate Cancer, INNOVATE Trial
This phase III trial studies whether adding apalutamide to the usual treatment improves outcome in patients with lymph node positive prostate cancer after surgery. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-ray to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Androgens, or male sex hormones, can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. …
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 …
Safety of Mid and Low Rectal Cancer Surgery Without Dissection of the No.253 Lymph Node (S-M-O-O-T-H)
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about whether it is safe to omit dissection of the No.253 lymph nodes in mid and low rectal cancer surgery. The main question it aims to answer is that if it is possible to achieve the same long-term survival with and …
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 …
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 …
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, …
A Study to Evaluate the Benefit of Adding Durvalumab After Chemotherapy, Durvalumab and Surgery in Patients With Early-stage, Operable, Non-small Cell Lung Cancer.
ADOPT-lung is an international, multicentre, open-label randomised phase III trial. Protocol treatment consists of 3-4 cycles of neoadjuvant durvalumab in combination with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, followed by surgery. Patients with R0 and R1 only resection will be randomised to receive either adjuvant durvalumab for 12 cycles (experimental arm) or observation …
Transanal Versus Laparoscopic Total Mesorectal Excision for Rectal Cancer
Laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer has been successfully proven to be a non-inferior alternative regarding resection quality, and oncological outcomes of patients as compared to open surgery in mangy clinical trails. Moreover, laparoscopic surgery is advantageous over open surgery with regard to operative invasiveness, patient's recovery, and wound related complications. …
A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of GDC-8264 in Preventing Cardiac Surgery-Associated Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) and Major Adverse Kidney Events (MAKE)
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of GDC-8264 compared with placebo in participants undergoing cardiac surgery who are determined to be at moderate to high risk of developing AKI and subsequent MAKE at 90 days after surgery (MAKE90). The study will be performed in …
