The purpose of the study is to determine the appropriate pediatric dosage and evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of Lutetium Lu 177 Edotreotide Targeted Radiopharmaceutical Therapy (RPT) as a monotherapy or following standard of care (SoC) in participants ≥2 to <18 years of age with somatostatin receptor (SSTR)-positive tumors.
GBM patients receiving PDT treatment (50 cases，surgery combined with photodynamic therapy) and traditional treatment (50 cases，traditional surgery) in our hospital and partner hospitals were collected. The prognosis was analyzed by comparing with the control group from multiple perspectives such as image evaluation, imaging effect, Karnofsky score, median survival time and survival rate.
This phase III trial compares pH weighted chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based surgical resections to standard of care surgical resections for the treatment of patients with glioblastoma. Standard of care therapy for glioblastoma is surgery to remove tumor tissue that enhances on standard MRI imaging, however, it has been shown that significant tumor burden exists in the region around the tumor tissue that does not enhance with standard MRI. MRI is a procedure in which radio waves and a powerful magnet linked to a computer are used to create detailed pictures of areas inside the body. These pictures can show the difference between...
Pilot study to determine feasibility of adding intrathecal chemotherapy and maintenance therapy after high dose chemotherapy for treatment of newly diagnosed HR-EBTs in patients less than 6 years of age.
Historically, clinical study participation has been biased toward certain demographics. However, there is a shortage of studies that delve into the underlying factors that influence patient participation, both positively and negatively. Several people will be invited to enroll in this study so that it may collect a variety of data about glioblastoma clinical trial experiences and identify barriers to participation as well as the causes of participants' failure or withdrawal. The data collected from this study will be analyzed and used to improve the experiences of future glioblastoma patients who are recruited for medical trials.
This Phase 2/3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial will evaluate the Objective Response Rate (ORR) of IFx-Hu2.0 as an adjunctive therapy to pembrolizumab in adult participants (≥18 years) with advanced or metastatic Merkel Cell Carcinoma. A total of 118 participants will be randomized to receive either IFx-Hu2.0 or placebo via intralesional injection in a single lesion, followed by pembrolizumab.
Plasticizers are chemicals commonly found in many everyday items, from food packaging to medical equipment. Although they are pervasive in our daily lives, researchers still don't have a clear picture of their long-term effects on human health. Evidence suggests that these substances might disrupt various biological functions such as the immune system, the balance of gut bacteria, hormone regulation, and brain processes. While some studies have linked plasticizer exposure to health issues, definitive data from human studies are still lacking. The PEACH study aims to bridge these knowledge gaps by investigating how plasticizers affect human health. The study focuses on...
The advent of immune ICI has remarkably improved survival in advanced melanoma patients in the last decade. Long term responders following 2 years of treatment with immunotherapy go on to surveillance with frequent radiological imaging every 3-6 months up to 5-10 years. This not only exposes patients with a relatively low risk of recurrence to significant amounts of ionising radiation, but also increases the burden and cost on already stretched radiology departments. Therefore, this study aims to assess the feasibility and patient experience of using ctDNA with minimally invasive liquid biopsy assays as a biomarker for detecting disease relapse or progression at the point...
PreOperative PreRAdIotherapy Tumour Treating Fields (PORTRAIT) is a Phase I study that will test the safety and feasibility of Optune administered preoperatively and preradiotherapy in patients with a new radiological diagnosis of glioblastoma (GBM). Participants will be required to undergo additional MRI sequencing scans and provide blood, tear fluid and tissue samples over a maximum of 6 months. After the study patients will follow their standard treatment pathway.
INTRODUCTION AND RATIONALE Aggressive brain tumors like glioma have the ability to infiltrate the surrounding healthy brain tissue, disrupting normal neuronal activities and leading to impaired motor and cognitive functions, as well as causing epilepsy. This malignant brain tumor is considered one of the most challenging cancers to treat, with a median survival of 12 to 15 months. Recent findings on direct neuron-tumor interactions indicate that abnormal brain activity in the regions surrounding brain tumors may contribute to develop epilepsy and accelerating tumor growth. Tumors tend to 'fuel' themselves with neurotransmitters released during its 'daily' neuronal firing....
