The background to this research is that frequent medical screening of the general population for melanoma is not feasible. The real challenge of this project is to develop an automatic process for detecting any potential melanoma. To this end, the project aims to design an algorithm to build a novel diagnostic aid that makes use of the similarity and disparity of pigmented lesions in the same patient. To achieve this, we need to obtain and structure a large database of images grouping all pigmented lesions per patient according to their similarities as perceived by dermatologists.
Phaeochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) are tumours of the adrenal medulla and extra-adrenal sympathetic nervous system, some which can become metastatic. It is a very rare disease and the tumours are often detected late. Approximately 50 % of the tumours are caused by germline genetic variants screening programmes are recommended for patients and their family members; however, they are not yet well-targeted with respect to individual prognosis. In this study the investigatorscaim to characterize the genotype-phenotype associations in all Danish patients (n=400) diagnosed with PPGLs who have been followed in tertiary centres using medical records and national registries....
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the investigational drug AMXT 1501 (a pill taken by mouth) in combination with the drug difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) for infusion administered intravenously (IV; a liquid that continuously goes into your body through a tube that has been placed during a surgery into one of your veins). An investigational drug is one that has not been approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), or any other regulatory authorities around the world for use alone or in combination with any drug, for the condition or illness it is being used to treat. The goals of this part of the study are: - Establish a recommended dose of AMXT 1501 in...
The goal of this study is to propose the first direct comparison of Ga-68-DOTATATE PET/CT or PET/MR and Ga-68-DOTATOC PET/CT in patients with meningioma.
Glioblastoma multiform (GBM) is the most common malignant primary brain tumor in adults. Despite maximal treatment tumor relapse occurs regularly accompanied by unfavourable prognosis. Among other reasons, it is believed that this could be in part due to the existence of the so-called tumor stem cells (TSCs), a cellular subfraction within GBM which escape therapy by being highly resistant to irradiation and chemotherapy and thus constituting the source of tumor recurrence. GBM, like many other cancers, show a sub-population of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) overexpressing TSCs. More specifically, ALDH1A1, a cytoplasmatic isoform of ALDH, proved to be a novel stem cell marker in...
Perioperative pain management for craniotomy patients may be challenging because the commonly used agents such as opioids, gabapentin, and dexmedetomidine also cause sedation, which can confound the neurological exam and can lead to respiratory depression and increased intracranial pressure. Preoperative intravenous magnesium boluses and infusions have previously been established as an effective, nonsedating analgesic that can reduce opioid consumption 25-30% up to 48 hours postoperatively. However, intravenous magnesium has not seen widespread use in craniotomy patients due to concerns for interference with the neurological monitoring that commonly occurs in these cases....
68Ga-DOTATATE-based radionuclides are a novel modality in the diagnosis and treatment of central nervous system meningioma. DOTATATE is a ligand for the SSTR (somatostatin receptor), which is expressed in meningioma but not in normal brain or bone. It is also more effective than MRI in delineating tumor, which is the current imaging standard for assessing meningioma. For radiation planning, it can help to reduce the risk of geometrical miss, identify area that require dose-escalation, and reduce dose to normal tissue. The purpose of the study is to compare the radiation therapy (RT) contouring and planning for meningioma with and without the use of 68Ga-DOTATATE-PET
This clinical trial is an adaptive study of a novel vimentin inhibitor in cancers. It is an open label, multicentre, single ascending dose level in phase I and cohort exploration in phase II. Primary objective is to evaluate safety and tolerability of kesonotide as a monotherapy in participants with advanced/metastatic solid cancers. Secondary objective is to characterise the pharmacokinetics of kesonotide. Phase I study will enrol 20-32 participants and Phase II approximately 80 participants.
Exploratory study to evaluate the effect and safety of the use of Ocoxin® oral solution on the quality of life of paediatric patients with advanced stage solid tumours.
The goal of this single-arm clinical trial is to learn about the effectiveness and safety of the X A-DERM™ mADM in promoting wound healing and improving scar formation after MMS surgery for removing BCC, SCC, or MIS lesions on the face, head, and upper limbs. The main questions it aims to answer are how well this intervention works and what is the safety profile. The primary hypothesis is that the use of X A-DERM™ will result improved wound healing and scar formation after 60 days post-procedure. Participants will undergo MMS surgery to remove BCC, SCC, or MIS lesions, and then will receive the X A-DERM™ mADM graft at the surgical site. Participants will return to the office...
