The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if allogeneic CAR-T cells can treat patients with advanced gliomas. The main questions it aims to answer are: Evaluate the safety of allogeneic CAR-T cells in the treatment of advanced gliomas. To evaluate the effectiveness of allogeneic CAR-T cells in the treatment of advanced gliomas and to study its immunological properties in patients.
This study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of the combination therapy of utidelone and capecitabine in the treatment of brain metastases from triple-negative advanced breast cancer, and to search for systemic treatment for brain metastases from triple-negative advanced breast cancer cases.
The purpose of this single arm, multi-national clinical trial in patients with metastatic or unresectable melanoma is to evaluate the BOR and compare it to historical data on patients on anti-PD1 treatment with pembrolizumab alone.
Arterial spin labeling (ASL) is a non-invasive MRI technique that could help the radiologists to distinguish brain metastasis progression versus radionecrosis following gamma-knife treatment. The primary target of the study is to establish the diagnostic performances (specificity, sensitivity) of quantitative measures of ASL in brain metastases suspected of progression/radionecrosis after GK treatment
The clinical trial is intended to assess for clinical evidence of Clemastine Fumarate as a myelin repair therapy in patients with chronic inflammatory injury-causing demyelination as measured by multi-parametric MRI assessments. No reparative therapies exist for the treatment of multiple sclerosis. Clemastine fumarate was identified along with a series of other antimuscarinic medications as a potential remyelinating agent using the micropillar screen (BIMA) developed at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). Following in vivo validation, an FDA IND exemption was granted to investigate clemastine for the treatment of multiple sclerosis in the context of chronic optic...
Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular tumor in adults. The local treatment is effective, but patients still die of metastatic disease. It has been shown that early diagnosis of a few isolated metastases can result in a clean surgical excision of the metastases and an extension of the expected survival from 7-12 months to over 10 years on some patients. Many serum biomarkers are employed in Oncology. It makes sense to try the relevant ones in the diagnosis of metastatic uveal melanoma. The investigators hypothesis is that a soluble serum biomarker level changes upon development of metastatic disease either by secretion by the tumor cells themselves or by their...
Recent studies suggest that patients with metastatic melanoma whose gut microbiome is colonized by eubiotic bacteria have a stronger anti-cancer response to anti CTLA-4 and anti PD1. The hypothesis of this research is that a pooled standardized fecal microbiome transfer (FMT) will shift melanoma patients' gut microbiome towards a composition close to that associated with a better response, and will therefore increase the response to a combination of anti CTLA-4 and anti PD1, without affecting the safety of these drugs. The present trial is the first randomized trial of FMT in patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma. It will include patients who have neither been exposed...
To explore the cognitive impairment caused by chemotherapy and endocrine therapy in premenopausal breast cancer patients and to find biomarkers with early predictive effect on this cognitive impairment by using multimodal integrated PET/MRI technology combined with psychobehavioral technology.
This is a multicenter, interventional, randomized study among adult patients recently diagnosed with a rare tumor (<12 months). The study will aim to compare compliance with the personalized post-treatment surveillance plan, established for each patient according to national guidelines, when the surveillance is conducted in person by a hospital-based physician (control arm) or remotely by a trained nurse (experimental arm).
Purpose of the study: AIM 1: Prospectively collect pre-operative [functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), magnetoencephalography (MEG)] and intra-operative mapping data in patients with intra-axial brain tumors to assess how well each modality predicts the location of eloquent brain function. In addition, each modality will be compared with the other. AIM 2: Assess reorganization of eloquent brain function and plasticity in patients with intra-axial brain tumors. This will be accomplished by prospectively collecting post-operative mapping studies and neuropsychological tests to compare them to prior mapping studies as stated above.
