This is a single-arm open-label phase 1 dose escalation/expansion trial assessing the safety and efficacy of concurrent intrathecal azacitidine and intrathecal nivolumab in recurrent high-grade glioma.
Pemetrexed is one of the first-line chemotherapeutic agents for non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Since 2017, intrathecal pemetrexed has shown good efficacy for patients with leptomeningeal metastases from NSCLC. It has been recommended as the preferred drug for intrathecal chemotherapy by the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO) guidelines. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) play a promising role in treating non-small cell lung cancer patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. An international multi-center clinical study published in 2019 confirmed that double dose of osimertinib showed significant improvement in leptomeningeal...
Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) is a complication of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The incidence of LM in NSCLC patients is around 3-5 %, reaching 9.4 % of those with an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation. Generally, the efficacy of systemic treatment for LM is limited due to the blood-brain barrier. Osimertinib has a high central nervous system penetration rate, making it the preferred first-line treatment for EGFR-mutant NSCLC. Previous studies indicated that osimertinib had shown promising efficacy in pretreated patients harboring EGFR mutations and LM. However, intracranial disease progression eventually develops, and the prognosis of patients...
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intrathecal pemetrexed for SCLC patients with refractory brain metastases or leptomeningeal metastasis.
The purpose of this arm of the study is to find the best way to give patients this investigational product and determine if it can treat advanced melanoma by stimulating the immune system. PV-001-DV is an attenuated (weakened) strain of dengue virus developed as a potential preventative vaccine for dengue fever by the US Army as Dengue Virus-1 #45AZ5. This is the first time PV-001-DV will be given to patients with melanoma. Up to 4 dose levels of PV-001-DV will tested in this arm. PV-001-DV (at the lowest dose) will be given to a group of 3 people. As each dose level is found to be safe, it will be given to another other 3 people at the next higher dose level, for a total of up to...
The purpose of this arm of the study is to evaluate the safety of PV-001-DC (autologous monocyte-derived dendritic cells pulsed with tumor lysate) when given in combination with PV-001-DV (Dengue Virus-1 strain #45AZ5) at the dose levels that were identified in the prior 2 arms and to determine if the combination can treat advanced melanoma. Patients will have a prescribed amount of PV-001-DV injected into one of their melanoma tumors. Patients will go to the clinic and have a needle placed in a vein. The PV-001-DC product will be infused into the patient's vein. Approximately every 3 weeks, for a total of 4 treatments, patients will receive additional infusions of PV-001-DC...
This device phase I/II, first in human, early feasibility study (EFS), open-label, single-arm trial aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of Gold Nanorod (GNR)-enabled sub-ablative targeted hyperthermia therapy (THT) in patients with unresectable stage 3C/3D/4M1 cutaneous metastatic malignant melanoma that have failed to respond to systemic checkpoint and localized intra-tumoral immunotherapy. The study will involve up to 10 participants with stable or progressive cutaneous and/or subcutaneous skin lesions (Immune Stable Disease (iSD) or Immune Confirmed/Unconfirmed Progressive Disease (iCPD/iUPD)). GNRs, when administered via intra-tumoral...
This phase I/II device clinical trial investigates the safety and efficacy of GNR-mediated THT in patients with stage 3C/3D/4M1 cutaneous metastatic melanoma unresponsive to systemic checkpoint immunotherapy or in patients who have contraindications to systemic immunotherapy. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety of THT treatment, with secondary objectives focused on tumor response to treatment. Patients will receive intra-tumoral GNR injections, followed by NIR light therapy to induce mild hyperthermia, with intra-tumoral temperatures monitored to achieve a target range of 42°C to 48°C. The trial aims to establish a safe, effective dose of GNRs for...
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.
