This is a treatment clinical trial to assess the efficacy of ERC1671 in combination with bevacizumab and pembrolizumab in patients with GBM that has progressed following treatment with radiation and temozolomide. Patients will have surgery to collect the maximum amount of GBM tissue that can be reasonably collected. This tissue will be used to manufacturer ERC1671 for the patient. The patients will receive ERC1671 in combination with GM-CSF and cyclophosphamide, in combination with bevacizumab and pembrolizumab.
A study is being performed to observe whether a novel type of brain imaging using a technique called PET-MRI may provide useful information in the 'mapping' of adult primary brain tumours. It employs a radiolabelled molecule targeting a particular molecule called PSMA which is hypothesised to be a marker of aggression in primary brain tumours. 'Mapping' of the concentration and distribution of this molecule within brain tumours via PET-MRI may provide vital clinical information regarding the extent and timing of treatment.
The purpose of this study:(1) Development of a new risk classification model for childhood medulloblastoma. (2) Evaluation and improvement of existing individualized treatment protocols.
Compare the data obtained from the Raman analyzer and paraffin pathology examination on the same external brain tissue sample. Evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the Raman analyzer for intraoperative diagnosis gliomas of brain resection tissue samples, using paraffin pathological examination results as clinical reference standards.
A Prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PD-L1 monoclonal antibody combined with vinorelbine + cyclophosphamide + capecitabine (VEX) metronomic chemotherapy and concurrent or delayed radiotherapy in patients with advanced HER2-negative breast cancer with brain metastasis
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of PROSOMNIA Sleep Therapy (PSTx) for individuals suffering from chronic insomnia, sleep deprivation, and REM sleep disorders. Chronic insomnia, characterized by difficulty falling or staying asleep, significantly affects patients and quality of life, mood, and cognitive function. REM sleep disorders, in which the body struggles to enter or maintain restful REM sleep, can worsen these issues. The trial introduces a novel therapy using anesthesia-induced sleep, targeting sleep homeostasis and improving sleep architecture. Objectives: The primary goals of the trial are to determine: 1. Whether PROSOMNIA Sleep Therapy...
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical usefulness of dynamic [18F]FDG PET imaging in assessing brain metastasis post stereotactic radiotherapy to separate true progression from the treatment-related changes.
Gliomas are the most common type of primary brain tumors, with the main treatment modalities including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. However, gliomas are highly prone to recurrence, posing significant treatment challenges, especially for high-grade gliomas, which have a 5-year survival rate of only 5.5%. Paclitaxel (PTX) is a common chemotherapeutic agent, and its in vitro antitumor efficacy is 1400 times stronger than that of temozolomide (the first-line chemotherapy drug for gliomas). However, due to its large molecular weight (approximately 893 Da), it cannot cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), preventing its use as a first-line treatment for gliomas. Preliminary...
When controlling for tumor present in the Sentinel lymph node (SLN), intranodal hypoxia, as measured by Carbonic Anhydrase IX (CAIX IHC), is associated with worse PFS. This suggests that melanoma tumors may be utilizing deregulated metabolism as a means of propagating themselves to the next station of metastasis. This study aims to prospectively validate previous findings. Patients who are to undergo WLE and SLNB per standard of care (SOC) will be evaluable. It is hypothesized that SLN(s) with increased hypoxia, as measured by pimonidazole staining, will be associated with worse Progression-free Survival (PFS).
Glioblastoma is a brain tumor with a very poor prognosis, affecting around 2,400 new patients every year. Current treatments do not provide good control of the disease. In view of the therapeutic impasse, it is necessary to develop new strategies. CAR-T cells (Chimeric antigen receptor T cells) represent a highly promising therapy for the treatment of incurable cancers, including glioblastoma. This treatment aims to destroy cancer cells by relying on the patient's own immune system. CAR-T cells are generated from the patient's own immune cells, more specifically T lymphocytes, which are genetically modified to express a tumor-specific receptor on their surface. CAR-T cells bind to...
