The primary objective is to evaluate the intracranial efficacy of pemetrexed/carboplatin chemotherapy and lazertinib combination therapy after osimertinib failure in EGFR-positive non-small cell lung cancer patients with brain metastasis. The primary endpoint is the incracranial objective response rate (iORR). Secondary endpoints are intracranial progression free survival, (iPFS), objective response rate (ORR), duration of response (DoR), disease control rate, (DCR), overall survival (OS), the pattern of treatment failure, intracranial salvage treatment rate, and toxicity. Patients should take lazertinib 240 mg (80 mg, 3 tablets) once a day at the same time as possible before...
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,...
Evaluate the safety and tolerability of treatment with autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) administered via hepatic arterial infusion and preconditioning with percutaneous hepatic perfusion in patients with liver metastases (but not restricted to) of malignant melanoma
Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is notoriously difficult to treat, with current therapies often extending life by only a few months. The standard treatment involves surgery followed by radiation and chemotherapy with Temozolomide (TMZ). The efficacy of TMZ, however, is significantly enhanced when the tumor's o6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) gene is methylated. Recent studies, such as the NOA-09 trial, have suggested that adding Lomustine (LOM) to TMZ could improve outcomes for patients with this specific tumor profile. Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that the addition of LOM to the TMZ regimen will lead to significantly improved survival rates among...
The goal of this study is to determine the response of the study drug loratinib in treating children who are newly diagnosed high-grade glioma with a fusion in ALK or ROS1. It will also evaluate the safety of lorlatinib when given with chemotherapy or after radiation therapy.
This study is an investigator-initiated, prospective, open-label, single-arm, multicenter clinical trial aimed at exploring the antitumor activity of Lorlatinib in ALK-positive NSCLC patients with brain/ leptomeningeal metastases.
The clinical investigation is a non-randomized, multicenter, open-label, prospective, exposure-time escalation clinical investigation. The clinical investigation is designed to assess the clinical safety and performance of the Oncomagnetic Device.
Magnetic resonance imaging, MRI, is a procedure that uses radio waves, a powerful magnet, and a computer to make a series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body. The goal of this study is to determine if MR fingerprinting, new way of acquiring MRI images, can help identify the extent of tumor spread in the brain, better than routine MRI images.
Regions of tumour whose cells (the building blocks of the tumour) are actively multiplying generate a particular type of molecular footprint (consisting of various types of proteins) compared to tumours whose cells are relatively stable. In addition, tumour cells begin to develop a network of blood vessels that not only supply them with nutrients and oxygen, but also provide a pathway for tumour spread. There is a critical period between when these proteins and blood vessel network develops, and when tumour growth is visible using current MRI scanning. Therefore, making the process of tumour activity visible on clinical MRI scans is an important step in demonstrating...
