Radiosurgery is the use of a focal high dose of radiation therapy to ablate or kill a tumor. This trial will enroll patients with brain metastases 4 cm or less in greatest diameter and will compare 0mm margin to a 2mm margin for treatment.
In recent years, the prognosis for BRAFV600E-mutant metastatic melanoma has been transformed with targeted therapies combining BRAF and MEK inhibitors (dabrafenib-trametinib and encorafenib-cobimetinib), which have improved progression-free survival and overall survival. However, adverse events are very frequent, and a significant proportion of patients progress secondarily. Several clinical studies have shown that inter-individual variability in plasma exposure to BRAF inhibitors (dabrafenib, vemurafenib) or MEK inhibitors (trametinib) may contribute in part to the occurrence of severe toxicities, and on the efficiency of the treatment. To our knowledge, no data are currently...
The goal of this observational study is to describe the real-world effectiveness and safety of tirabrutinib among relapsed or refractory PCNSL patients in Taiwan.
This study is the first to explore the efficacy and safety of recombinant human adenovirus type 5 injection combined with PD-1 monoclonal antibody and nab-paclitaxel in the treatment of patients with liver metastases of melanoma, in order to provide a new method for the clinical treatment of melanoma. The model also provides reference and basis for other tumor treatments.
The REMIT (RE-irradiation of diffuse MIdline glioma paTients) study evaluates safety and the palliative efficacy of re-irradiation of patients with diffuse midline glioma (DMG). The study will introduce a standard re-irradiation treatment schedule for DMG patients who have progressed following primary treatment.
There are several predictors of clinical outcome in patients undergoing brain tumor surgery. Among those, nutritional parameters and calculated nutritional index are known to have ability to predict mortality and clinical outcomes in some patients with brain tumor. However, there are lack of consistent results on predictability of nutritional index and clinical outcome in patients undergoing brain tumor surgery.
The growing U.S. cancer survivor population is projected to hit 26M by 2040. Chemotherapy represents an effective cancer treatment but can diminish cancer survivors' quality of life-particularly cognitive function-through select pathophysiological processes. Research on chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment (hereafter, 'chemo-brain') is therefore critical. Chemotherapy disrupts immune system function and antioxidant regulation, causing inflammatory molecule release and damaging the brain's blood vessels. The brain's vascular function and, possibly, its neurons, are subsequently impaired-likely contributing to chemo-brain. Type 2 diabetes (T2D), a common cancer survivor...
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the repeatability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutant (mIDH1) low-grade diffuse glioma [World Health Organization (WHO) grade 2] who are receiving off-label ivosidenib.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and feasibility of administering repeated doses of neural stem cell (NSC)-conditionally replicative adenovirus (CRAd)-survivin (S)-protomer (p)k7, in persons with newly diagnosed high grade glioma. The main questions it aims to answer are: - whether multiple doses of NSC-CRAd-S-pk7 are safe and feasible - how multiple doses of NSC-CRAd-S-pk7 influence tumor response, overall survival, time to tumor progression, and quality of life. Participants will: - undergo a biopsy to confirm high grade glioma, then receive the first dose of NSC-CRAd-S-pk7 into the brain - about 2 weeks later,...
REPOSE is a phase II clinical trial exploring the safety and efficacy of repotrectinib in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) characterized by the presence of brain metastasis (BM) and whose tumors have mutated ROS proto-oncogene 1, receptor tyrosine kinase (ROS1) gene.
