Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can cure patients with blood cancer and other underlying diseases. αβ-T cell and B cell depletion has been introduced to decrease GVHD and PTLD and has demonstrated effectiveness for hematologic malignancies and non-malignant diseases additionally increasing the donor pool as to allow for haploidentical transplant to safely occur. While solid tumors can be highly chemotherapy sensitive, many remain resistant and require multimodalities of treatment. Immunotherapy has been developed to harness the immune system in fighting solid tumors, though not all have targeted effects. Some solid tumors are treated with autologous transplants; however,...
Background: The radiological follow-up of diffuse gliomas is challenged by the difficult distinction of true progression from treatment-related changes. To this end, the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) Working Group has issued specific recommendation for the standardized evaluation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In addition, positron emission tomography (PET) using radiolabeled amino acids allows for the delineation of metabolically active tumor regions in brain tumors, and guidelines for PET-based response assessment have been recently proposed (PET RANO 1.0). However, well-annotated data on longitudinal PET alterations before and during treatment and follow-up...
Combined chemoradiation and radiofrequency electromagnetic field treatment for patients with glioblastoma
This is a non-randomized, open-label, multicenter Phase I/II study of AMT-253 in patients with Unresectable or Metastatic Malignant Melanoma and other Advanced Solid Tumors. This study include phase I dose escalation and phase II dose expansion.
98 participants will be randomly assigned 1:1 to the experimental group and the control group for the Phase II clinical trial,this trail is expected to be finished in 24 months
This is to study if neoadjuvant atezolizumab therapy is beneficial for patients with recurrent glioblastoma and a low mutational burden.
The human gut microbiome has been associated with many health factors but variability between studies limits the exploration of effects between them. This study aims to systematically characterize the gut microbiota of various critical chronic diseases, compare the similarities and differences of the microbiome signatures linked to different regions and diseases, and further investigate their impacts on microbiota-based diagnostic models.
This single-practice prospective cohort study aims to enhance the diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis in high-risk patients undergoing standard cardiac device implantation. By analyzing chest wall fat tissue, which is usually discarded, we aim to determine the diagnostic yield of such biopsies for amyloidosis and to develop a predictive screening model based on clinical, lab, and imaging data. The study, running from December 2023 to December 2024, expects to enroll 100 patients and may provide a new, non-invasive diagnostic avenue for this condition.
The circulating tumoral biomarkers in the blood are the object of numerous researches for several decades. The potential clinical interests of these circulating biomarkers are diagnostic, prognostic, predictive of the efficiency of targeted therapies (according to the mutational profile of the cancer), and could allow the study of the mechanisms of resistance under process. In the multiplicity of these blood potential biomarkers joins a permanent evolution of the technological means used to detect them/to quantify, as well as to estimate their clinical utility.
Studying genetic predisposition in autoimmune neurological diseases could help improve diagnostic accuracy and offer new treatment possibilities
