Central nervous system (CNS) leukemia is a poor prognostic factor for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Thiotepa can penetrate the blood-brain barrier and has immunosuppressive effects and similar effects to irradiation in allo-HSCT. This project aims to investigate whether the TBF regimen is superior to the traditional modified BuCY2 regimen to improve the long-term survival of the CNS leukemia patients.
This Phase III, multicenter, placebo-controlled clinical trial with sequential randomization is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an experimental vaccine composed of hybrid dendritic cells (DCs) for the treatment of glioblastoma. Conducted at the Hospital das Clínicas of the University of São Paulo Medical School (HCFMUSP) and the Institute of Biomedical Sciences of the University of São Paulo (ICB/USP), the study is led by Professor José Alexandre Marzagão Barbuto. A multidisciplinary team of researchers specializing in neurosurgery, pathology, hematology, and other fields will contribute to a comprehensive approach. The trial aims to determine whether the hybrid...
The goal of this clinical trial is to test augmented reality (AR) based neuronavigation system in surgeries for patients of brain neoplasm or cerebral vascular disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: • AR based neuronavigation system can achieve accuracy that is not inferior to conventional intraoperative navigation system. Participants will participate the study after informed consent. When participants undergo surgery for their brain tumor, we will set up 2 types of neuronavigation, conventional navigation system and developed AR based neuronavigation system. Surgeon will plan and conduct surgery based on only conventional navigation system, but 3D errors at...
This study is a Phase II, single-arm, open-label, non-randomized, dose-escalation clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ssCART-19 Cell Injection in the treatment of patients with CD19 positive Relapsed or Refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia, including central nervous system infiltration.
This is a first-in-human study of CM93, an oral investigational drug, in adults with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-modified glioblastoma. The study is designed in three parts consisting of a dose-escalation phase, a dose-expansion phase and a window-of-opportunity surgical trial. The trial objectives are to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and clinical effects of CM93 in this patient population.
The aim is to improve patients' compliance to TTFields therapy by a psychological video intervention in a multi-center, randomized controlled trial.
【Background】For cranial-irradiation-naive patients with intracranial meningiomas at risk of local recurrence, the administration of conformal cranial radiotherapy can enhance tumor control in the current era of modern radiotherapeutic techniques. Life expectancy in patients with intracranial meningiomas, particularly non-malignant meningiomas (WHO grade I and II) is essentially similar to people of general population. However, RT-related neurocognitive function (NCF) sequelae are potentially and seriously a concern which should not be ignored. In terms of the natural course of cranial irradiation-induced NCF decline, it might vary considerably according to the specific domains...
Cancer is a frequent disease considering that one person out of three will be confronted with it in their lifetime. Cancer patients often express complaints related to cognitive impairment as an outcome of their oncological treatment. These cognitive disorders have a significant impact on the patient's and their carer's quality of life. Therefore, it appears necessary to have a reliable, quick and simple tool in order to detect cognitive impairment. The rationale of this study relies on 3 main points : - The cognitive complaint frequently reported by cancer patients - The difficulty in reliably demonstrating the cause of this complaint through conventional...
The purpose of this study is to pilot the use of community education and digital dermatology to increase the early detection of curable melanomas.
This phase II trial evaluates whether an investigational scan (18F-MFBG positron emission tomography [PET]/computed tomography [CT] or PET/magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) can accurately detect tumors in patients with newly diagnosed, high-risk neuroblastoma as well as standard of care imaging with 123 I-MIBG. 18F-MFBG is a radioactive diagnostic agent that is injected into a vein and taken up by tumor cells. The cells can then be visualized using PET/CT or PET/MRI scans. A PET scan uses radioactive material injected into the blood to show the internal workings of the body. A CT scan uses x-rays and a computer to produce a 3-dimensional image of the body. MRI uses radiofrequency...
