The main goal of this study is to provide foundational data to drive translational approaches for an entirely novel category of immunotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence and severity of retinopathy and opticopathy one year after treatment with hypofractionated stereotactic photon radiotherapy due to uveal melanoma. Patients will be imaged before radiation, as well as 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after radiation using sonography funds photography, optical coherence tomography angiography, oximeter and microperimetry.
In this proposal, the investigators introduce a novel, translational study to prospectively examine primary brain tumor patients undergoing fractionated radiation therapy to the brain. Quantitative neuroimaging, radiation dose information, and directed neurocognitive testing will be acquired through this study to improve understanding of cognitive changes associated with radiation dosage to non-targeted tissue, and will provide the basis for evidence-based cognitive- sparing brain radiotherapy.
This protocol (GENEFU) provides a mechanism for the 15-year followup period that the FDA requires for all participants in gene transfer protocols and assures that adequate followup can be maintained for a wide variety of participants on different individual gene therapy protocols at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. GENEFU serves as an umbrella protocol for long-term follow-up (LTFU) for recipients of gene therapy/gene marked (GT/GM) products at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The FDA has recommended methods to assess the risk of delayed adverse events after GT/GM and has provided specific requirements regarding the...
This protocol is designed as a long-term follow-up study of participants who will receive CAR-T cells as part of a clinical trial at the Medical College of Wisconsin/ Froedtert Hospital. The clinical trials include the following: Phase 1 Study of CAR-20/19-T Cells in Patients with Relapsed Refractory B Cell Malignancies (NCT03019055); Phase I Trial of BCMA-TGF-BETA CAR-T Cells in Relapsed, Refractory Myeloma (NCT05976555); CAR20.19.22 T-cells in Relapsed, Refractory B-cell Malignancies (NCT05094206); LV20.19 CAR T-Cells in Combination With Pirtobrutinib for Relapsed, Refractory B-cell Malignancies (NCT05990465); CAR-20/19-T Cells...
This is a prospective longitudinal study to access postoperative 2-year quality of life in patients who undergo endonasal endoscopic approach surgeries of the skull base.
This study aims to quantify the malignant potential of non-functional neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreatic body and tail ≤ 3 cm by collecting real-world data from large pancreatic centers across the country, and to evaluate the appropriateness of parenchyma-sparing resection and oncologic resection.
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and anaplastic astrocytoma (AA) are the most common primary malignant brain tumors. Survival of patients with these brain tumors is directly related to the extent of resection. Consequently, a great deal of effort has been directed at developing techniques and technologies that allow more extensive, safe resections. This study will test a loupe-based wearable device in the clinical setting and compare its accuracy with a large operative microscope to identify tumor tissues. Postoperative histopathological analysis on tumor tissues will be used as gold standards for comparison. The outcome from this...
This is a pilot study of combination low dose rate brachytherapy (LDR) added to standard of care (SOC) immunotherapy in stage III and IV melanoma, stage IV renal call cancer, and stage IV urothelial cancer.
The purpose of this study is to test the effects of a drug called Voraxaze when it's routinely given in combination with methotrexate and rituximab, the standard treatment for CNSL.
