ReciDOPA is a phase II, single-stage randomized, multicenter, prospective trial assessing the efficacy of an irradiation protocol based on Intensity-modulated radiation therapy with simultaneous-integrated boost guided by FDOPA-PET in patient with recurrent glioblastoma.
It is a single-center, prospective, observational,non-randomized study of newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients conducted in a tertiary hospital. The investigators examine the psychological stress, immune biomarker changes, quality of life, and disease progression of patients with glioblastoma at five-time points. The study had two cohorts, a high-stress cohort and a low-stress cohort, which are grouped after initial recruitment. Both groups undergo total resection of tumors and received 3 months of standardized treatment with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Neither participants nor doctors but the researcher can choose which group participants are in. No one knows if one study...
It is a single-center, prospective, observational, non-randomized study of newly diagnosed diffuse astrocytoma patients conducted in a tertiary hospital. The investigators conduct an eight-year follow-up, including patients' psychological stress, immune biomarker changes, quality of life, and disease progression of patients towards secondary glioma after the first definite diagnosis. In the first year after diagnosis, patients are followed up four times at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months. After that, patients are followed up semiannually. The study had two cohorts, a high-stress cohort and a low-stress cohort, which are grouped after initial recruitment. Both groups...
It is a single-center, prospective, observational, non-randomized study of newly diagnosed oligodendroglioma patients conducted in a tertiary hospital. The investigators conduct an eight-year follow-up, including patients' psychological stress, immune biomarker changes, quality of life, and disease progression of patients towards secondary glioma after the first definite diagnosis. In the first year after diagnosis, patients are followed up four times at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months. After that, patients are followed up semiannually. The study had two cohorts, a high-stress cohort and a low-stress cohort, which are grouped after initial recruitment. Both groups...
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary brain tumor, and it is well-known to be associated with a poor prognosis. MRI is the key medical technique for the diagnosis and the follow-up of GBM. By allowing for MRS studies, MRI permits a non-invasive characterization of the TME of GBM, including their metabolic characterization. The investigators propose to address the link between the MRS profile of GBM and basic clinical and biological parameters, with the aim of : i) identifying correlations between these parameters, ii) attempting to integrate clinical, biological and spectroscopic profiles of GBM. The investigators plan to recruit 30 newly diagnosed GBM patients...
Background: Cushing s disease is caused by a pituitary gland tumor. Patients with Cushing s disease suffer obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis, weakness, and hypertension. The cure is surgery to remove the pituitary tumor. Currently, MRI is the best way to find these tumors. But not all tumors can be seen with an MRI. Researchers hope giving the hormone CRH before a PET scan can help make these tumors more visible. Objective: To test whether giving CRH before a PET scan will help find pituitary gland tumors that might be causing Cushing s disease. Eligibility: People ages 8 and older with Cushing s disease that is caused by a pituitary gland tumor that cannot be reliably...
The goal of this observational study is to identify proteins that can be found in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with grade IV brain tumors, specifically glioblastomas, and correlate these proteins with progression free survival, overall survival and performance status (functionality). All participants with high probability of glioblastoma will initially be included, final inclusion will be dependent on the definitive histopathological diagnosis of the tumor. The main question is: Can the researchers identify a proteomic profile in CSF from study participants with glioblastoma in association with a longer progression free survival? Participants will undergo the...
The study is being done to learn more about the long-term health and well-being of participants treated for medulloblastoma. The study is to decide which evaluations focusing on therapy-related lasting effects (or toxicities) should be considered. Medulloblastoma outcomes have improved with contemporary therapies including modern neurosurgical techniques and risk-adapted radiotherapy and chemotherapy regimens. However, survivors remain at risk for long-term health problems such as neurocognitive deficits, hearing loss, impaired cardiorespiratory fitness and physical performance, cardiac and neuroendocrine dysfunction, musculoskeletal conditions, and infertility.
To find good information about medullary thyroid cancer that is easy to understand and reliable, so researchers aim to design some new educational materials to help.
This is a single-arm, open-label, multicenter, phase II study of CVL237 tablets in the treatment of advanced solid tumors with PTEN deficiency. It is planned to enroll patients with PTEN deficiency advanced solid tumors of different tumor types (PTEN deficiency gastric cancer, prostate cancer, endometrial cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer and melanoma etc.) to evaluate the preliminary efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetic profile of CVL237 tablets in patients with PTEN deficiency advanced solid tumors of different tumor types.
