Aim: Investigate whether patients undergoing specialist rehabilitation after complex neurological injury show different functional outcomes if music therapy is included in their rehabilitation program compared to usual care. Background: Patients with complex needs following a brain, spinal cord, and/or peripheral nerve injury often require a period of specialist neurorehabilitation. This involves multiple therapy disciplines, led by a Consultant in Rehabilitation Medicine, Neurology, or Neuropsychiatry. Although music therapy is suggested to enhance neuroplasticity and recovery in patients with brain injury, it is not routinely commissioned in clinical care due to a lack of...
This phase I/Ib trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of mycophenolate mofetil in combination with temozolomide and/or radiation therapy (standard of care) in treating patients with glioblastoma. Mycophenolate mofetil is an immunosuppressant drug that is typically used to prevent organ rejection in transplant recipients. However, mycophenolate mofetil may also help chemotherapy with temozolomide work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug. The purpose of this trial is to determine if mycophenolate mofetil combined with temozolomide can stop glioblastoma.
This is a phase II single center study to administer two courses of myeloablative consolidation chemotherapy each followed by an autologous peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) rescue in patients with high-risk neuroblastoma who have completed induction chemotherapy (independent of this study). Ideally, patients should begin consolidation chemotherapy no later than 8 weeks after the start of Induction Cycle #5; however it is strongly recommended to begin consolidation within 4-6 weeks after the start of Induction Cycle #5.
This project, mySmartSkin (MSS), includes an innovative Type 1 hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial designed to enhance the effects of MSS and simultaneously assess key implementation outcomes (e.g., cost, adoption) as well as contextual factors important for scale-up in community and health care settings where melanoma survivors receive follow-up care. A type 1 hybrid effectiveness-implementation design allows us to engage multilevel stakeholders throughout this process, evaluate the effectiveness of the enhanced MSS, and identify critical factors for wide-scale implementation. Aim 1 will focus on enhancing the previous version of MSS by collaborating with multi-level...
The purpose of this study is to find out whether N10 chemotherapy is a safe and effective treatment for children with high-risk neuroblastoma.
This is a phase 2 open-label study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of N-803 and PD-L1 t-haNK when combined with Bevacizumab in subjects with recurrent or progressive GBM. Participants will receive N-803 subcutaneously (SC), PD-L1 t-haNK intravenously (IV), and Bevacizumab IV combination therapy. Treatment for all enrolled participants will consist of repeated cycles of 28 days for a maximum treatment period of 76 weeks (19 cycles). Treatment will be administered on days 1 and day 15 of each cycle. Treatment will be discontinued if the participant reports unacceptable toxicity (not corrected with dose reduction), withdraws consent, if the Investigator feels it is no longer...
High-grade neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) comprise both well-differentiated grade 3 neuroendocrine tumors (G3 NETs) and poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs). Mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasms (MiNENs) nearly always include poorly differentiated NEC as the neuroendocrine component. Liposomal irinotecan hydrochloride and NALIRIFOX (liposomal irinotecan hydrochloride with fluorouracil and oxaliplatin) obtained a significant breakthrough in pancreatic cancer treatment. While the efficacy and safety of NALIRIFOX has never been investigated in patients with extrapulmonary high-grade NENs. Investigators conducted a two-stage, prospective,...
Various forms of stress can promote cancer development and growth and negatively impact the immune system's response to tumors. Beta-adrenergic and opioid receptors co-exist in many cells including immune cells and are integral components of the body's response to stress. Pre-clinical studies have demonstrated that dual blockade of these receptors can decrease tumor growth and modulate the anti-tumor immune response. This clinical trial investigates the safety and potential therapeutic benefits of combining a beta-adrenergic blocker (propranolol) and an opioid receptor antagonist (naltrexone) with immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with advanced melanoma.
This study is a prospective, randomized, parallel-controlled clinical trial, with the primary objective to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nano-crystalline megestrol acetate combined with standard treatment compared to standard treatment alone for the first-line treatment of patients with cancer-related fatigue in gastric or colorectal cancer.
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most common and malignant primary brain tumor in adults is classified as a World Health Organisation (WHO) grade 4. Surgical removal of the tumor is the primary method of treatment. Unfortunately, because GBM is a disease of the entire brain, total resection is not possible. Therefore, the use of radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy is considered as Stupp protocol. Patients with recurrent GBM will be included in the ANCHIALE study. The goal of the trial is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerance of using the NanoTherm therapy system in recurrent GBM. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. how NanoTherm therapy influences overall...
