This clinical trial tests the safety and side effects of tumor treating fields in treating patients with gliomas located in the brainstem. Optune is a wearable, portable, treatment that creates low-intensity, wave-like electric fields called tumor treating fields (TTFields), which interfere with cancer cell division. TTFields may prevent growth or decrease size of gliomas in patients
This clinical trial evaluates the safety and feasibility of tumor treating fields (TTF) in the treatment of spinal leptomeningeal disease in patients with breast cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Patients wear the portable Novo TTF-200T device that produces electric fields to target areas on the body to stop the growth of tumor cells. The information from this study will help researchers develop a better treatment for leptomeningeal metastases in the future.
Glioma is the most common primary malignant intracranial tumor, characterized by limited clinical treatment options and extremely poor prognosis. There is an urgent need for the development of new technologies and clinical practice. With the advancement of immunotherapy, tumor therapeutic vaccines have emerged as a hot topic in the field of solid tumor immunotherapy. Several clinical trials have confirmed that tumor vaccines can improve the prognosis of glioma patients. Vaccines are the first systemic treatment technology in nearly 30 years that can simultaneously extend the overall survival of patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma and recurrent glioblastoma in Phase...
This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TY-9591 in first-line treatment of patients with EGFR-sensitive mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer with brain metastases compared to Osimertinib.
In this proposal, the investigators introduce advanced diffusion and volumetric imaging techniques along with innovative, automated image parcellation methods to identify critical brain regions, incorporate into cognitive-sparing SRS, and analyze biomarkers of radiation response. This work will advance the investigators' understanding of neurocognitive changes after brain SRS and help create interventions that preserve cognitive-function in brain metastases patients.
This is a prospective longitudinal multi-centre observational study conducted in the United Kingdom, in patients with metastatic cutaneous BRAF V600 mutation-positive melanoma assigned to receive encorafenib and binimetinib. The aim of this study is to learn about how encorafenib and binimetinib perform, patients' experiences of using them, and how they might affect patient's quality of life, in the real world, when these treatments are prescribed by doctors instead of in a clinical trial. Participants will complete electronic data entry via questionnaires over a 24-month period. Site research teams will also complete electronic data entry using participants' medical records over...
This phase I study is designed to establish the safety, maximally tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of the ERK inhibitor ulixertinib (BVD-523) when combined with the CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib.
The primary objective of this study is to identify the molecular identity profiles of all cellular states that characterize the progression from benign nevi to malignant melanoma in CAYA patients with L/GCMN. The secondary objectives are: - To longitudinally characterize the cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from CAYA patients. - To improve the early diagnosis and treatments for intermediate conditions such as L/GCMN through evidence-based interpretation of personal risk from endogenous or exogenous sources. - To test pre-clinical strategies to best model and improve patient response.
The unhide® Project is a non-interventional, longitudinal research study designed to establish a secure data repository of demographic, health, and lifestyle information from individuals with brain inflammation and related neuroinflammatory conditions. Participants in the United States aged 2 years and older will provide self-reported health data, biometrics, and symptom diaries through the MyDataHelps™ app (branded as unhide® for this study). The goal is to create comprehensive longitudinal profiles to facilitate research into disease subtypes, causes, diagnostics, and potential treatments, as well as to identify potential participants for future optional studies....
The usual standard of care for patients over 65 diagnosed with glioblastoma ("GBM") or Grade 4 astrocytoma, IDH-mutant is a 3-week course of radiotherapy, with concurrent and adjuvant temozolomide (TMZ). This radiation dose and length of treatment are less than what would be given for younger patients, primarily due to unclear survival benefits from randomized trials. However, survival remains dismal, and may be partially due to the reduced radiation dose. Recent studies investigating this have found that increased radiation dose (to the equivalent of what is normally given over 6 weeks in younger patients) over 3 weeks is well-tolerated and has improved survival...
