Currently, there is no widely used adjuvant treatment available to improve survival after surgical excision of a primary melanoma. In a previous study, loco-regional and systemic immune stimulations, as well as favourable clinical outcomes in terms of sentinel lymph node (SLN) tumor status and recurrence-free survival (RFS) in patients with clinical stage I-II melanoma who received a low dose of toll-like receptor 9 (TLR-9) CPG7909 (CpG-B ODN) intradermally at the excision site of the primary tumor prior to SLN biopsy (SNB) were described. In this phase II trial the investigators had investigated the clinical activity of a next-generation CpG-ODN, IMO-2125, and it's ability to...
The purpose of this study is to measure the clinical benefits of the combination of RP2 and nivolumab as compared with the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma who have not been treated with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy.
Because of their prolonged survival, patients with 1p/19q-codeleted low-grade oligodendrogliomas treated with RT + PCV are at risk of neurocognitive deterioration. We make the hypothesis that withholding radiotherapy until tumor progression could reduce the risk of neurocognitive deterioration without impairing overall survival.
It is not known whether radiological assessments during follow up after surgery for high risk melanoma improve survival. Since radiological examinations are resource demanding, could inflict worry and cause irradiation exposure it is an important question to address. With the introduction of effective medical treatments for malignant melanoma patients, there is a tendency to introduce radiological assessments despite the lack of evidence.
This is a retrospective and prospective study planned to include NSCLC patients with Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) and treated with antitumor therapy after 2018, from multiple centers such as the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, Guangdong Sanjiu Brain Hospital, etc., aiming to establish a database related to the treatment strategies of LM patients, and to evaluate the efficacy (eg. Overall Survival/Time to Failure) and safety of different treatment strategies of LM patients, etc., as well as the significance of concomitant testing in LM patients.
Spinal cord gliomas are the most common type of primary intramedullary malignant tumors, with a low incidence and a peak onset age of approximately 35 years. They are slightly more prevalent in males than females. Clinical manifestations vary depending on tumor characteristics and location, typically presenting with axial pain and displaying a tendency for unilateral, infiltrative growth. Prognosis is generally poor, and effective treatment options are limited aside from surgical resection. Common surgical approaches for intramedullary tumor removal include the posterior median sulcus approach, the dorsolateral sulcus approach, and surface entry techniques. Preliminary clinical...
The purpose of this observational research study is to follow participants who have been treated with either bel-sar or received alternate treatment (sham, standard of care therapy, etc.) while participating in a previous Aura Biosciences clinical research study to assess the long-term safety and effectiveness in these subjects. This study will collect information from procedures conducted as part of routine follow-up eye care and cancer care. Additionally, the registry will collect all adverse events, information about pregnancy and symptomatic overdose.
This early phase I trial evaluates different administration techniques (oral or intravenous) for arginine and tests the safety of giving arginine with whole brain radiation therapy in patients who have cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to the brain (brain metastases). Arginine is an essential amino acid. Amino acids are the molecules that join together to form proteins in the body. Arginine supplementation has been shown to improve how brain metastases respond to radiation therapy. The optimal dosing of arginine for this purpose has not been determined. This study measures the level of arginine in the blood with oral and intravenous dosing...
ARISTOCRAT is a phase II, multi-centre, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised trial to compare the cannabinoid Nabiximols with placebo in patients with recurrent MGMT methylated glioblastoma (GBM) treated with temozolomide (TMZ).
Objective:Patients with asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic Stage IV EGFR-positive NSCLC with baseline intracranial metastases. Aim: To investigate the timing, efficacy and safety of radiotherapy in patients with EGFR positive brain metastases treated with armatinib alone or combined with stereotactic radiotherapy. Method: Almonertinib: specification 55mg/tablet; The dosage is 110 mg / day (2 tablets / day) orally once a day; SBRT: 3-5 doses of 27-40 Gy
