Despite being standard of care, there are still many medical requirements related to immune checkpoint blocker based therapies such as identify patients susceptible to respond with the less adverse events, evaluate the clinical benefit of adjuvant treatment /risk of relapse and design new strategies for non-responder patients. Thus, this project aims at understanding the impact of anti-PD1 on the immune system through investigation of the phenotypic, functional, metabolic and transcriptomic profiles of circulating DC subsets and effectors in response to anti-PD1 therapy in melanoma patients. The primary objective of the study is to identify the biomarkers of response to...
The proposal is to conduct a prospective, multi-cohort study aiming to decipher molecular profiles/biological characteristics of advanced cancer patients during the course of their disease with longitudinal and sequential analyses of tumor and liquid biopsies. This approach will allow i) to develop a model in order to predict tumor response / resistance in real life conditions and to better understand adaptive mechanisms and ii) to potentially propose therapeutic options to enrolled patients following the review of the biological/molecular data generated during this study and during a Molecular Tumor Board in case of disease progression. This study will include 12 cohorts according...
Proton therapy is a powerful tool enabling oncologists to spare normal tissue around the target for irradiation much better than what can be achieved with photon irradiation. The infiltrative nature of IDH-mutated grade II and III diffuse glioma, however, renders proton therapy a potential problem. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) is the only option when trying to ensure that chances of long-term survival are not impaired seeking to reduce unwanted late treatment effects. Non-inferiority of proton therapy compared to photon irradiation is the primary endpoint of the RCT. Hence, PRO-GLIO has two main objectives. First, PRO-GLIO will evaluate if proton therapy is safe in...
The etiology and specific pathogenesis of many cardiovascular diseases such as coronary atherosclerosis, cardiomyopathy, atrial fibrillation, and stroke are still unclear. Improving diagnosis and treatment, clarifying the pathogenesis, and providing scientific basis for the prevention and treatment are hot research topics in the study of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. This study intends to collect clinical data and biological specimen data of patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and use multi-omics technology to deeply understand the pathogenic mechanisms of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases...
Extra-pulmonary (EP) poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs) represent a rare and aggressive category of neoplasms. Mixed adeno-neuroendocrine carcinomas (MANEC) are a group of rare neoplasms composed by a neuroendocrine (NE) and a non-neuroendocrine (non-NE) component, each representing at least the 30% of the neoplasm. Considering their rarity, low prevalence and poor prognosis a clear clinical, morphological and biomolecular characterization of these neoplasms has been prevented and a clinical approach universally shared is still lacking.
The study aims to investigate the prognostic significance of olfactory function in patients with glioblastoma. We are examining olfactory function at various points during therapy and correlating the results with survival data. In addition, neurocognitive tests will be carried out to correlate the results of olfactory function with the patient's cognitive abilities. Investigations into the quality of life and psychological condition of the patients are also performed. In addition to the cohort of glioblastoma patients, there is a control cohort without tumor disease in which the olfactory testing is also carried out in order to have a comparison.
Colorectal cancer (CRC), with annually increasing incidence and mortality worldwide, has become the second leading cause of cancer-related death. The development of CRC often follows the canonical normal-adenoma-carcinoma (N-A-C) sequence driven by progressive accumulation of molecular genetic events, highlighting the importance of early detection and removal of precancerous lesions. However, some patients who have had adenomas removed still have a high risk of developing new adenomas or CRC, especially for those with chronic or systemic disease, indicating that a compositive regulatory network is involved in the tumorigenesis of CRC. Additionally, despite advances in therapeutic...
This study gathers health information for the Project: Every Child for younger patients with cancer. Gathering health information over time from younger patients with cancer may help doctors find better methods of treatment and on-going care.
Context and problem In France, 61% of households own a pet, highlighting the significant role pets play in the daily lives. Patients diagnosed with brain tumors face specific challenges that may affect their ability to care their pets, including: - Progressive neurological deficits (cognitive and/or motor), limiting their autonomy, - A life-threatening prognosis. In this context, the well-being of pets when their owner's health deteriorates becomes a critical concern. Indeed: - Social isolation and the progressive loss of physical and cognitive abilities complicate pet care, particularly during prolonged hospitalizations or in the event of death, ...
This study aims to investigate if endoscopic trans-sphenoidal prolactinoma resection as a first line treatment, or as an equally valid second line treatment after a short (4-6 months) or long (>2 years) period of pretreatment with a dopamine agonist is superior to standard care for several outcome parameters. The main objectives are to investigate this for quality of life and remission rate. The secondary objectives are to investigate this for biochemical disease control, recurrence rates, clinical symptom control, tumor shrinkage on MRI, pituitary functioning, the occurrence of adverse reactions to treatment, disease burden, and cost-effectiveness.
