Participation in medical trials usually favors a particular demographic group. But there is limited research available to explain what trial attributes affect the completion of these specific demographic groups. This trial will admit a wide range of data on the clinical trial experience of glioma patients to determine which factors prevail in limiting a patient's ability to join or finish a trial. It will also try to analyze data from the perspective of different demographic groups to check for recurring trends which might yield insights for the sake of future glioma patients.
This is a single-arm, multicenter clinical trial conducted in patients ≥ 12 months of age with high-risk neuroblastoma in first complete response. 62 patients will be enrolled to receive naxitamab + GM-CSF in combination with isotretinoin. In line with post-consolidation maintenance treatment of high-risk neuroblastoma, this trial will include patients with high-risk neuroblastoma in first complete response. Patients must have completed a multimodal frontline regimen (induction and consolidation) and have achieved complete response (positive bone marrow minimal residual disease as assessed by RTqPCR is allowed) following the multi...
The goal of this clinical trial is to study the impact of Neoadjuvant ipilimumab and nivolumab for melanoma patients that had recurrence during or after adjuvant anti-PD-1 therapy. Participants will receive 2 cycles of treatment prior to their standard of care surgery. After surgery participants will receive standard of care adjuvant therapy and be followed for response.
In many cancers, early stage diagnosis and early treatment offers the best chance of a prolonged recurrence free- and overall survival. Neoadjuvant immunotherapy involves administering immune checkpoint inhibitors before surgical resection in high-risk resectable disease, such as mucosal melanoma. In resectable cancers, immune checkpoint inhibitors can enhance anti-tumour immunity by exploiting a competent immune system prior to surgery. Activating antigen-specific T cells found in the primary or baseline tumour continue to exert anti-tumour effects on remaining neoplastic cells after the resection of the original tumour, potentially...
This phase II trial tests how well tebentafusp works to shrink tumors prior to primary treatment with surgery or radiation in patients with uveal (eye) melanoma that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Tebentafusp is a drug that binds to melanoma tumor cells as well as immune cells called T-cells. This binding causes an immune response against the melanoma cells, which leads to tumor cell death. Tebentafusp has been approved for the treatment of locally advanced and unresectable uveal melanoma. Giving tebentafusp before primary treatment with surgery or...
The purpose of this research study is to learn about the safety and feasibility of giving a personalized DNA vaccine to people with brain tumors that have returned or have been resistant to treatment.
This is a prospective study of rare neuroendocrine and adrenal tumors. Subjects will be enrolled via informed consent, and blood and/or saliva and tissue will be collected. This is designed to work in conjunction with IRB#831990 which is a retrospective protocol. The University of Pennsylvania will be a contributing site with the University of Michigan as the coordinating site for the A5 alliance, a multi-institutional collaborative designed to study neuroendocrine and adrenal tumors.
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate, retrospectively and prospectively, the effect of different hormonal and neuropeptide dysfunctions on the body composition of patients suffering from hypothalamic-pituitary pathologies, and to evaluate the potential beneficial effect of surgical and medical treatments with agonists and antagonists of hypothalamic neuropeptides, currently available, on the development and treatment of adiposity and negative cross-talk between adiposity and muscle/bone tissue
In this study the investigators will select and develop potential therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for glioblastoma (GB). Activities include tissue microarray (TMA) to test monoclonal antibodies specificity and target distribution, selection of glioblastoma specific functional monoclonal antibodies, identification of candidate targets.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the addition of NG101m adjuvant therapy to standard of care treatment of glioblastoma multiforme. All subjects will receive NG101m capsules along with the standard treatment of temozolomide and radiation.
