Novel treatments are urgently needed for meningiomas progressing after local therapies (surgery, radiotherapy). So far, no effective systemic therapies are known in this situation. The LUMEN-1 trial will investigate in a prospective randomized trial the efficacy of the precision medicine "theranostic" concept of combining diagnostic patient selection using PET-based molecular imaging and target-specific therapeutic intervention using a systemically administered radioligand. The rationale for the LUMEN-1 trial is based on the following: (a) high somatostatin receptor (SSTR) expression in meningiomas, (b) wide-spread availability of clinically established SSTR-PET imaging, (c)...
Background: Some cancers have high levels of proteins called somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) on the surface of the tumors. These tumors can be in the lung, head and neck, digestive tract, kidneys, and in or near the adrenal glands. Researchers want to know if drug treatments that target SSTRs can help shrink these types of tumors. Objective: To test a study drug ([212Pb]VMT-Alpha-NET) in people with tumors that have SSTRs. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with tumors of the lung, kidneys, head and neck, digestive tract, or adrenal glands that have SSTRs. Their tumors must have spread to other organs and cannot be removed with...
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with malignant gliomas undergoing neurosurgical procedures using 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)-based photodynamic therapy
Pediatric malignancies are the second leading cause of death in the pediatric population, with solid tumors accounting for approximately 60% of all pediatric malignancies. The pathological diagnosis of pediatric solid tumors is highly complex and specialized, because of its diverse tissue morphology, rare tumor subtypes and lack of labeling data, the traditional pathological diagnosis relies on the experience of senior pathologists, but in actual clinical practice, due to the lack of expert resources and inconsistent diagnostic standards, more efficient and accurate auxiliary diagnostic tools are urgently needed. In this study, we aim to construct a multimodal dataset by...
The objective of the BELGICA trial is to evaluate if radiotherapy could be given in a more focused manner in patients with glioblastoma in order to reduce side effects and improve quality of life. What is glioblastoma (GBM)? GBM is the most common and aggressive tumour originating from the brain, affecting approximately 600 patients per year in Belgium. What is the current treatment for patients with GBM? The treatment consists in surgical resection of the tumour (when feasible), followed by a combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. What is the outcome of patients with GBM? Despite multimodal treatment (surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy), the life expectancy of...
This is a Phase 1 open label, first in human study of C5252 monotherapy designed to determine the safety and tolerability of a single intratumoral (IT) injection of C5252 in patients with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma (GBM).
This is a multicenter, single-arm, two-part study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Lutetium [177Lu] Oxyoctreotide Injection in patients with inoperable, locally advanced or metastatic, progressive, advanced somatostatin receptor (SSTR) positive neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) other than grade G1/G2 gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NET).
Clinical research can sometimes favor certain demographic groups. Additionally, there is limited research that delves into the factors that influence participation in clinical study, both positive and negative. The goal is to identify the obstacles and challenges that prevent participation in glioblastoma multiforme clinical study, as well as the reasons for withdrawal or discontinuation. Insights gained from this study will ultimately benefit those with glioblastoma multiforme who may be invited to participate in clinical trial in the years to come.
This is a Phase II open-label study to investigate the safety and efficacy of ACT001 in patients with DIPG and H3K27-altered HGG.
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.
