The investigators are interested in finding out how Prolonged Nightly Fasting (PNF) and/or health education may impact health and cancer recovery for breast cancer patients and survivors.
The trial is designed as a multicenter randomized controlled study. 246 patients with presumed Glioblastoma Multiforme in eloquent areas on diagnostic MRI will be selected by the neurosurgeons according the eligibility criteria (see under). After written informed consent is obtained, the patient will be randomized for an awake craniotomy (AC) (+/-123 patients) or craniotomy under general anesthesia (GA) (+/-123 patients), with 1:1 allocation ratio. Under GA the amount of resection of the tumour has to be performed within safe margins as judged by the surgeon during surgery. The second group will be operated with an awake craniotomy procedure where the resection boundaries for motor...
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and effectiveness of NV-A01 in the treatment of advanced glioma patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. The safety of NV-A01 in the treatment of advanced glioblastoma patients. 2. The effectiveness of NV-A01 in treating patients with advanced glioblastoma.
This prospective, multicenter, open-label clinical trial is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of rapamycin in the treatment of communicating hydrocephalus secondary to intraventricular hemorrhage. Additionally, the underlying pathogenic mechanisms associated with this particular type of hydrocephalus will be investigated in greater depth, and populations that may benefit from rapamycin therapy will be identified.
Prospective, single-centre study with the central question of how the metabolome from blood samples, different body fluids and tissues between patients patients with malignant melanoma in different tumour tumour stages and healthy patients and whether this is suitable for early detection of initial diagnosis, recurrence or stage shift at an early stage. The biosamples are collected in the BioBank Dresden and used for the NMR and LC-MS analyses described here. It is planned to use the biosamples for further analyses.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of thiotepa and pomalidomide in the treatment of relapsed/refractory (R/R) primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL).
A greater extent of resection of the contrast-enhancing (CE) tumor part has been associated with improved outcomes in high-grade glioma patients. Recent results suggest that resection of the non-contrast-enhancing (NCE) part might yield even better survival outcomes (supramaximal resection, SMR). Therefore, this study evaluates the efficacy and safety of SMR with and without mapping techniques in HGG patients in terms of survival, functional, neurological, cognitive, and quality of life outcomes. Furthermore, it evaluates which patients benefit the most from SMR, and how they could be identified preoperatively. This study is an international, multicenter, prospective, 2-arm...
Resection of the vestibular schwannoma leads to acute peripheral or combined vestibular loss caused by a surgical lesion to the branches of the vestibular nerve and, less frequently also the lesion of the cerebellum. The lesion presents in patients with postural instability, vertigo, oscillopsia, and vegetative symptoms that may accompany it. The organism reacts to this state with the process of central compensation with the significant role of the cerebellum. The goal of the rehabilitation is to support this process and thus to make recovery faster and more efficient since not all patients are capable of complete restoration of the vestibular function. Up to date,...
Individual overexpression of the three miRNAs negatively affects cell viability and proliferation mainly in grade III IDH-wild type cells, while in higher grade cells, the effect is more pronounced when the entire signature is overexpressed, individual and combined overexpression of the signature members is able to determine a significant reduction in both migration and invasion. Therefore, ectopic expression of the miRNAs identified by us has a negative impact on cell viability, proliferation and apoptosis, but above all on migration and invasion.
This Phase I/II study evaluates the safety and efficacy of autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) therapy combined with Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) immunotherapy in patients with Advanced Brain Cancer including Gliomas and Meningiomas . Lifileucel (Amtagvi), the first FDA-approved TIL therapy, has demonstrated significant success in treating unresectable or metastatic melanoma by utilizing the patient's own immune cells to combat cancer. This study aims to apply a similar approach to Brain cancer. TILs will be harvested from patients' tumors, expanded in vitro, and infused back into the patients following a non-myeloablative lymphodepletion regimen. Pembrolizumab, a...
