This is an ongoing Phase 2, open-label, single-center, non-randomized study of sintilimab (one anti-PD-1 antibody same as nivolumab approved in China) plus bevacizumab administered in a low dosage schedule in adult (≥ 18 years) participants with a clinical relapse or circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)-level relapse of glioblastoma (GBM). This study has two non-comparative study groups. Both cohorts will receive the same study drug sintilimab 200mg and bevacizumab 3mg/kg every 3 weeks. A stringent two-step non-randomized process will be used to assign participants to one of the study groups. Neither participants nor doctors but the researcher can choose which group participants are...
The goal of this interventional study is to test whether atorvastatin prevents accelerated progression of atherosclerosis in melanoma patients who receive immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy. The main questions it aims to answer are: - difference in percentage growth of total atherosclerotic plaque volume (+ calcified and non-calcified plaque volume) in the descending thoracic segment of the aorta - difference in percentage growth of total atherosclerotic plaque volume (+ calcified and non-calcified plaque volume) in coronary arteries. Researchers will compare patients that receive ICI-therapy and atorvastatin with patients that receive ICI-therapy +...
The goal of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of same-day radiation planning and treatment. The study will shorten the time interval between radiation planning (radiation mapping) and radiation treatment. The intent of this shorter time interval is to increase the likelihood that the brain metastases being treated remain fully within the high-dose radiation fields. Participants will be randomized to receive brain-directed stereotactic radiation with a 1mm margin or 0mm margin, have their simulation/radiation planning imaging on the same day that brain-directed stereotactic radiation is delivered, and have repeat simulation/radiation planning scans...
This study aims to assess multimodal Radiomics-based prediction model for prognostic prediction in spinal tumors.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of steroids treatment compared with placebo in preserving facial nerve function after craniotomy in patients with vestibular schwannoma who have not received preoperative treatment and have good intraoperative facial nerve function.
This phase I trial tests the safety and side effects of STIL101 for injection and how well it works in treating patients with pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer (CRC), renal cell cancer (RCC), cervical cancer (CC) and melanoma that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or to other places in the body (metastatic) or that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). STIL101 for injection, an autologous (made from the patients own cells) cellular therapy, is made up of specialized white blood cells called lymphocytes or "T cells" collected from a piece of the patients tumor tissue. The T cells collected from the tumor are then grown in a laboratory to create...
Precision medicine represents a major goal in oncology. It has its underpinning in the identification of biomarkers with diagnostic, prognostic, or predictive values. Gastro-entero-pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasia (GEP-NENs) are rare tumors, but their frequency is increasing. In this context, the tumor expression of carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX), complemented by a restricted profile in normal tissues, provides an opportunity for therapeutic targeting and precision medicine. Indeed, radiolabeling the anti-CAIX monoclonal antibody girentuximab with Zirconium 89 has shown promise as a novel positron emission tomography (PET) tracer and labeling with 177 Lutetium promise as a...
The purpose of this study is to improve outcome of breast cancer patients who develop brain metastases. This will investigate the benefits of early detection of brain metastases using brain imaging. In patients diagnosed and currently being treated for advanced or metastatic breast cancer, current guidelines do not recommend routine brain imaging. However, there is emerging evidence suggesting that patients diagnosed without symptoms of brain metastases may have a better outcome than those with symptoms such as headache, vomiting and weakness. In current practice, if signs and symptoms suggestive of brain metastases are to develop, then the doctor will arrange imaging of the...
The changes of target and organs at risk in patients with high-grade glioma during concurrent chemoradiotherapy were evaluated by MRI image between radiotherapy fractions.
This is phase III randomized, multicenter study adding or not intra-venous Liposomal Trasncrocetin (L-TC) to hypofractionated radiotherapy and concomitant Temozolomide followed by adjuvant Temozolomide in patients with histologically confirmed diagnosis of glioblastoma (GBM).
