The current study will use a new treatment approach based on the molecular characteristics of each participant's tumor. The study will test the feasibility in the pilot phase of performing real-time drug screening on tissue taken during surgery in patients with relapsed medulloblastoma or ependymoma and of having a specialized tumor board assign a treatment plan based on the results of this screening and genomic sequencing. The aim of this trial is to allow every child and young adult with relapsed medulloblastoma and ependymoma to receive the most effective and least toxic therapies currently available and will pave the way for improved understanding and treatment of these tumors...
The modern strategy of therapy of high-risk neuroblastoma, stage 4, consists of three phases - induction, consolidation and post- consolidation. Still current approaches demonstrates insufficient levels of ORR (overall response rate), OS (overall survival) and EFS (event free survival). NB-HR-2023 (neuroblastoma high risk) protocol aimed to investigate tolerability and toxicity and potential improvement of ORR, OS and EFS by overcoming of tumor heterogeneous drug resistance using the synergistic interaction of cytostatic and immunobiological agents in the induction. Protocol include the combination of standard chemotherapy (N5 and N6) with anti-GD2 MAB, which is potentially...
The study aims to induce plastic reorganization by a therapeutic protocol to increase the rate of gross total resection (GTR) and to optimize the oncological result.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the safety and effectiveness of infliximab compared to steroids for the treatment of immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced colitis (ICI colitis) in patients with stage III/IV skin cancer. The main questions this study aims to answer are: - How many patients treated with infliximab experience steroid-free disease resolution after 7 weeks? - How many patients treated with steroids experience steroid-free disease resolution after 7 weeks?
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of infliximab and vedolizumab and to see how well they work in treating inflammation of the colon (colitis) caused by immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy in patients with cancer of the genital and urinary organs (genitourinary) or melanoma. Monoclonal antibodies, such as infliximab or vedolizumab, may help to treat immunotherapy induced colitis/diarrhea. This study may help to identify the optimal treatment strategy for immune checkpoint inhibitor-related colitis in patients with genitourinary cancer or melanoma.
Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NENs) represent the most common NeuroEndocrin Neoplasms (NEN) site, comprising 55-70% of all NENs, and they are extremely heterogeneous diseases in terms of clinical presentation and aggressiveness. In recent years there has been a significant increase in the incidence of such neoplasms, partially due to incidental findings of small indolent lesions. However, the behavior of GEP- NEN is variable and mainly dictated by some factors as age, sex, histologic grade, primary site, and stage at diagnosis1. As for grade which is defined by the proliferative activity as measured by mitotic count or ki67 staining, some 75% of neoplasms...
In the preoperative waiting area, the patients are randomly assigned and divided into two groups according to the allocation sequence table (corresponding to 1:1 randomization) generated by the computer. The propofol group was both induced and maintained at an effect-site concentration (Ce) of 2.0-4.0 mcg/mL by a target-controlled infusion (TCI) system. The sevoflurane group was maintained via sevoflurane vaporizer between 1% and 3% (target minimum alveolar concentration of 0.7-1.3). The following patient data were recorded, the type of anesthesia, sex, age at the time of surgery, preoperative Karnofsky performance status (KPS) score and functional capacity, the postoperative...
The aim of this trial is to determine preliminary activity of the combination treatment with nivolumab and entinostat in children and adolescents with high risk refractory/relapsed/progressive tumors harboring a high mutational load, focal MYC(N) amplification or ATRT-MYC subgroup as well as tumors with high tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) or a tertiary lymphoid structure (TLS).
Gliomas are the most common malignant brain tumors, which are often associated with high-grade tumors characterized by an inferior prognosis and low patient survival rates in both children and adults. Surgical removal and tumor resection are the primary treatment approaches for gliomas. In such cases, whole-brain radiation therapy is also employed as a therapeutic option, which itself has significant side effects, and studies have shown limited impact on improving patient survival. Targeted therapy and recently investigated approaches such as targeted therapy have shown some tumor regression, but in most cases, tumor recurrence has been observed after initial regression. Therefore,...
This phase III trial studies whether inotuzumab ozogamicin added to post-induction chemotherapy for patients with High-Risk B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) improves outcomes. This trial also studies the outcomes of patients with mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), and B-lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LLy) when treated with ALL therapy without inotuzumab ozogamicin. Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody, called inotuzumab, linked to a type of chemotherapy called calicheamicin. Inotuzumab attaches to cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers calicheamicin to kill them. Other drugs used in the chemotherapy regimen, such as cyclophosphamide, cytarabine,...
