Paclitaxel

This study is a multicenter, single-arm Phase II clinical trial, aiming to explore the safety and preliminary efficacy of oral paclitaxel solution combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors as a neoadjuvant regimen in elderly patients aged 70-85 years with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A total of 75 eligible elderly NSCLC patients who need neoadjuvant treatment are planned to be enrolled. The study takes Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital as the main center, Zhejiang Cancer Hospital and Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital as sub-centers, adopts a single-arm study design, and the research subjects are elderly NSCLC patients who need neoadjuvant treatment. The core indicators for efficacy evaluation include pathological complete response rate (pCR), major pathological response rate (MPR, residual tumor cells ≤10%), imaging response rate (according to RECIST 1.1 criteria), 2-year event-free survival rate (EFS), 2-year overall survival rate (OS), surgical resection rate, and R0 resection rate; safety evaluation mainly observes the incidence of adverse events. The statistical methods adopt the relevant specifications for single-arm exploratory studies. Efficacy analysis is carried out in the full analysis set and per-protocol set, and safety analysis is performed using the safety analysis set; for continuous variables, paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed-rank test is used according to the distribution; categorical variables are analyzed descriptively; for the main rate-type outcome indicators, the incidence rate and 95% confidence interval (Clopper-Pearson method) are reported; survival outcome indicators are estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and relevant parameters are reported.

The primary aim of this registry is to systematically collect and analyze real-world data on all patients undergoing PCI with the Protégé paclitaxel-eluting DCB to evaluate procedural outcomes, long-term efficacy, and safety across various clinical indications. This registry aims to assess the clinical effectiveness of DCB therapy across diverse patient populations, including those with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) and acute coronary syndromes (ACS), as well as various lesion subsets, encompassing (but not limited to) in-stent restenosis (ISR), de novo coronary lesions, small vessel disease, bifurcation and calcified lesions, coronary bypass graft lesions, and patients at high risk of bleeding. Additionally, the study aims to identify predictors of success, complications, and optimal treatment strategies to further refine the use of DCBs.

Although advances in chemotherapy have improved the prognosis of gastric cancer patients, many patients still suffer from adverse events. Therefore, it is necessary to establish personalized treatment by identifying patients at high risk for side effects. Although paclitaxel-based therapy is the standard second-line treatment, peripheral neuropathy is a troublesome adverse event. The purpose of this study is to establish a liquid biopsy assay to predict paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy in gastric cancer patients.

Patients with locally recurrent squamous-cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) after Chemotherapy and immunotherapy have a very poor prognosis and limited therapeutic options. Intratumoral chemotherapy (ITC) with cisplatin and epinephrine in order to increase the local cisplatin retention lead to a 50 % response rate in several studies but was given up due to the poor local tolerance with frequent necrosis of the peritumoral tissues. Gemcitabine, carboplatin and paclitaxel (GCP) are used in advanced SCCHN. These chemotherapies seem to be interesting options for intratumoral infusion: their different effect could lead to avoid chemotherapy resistance with a good tolerance profile, without tissue necrosis profile. The other major option for recurrent SCCHN is immunotherapy by Nivolumab, an anti PD-1 with a 13% mediane response rate. Nevertheless, the failure of this treatment stay unclear, but immunosuppressive action of the tumour is suspected. The presence of tumoral antigen could lead to better response to immunotherapy; association of chemotherapy and immunotherapy seems a promosing association to avoid treatment resistance as cytotoxic release tumoral antigen; it could also be associated to an abscopal effect. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of ITC using GCP in LOCAL recurrent SCCHN treated by nivolumab.

This randomized, double-blind, 2-arm study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Chiauranib plus weekly paclitaxel versus placebo plus weekly paclitaxel in patients with Platinum-refractory or Platinum-resistant Recurrent ovarian cancer.

The objective of this all-comers registry is to explore the safety, efficacy, and cost-efficiency of the LUMINOR© DEB in de-novo and restenotic-FP lesions. For de-novo and restenotic lesions, especially for calcified and/or long lesions/occlusions, the use of debulking devices to improve recalibration and drug penetration will be evaluated in a specific sub-group.
