The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sintilimab in combination with Bevacizumab and Temozolomide in subjects with recurrent glioblastoma.
This is an ongoing Phase 2, open-label, single-center, non-randomized study of sintilimab (one anti-PD-1 antibody same as nivolumab approved in China) plus bevacizumab administered in a low dosage schedule in adult (≥ 18 years) participants with a clinical relapse or circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)-level relapse of Astrocytoma. This study has three non-comparative study groups. Cohort 1 and Cohort 2 will receive the same study drug sintilimab 200mg and bevacizumab 3mg/kg every 3 weeks. Cohort 3 will take only standard treatment. A stringent three-step non-randomized process will be used to assign participants to one of the study...
This is an ongoing Phase 2, open-label, single-center, non-randomized study of sintilimab (one anti-PD-1 antibody same as nivolumab approved in China) plus bevacizumab administered in a low dosage schedule in adult (≥ 18 years) participants with a clinical relapse or circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)-level relapse of glioblastoma (GBM). This study has two non-comparative study groups. Both cohorts will receive the same study drug sintilimab 200mg and bevacizumab 3mg/kg every 3 weeks. A stringent two-step non-randomized process will be used to assign participants to one of the study groups. Neither participants nor doctors but the...
Patients with gliomas often suffer from lower quality of life, and detrimental social interactions after diagnosis. Two cognitive processes are crucial for maintaining healthy social relationships and interacting with others: social cognition and language. Social cognition is the ability to recognize and process mental and emotional states and to react appropriately in social situations. Social cognition and language are separate cognitive functions that can be affected in different ways in patients with brain injury. Also, distinct cognitive measurement instruments are used to assess both processes. However, there appears to be a...
The goal of this prospective, non-randomized, single-arm study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of sonodynamic therapy with 5-aminolevulinic acid in patients with newly diagnosed cerebral glioblastomas using the ExAblate Model 4000 Type-2 "Neuro-System". Patients will be consented, screened, and will undergo study SDT treatment with 5-ALA using the ExAblate Model 4000 Type-2 "Neuro-System". After SDT treatment, patients will perform a strict neuro-radiological follow-up (minimum of 2 MRI) and undergo tumor resection 15-21 days after SDT, according to the clinical and radiological status. The main goal of the present...
The research aims to prospectively include patients with GEP-NENs, undergo preoperative imaging assessment (including PET/CT and contrast-enhanced CT), and accurately delineate lymph node regions. Through postoperative pathological reports, the diagnostic performance of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in GEP-NENs is evaluated. Factors influencing the diagnostic accuracy of SSTR-PET/CT and contrast-enhanced CT are also investigated.
The study aims at: 1. Perform a multilayer analysis relying on tight integration of in-depth multi-omics approaches with clinical data to discover immune markers, with attention to age and sex differences, predicting prognosis and defining key life/environmental elements, to guide AI-driven personalised treatments and ensure improved care and QoL of glioblastoma patients. 2. To deepen glioblastoma knowledge through the study of glioblastoma stem cell cultures and to assess the sensitivity of glioblastoma stem cell cultures to a number of chemotherapeutics in different experimental...
This study aims to assess multimodal Radiomics-based prediction model for prognostic prediction in spinal tumors.
This study is designed to compare the language function after traditional or a new surgical plan during awake craniotomy for glioma resection.
This is a pilot study to test the feasibility of implementing a strict classic ketogenic diet among a population of children with recurrent or progressive and refractory brain tumors. Eligible participants will be admitted to the neurosciences floor for 5 days to begin the ketogenic diet either orally, by gastrostomy tube or via nasogastric tube. During the inpatient stay, they will be extensively educated on the diet restrictions and rules. Participants will then continue on the diet at home returning about 17 times over the next 12 months. Daily logs will be kept tracking diet changes, bowel movements and urine ketones. Blood will...
