This phase II trial compares the safety, side effects and effectiveness of atezolizumab with tiragolumab to atezolizumab alone in treating patients with glioblastoma that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Glioblastoma is the most common primary brain cancer in adults and despite aggressive treatment, it is nearly always fatal. Currently, there are limited effective treatment options in patients that have recurrence. Immunotherapy has been shown to be effective in other types of cancer and may be an appealing potential treatment option for recurrent glioblastoma. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as...
The study of investigators indicated that TMZ can up-regulate dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) expression, and mediates Ferroptosis inhibition and chemoresistance of GBM. The clinical data also proved that the DRD2 expression in recurrent GBM is significantly higher than that in primary GBM. Moreover, the DRD2 antagonist haloperidol can attenuate the above function of DRD2, and increase the sensitivity of GBM to the TMZ by inducing fatal autophagy and ferroptosis. In xenograft mice, the combined usage of haloperidol and Temozolomide (TMZ) can significantly inhibit tumor growth and increase overall survival. The investigators' findings ...
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about in patients with supratentorial brain tumours. The main questions it aims to answer is: Can short-term preoperative walking exercise protect cognitive function in the short term after craniotomy in patients with supratentorial brain tumor and reduce the incidence of surgery-related complications? Participants will be asked to receive general care and regular walking exercises prior to surgery. Researchers will compare patients who receive only general care before surgery to see if preoperative walking exercise has an effect on postoperative prognosis.
This study is being conducted to explore the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant toripalimab combined with temozolomide in resectable stage III melanoma.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Tislelizumab (one anti-PD-1 antibody same as nivolumab approved in China) in combination with bevacizumab in patients with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma (GBM) who have progressed on bevacizumab with or without PTEN or TERT gene mutations.
This is a prospective, randomized, 2-arm, Phrase 2, superiority and multicenter study to compare the efficiency of Anti-HER2 TKI versus Pertuzumab in Combination With Dose-dense Trastuzumab and Taxane in HER2-positive breast cancer patients with active refractory brain metastases.
The primary objective of this Phase 1 clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility and tolerability of a novel generation of gene-modified tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in a cohort of 10 patients aged 18-75 diagnosed with unresectable or metastatic melanoma. TILs will undergo transduction with the Interleukin-7 (IL-7) gene, for IL-7 production upon antigen engagement. Participants will undergo: - screening - tumor operation following autologous TIL production (incl. transduction) - takes approximately 4-6 weeks - admission for lymphodepleting chemotherapy (Cyclophosphamide and Fludarabine...
Brain tumors involve different age groups with a wide range of tumor types involving different anatomical compartments of the brain. The evolution of the brain in vertebrates, including the most recent homo species (including humans), has occurred through increasing structural complexity in more evolved species. In the retrospective study, we will investigate the location of the tumors and different structural aspects of skull anatomy in patients with brain tumors. The information will be compared with the anatomical evolution of the brain and skull in vertebrates to look for possible associations, which can provide insights into...
Massive blood loss occurs in metastatic spinal tumor resection and may cause severe complications. The objective of this study is to investigate whether the use of tranexamic acid will reduce perioperative and postoperative bleeding when compared to those without use of tranexamic acid.
Researchers in the Neurodevelopmental Division at Phoenix Children's Hospital are conducting a study about mitochondrial function in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study involves up to 5 visits to Phoenix Children's Hospital with fasting blood draws, behavioral assessments, and/or questionnaires. Other samples may be collected when appropriate. This study is currently recruiting. There is no cost for visits or study-related exams.
