To evaluate the efficacy of nilatinib maleate tablets combined with capecitabine in the treatment of HER2-positive advanced esophageal/esophagogastric junction/gastric adenocarcinoma with brain metastasis.
The phase II study is performed to assess the efficacy and safety of Nimotuzumab in patients with stage IV pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms and EGFR overexpression.
The study evaluates safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics at recommended phase II dose (RP2D) and preliminary antitumor activity of Niraparib + dd-TMZ "one week on, one week off" in patients affected by recurrent GBM IDH wild-type and recurrent IDH mutant (WHO grade 2-4) gliomas. The treatment will be administered until progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, consent withdrawal, lost to follow-up or death. The entire study is expected to last approximately 40 months.
A.Background More than 90% of patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) develop multiple pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs). These tumors are the most common cause for premature death in MEN1. While functioning pNETs must be treated to reduce or cure hormonal excess, the procedures for non-functioning pNETs are yet under discussion. Treatment ranges from watchful waiting to subtotal and total pancreatectomy. The latter may represent an "overtreatment", resulting in general complications and diabetic metabolic status. The effect of somatostatin analogues (SAs) has shown promising results with regard...
This research study involves studying a device as a possible treatment for metastatic melanoma in the brain. The purpose of this study is to obtain information on the safety and effectiveness of the study device, NovoTTF-200A, in melanoma participants with brain metastases when it is combined with Pembrolizumab. The name of the study device involved in this study is: -- NovoTTF-200A The name of the drug used in this study is: -- Pembrolizumab
This is a Phase 1 open label study designed to assess the safety and tolerability of the oncolytic herpes simplex virus 1 (oHSV1) study drug, MVR-C5252, administered intratumorally by convection-enhanced delivery (CED) in patients with recurrent high-grade glioma. Once the safety and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is established in the dose escalation portion of the trial, a dose expansion cohort at the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) in patients with isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) wildtype recurrent glioblastoma (GBM) will evaluate preliminary efficacy of the study drug.
A companion platform trial to test novel targeted agents based on the patient's tumor profile.
This study will enroll metastatic (Stage IV or inoperable stage III) melanoma (MM) patients carrying a BRAF V600E/K mutation with confirmed primary resistance to standard of care immunotherapy (single agent PD-1 or a combination of CTLA-4/PD-1 blockade). Patients must be naïve to therapy with BRAF+MEK inhibitors, with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.
Tailored approaches targeting crucial oncogenes and pathways have shown successful results in a number of cancer types and offer exciting perspective in neuro-oncology. IDH (Isocitrate dehydrogenase) wild-type (IDHwt) glioblastoma (GBM) (10%) present a unique and homogenous energetic metabolism which is specifically dependent on the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) rather than on the aerobic glycolysis. OXPHOS+ IDHwt GBMs overexpress mitochondrial markers and can be specifically inhibited by mitochondrial inhibitors in vitro and in vivo. Metformin is an oral inhibitor of mitochondrial complex I and is a widely used drug in ...
The objective of the study is to assess safety of panitumumab-IRDye800 in pediatric patients undergoing brain surgery to remove suspected tumors.
