The PARTNER study is an international, prospective, observational study of paediatric patients with very rare tumours.
This clinical trial examines an investigational scan (64Cu-DOTA-trastuzumab positron emission tomography [PET]/magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) in imaging patients with HER2+ breast cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastasis). Diagnostic procedures, such as 64Cu-DOTA-trastuzumab PET/MRI, may help find HER2+ breast cancer that has spread to the brain and determine whether cancer in the brain takes up trastuzumab, which may predict for response to trastuzumab deruxtecan (the standard of care chemotherapy).
This early phase I trial determines where and to what degree the tracer [68Ga] Ga-FAPI-04 accumulates in normal and cancer tissues in patients with high grade neuroendocrine cancer. PET is an established imaging technique that utilizes small amounts of radioactivity attached to very minimal amounts of tracer, in the case of this research [68Ga] Ga-FAPI-04. Because some cancers take up [68Ga] Ga-FAPI-04, it can be seen with PET. CT utilizes x-rays that traverse body from the outside. CT images provide an exact outline of organs and potential inflammatory tissue where it occurs in patient's body.
The study is designed to use infusion of a non-radioactive, naturally occurring isotope of glucose (13C) in patients undergoing surgical resection for a newly identified brain mass to obtain the metabolic phenotype of the tumor, and correlate it with the histopathological diagnosis. In each patient, 13C NMR spectral analysis of tumor extracts will be obtained after intraoperative infusion of [U-13C]glucose or [1,2-13C]glucose. Whenever feasible, patients will undergo 3 preoperative imaging studies - 18FDG-PET, diffusion tensor imaging with 1H-spectroscopy on 3T MR scanner, and ultra high resolution MR imaging on the 7T MR scanner. The results of these imaging studies will be...
There is a variety of tumors affecting the pituitary gland in childhood; some of these tumors (eg craniopharyngioma) are included among the most common central nervous system tumors in childhood. The gene(s) involved in the pathogenesis of these tumors are largely not known; their possible association with other developmental defects or inheritance pattern(s) has not been investigated. The present study serves as a (i) screening/training, and, (ii) a research protocol. As a screening and training study, this protocol allows our Institute to admit children with tumors of the hypothalamic-pituitary unit to the pediatric endocrine clinics and wards of the NIH Clinical Center for...
EGFR mutation positive advanced NSCLC patients with CNS metastases were associated with poor prognosis. Furmonertinib showed promising CNS efficacy in doses of 80 mg orally once daily or higher in patients with EGFR T790M mutation positive NSCLC. This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of furmonertinib in the treatment of EGFR-sensitive mutation positive NSCLC patients with brain metastasis.
This study was a phase I safety and tolerability clinical trial conducted in a single-center, open-label, 3+3 design with dose escalation.
This is a prospective, open, single-center study evaluating the efficacy and safety of surufatinib Combined With Temozolomide and S-1 as the first-line treatment of advanced neuroendocrine tumors
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...
