A Dose-escalation Clinical Study of Intraoperative Photodynamic Therapy of Glioblastoma
The primary objective of this clinical trial is to determine the safety and tolerability of two doses of light in intraoperative PDT added to standard of care; temozolomide-based chemotherapy in male and female patients aged 18 to 75 with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. This treatment will be carried out in addition …
Assessing the Efficacy of Photodynamic Therapy for Preventing Surgical Site Infections
This is a randomised, unblinded interventional device proof of concept pilot trial in which patients undergoing nasal surgery will be selected for either photodisinfection therapy (PDT) with the Steriwave™ ND System, or control with nares swabbed with 'photosensitizer formulation' preoperatively. This trial will primarily assess the safety and efficacy of …
Alteration of the Immune Microenvironment in Basal Cell Carcinoma Following Photodynamic Therapy
The purpose of this study is to better understand the immune response to basal cell carcinoma (BCC) treated with Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) in order to develop new methods of treating BCC. Previous research suggests that PDT alters the immune response, possibly in a way that could promote better tumor clearance …
Efficacy and Safety of Photodynamic Therapy for Cervical and Vaginal Intraepithelial Neoplasia
To investigate the efficacy and safety of photodynamic therapy (20% 5-amino-ketovalerate 630nm red light) in the treatment of cervical and vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia in women in the real world.
Photodynamic Therapy of Primary Localized Prostate Cancer With the SpectraCure P18 System
The goal of this study is to obtain safety data, establish dose parameters, and effectiveness of treatment for the SpectraCure P18 System with IDOSE®, together with verteporfin for injection (VFI) as photosensitizer, for the treatment of primary localized prostate cancer. The study will be divided into two parts, with Phase …
Treatment of Non-resectable Bile Duct Cancer With Radiofrequency Ablation or Photodynamic Therapy
Bile duct cancer is often diagnosed after curative options are no longer available. Stent therapy is used to keep the ducts open and can be combined with photodynamic therapy (PDT) to extend life expectancy. PDT requires an injection of photosensitizer after which light of a particular wavelength is applied endoscopically …
The Effect of Topical Imipramine on Pain and Effectiveness of Topical Photodynamic Therapy
The purpose of this study is testing the use of topical Imipramine in combination with topical photodynamic therapy's (PDT) effect on pain following treatment. PDT is a commonly used treatment in dermatology for patients who have many pre-cancers (actinic keratosis-AKs) on their skin. These are both FDA-approved treatments, but this …
Effects of Adjunct Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy in Periodontal Treatment of Patients With Obesity
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of adjuvant antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) as an adjuvant of scaling and root planing with scaling and root planing alone for periodontal treatment in patients with periodontal disease and obesity. The main question it aims to answer are: Does …
Antibacterial Photodynamic Therapy as an Adjunctive Treatment on Oral Hygiene in Elderly Persons
On average, the dental condition of elderly people is poor due to various reasons. The importance of oral health maintenance of the ageing population has been recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO), as oral health plays a key role in reaching the global goal of the "Decade of Healthy …
Novel Light Delivery Method for Performing Transbronchial Photodynamic Therapy for Peripheral Lung Cancer
This research aims to develop an innovative photodynamic therapy (PDT) for peripheral lung tumors. Current treatments involve surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Photodynamic therapy, using light and photosensitizing drugs, is promising but has limitations. Our team proposes using Lipiodol, a contrast agent, instilled into the trachea via bronchoscopy, surrounding the tumor. …
