This phase I trial investigates the side effects and best dose of Peposertib, and to see how well it works in combination with radiation therapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed MGMT unmethylated glioblastoma or gliosarcoma. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Peposertib may further stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving Peposertib with radiation therapy may work better...
Neurosurgery is a risk factor for delirium. Dexmedetomidine might reduce delirium by reducing neuroinflammation, improving postoperative analgesia and sleep quality. The the primary hypothesis is that perioperative administration of dexmedetomidine can reduce the incidence of postoperative delirium
This is a Phase II clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of perioperative toripalimab (anti-PD-1) combined with recombinant human endostatin (Endostar) as postoperative adjuvant therapy in patients with clinical stage II cutaneous or acral malignant melanoma. The study aims to answer: 1. Does this combination improve the 2-year recurrence-free survival (2y-RFS) compared to historical data? 2. Is the treatment safe and tolerable for patients? Participants will: 1. Receive 2 cycles of toripalimab before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy). 2. Undergo surgical removal of the tumor. 3. Post surgery, receive toripalimab every 2 weeks + Endostar...
Surgery is a key element in the treatment of melanoma, and naturally linked with an inflammatory response and recruitment of innate immune cells. Although surgery has a favorable intent, surgery-induced inflammation, neutrophils in particular, may accelerate growth of local and systemic micrometastases. Thus, improving cancer surgery and modulating the wound microenvironment in ways that benefit the patients is crucial. Repurposing already approved drugs in a cancer setting has gained increasing interest in recent years. Interestingly, tranexamic acid was recently suggested as an anti-cancer drug, capable of reducing tumor growth in experimental animal models and reducing...
This is a non-therapeutic study assessing peripheral T cell determinants of response and resistance to immunotherapy in patients with advanced melanoma.The hypothesis is that systemic T cells traffic into the tumor microenvironment (TME) can predict response and resistance to immunotherapy. These systemic tumor directed T cells can be defined by tumor/blood small conditional RNA (scRNA) using T cell receptor (TCR) as a barcode and can help predict response to PD-1 therapy.
This is a non-interventional study to prospectively test a suite of predictive biomarker models of immunotherapy resistance in patients with melanoma, non-melanoma skin cancers and other solid tumours. The study will evaluate the documentation, processes, accuracy and utility of the predictive biomarker model in clinical practice.
Proposed treatment of subjects with newly diagnosed glioblastoma with novel personalized drug regimens identified to be effective in vitro using cancer stem cells derived from their individual tumors, alongside standard of care radiation and TMZ.
PERCIMEL is an open multicentric study. The purpose of this study is to assess the interest of molecular analysis on circulating tumor DNA in the follow-up of the disease.
This research study is studying a new type of vaccine as a possible treatment for patients with glioblastoma. This research study is a Phase I clinical trial, which tests the safety of an investigational intervention and also tries to define the appropriate dose of the intervention to use for further studies. "Investigational" means that the intervention is being studied and that research doctors are trying to find more about it. It also means that the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has not approved the Personalized NeoAntigen Cancer Vaccine for any use in patients, including people with glioblastoma. The purpose of the initial study cohort (Cohort 1) is to determine if...
This phase I trial tests the safety and tolerability of an experimental personalized vaccine when given by itself and with pembrolizumab in treating patients with solid tumor cancers that have spread to other places in the body (advanced). The experimental vaccine is designed target certain proteins (neoantigens) on individuals' tumor cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving the personalized neoantigen peptide-based vaccine with pembrolizumab may be safe and effective in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.
