The purpose of this study is to examine the use of activated T cells (ATCs) to assess the safety and tolerability of autologous activated T cells, as measured by the number of Grade 3 or higher toxicities, the number of serious adverse events, and treatment-related toxicities, according to National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Version 5, to find the maximum tolerated dose. The secondary objectives include evaluating the rate of overall survival, rate of progression-free survival, health-related quality of life parameters, overall response rate, immune response, and tumor stem cell antigen expression.
Clinical studies, with a distinct emphasis on medullary thyroid cancer, play a pivotal role in evaluating the safety and effectiveness of novel treatments for this condition. These trials serve as essential tools to determine whether new medications surpass conventional therapies, providing substantial evidence to endorse their broader adoption. The primary objective is to meticulously examine trial completion rates and voluntary withdrawals within this specific patient group. By actively participating in this observational study plays a critical role in pushing medical knowledge forward and advancing care for individuals suffering from the medullary thyroid cancer.
This clinical trial tests how well a digital treatment platform using a mobile application works for the delivery of home-based sequential therapy in patients with glioma. Access to specialized neuro-oncology care in the United States for patients with glioma is critically deficient. Care at centers with neuro-oncology specialists is associated with improved survival outcomes, yet many patients have limited access due to distance, disease-related disability, or lack of financial resources. The application provides patients continuous access to their care team in the home setting. A digital treatment platform may increase clinical trial participation and accelerate development of...
SI-053 is a novel powder formulation containing temozolomide (TMZ), an alkylating chemotherapy agent, in an excipient which forms a viscous gel upon reconstitution in water. SI-053 will be used as an add-on to SoC for newly diagnosed GBM. SoC consists of maximal safe resection followed by radiation therapy (RT) with concomitant TMZ and adjuvant chemotherapy with TMZ. For MGMT promoter methylated GBM, lomustine and TMZ may be administered plus radiation therapy
Brief Summary of the Study: This study is a prospective, randomized, sham-controlled, triple-blind trial investigating whether combining individualized alpha neurofeedback (NF) with cognitive training (Cogmed) can improve cognitive functioning in pediatric brain tumor survivors (PBTS), a group at risk for persistent cognitive difficulties after cancer treatment. Participants (ages 6-18) who have completed primary cancer therapy and report cognitive problems are randomly assigned to either (1) individualized alpha NF plus Cogmed or (2) sham NF plus Cogmed. Both interventions include eight one-hour sessions over four weeks, with neurofeedback (real or sham) followed by Cogmed...
This study focuses on developing an innovative, artificial intelligence-based model using optic nerve sheath ultrasound videos to predict intracranial pressure in lung cancer patients with leptomeningeal metastasis. The study also aims to create a multimodal clinical prognosis model that can help improve patient outcomes. By analyzing ultrasound data from patients at two major medical centres, the research seeks to provide more accurate and early predictions of complications related to elevated intracranial pressure, ultimately improving treatment and management strategies for these patients.
This study evaluates the feasibility and accuracy of an AI-powered mobile platform (NuvanaDx) for early detection of skin cancer, including melanoma, using smartphone-based imaging. The platform is designed to improve access to early diagnosis, reduce waiting times, and support triage into appropriate care pathways.
To explore the efficacy and safety of irinotecan liposome injection combined with 5-FU/LV in the treatment of advanced neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of allogeneic γδ T cells combined with recombinant human interferon-α1b (IFN-α1b) or PD-1 monoclonal antibody in neoadjuvant treatment of patients with Stage III-IV resectable melanoma.
Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extracranial solid tumor of embryonal origin in children. According to the International Neuroblastoma Risk Group (INRG) staging criteria and the International Neuroblastoma Staging System (INSS) ,NB preoperative staging is divided into L1, L2, M and Ms stages, the postoperative staging is divided into 1 to 4 stages and 4s stage. Among them, 4/M stage is of the highest degree of malignancy and the worst prognosis. Despite the aggressive combination therapy, the 5-year survival rate (OS) is still less than 15%, and the 2-year relapse rate is 80%. Currently, no effective treatment is accessible for refractory/relapsed stage 4/M NB after...
