The primary hypothesis being tested in this trial is that ischemic stroke patients with active cancer will have improved clinical outcomes when given intravenous thrombolysis compared to standard care.
Clinical trials, specifically focused on stage IV melanoma, are crucial in assessing the safety and efficacy of new treatments for this disease. These trials serve as fundamental instruments in determining whether emerging medications outperform standard therapies, providing compelling evidence to support wider implementation. The main goal is to thoroughly scrutinize trial completion rates and voluntary withdrawals among this particular group of patients.
In Sweden, approximately 9,000 Swedes are affected by melanoma annually, and each year, 500 individuals die from metastatic melanoma. The prognosis for melanoma primarily depends on the thickness of the tumor at diagnosis. Melanomas that only grow in the epidermis and have not yet grown into the dermis are called melanoma in situ or pre-melanoma. These melanomas lack the potential to spread in the body. Melanomas that grow into the dermis, on the other hand, are called invasive or malignant melanomas. Invasive melanomas have the potential to spread in the body. To improve melanoma diagnostics, a dermatoscope is used. A dermatoscope is a type of magnifying glass equipped with a...
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).
