The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the combination of D2C7-IT+2141-V11 administered in the non-enhancing tumor of patients with resected recurrent glioblastoma (rGBM) via convection enhanced delivery (CED), followed by subcutaneous cervical perilymphatic injections (CPLIs) of 2141-V11 2 and 4 weeks post infusion, then every 3 weeks for a year, and every 4-6 weeks thereafter if patients benefit from therapy.
This phase II trial tests how well defibrotide works in preventing transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) in patients with high-risk neuroblastoma undergoing tandem transplants (hematopoietic stem cell transplant [HSCT]). TMA is a potential life-threatening complication of stem cell transplant. TMA is a possible side effect of the chemotherapy (conditioning regimen) patients receive to help treat high-risk neuroblastoma, because these medicines can sometimes damage the blood vessel walls in the body. This damage leads to formation of tiny blood clots in organs, especially the kidney. This then causes organ damage...
The primary objective of this study, sponsored by Travera in Massachusetts, is to validate whether the mass response biomarker has potential to predict response of patients to specific therapies or therapeutic combinations using isolated tumor cells from varying cancers and biopsy formats.
Pathologists provide the current gold standard in skin lesion diagnostics, most often primarily based on the interpretation of histological slides. Still, it has been suggested that pathologists' diagnostic accuracy and confidence could be improved if they gained access to additional clinical information and in-vivo clinical and dermoscopic images of melanocytic tumors. This study examines the effect of digital training for pathologists in interpreting dermoscopic and clinical skin tumor images. Aim: To examine how case-based online training in interpreting clinical and dermoscopic images affects a pathologist's ability to...
Historically, participation in clinical research is highly skewed towards particular demographic groups of people. This study will invite several participants to gather a wide range of information on clinical trial experiences for neuroblastoma patients. The aim of the study is to identify the factors that limit the ability of a person to enroll in, as well as complete a clinical trial for treatment of neuroblastoma. The data collected from this study will help improve future outcomes for all neuroblastoma patients as well as those in under-represented demographic groups.
Carcinoid Heart Disease (CHD) is a rare form of heart disease, occurring in over 50% of the patients with carcinoid syndrome. Pathophysiology, prognostic factors of development of Carcinoid Heart Disease and progression of disease remain unclear. This observational multicenter cohort study is designed to study the occurrence of Carcinoid Heart Disease in patients with differentiated carcinoid tumors, to describe numerous factors influencing the occurrence, severity, progression and long-term survival of patients with Carcinoid Heart Disease. Basic informations and detailed diagnosis informations (oncological and cardiac...
Phaeochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) are tumours of the adrenal medulla and extra-adrenal sympathetic nervous system, some which can become metastatic. It is a very rare disease and the tumours are often detected late. Approximately 50 % of the tumours are caused by germline genetic variants screening programmes are recommended for patients and their family members; however, they are not yet well-targeted with respect to individual prognosis. In this study the investigatorscaim to characterize the genotype-phenotype associations in all Danish patients (n=400) diagnosed with PPGLs who have been followed in tertiary centres ...
The purpose of this study is to discover the potential convenience and ease of using a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technique, named Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (or MRF), to achieve high-quality images within a short scan time of 5 min for viewing the entire brain. This is an advanced quantitative assessment of brain tissues. This method is being applied with IVIM MRI to be able to tell the difference between a brain with radiation necrosis and a brain with tumor recurrence. Participants will consist of individuals who have received radiation therapy in the past and were diagnosed with radiation necrosis, individuals with...
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of dexamethasone when given with azeliragon in managing cerebral edema after surgery (post-resection) in patients with glioblastoma. Cerebral edema is a pathological increase in the water mass contained within the brain interstitial space. Dexamethasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Azeliragon is an oral RAGE inhibitor. Blocking the RAGE pathway at the time of surgery (peri-operatively) may decrease cerebral edema. Giving...
An intracranial tumor, is an abnormal mass of tissue in which cells grow and multiply uncontrollably, seemingly unchecked by the mechanisms that control normal cells. More than 150 different brain tumors have been documented, but the two main groups of brain tumors are termed primary and metastatic. Primary brain tumors include tumors that originate from the tissues of the brain or the brain's immediate surroundings. Metastatic brain tumors include tumors that arise elsewhere in the body (such as the breast or lungs) and migrate to the brain, usually through the bloodstream Barbiturates, Thiopental and pentobarbital...
