The goal of this multi-centre, prospective study is to assess the frequency of asymptomatic brain metastasis in patients with stage II or III Triple Negative or HER2 positive breast cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What proportion of patients with stage II or III Triple Negative or HER2 positive breast cancer have asymptomatic brain metastases identified on a screening contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (or computed tomography when Magnetic resonance is not possible) of the brain? 2. How do patients feel about undergoing brain imaging to screen for asymptomatic Brain metastasis? 3. What clinical and tissue-based...
In France, about 5000 new people with a primary malignant brain tumor are diagnosed each year. The most common primary tumors are gliomas, originating from glial cells (astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas). Low-grade gliomas are mildly aggressive, but they often evolve into a more malignant form. Mutations in the genes encoding isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) are found in about 80% of low-grade gliomas and are associated with a favorable prognosis. Remarkably, IDH-mutated gliomas are characterized by a specific cellular metabolism causing the accumulation of D-2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG) in tumor cells. 2HG can be detected in vivo using 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and...
This phase I trial studies best dose and side effects of oncolytic adenovirus DNX-2401 in treating patients with high-grade glioma that has come back (recurrent). Oncolytic adenovirus DNX-2401 is made from the common cold virus that has been changed in the laboratory to make it less likely to cause an infection (such as a cold). The virus is also changed to target brain cancer cells and attack them.
This study develops a multimodal AI model using endoscopic ultrasound, white-light endoscopy, and clinical information to support the diagnosis of upper GI mesenchymal tumors and the risk stratification of gastric GISTs.
Target population: Patients with (1) newly diagnosed or (2) past history of pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGL) or (3) carrier of genetic mutations in known PPGL susceptibility genes. International multicenter prospective cohort study with randomized intervention (special care follow-up vs. standard care follow-up). All patients will receive instructions about follow-up at the time point of study inclusion. Patients randomized to the standard care follow-up group will be advised to return annually for follow-up according to current routine practice (without active re-scheduling). In contrast, patients randomized to the special care follow-up group will also be...
The ME/CFS study (MECFS-R) aims to create a large-scale registry that provides data on epidemiology, phenotypes, and disease trajectories of and health care for ME/CFS at any age in Germany, which can be used for future clinical trials.
KRANIOPHARYNGEOM Registry 2019 will prospectively collect and descriptively analyse data on diagnostics, treatment, and follow-up of patients with craniopharyngioma. In continuation of preceding studies also patients with xanthogranuloma, meningioma, pituitary adenoma, prolactinoma and cystic intracranial malformations will be registered.
Retrospective study for development of imaging-genetics (brain imaging/genome big data) models and algorithms that are clinically explainable and have high predictive performance in brain research on pediatric developmental disorders
This protocol will enroll patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma and adenosquamous carcinoma (Cohort 1), gastrointestinal/pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms with Ki-67 > 20% (Cohort 2) and neuroendocrine prostate carcinoma (Cohort 3)). Each cohort will have its own interim analysis after enrollment of 10 patients. Subjects will be given a one-month (28 day) supply of study drug (ESK981). Subjects will be instructed to take 4 capsules, with or without food, once per day for 5 consecutive calendar days, then take a drug holiday for 2 consecutive days before repeating the 5 days on-2 days off cycle in sets of 4 weeks or 28 calendar days. Subjects will be asked to keep a pill...
Primary objectives: Primary objectives are to assess and define benchmarks of the surgical outcome in the form of extent of resection, functionality, and quality of life after resection of juxta medullary tumors Secondary objectives: Assessment of variables leading to better outcome through regression analysis: 1. Influence of surgical approach on functionality, pain, and quality of life 2. Comparison between patient with severe neurological (McCormick scale 3-5) to patients with mild deficits (McCormick scale 1-2) 3. Role of intraoperative monitoring (IOM) in extent of resection and neurological deficits Assessment of treatment variations: 1. Assessment of risk factors for...
