Tumors of the Central Nervous System (CNS) represent the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in children. Current treatment options are not curative for most malignant histologies, and intense preclinical and clinical research are necessary to develop more effective therapeutic interventions against these tumors, most of which meet the FDA definition for orphan diseases. The majority of malignant CNS tumors in children and adolescents belong to two broad histologic tumor entities: those of glial origin, such as high-grade glioma (HGG)and ependymoma (EPN), and those of neuronal origin, also identified as embryonal tumors, that include medulloblastoma and AT/RT(1). Over the...
This study is a real-world clinical study. It is expected to include 20 patients with first-line and second-line gastrointestinal pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma who will be treated with irinotecan liposomes combined with cisplatin or carboplatin regimen. The research unit is the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University. The study includes a screening period (within 28 days), a treatment period (planned for 6 cycles), and a follow-up period (safety follow-up and PFS follow-up). The subjects signed an informed consent form and underwent baseline examination during the screening period. Patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria entered the treatment...
This is a prospective, open-label, multicentric study designed to correlate the dose delivered to the hippocampus with declarative memory deficits 2 years after radiotherapy treatment in a paediatric population who had received brain irradiation between the ages of 4 and 12 for a brain tumour. In order to meet this objective, several neuropsychological assessments consisting of parental questionnaires and cognitive tests will be carried out during the course of the study, at the following two stages: - A 1st assessment at patient inclusion, i.e. 2 years after the end of radiotherapy treatment, - And a second assessment 2 years after patient inclusion, i.e. 4...
Research objective Main purpose Exploring the real-world effectiveness of Ivonescimab combined with chemotherapy for EGFR mutant NSCLC with leptomeningeal metastasis after EGFR-TKIs resistance. Outcome measure: Real world intracranial disease-free survival time (iPFS). Secondary purpose Federation patterns: describing different treatment modes in the real world; Outcome measures: Combination chemotherapy regimen and duration of chemotherapy. Efficacy: Further explore the effectiveness of Ivonescimab combined with chemotherapy for EGFR mutant NSCLC with leptomeningeal metastasis failed with EGFR-TKI treatment; Outcome measures: Objective response rate (LM-ORR), duration of...
This study was designed to evaluate the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of JK-1201I in triple negative breast cancer patients with brain metastases.
This is a phase 1 study evaluating the safety and feasibility of laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) followed by lomustine (CCNU) for recurrent glioblastoma in adults. The primary aim is to evaluate the safety of the combination of LITT plus lomustine based on the assessment of treatment-related adverse events and the feasibility of completing LITT + lomustine in the proposed timeframe. The secondary aim is to assess overall survival for up to 2 years after the first dose of lomustine.
standard paradigm for management of patients who present with concern for recurrence of brain metastases following initial stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).
Recent improvements in advanced melanoma treatment with immunotherapy have dramatically improved patient survival. Longer survival however has come at a cost of toxicity. Short term side effects can occur in >50% of patients undergoing immunotherapy treatment; however, many long-term survivors are also living with serious consequences of these treatments which may be under reported in literature. Data regarding long term toxicities, from these treatments is lacking and an area of important unmet clinical need. Therefore, in collaboration with the Clatterbridge and Christie's teams, the investigators propose to retrospectively analyse the nature, incidence, frequency, and...
This study aims to evaluate feasibility of a double-blind randomized controlled trial for levetiracetam prophylaxis for prevention of seizure in the perioperative phase of brain tumor resection.
The purpose of this study is to create a prospective investigation to examine the effects of montelukast, almonds/almond oil, and specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) on lipid profiles and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in cancer patients (colorectal cancer, sarcoma, brain tumors, endometrial cancer, and ovarian cancer). The focus will be on assessing changes in lipid mediator concentrations, TAM reprogramming, and immune cell function in treated versus untreated patients. It is hypothesized that montelukast will reduce the pro-inflammatory effects of leukotriene B4 (LTB4), while SPMs and almonds/almond oil will shift the balance toward pro-resolving mediators,...
