This study is an investigator-initiated, prospective, open-label, single-arm, multicenter clinical trial aimed at exploring the antitumor activity of Lorlatinib in ALK-positive NSCLC patients with brain/ leptomeningeal metastases.
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.
Magnetic resonance imaging, MRI, is a procedure that uses radio waves, a powerful magnet, and a computer to make a series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body. The goal of this study is to determine if MR fingerprinting, new way of acquiring MRI images, can help identify the extent of tumor spread in the brain, better than routine MRI images.
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...
Background Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) is a localised radiotherapy treatment for patients with brain metastases or other benign tumours in the brain, like meningiomas. We do not currently know if, or how much, SRS affects brain function. Patients with brain tumours do not get tested routinely for their brain function. Understanding short- and long-term side-effects is important for SRS. Brain metastases patients have short life expectancies (6-months to 1-year). However, meningioma patients can live 10 years or more. SRS is used to treat both. We will use the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) to test your brain function....
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 allogeneic source will be used for Arm 2. The investigators hypothesize that ML NK cells from either an autologous source or allogeneic 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.
