This randomized phase III trial studies how well radiation therapy works compared with observation in treating patients with newly diagnosed grade II meningioma that has been completely removed by surgery. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors.
Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs) especially higher generation TKI have higher CNS penetration rates and have shown favorable response rates in brain metastases. Brain radiotherapy/surgery is the standard treatment in brain metastases especially symptomatic metastases, however, the role of local treatment especially in driver mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer with asymptomatic brain metastases is being questioned given their potential side effects. No randomized trial has shown the superiority of early vs delayed cranial RT in asymptomatic BM of driver mutated NSCLC.
This protocol includes 2 independent studies. Both studies are multicenter studies, evaluating different therapeutic approaches in two different populations of patients: - Study 1, a randomized phase-II study evaluating the efficacy of Intra-Arterial Chemotherapy (IAC) with melphalan and topotecan versus melphalan alone, both in association with ophthalmologic treatments. - Study 2, a minimally invasive interventional study evaluating the results on visual function following reference treatment with intravenous (IV) chemotherapy in association with ophthalmologic or local ophthalmological treatment without IV chemotherapy.
This phase Ib study evaluates the safety and efficacy of OH2 in combination with HX008, an anti-PD-1 antibody, in patients with Melanoma. OH2 is an oncolytic virus developed upon genetic modifications of the herpes simplex virus type 2 strain HG52, allowing the virus to selectively replicate in tumors. Meanwhile, the delivery of the gene encoding human granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) may induce a more potent antitumor immune response.
To evaluate the efficacy of OH2 injection in patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma who have failed at least second-line standard therapy, using investigator-selected salvage chemotherapy or best supportive care (BSC) as controls.
This phase I study evaluates the safety and efficacy of OH2 as single agent or in combination with Keytruda, an anti-PD-1 antibody, in patients with malignant solid tumors (Melanoma). OH2 is an oncolytic virus developed upon genetic modifications of the herpes simplex virus type 2 strain HG52, allowing the virus to selectively replicate in tumors. Meanwhile, the delivery of the gene encoding human granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) may induce a more potent antitumor immune response.
In the first phase, it mainly explores the safety, tolerability and preliminary effectiveness of two doses of OH2 injection in the treatment of patients with recurrent central nervous system tumors; to evaluate the biodistribution and virus shedding of OH2 injection administered in the tumor cavity; to evaluate the level of anti-HSV2 antibody in patients when OH2 injection is administered intracavitary to tumor; to determine the phase II recommended dose (RP2D) of OH2 injection in the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma. Phase IIa, to evaluate the preliminary efficacy of OH2 injection in the treatment of patients with recurrent glioblastoma after surgery, and to further evaluate...
This is a prospective phase II multi-center trial of the combination of the PARP inhibitor olaparib with the immune checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab in advanced uveal melanoma.
This single center, single arm, open-label, phase I study will assess the safety of laparoscopically harvested autologous omentum, implanted into the resection cavity of recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patients.
Rationale: The randomized trial NADINA has demonstrated that neoadjuvant treatment with nivolumab with ipilimumab improves event-free survival (EFS) in patients with macroscopic resectable stage III melanoma. In this study, therapeutic lymph node dissection (TLND) was standard of care, showing that patients achieving a major pathological response (MPR, i.e., ≤10% residual viable tumor bed) have an excellent outcome (EFS and Distant Metastasis Free Survival (DMFS)). The PRADO trial indicated that the MPR definition can also be revealed from a surrogate lymph node response, the index lymph node (ILN), allowing sparing the extensive surgery in MPR patients. In these MPR patients the...
