This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects and best dose of TGFβR2KO/IL13Rα2 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells given within the skull (intracranial) in treating patients with glioblastoma or IDH-mutant grade 3 or 4 astrocytoma that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) or that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive). CAR T-cell therapy is a type of treatment in which a patient's T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack tumor cells. T cells are taken from a patient's blood. When the cells are taken from the patient's own blood, it is known as autologous. Then the gene for special receptors...
This open label, single country trial will test if local injection of low-dose ipilimumab and nivolumab, is safe and reduces the sentinel node positivity in high-risk stage II melanoma patients.
This phase I trial investigates the effects of influenza vaccine in treating patients with stage I-IV melanoma. While intramuscular administration of influenza vaccine provides immunization against the influenza virus, giving influenza vaccine directly into the tumor (intralesional) may decrease the size of the injected melanoma tumor, or the extent of the melanoma within the body.
The purpose of the study is to calculate magnitude, type of intraoperative brain shift and assess possibility of it's prediction.
In this study patients undergoing simultaneous translabyrinthine vestibular schwannoma resection and cochlear implantation are included. The goal of the study is to correlate the eABR results with postoperative hearing results.
The purpose of this study is to obtain images of brain tumours during surgery using a new type of surgical camera. The study will assess how the information obtained from the images during surgery matches the removed tissue. Data will also be used to develop the system's key computer-processing features. This will enable real-time information to be given to the surgeon whilst they are performing the procedure and has the potential to make neurosurgery safer and more precise.
Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) is a new alternative for local radiotherapy with the advantages of dose escalation, reduced overall treatment time, and enhanced patient convenience, however the degree of efficacy is unknown, as well as and which is the most efficient dose. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of IORT in patients with surgical excision of brain metastases at a dose of 20 Gy is at least as effective and safe as other forms of radiation therapy in patients with resection of brain metastases.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether intraoperative ultrasound guided resection of glioma without contrast enhancement in magnetic resonance imaging can achieve higher extent of resection than surgery without intraoperative sonography
Objective of the study is to determine whether intraoperative ultrasound guided resection of gliomas with contrast enhancement in magnetic resonance imaging and brain metastases can achieve as high rate of gross total resection as fluorescence-guided surgery with 5-aminolevulinic acid
Intrathecal chemotherapy is one of the mainstay treatment options for leptomeningeal metastases. Pemetrexed is one of the first-line chemotherapeutic agents for non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Since 2017, intrathecal pemetrexed has shown good efficacy for patients with leptomeningeal metastases from NSCLC. It has been recommended as the preferred drug for intrathecal chemotherapy by the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO) guidelines. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) play a promising role in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. Due to its small molecule properties, it can...
