This is a retrospective observational cohort study, the primary objective is investigate the activity and efficacy of anti PD-1 antibodies in children, adolescents and young adult melanoma patients, with radically resected or metastatic disease
The primary objective of the PGL.EXPO-2 study is to test the hypothesis that exposure (occupational, environmental and/or domestic) to succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHi) could contribute to tumor emergence in subjects carrying a germline mutation in one of the SDHx genes.The primary endpoint will be the proportion of subjects (cases or controls) exposed to SDHi and the association with paraganglioma risk. In addition, a blood sample (10 ml on EDTA) will be proposed to the participants to the study
Background: Approximately 480 primary, non-pituitary, brain tumours were diagnosed in Ireland each year between 1994 and 2013. Recent developments in treatment have greatly improved survival for younger patients in the 15-54 age range. The Irish National Neurosurgical Centre and the St Luke's Radiation Oncology Centre at Beaumont Hospital and treat approximately 200 patients with brain tumours per year with a combination of surgery, radiotherapy (RT) and chemotherapy with RT being the most commonly used treatment modality. With improved survivorship, the prospect of individuals living for several decades with co-morbidities induced...
To collect and preserve glioblastoma tissue during standard of care tumor resection surgery and blood for future molecular and genetic testing. Tissue for research will be collected from three different regions within the same tumor to study how these regions differ in their structure, DNA, and RNA and also to compare the data obtained from this testing to imaging data found in the medical record. The goal of this study is to help us better understand what the glioblastoma tumor tissue looks like and how it functions. This understanding can lead to new therapies for the treatment of glioblastoma in the future.
The treatment of adolescents and young adults (AYA, 15 to 39 years) with malignant intra-axial CNS parenchymal tumors such as IDH-mutated gliomas, medulloblastomas and ependymomas is still not curative in all cases. The tumor biology and clinical needs to diagnose and treat these tumors are comparable across all age groups, so an integrated treatment environment overseen by adult and pediatric neuro-oncology specialists seems promising to leverage synergisms and advance diagnostic and therapeutic development in these tumors. A comprehensive, prospective and integrated biomaterial and imaging-based pipeline for the multi-faceted...
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of recombinant human interferon-α1b (IFN-α1b) combined with toripalimab and anlotinib hydrochloride in patients with unresectable advanced melanoma. This study consists of 2 phases（ Ib / II）. Phase Ib will determine the recommended phase Ⅱ dose for anlotinib hydrochloride. Phase II will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the triple combination regimens.
Patients may be considered if the cancer has come back, has not gone away after standard treatment or the patient cannot receive standard treatment. This research study uses special immune system cells called CARE T cells, a new experimental treatment. The body has different ways of fighting infection and disease. No single way seems perfect for fighting cancers. This research study combines two different ways of fighting cancer: antibodies and T cells. Antibodies are types of proteins that protect the body from infectious diseases and possibly cancer. T cells, also called T lymphocytes, are special infection-fighting blood cells...
This open label, single country trial will test if local injection of low-dose ipilimumab and nivolumab, is safe and reduces the sentinel node positivity in high-risk stage II melanoma patients.
Through the modified formulation of sodium fluorescein and methylene blue, the surface of the suspected cut edge of the patient's glioma was stained intraoperatively, and the surgical microscope image acquisition and processing system was used to determine whether the cut edge of the surgically resected tissue was positive or not. And combined with the existing multimodal surgical techniques (imaging, electrophysiology, neuronavigation and other equipment), the glioma is precisely resected.
Pemetrexed is one of the first-line chemotherapeutic agents for non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Since 2017, intrathecal pemetrexed has shown good efficacy for patients with leptomeningeal metastases from NSCLC. It has been recommended as the preferred drug for intrathecal chemotherapy by the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO) guidelines. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) play a promising role in treating non-small cell lung cancer patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. An international multi-center clinical study published in 2019 confirmed that double dose of osimertinib showed...
