The goal of this study is to test a psychosocial intervention called ASCENT (ACT-based Supportive intervention for patients with CENTral nervous system tumors). This intervention was developed to help patients after being diagnosed with a brain tumor. The main question this study aims to answer is whether this intervention is feasible (i.e., possible to carry out) and acceptable (i.e., considered helpful) to patients. Participants will be asked to take part in 6 coaching sessions and complete short surveys at four different time points. Some participants will be asked to share feedback via interviews.
Dissemination of medulloblastoma is an independent risk factor of poor prognosis. Dissemination of medulloblastoma at recurrence is nearly universally fatal. ABL1 and 2 have been recently found to mediate the dissemination of medulloblastoma. Genetically inactivating ABL1 and 2 resulted in decreased leptomeningeal medulloblastoma and improved overall survival (OS) in rodent models. Asciminib is an FDA approved for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia and is well tolerated, likely due to its specificity for ABL1 and ABL2. Asciminib is a P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate and thus may be susceptible to being pumped out of tumor cells and brain endothelial cells. It is unclear if...
This single-arm, multicenter clinical study enrolled patients with advanced malignant melanoma who had failed previous first-line therapy (cutaneous melanoma patients were excluded), and patients with BRAF V600 mutations required targeted therapy.
This study is a prospective open-label, single-arm, single-center clinical study. Patients with neuroendocrine carcinoma who had not previously received standard therapy were enrolled in this study once they have signed the informed consent form (ICF) and been identified as eligible in screening. This clinical trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of surufatinib and serplulimab combined with standard chemotherapy (Platinum/Etoposide) in neuroendocrine carcinoma.
This is a Phase II, single-arm, multicenter trial for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer who have brain metastases and no known actionable mutations. Eligible patients will receive a combination of Datopotamab-deruxtecan, Carboplatin, and Pembrolizumab every three weeks for four cycles, followed by maintenance therapy with Datopotamab-deruxtecan and Pembrolizumab until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. Patients with intracranial progression but no systemic progression may receive stereotactic radiosurgery and continue treatment based on the investigator's decision.
The clinical trial is intended to assess for clinical evidence of Clemastine Fumarate as a myelin repair therapy in patients with acute inflammatory injury-causing demyelination as measured by multi-parametric MRI assessments. No reparative therapies exist for the treatment of acute demyelinating lesions. Clemastine fumarate was identified along with a series of other antimuscarinic medications as a potential remyelinating agent using the micropillar screen (BIMA) developed at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). Following in vivo validation, an FDA IND exemption was granted to investigate clemastine for the treatment of multiple sclerosis in the context of...
Whole Brain Radiotherapy (WBRT) is widely used to manage brain metastases and primary brain tumors, but it frequently leads to cognitive decline, affecting patients' quality of life. Cognitive impairments after WBRT can manifest in various domains, including memory, attention, executive function, and processing speed. These changes are attributed to direct radiation damage to neural tissues, particularly the hippocampus and white matter tracts, as well as secondary effects such as inflammation and vascular injury. Existing literature reports that up to 30% of patients may experience significant cognitive deterioration after WBRT, with the degree of impairment influenced by...
This is a phase 1b/2a study including a dose escalation part (Phase 1b) and an extension part (Phase 2a). Both parts will be open-label, multicenter study of OPM-101 combined with the anti-PD-1 pembrolizumab as per standard of care in patients with MM who have been receiving an anti-PD-1-based treatment and have shown resistance to it, as defined by the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) criteria (Kluger, 2020). The objective of the study is to assess whether the addition of OPM-101 will resensitisze the tumour to the anti-PD-1-based treatment. Potential patients will be screened for this study during the period between initial evidence of disease progression on...
1. Rational Every year, around 5,000 people in Sweden are diagnosed with malignant skin melanoma. In the early stages of malignant skin melanoma, the chance of cure with surgery is very good. At a later stage, when the melanoma has become thick and/or has spread, the risk of recurrence is greater despite radical surgery. Therefore, in these cases (even in cases of recurrence after radical surgery), additional treatment with immunotherapy is often given, as it has been shown to reduce the risk of recurrence. Immunotherapy is given for one year based on previous research studies, but it has not been investigated whether a shorter treatment period...
The aim of the AURACCO study is to evaluate the association between the onset of tinnitus and hearing loss in patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer treated by concomitant chemoradiotherapy or exclusive radiotherapy
