Ultrasonography(USG)-guided optic nerve sheath diameter measurement and its correlation with brain computed tomography in the evaluation of intracranial pressure in patients who underwent intracranial brain tumor surgery.
Taking part in clinical trials usually favors a particular demographic group. But there is limited research available to explain what trial attributes affect the completion of these specific demographic groups. This research will admit a wide range of data on the clinical study experience of neuroendocrine tumor patients to determine which factors prevail in limiting a patient's ability to join or finish a trial. It will also try to analyze data from the perspective of different demographic groups to check for recurring trends which might yield insights for the sake of future patients with neuroendocrine tumor.
The objective of this study is to evaluate to what extent the capacity of the NODDI model can allow, in case of Malignant brain tumor patients with vasogenic edema, the elaboration of a reliable cerebral functional mapping in accordance with the data of direct electrical stimulation (DES) which is today the reference tool. the patient's participation in this study implies an additional visit during which an MRI examination without injection of contrast medium will be performed, lasting approximately 40 minutes (including installation and de-installation).
This study is being done to find the best dose of an investigational drug called NBM-BMX for people with metastatic uveal melanoma, a type of eye cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. The study will help doctors learn about the side effects of NBM-BMX, how the drug is processed in the body, and whether it may slow down or shrink tumors. Participants will take NBM-BMX as a capsule by mouth twice daily on an empty stomach with at least six ounces (180 mL) of water. No food or drink (other than water) should be consumed for at least two hours after each dose. Participants will visit the clinic about once every week or two for exams and blood tests while taking...
Study Rationale: Breast cancer survivors are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease (CVD) or neurocognitive disease than age-matched counterparts without a history of cancer diagnosis. Some anti-cancer treatments cause damage to the cells of heart and the walls of blood vessels, which may exacerbate neurovascular dysfunction and cancer-related cognitive impairment (symptoms such as 'chemo-brain'), as well as accelerating the onset of neurocognitive disease. Therefore, effective policies and therapeutic strategies are needed to minimize neurovascular dysfunction and neurocognitive disease in at-risk populations like breast cancer survivors. Regular exercise training is...
This is a pilot Phase I open-label randomized single-dose two-period crossover study (in the EDDIS project) evaluating the bioequivalence, pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of inhaled afatinib dimaleate compared with the reference oral afatinib dimaleate in healthy volunteer smokers. The study will enroll healthy adult volunteers smoker to assess the systemic exposure and lung deposition of inhaled afatinib dimaleate. Participants will receive both the test inhaled formulation and the reference oral formulation in separate periods with delayed phase between treatments. Key endpoints include maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), area under the concentration-time...
Taking part in medical research usually favors a particular demographic group. But there is limited research available to explain what trial attributes affect the completion of these specific demographic groups. This study will admit a wide range of data on the clinical trial experience of Merkel cell carcinoma patients to determine which factors prevail in limiting a patient's ability to join or finish a trial. It will also try to analyze data from the perspective of different demographic groups to check for recurring trends which might yield insights for the sake of future Merkel cell carcinoma patients.
Pharmacoscopy refers to an ex vivo real-time drug sensitivity profiling platform that has been shown to be of value in the treatment of leukemia (Snijder et al. 2017) (Kornauth et al. 2022) and may help to identify novel treatment opportunities for brain tumors as well (Lee et al. 2022). The rationale for pharmacoscopy-based drug sensitivity testing on real-time patient biopsies or surgery material is multiple: measuring drug response and sensitivity directly in real-time patient material, overcomes the problem of limited molecular biomarkers for established targeted therapeutic options and can identify effective drugs even for non-targeted therapies such as chemotherapy. It can...
The main goal of ORGA-GLIO trial is to establish the feasibility in routine clinical practice of ex-vivo organoid cultures composed of tumor cells within their microenvironment (glioblastoma organoid - GBO) and intra- and peri-tumoral blood vessels (blood vessel organoid - BVO), derived from perioperative samples obtained during complete or partial surgical resection in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma.
The goal of this diagnostic randomised clinical trial is to determine, in glioblastoma patients with diagnostic uncertainty between pseudoprogression and tumor progression on follow-up MRI after chemoradiation, the added value of a direct [¹⁸F] FET-PET scan for clinical management. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does the clinical management guided by an additional FET-PET scan leads to fewer unnecessary interventions, compared with management based on MRI only? - Does the clinical management guided by an additional FET-PET scan leads to better health-related quality of life after 12 weeks, compared with management based on MRI only? - ...
