Gastroentero-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (GEP-NETs) are regarded as a fairly rare disease. They are derived from the neuroendocrine system of the gastrointestinal tract and the pancreas and share common clinical features. So far, there is still uncertainty about the cell biology and mechanistic regulation of these tumours. Therefore targeted treatment is limited and management challenging. Treatment options include surgery, medical and ablative therapy, and more recently peptide-receptor radionuclide therapy. In order to better understand the characteristics of GEP-NETs and to evaluate treatment strategies, the SwissNET ...
Cancers attract myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) that prevent our own immune responses from destroying the cancer. This study will be the first study to begin to determine if the newly discovered drug SX-682 can block cancers from attracting MDSCs. This first study will enroll participants with melanoma, as melanoma cancer has been shown to be able to attract MDSCs. The study will begin to determine if SX-682 is a safe and effective treatment of melanoma. It is thought that SX-682 will block MDSCs from going to the cancer, and thus will allow a patient's own immune system to attack the cancer. The first participants...
International registry for cancer patients evaluating the feasibility and clinical utility of an Artificial Intelligence-based precision oncology clinical trial matching tool, powered by a virtual tumor boards (VTB) program, and its clinical impact on pts with advanced cancer to facilitate clinical trial enrollment (CTE), as well as the financial impact, and potential outcomes of the intervention.
Children and adolescents treated for a brain tumor often experience fatigue and cognitive symptoms, such as slowed information processing and inattention. These symptoms may cause difficulty carrying out daily activities at home and at school. There are few well-researched, non-pharmacological interventions aimed at improving symptoms of fatigue and by extension cognitive symptoms. Systematic bright light exposure has been shown to improve symptoms of fatigue in adult survivors of cancer and children treated for some forms of cancer. This is a pilot/feasibility study and the first known study in children treated for a brain tumor....
Phase I clinical trials are designed as open-label, dose-escalation and dose-expansion clinical studies, the main purpose of which is to explore the tolerability, safety, cytokinetic characteristics and RP2D and preliminary observation of the efficacy of the study drug in subjects with B7-H3-positive relapsed/refractory neuroblastoma.
This is a single arm open-label multicenter phase I/II investigation of combination lenalidomide/Tafasitamab in patients with relapsed central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma. This is the first study to examine a naked anti-CD19 monoclonal antibody in relapsed CNS lymphoma patients as well as the combination of anti-CD19 antibody plus an Immunomodulatory imide drugs (IMiDs) in CNS lymphomas. This study will also test the novel hypothesis that Tafasitamab enhances blood-brain barrier permeability, a potential property that could have broad clinical implications.
The investigator propose a single-center randomized phase II controlled study designed to compare the management of first recurrence of GBM using etoposide versus tamoxifen.
This a prospective real-world navigation study using tumor DNA sequencing technology to sequence genes of previously treated and refractory gastrointestinal tumors, which are generally considered to be highly heterogeneous and complex, to screen potential molecular targeted drugs for individualized treatment. This study may provide feasibility and response information, which will be the basis for designing better randomized trials, which may change the pattern of cancer treatment. If the hypothesis is finally proved, it will help doctors and molecular biologists to choose the best drug (or combination of drugs) based on the ...
Multicenter Phase 2 study of 212Pb-DOTAMTATE enrolling adult subjects with positive somatostatin positive neuroendocrine tumors with either no prior history of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT naive) or prior history of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (Previous PRRT)
The primary aim of the study is to establish the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) of 225Ac-MTI-201 in participants with metastatic uveal melanoma. The secondary aims are to describe the pharmacokinetics of 225Ac-MTI-201 and the toxic effects of 225Ac-MTI-201 in participants with metastatic uveal melanoma.
