The main question it aims to answer are: 1. whether the new target delineation scheme can improve Progression-free Survival 2. whether it can reduce the incidence of radiation complications in high-grade glioma patients. Participants in trial group will be performed radiotherapy of new target delineation method after the completion of the operation within 4-6 weeks., while participants in the control group be performed radiotherapy of EORTC(European organisation for research and treatment of cancer) target delineation method.Temozolomide 75 mg / ( m² · d ) will be given to both groups of patients during radiotherapy. After radiotherapy, its dose changes to 150 ~...
The ATLAS/NOA-29 trial is a prospective, multicenter, phase III randomized controlled study evaluating whether anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL), a standardized resection technique adapted from epilepsy surgery, improves clinical outcomes in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma of the anterior temporal lobe compared to conventional gross-total resection (GTR). The rationale is based on the concept of glioblastoma as a diffusely connected tumor network, with infiltrative spread extending beyond MRI-detectable tumor margins. ATL offers a reproducible supramarginal resection approach within anatomical boundaries that are routinely respected in epilepsy surgery. Patients are...
Patients with relapsed medulloblastoma, ependymoma and ATRT have a very poor prognosis whether treated with conventional chemotherapy, high-dose chemotherapy with stem cell rescue, irradiation or combinations of these modalities. Antiangiogenetic therapy has emerged as new treatment option in solid malignancies. The frequent, metronomic schedule targets both proliferating tumor cells and endothelial cells, and minimizes toxicity. In this study the investigators will evaluate the use of biweekly intravenous bevacizumab in combination with five oral drugs (thalidomide, celecoxib, fenofibrate, and alternating cycles of daily low-dose oral etoposide and cyclophosphamide), augmented...
Background: Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are rare cancers in the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, lungs, adrenal glands, and other areas of the body. Many of these cancers have a high risk of relapse and a low chance of survival. Better treatments are needed. Objective: To test a new drug, ADCT-701, in people with NENs. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 and older with NENs. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood and urine tests. They will have imaging scans and tests of heart functioning. Their ability to perform normal daily activities will be tested. A biopsy may be needed: A sample of tissue will be removed from the...
The encephalitis mediated by antibodies against Leucine-rich, glioma inactivated 1 protein (anti-LGI1 encephalitis) predominantly affects men (M:F, 6:4) and mostly older than 60 years. The disease has two distinct clinical phases: The acute phase in which the majority of patients develop severe short-term memory deficits (unable to remember events or experiences that occurred a few minutes earlier). This memory impairment can be preceded or accompanied by one or more of the following: hyponatremia (60% of patients), a highly distinctive type of seizures called facio-brachial dystonic seizures (~40% of patients), along with confusion, irritability and other types of focal seizures...
The encephalitis mediated by antibodies against the NMDA receptor (NMDARe) predominantly affects young adults and children resulting in severe neurologic and psychiatric deficits. After overcoming the acute stage, patients are left with long-lasting behavioral, cognitive, and psychiatric alterations with important socio-family-economical implications. Here investigators postulate that a better knowledge of this stage will improve treatment decisions and outcome. In Aim 1, the post-acute stage will be clinically characterized, tools to remotely follow cognitive, behavioral and psychiatric deficits will be provided, and the impact of cognitive rehabilitation will be...
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of E-SYNC chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells after lymphodepleting chemotherapy in treating patients with EGFRvIII positive (+) glioblastoma. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is a type of treatment in which a patient's T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so the CAR T cells will attack cancer cells. T cells are taken from a patient's blood. Then the gene for a special receptor that binds to a certain protein on the patient's cancer cells is added to the T cells in the laboratory. The special receptor is called a chimeric antigen receptor. Large numbers of the CAR T...
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of anti-glycoprotein-A repetitions predominant (GARP) chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy and how well it works in treating patients with grade III or IV gliomas that have come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). CAR T-cell therapy is a type of treatment in which a patient's T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack tumor cells. T cells are taken from a patient's blood. Then the gene for a special receptor that binds to a certain protein, such as GARP, on the patient's tumor cells is added to the T cells in the laboratory. The special receptor is...
The purpose of this study is to establish the recommended doses and further evaluate the safety and preliminary antitumor activity of M3554 in participants with soft tissue sarcoma (STS) and glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype. Study details include: Study Duration per participant: Approximately 4 months
A Phase I/II Dose Escalation, Safety and Efficacy Study of HBI 0201-ESO TCRT (anti-NY-ESO-1 TCR-Gene Engineered Lymphocytes) Given by Infusion to Patients with NY-ESO-1 -Expressing Metastatic Cancers
