This is an an interventional study to explore the mechanism of cerebrospinal fluid immune microenvironment in patients with advanced anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive non-small cell lung cancer with brain metastases treated with Iruplinalib.
The primary goal of this study is to establish the safety of chronic Convection Enhanced Delivery (CED) of the chemotherapeutic drug Topotecan for patients with recurrent malignant glioma that harbors the Isocitrate Dehydrogenase mutation (IDH-mut). The secondary goal of the study is to study drug distribution and assess the tumor response to prolonged continuous CED of Topotecan. Convection Enhanced Delivery is a novel method of drug delivery that allows administration of a drug directly to the brain. In CED, a drug pump is placed under the skin in the chest or abdominal region. The pump is connected to a catheter that is tunneled underneath the skin to the brain. The tip of...
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate adaptive therapy in late-stage cutaneous melanoma. The main question it aims to answer are: If the patient having breaks in their treatment allows the less resistant cells to continue to grow, this would result in a tumour with a lower proportion of resistant cells, making the tumour less resistant to the treatment, an increasing the time it takes for the disease to progress? Participants will - Receive their allocated treatment regimen until their cancer progresses, they or their doctor withdraw them from the study, or until the study ends, whichever happens first. - Attend fortnightly visits to...
Temozolomide provided significant and clinically meaningful benefit in MGMT gene promoter methylation glioblastoma. However, in unmethylated patients, the effect of Temozolomide is limited. The aim of this study is to compare the effect of Cisplatin plus Temozolomide and Temozolomide in patients with MGMT gene promoter unmethylation glioblastoma
A prospective imaging and translational tissue study in CNS lymphoma to enable further disease characterisation and the development of potential predictive and prognostic biomarkers.
Rheumatologic adverse events are expected to affect between 3% and 7.5% of patients undergoing immunotherapy and are likely to be underdiagnosed. The main aim of this observational prospective study is to investigate the clinical and ultrasonographic incidence of rheumathologic immune related adverse events in a cohort of patients affected by stage IIB, IIC, III and IV melanoma undergoing treatment with immune-checkpoint inhibitors. Patients will: - receive immune-checkpoint inhibitor therapy, according to disease stage and current National Guidelines. - undergo dermatologic visit prior to the start of immune-checkpoint inhibitor therapy and at scheduled...
The goal of this observational study is to show the feasibility of an MRI-only workflow in brain radiotherapy. The main question it aims to answer is: - Is an MRI-only workflow based on deep learning sCTs feasible in clinical routine? Participants will be treated as in clinical routine, but treatment planning will be based on sCTs, that are generated from MRI images. The dosimetrical equivalence to the standard CT based workflow will be tested at several points in the study.
Safety and efficacy of Cardonilmab as a second-line or above treatment in patients with advanced malignant melanoma and renal cell carcinoma. To investigate the safety and efficacy of cardunnilizumab in the treatment of advanced mucosal, acral and cutaneous malignant melanoma and advanced renal cell carcinoma. Primary end point: objective response rate (ORR) Secondary end point: progression-free survival (PFS), disease control rate (DCR), overall survival (OS), incidence of treatment-related adverse events Exploratory study end point: efficacy related marker exploration, gut microbiota or metabolomics changes
Pituitary adenomas, namely pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs), are recognized as rare neoplasia by national and international institutions. Albeit most PitNETs are slow-growing with an indolent behavior, about one-third do not achieve biochemical control, recur, re-grow, and resist conventional treatments. The predictors of aggressive behavior have not been identified for PitNETs. In 2013 Trouillas and coworkers developed a five tiered clinicopathological score by mixing histopathological data and clinico-radiological evidence of invasion. This system proved of prognostic value. Nonetheless, unlike for NET of gut and lung, no formal grading and/or staging tools were...
Primary brain malignant tumor has become the first lethal tumor in children and young adults, and the treatment is limited, and the prognosis of patients is poor. According to the classification of the World Health Organization, glioblastoma is divided into grade II, III and IV gliomas; The higher the degree of malignancy, the worse the clinical outcome. Among them, the most malignant, most lethal, and most common types of tumors include supratentorial glioblastoma, diffuse endopontine glioma (DIPG), medulloblastoma, and ependymoma. Its high malignancy is mainly manifested in three aspects: extremely rapid growth and obvious invasion; The operation is not easy to remove all; The...
