Optimising Radiation Therapy in Head and Neck Cancers Using Functional Image-Guided Radiotherapy and Novel Biomarkers

This is a non-randomised study to develop personalised treatment approaches in participants with Locally Advanced Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) of the oropharynx and base of skull by integrating the use of MR-guided Adaptive Radiotherapy (MRgRT) and functional image-guided radiotherapy (FIgRT). The study is made up of two parts: Feasibility …

PRAGMA (Prostate Radio Ablation Guided by Magnetic Resonance Imaging Acquisition) in Metastatic Prostate Cancer

Patients with metastatic prostate cancer can undergo MRI-guided prostate Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) without significant adverse events, similar to what has been reported for patients with localized prostate cancer. We hypothesize that prostate SBRT will be well-tolerated in metastatic prostate cancer patients, with quality of life outcomes similar to …

Nivolumab Ipilimumab and Chemoradiation in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains a dreadful disease due to its often advanced stage at diagnosis and poor sensitivity to chemotherapy. A locally unresectable tumor (locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC)) is present in 30% of the cases and is defined as a surgically unresectable tumor encasing the adjacent arteries [celiac …

Understanding Factors That Influence Electronic Cigarette Nicotine Delivery Through PET Imaging of Beta-2 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors

The goal of this proposal is to test the overall hypothesis that e-cigarettes (ECs) provide efficient nicotine delivery to the brain and arterial blood in non-EC-nave smokers and e-cigarette users and that EC liquid characteristics modulate this effect. This study will test the hypothesis through complementary methods that include [ …

A Randomised Control Trial Comparing Functional Outcomes for Navigated Kinematically Aligned TKR Versus Navigated Mechanically Aligned TKR

The overall aim of the study is to compare navigated kinematically aligned total knee replacements (KA TKR) with navigated mechanically aligned TKR (MA TKR) in terms of function and ROM The objectives are therefore: To compare the functional outcomes of KA TKR versus MA TKR performed using navigation technique To …

Influence of Cooling Duration on Efficacy in Cardiac Arrest Patients

A multicenter, randomized, adaptive allocation clinical trial to determine if increasing durations of induced hypothermia are associated with an increasing rate of good neurological outcomes and to identify the optimal duration of induced hypothermia for neuroprotection in comatose survivors of cardiac arrest.

Impact of Mitral Regurgitation on Coronary Haemodynamics and Instantaneous Effect of Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair

In the present study, the investigators aim to use the in-vivo Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair (TMVR) model to determine how Mitral Regurgitation (MR) affects coronary hemodynamics in patients affected with severe MR and concomittant angiographically-documented coronary artery disease.

Meditation-Relaxation (MR Therapy) for Sleep Paralysis.

The aim of the study is to evaluate, with a small-scale pilot study, the efficacy of Meditation Relaxation therapy for Sleep Paralyses in patients with narcolepsy. The study involves two arms, with intervention with Meditation Relaxation therapy or sham over a period of three months.

Adaptative MR-Guided Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy of Liver Tumors

Hepatic metastases are common in solid cancers (up to 30% of patients with colorectal cancer and up to 50% of patients during their follow-up). The incidence of primary liver cancer increases due to the increase in chronic liver diseases induced by excessive alcohol consumption, hepatitis B and C viruses, and …
