The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of liquid tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (L-TIL) combined with tislelizumab as the first-line treatment in patients with advanced malignant melanoma. This study plan to include stage III or IV unresectable or metastatic cutaneous or acral malignant melanoma patients, treat with L-TIL 4 cycles with each infusion (3 -10) x10*9/m2 cells, combined with tislelizumab 200mg, iv, Q3W. It is expected that 30 patients will be enrolled in this study.
Regions of tumour whose cells (the building blocks of the tumour) are actively multiplying generate a particular type of molecular footprint (consisting of various types of proteins) compared to tumours whose cells are relatively stable. In addition, tumour cells begin to develop a network of blood vessels that not only supply them with nutrients and oxygen, but also provide a pathway for tumour spread. There is a critical period between when these proteins and blood vessel network develops, and when tumour growth is visible using current MRI scanning. Therefore, making the process of tumour activity visible on clinical MRI scans is...
This clinical trial tests whether a new imaging technique called magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is useful in determining the consistency of brain tumors and whether this could be used to guide surgical planning and choice of approach (the type of surgery that is needed) for patients with brain tumors. Comparing MRE with the typical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan may help researchers assess the quality, reliability, and diagnostic utility of this scan when evaluating brain tumors.
This first-in-human study will establish the human safety and radiation dosimetry of the system A amino acid transport substrate, (R)-3-[F-18]fluoro-2-methyl-2-(methylamino)propanoic acid ([F-18]MeFAMP), for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of primary and metastatic brain tumors. This study will include 3 cohorts: healthy volunteers for whole body dosimetry estimates (n=6-8, Dosimetry Cohort), patients undergoing evaluation for recurrent high grade glioma after radiation therapy (n=10, high grade glioma (HGG) Cohort), and patients with brain metastases from extra-cranial solid tumors before and after radiation therapy (n=10, ...
This is a Phase 1 open-label, study designed to characterize the safety, tolerability, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of memory-like natural killer cells (ML NK) in combination with nivolumab and relatlimab in subjects with advanced and/or metastatic melanoma. There will be two arms to test the variables of ML NK cell source. ML NK cells from an autologous source will be used for Arm 1, and ML NK cells from an allogenic source will be used for Arm 2. The investigators hypothesize that ML NK cells from either an autologous source or allogenic source are safe and tolerable in subjects with advanced and/or metastatic melanoma.
Pilot-trial of Methotrexate, Tafasitamab (Minjuvi®), Lenalidomide (Revlimid®) and Rituximab in patients ineligible for HCT-ASCT with Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL)
The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of concomitant main pancreatic duct repair or reconstruction during minimally invasive pancreatic tumor enucleation on long-term patient prognosis and quality of life.
The purpose of this pilot study is to compare a standard of care MRI scan to a non-standard of care MR imaging with portable (0.064 Tesla) MRI following the administration of non-SOC contrast called Gadopiclenol on 10 subjects with known brain tumors. Participants will be randomized to receive either standard MRI or portable MRI first following contrast injection
This study is designed to evaluate the role of Oxygen Enhanced (OE) Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Blood Oxygenation Level Dependent (BOLD) MRI in detecting regions of hypoxic tumour and to evaluate their use as imaging methods to selectively deliver targeted radiotherapy to regions of aggressive disease.
The sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) are the first lymph nodes (LNs) to drain the tumor site and therefore the first LNs to bare metastases. Hence the importance to investigate these LNs for the best treatment strategy. Current-standard-of-care for melanoma patients with a melanoma stage of pT1b or higher, involve a surgical procedure, referred to as SLN biopsy (SLNB). The SLNB procedure involves a combined detection procedure using a radio-active tracer and blue dye followed by surgical dissection and evaluation of the LNs at the histopathology department. Due to the use of radioisotopes, this procedure suffers from several disadvantages...
