Neurosurgery is a risk factor for delirium. Dexmedetomidine might reduce delirium by reducing neuroinflammation, improving postoperative analgesia and sleep quality. The the primary hypothesis is that perioperative administration of dexmedetomidine can reduce the incidence of postoperative delirium
Supratentorial craniotomy is one of the most common neurosurgical procedures, with severe perioperative pain. Inadequate perioperative pain relief has been associated with increased blood pressure and intracranial pressure, favoring bleeding and cerebral cerebral hypoperfusion. The ideal analgesia for neurosurgery requires complete pain relief, eliminates the side effects of opioid drugs and no influence for neurological function. Previous studies have proposed a multimodal analgesic strategy, combining analgesics and local anaesthesia, it is expected to achieve the above benefits.
Tumor in situ fluid (TISF) refers to the fluid within the surgical cavity of patients with glioblastoma. Postoperative serial TISF is collected for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis and identifying ctDNA-level relapse driven by one or a set of specific genomic alterations before overt imaging recurrence of the tumor. This single-arm open-label prospective pilot feasibility trial recruiting 20 adult patients with ctDNA-level-relapse glioblastoma who are assigned to receive the personalized study treatment based on the genetic profile of their serial TISF ctDNA. It will be aimed to test whether the personalized intervention can...
This phase I trial studies the impact of taking drugs (agents) that target altered brain metabolism following standard of care brain radiotherapy. Radiotherapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. However, radiotherapy can also cause harmful effects to normal brain functioning. One drug, called anhydrous enol-oxaloacetate (AEO), has previously been studied in ischemic stroke, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and glioma. Drugs such as AEO may help preserve or restore healthy brain function after brain radiotherapy compared to the standard practice which consists of...
About 75% of CNS malignant tumors are classified as gliomas and the IDH-wildtype glioblastoma (GBM) represents the most aggressive form among CNS malignancies. This is a nationwide single-center phase II drug clinical trial with an approximate duration of 32 months. The clinical trial will be single-arm to evaluate the biological activity and effects of metformin in combination with TMZ in patients with GBM.
This is a non-randomized, single arm, single center, phase I/II study of AloCelyvir in subjects with mUM to the liver, the main site for M1 in this disease. This study is divided into 3 phases: Screening, Treatment, and Follow-up. After informed consent is obtained, subjects will enter in the Screening phase to assess eligibility criteria and perform a mandatory tumor biopsy. Upon meeting criteria, eligible subjects will be entered into the Treatment phase. Patients will receive AloCelyvir in weekly intravenous infusions at doses of 0.5x106 cells/kg for 8 weeks. After 4 first treatment doses a new tumor biopsy will be mandatory....
his was a single-center, single-arm phase II study evaluate the efficacy and safety of Lutetium[177Lu] Oxodotreotide Injection in the first-line treatment of unresectable or metastatic, progressive, G2 or G3, somatostatin receptor positive gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours.
The purpose of the study is to determine the appropriate pediatric dosage and evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of Lutetium Lu 177 Edotreotide Targeted Radiopharmaceutical Therapy (RPT) as a monotherapy or following standard of care (SoC) in participants ≥2 to <18 years of age with somatostatin receptor (SSTR)-positive tumors.
This trial is an open-label, multicenter, phase III clinical study，conducted in patients with newly diagnosed or recurrent malignant high-grade (WHO grades 3~4) glioma, to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a single oral dose of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) oral solution powder for fluorescence-guided tumor resection and photodynamic diagnosis.
Standard of care therapy and all FDA approved adjuvant therapy for glioblastoma continue to provide < 12-month progression free survival (PFS) and < 24-month overall survival (OS). Standard of care therapy continues to be defined by the volume of tumor that enhances with gadolinium on standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The investigators have identified a significant tumor burden in non-enhancing (NE) regions beyond the contrast-enhancing (CE) portion of tumor. Furthermore, the investigators have adapted a pH-sensitive technique called amine chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI to identify tumor cells in NE regions ...
