This is a single-arm, monocentric, phase II trial, enrolling patients with histological diagnosis of collecting duct carcinoma and renal medullary carcinoma with locally advanced or metastatic disease who will be treated with Pembrolizumab plus Enfortumab Vedotin. Approximately, 23 patients will be enrolled. At screening, pre-existing archival primary and metastatic FFPE tumor specimen will be collected and submitted for central pathology review and translational analysis. All participants will undergo baseline screening imaging for clinical staging. Patients will be treated with Pembrolizumab q21 plus Enfortumab Vedotin 1,8q21 for 3 cycles (3 infusion of Pembrolizumab and 6...
Proton Beam Therapy (PBT) and Evaluative Commissioning in Protons (ECIP): PBT is an advanced radiotherapy technique. There are two National Health Service (NHS) PBT treatment centres in the United Kingdom, in Manchester and London. The NHS is committed to ensuring the best use of this limited resource by investigating which patients will benefit from PBT. ECIP is a programme of studies exploring the role of PBT in different types of cancer funded by NHS England. ECIP studies are not randomised, eligible patients will be offered PBT. Any eligible UK patient can be referred, and accommodation is available for patients who don't live close to a PBT centre. The main benefit of PBT,...
To explore PFS, ORR (CR/CRu+PR), OS and side effects of piamprizumab combined with RMA in newly diagnosed PCNSL, so as to clarify the value of piamprizumab combined with RMA in the first-line treatment of PCNSL patients, and to clarify the clinical and biological factors affecting the efficacy
This is a multisite, phase I/II clinical trial in children and young adults with newly-diagnosed high-grade glioma (HGG), diffuse midline glioma (DMG) and recurrent HGG/DMG, Medulloblastoma (MB), or ependymoma (EPN) to determine the safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of a CMV-directed peptide vaccine plus checkpoint blockade.
The purpose of this study is to assess wether the SONDA visual field test is suitable for patients with a supra sellar tumour.
Supratentorial craniotomy is one of the most common neurosurgical procedures, with severe perioperative pain. Inadequate perioperative pain relief has been associated with increased blood pressure and intracranial pressure, favoring bleeding and cerebral cerebral hypoperfusion. The ideal analgesia for neurosurgery requires complete pain relief, eliminates the side effects of opioid drugs and no influence for neurological function. Previous studies have proposed a multimodal analgesic strategy, combining analgesics and local anaesthesia, it is expected to achieve the above benefits.
Tumor in situ fluid (TISF) refers to the fluid within the surgical cavity of patients with glioblastoma. Postoperative serial TISF is collected for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis and identifying ctDNA-level relapse driven by one or a set of specific genomic alterations before overt imaging recurrence of the tumor. This single-arm open-label prospective pilot feasibility trial recruiting 20 adult patients with ctDNA-level-relapse glioblastoma who are assigned to receive the personalized study treatment based on the genetic profile of their serial TISF ctDNA. It will be aimed to test whether the personalized intervention can prolong the progression-free and overall survival...
This phase I trial studies the impact of taking drugs (agents) that target altered brain metabolism following standard of care brain radiotherapy. Radiotherapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. However, radiotherapy can also cause harmful effects to normal brain functioning. One drug, called anhydrous enol-oxaloacetate (AEO), has previously been studied in ischemic stroke, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and glioma. Drugs such as AEO may help preserve or restore healthy brain function after brain radiotherapy compared to the standard practice which consists of no drugs.
Advanced technology of ex vivo drug profiling referred to as pharmacoscopy may allow to identify novel drugs for the treatment of glioblastoma and other refractory brain tumors at an individual patient level. This personalized therapeutic approach was developed and validated in pre-clinical glioma models. With the current research proposal, we seek to establish feasibility for a clinical interventional trial for patients with refractory primary brain tumors that is based on pharmacoscopy-guided selection of treatment.
This is an open-label, multi-center Phase 0/1b study that will enroll up to 18 participants with recurrent WHO grade 4 glioblastoma (rGBM) IDH-wildtype (IDH-WT), Arm A, and 12 participants with presumed newly-diagnosed WHO grade 4 glioblastoma (nGBM) IDH-WT, Arm B. The trial will be composed of a Phase 0 component (subdivided into Arms A and B), and an Expansion Phase 1b. Patients with tumors demonstrating a positive pharmacokinetic (PK) response in the Phase 0 component of the study will graduate to an Expansion Phase that combines therapeutic dosing of quisinostat plus standard-of-care fractionated radiotherapy (RT).
