[Background] For newly-diagnosed patients with brain metastases (BMs), conventional whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) might still remain a common palliative management. However, WBRT-related late consequences, particularly a decline in neurocognitive functions (NCFs), are a major concern. Actually, WBRT-related neurocognitive dysfunction is usually characterized as deterioration involving learning and memory, in which the extremely radiosensitive hippocampus indeed plays a critical role. To postpone the occurrence and mitigate neurocognitive impairments associated with conventional WBRT, there have been some strategies in the clinical practice of radiation oncology. Among them,...
Primary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of high-dose firmonertinib combined with bevacizumab and intrathecal pemetrexed in EGFR Ex19del/L858R-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with leptomeningeal metastasis (LM), as measured by Overall Survival (OS). Secondary Objectives: 1. To assess the efficacy of this regimen in EGFR Ex20ins/PACC/L861Q-mutated NSCLC with LM. 2. To further evaluate therapeutic outcomes across cohorts, including: - Time to Treatment Failure (TTF) - Leptomeningeal Objective Response Rate (ORR-LM) - Clinical Response Rate 3. To analyze the impact of this regimen on *quality of life* using...
The investigators were to explore whether high-dose Furmonertinib, compared with osimertinib, could achieve longer survival in patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC with CNS metastasis.
This is a phase Ⅱ clinical study of Zanubrutinib(Z) in combination with methotrexate (M) and thiotepa(T) in treating newly diagnosed primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL). The purpose of the study is to test the efficacy and tolerability of a combination treatment of MTZ regimen in treating patients who have newly diagnosed PCNSL
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of home-based Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) combined with a home activity based therapy program in patients with stroke, brain tumors or neurodegenerative conditions and to assess the efficacy of home-based tDCS combined with a home activity-based therapy program as an intervention to treat cognitive-linguistic impairments related to stroke, brain tumors, or neurodegenerative conditions and improve quality of life.
This study investiagates deep-regional or superficial hyperthermia to enhance radiotherapy or chemoradiation in patients that suffer recurrent disease after previous radiotherapy.
The goal of this prospective observational study is to evaluate the presence of circulating tumoral cells in patients over 18 with a stage I-III resectable Merkel cell carcinoma after the initial therapeutic sequence of surgery and radiotherapy. The main question it aims to answer is : Can any residual disease be found in the form of circulating tumoral cells in blood samples of patients treated with surgery and radiotherapy for a resectable, stage I to III Merkel cell carcinoma ? When possible, the circulating tumoral cells count will be compared to the one realized in a blood sample of the same patient before surgery and radiotherapy. Participants will : - Have a...
This study aims to capture information regarding the effect of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment for melanoma on reproductive organ function and sex hormone levels. You may be eligible for this study if you are aged 18 years or older, you have been diagnosed with melanoma (Stage II, III or IV) and you are planning to receive ICI treatment. Additional criteria will apply dependent upon your biological sex characteristics. All participants who choose to enroll in this study will be asked to complete a series of questionnaires and provide blood at 4 of their scheduled treatment visits. These visits are anticipated to add 30 minutes to the scheduled visit time. Male...
The aim of the study is to evaluate the response to four schemes of treatment with novel diagnostic tools - Immuno-PET and proteomics as well as standard imaging (magnetic resonsonce imaging and computed tomography). Two fractionation schedules of radiotherapy will be used. The first will be a common standard of palliative irradiation - 20 Gy delivered in five fractions of 4 Gy (SHORT). The other is called Spatially Fractionated Radiotherapy (SFRT). SFRT is delivered in one fraction of 20 Gy but the dose is diversified inside the tumor to produce areas of high and low doses distributed alternately. This kind of irradiation may be able to stimulate immune response and improve the...
This Phase 1, open-label, non-randomized study will enroll pediatric and young adult subjects with relapsed or refractory non-central nervous system (CNS) malignant solid tumors expressing glypican-3 (GPC3) to examine the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of administering T cell products derived from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) that have been genetically modified to co-express a GPC3-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), interleukin (IL)-15 and IL-21 as well as the inducible caspase 9 (iC9) suicide gene (SC-CAR.GPC3xIL15.21 T cells). A child or young adult meeting all eligibility criteria and meeting none of the exclusion criteria will have a blood sample...
