Secondary involvement of the central nervous system (CNS), such as CNS relapse after treatment or progression during treatment, is a rare but deadly occurrence in patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), particularly in cases of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and transformed follicular lymphoma (FL). Despite the grim prognosis associated with secondary CNS involvement, no definitive treatment strategy exists. Selinexor®, an oral, first-in-class, potent selective inhibitor of nuclear export that binds to XPO1, leads to the nuclear retention of tumor suppressor and growth regulator proteins, as well as topoisomerase II enzymes, thereby restoring their...
The study involves enrollment of patients with sebaceous carcinoma, Merkel's carcinoma, Porocarcinoma, Melanoma, and squamous cell Ca of the ocular surface and adnexa both primary and relapsed after surgical and/or radiation-chemotherapy treatment at the Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli, IRCCS. The study will last 9 years: 1 year will be devoted to the first phase of the study. Patient enrollment will continue for an additional 3 years, and 5 years will be devoted overall to patient follow-up so that survival outcomes at 1-3 and 5 years can be assessed in a congruent number of patients. A preliminary analysis of the data at 1 year (pilot phase), an analysis at...
The registry of this study was subjected to patients who were radiologically diagnosed with a non-malignant brain tumor at Seoul National University Hospital since 2001, and who have had magnetic resonance (MR) re-examination after first MR exam or will be re-examined because it was determined that immediate treatment would not be needed at the first visit to the hospital. In all MRs taken by patients, the date of imaging and the volume of the tumor are measured, and we aim to establish a natural growth history for non-malignant brain tumors.
This is a non-inferiority, randomised controlled trial to investigate the effect of stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) compared to separation surgery followed by SABR in ambulatory patients with malignant epidural spinal cord compression (MESCC). The primary objective of the project is investigating the effect of SABR compared to separation surgery followed by SABR in ambulatory patients with MESCC on retaining ambulatory function. The primary endpoint of the study is ambulatory function 3 months post treatment defined as: being able to walk 10m without aid; being able to walk 10m with aid (cane, rollator, one persons help, …); not being able to walk....
This early phase I trial tests the safety, side effects and how well medication combinations of dasatinib, quercetin, fisetin and temozolomide work in treating patients with glioma for which the patient has received treatment in the past (previously treated) and for tumor cells that remain after attempts to treat the tumor have been made (residual disease). Dasatinib is in a class of medications called tyrosine kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals tumor cells to multiply, which may help keep tumor cells from growing. Quercetin and fisetin are compounds found in plants. They have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and help...
This is a multicenter prospective single arm phase II study, and the purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sequential treatment regimens with RO-MTX after pomalidomide, orelabrutinib, rituximab (POR) in newly-diagnosed primary central nervous system lymphoma, and explore the feasibility of chemo-free treatment in PCNSL. The primary objective was the overall response rate (ORR; defined as partial response [PR] or better) after 4 cycles of POR.
This study examines whether repeated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)s scan helps identify changes in the tumor during radiation and chemotherapy treatment in patients with high grade glioma. Additional MRIs scan may help researchers to see changes in the status of the disease. Seeing these changes may result in changes to the treatment plan.
This trial studies how well serial magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and MR spectroscopic imaging work in characterizing lower grade glioma. Diagnostic procedures, such as MR imaging and MR spectroscopic imaging, may detect serial changes in lower grade glioma. This study may help researchers learn more about practical ways of evaluating and standardizing treatment in patients with brain tumors.
This is a phase 1 study to determine the feasibility and utility of using serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess treatment response during and after radiation therapy (standard of care cancer treatment) for participants with advanced esophageal cancer, glioblastoma, prostate cancer, vulvar cancer or pediatric glioma. The research study procedures include three MRI scans (one before, one during, and one after standard of care cancer radiation therapy) for participants with advanced esophageal cancer, glioblastoma, prostate cancer, vulvar cancer or pediatric glioma. The research study procedures include: - Screening for eligibility - Three MRI scans
Recent advances in understanding how cancer develops and spreads have led to effective new treatments and improved outcomes for patients with melanoma. However, we know that these new treatments do not work for all patients: some do not respond to them and some initially respond but then develop resistance. The overall aim of this study will be to collect tumour biopsies, biomarkers present in the blood, and other biological specimens which can be used to try to understand why resistance to anti-cancer treatment occurs, and to develop predictive biomarkers of this resistance in patients with locally advanced and metastatic malignant melanoma. The study will be open to NHS...
