Background: Neuroblastoma is a type of cancer that causes tumors in nerves. It affects mainly infants and toddlers, and it causes about 15 percent of cancer-related deaths in children. Objective: To test a new drug (rhIL-15), combined with 3 standard cancer drugs, in people with neuroblastoma. Eligibility: People aged 3 to 35 years with neuroblastoma that did not respond or returned after standard treatment. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood and urine tests. They will have imaging scans and tests of their heart and lungs. They will have a bone marrow biopsy: A sample of tissue and fluid from inside a bone will be...
The purpose of the study is to determine the appropriate pediatric dosage and evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of Lutetium Lu 177 Edotreotide Targeted Radiopharmaceutical Therapy (RPT) as a monotherapy or following standard of care (SoC) in participants ≥2 to <18 years of age with somatostatin receptor (SSTR)-positive tumors.
GBM patients receiving PDT treatment (50 cases，surgery combined with photodynamic therapy) and traditional treatment (50 cases，traditional surgery) in our hospital and partner hospitals were collected. The prognosis was analyzed by comparing with the control group from multiple perspectives such as image evaluation, imaging effect, Karnofsky score, median survival time and survival rate.
Current standard of care therapy and all FDA approved adjuvant therapy for glioblastoma continue to provide less than 12 months of progression free survival (PFS) and less than 24 months of overall survival (OS). There is an extreme need for any novel therapy against glioblastoma that increases progression free survival and overall survival in patients diagnosed with this invasive form of cancer. A significant reason for such a poor prognosis is the infiltrative nature of this tumor in non-enhancing regions (NE) beyond the central contrast-enhancing (CE) portion of tumor, which is difficult to visualize and treat with surgical, medical, or radiotherapeutic means. Since tumor...
This phase III trial compares pH weighted chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based surgical resections to standard of care surgical resections for the treatment of patients with glioblastoma. Standard of care therapy for glioblastoma is surgery to remove tumor tissue that enhances on standard MRI imaging, however, it has been shown that significant tumor burden exists in the region around the tumor tissue that does not enhance with standard MRI. MRI is a procedure in which radio waves and a powerful magnet linked to a computer are used to create detailed pictures of areas inside the body. These pictures can show the difference between...
The primary purpose of this study is to compare the safety of routine telephone assessment versus in-person assessment during a two-year period for patients with non-functioning pituitary adenomas. Secondly, to compare the quality of pituitary care in persons having biochemical assessment once versus twice a year. Thirdly, to assess the rationale of repeated assessment of pituitary function and imaging in patients with small pituitary tumors (microadenomas).
Pilot study to determine feasibility of adding intrathecal chemotherapy and maintenance therapy after high dose chemotherapy for treatment of newly diagnosed HR-EBTs in patients less than 6 years of age.
Historically, clinical study participation has been biased toward certain demographics. However, there is a shortage of studies that delve into the underlying factors that influence patient participation, both positively and negatively. Several people will be invited to enroll in this study so that it may collect a variety of data about glioblastoma clinical trial experiences and identify barriers to participation as well as the causes of participants' failure or withdrawal. The data collected from this study will be analyzed and used to improve the experiences of future glioblastoma patients who are recruited for medical trials.
This Phase 2/3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial will evaluate the Objective Response Rate (ORR) of IFx-Hu2.0 as an adjunctive therapy to pembrolizumab in adult participants (≥18 years) with advanced or metastatic Merkel Cell Carcinoma. A total of 118 participants will be randomized to receive either IFx-Hu2.0 or placebo via intralesional injection in a single lesion, followed by pembrolizumab.
There is a lack of strategies for patients who progress after responding to PD-1/l-1 in melanoma. High expression of Nectin4 in skin and melanomas may serve as a new target in advanced melanomas. The combination of enfortumab/vedotin (EV) and pembrolizumab has shown synergistic effect in various solid tumors. Enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab may have a dual effect on clinical outcomes. PLUGIN is a multicenter, non-randomized open-label, 2-cohort, phase 2 study to evaluate the ORR of pembrolizumab in combination with enfortumab vedotin (EV) in previously treated participants with unresectable stage III or IV melanoma and disease progression on standard therapy. The primary...
