A phase II, open-label, multicenter, randomized controlled trial exploring the efficacy and safety of Trastuzumab Deruxtecan combined with or without Neratinib in HER2-positive breast cancer with brain metastasis
We will conduct a multicenter, open label phase I/ II trial to assess the safety and clinical efficacy of tebentafusp-tebn in combination with liver-directed therapies in HLA-A*0201 positive patients with metastatic uveal melanoma. In Part 1 of the study, we will investigate the safety and efficacy of tebentafusp-tebn in combination with hepatic IE in patients with a low to moderate hepatic disease burden. In Part 2, we will investigate the efficacy of tebentafusp-tebn in combination with TACE in patients with bulky hepatic disease.
In response to the symptom needs experienced in advanced cancer, the investigators developed a brief, integrated CBT-ACT symptom management intervention, Finding Our Center Under Stress (FOCUS). Using FOCUS, participants learn skills to self-manage sleep, worry-anxiety, depression, and fatigue and improve their ability to focus on what matters most to them despite these symptoms. Results of the pilot randomized controlled trial with people with advanced cancer demonstrate improved sleep on both self-report and physiologic (i.e., actigraphy) measures, and improvements on worry, depression, and fatigue interference with strong effect sizes ranging from d= 0.59 to 0.98 and...
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the safety and effects of sulforaphane with the safety and effects of placebo on people's risk of developing melanoma. The main question it aims to answer is: Will giving sulforaphane (a broccoli sprout extract) have a meaningful effect on how your atypical moles change over time? If there is an effect, will this lower your risk of developing melanoma? Participants will: Take sulforaphane or a placebo for 12 months Visit the clinic once every 3 months for checkups and tests You will keep a calendar which will help you keep track of when you take your tablets
The purpose of the CCANED-CIPHER study is to develop and validate an AI-based blood test for early cancer detection and to monitor treatment effectiveness in cancer patients. This two-phase, multi-center observational study aims to identify specific transcriptomic biomarkers in platelets and immune cells that distinguish cancer patients from healthy individuals and correlate with treatment outcomes. By analysing blood samples using artificial intelligence, the study seeks to create a safe, non-invasive method to enhance cancer diagnosis and monitor treatment responses over time.
The study of investigators indicated that TMZ can up-regulate dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) expression, and mediates Ferroptosis inhibition and chemoresistance of GBM. The clinical data also proved that the DRD2 expression in recurrent GBM is significantly higher than that in primary GBM. Moreover, the DRD2 antagonist haloperidol can attenuate the above function of DRD2, and increase the sensitivity of GBM to the TMZ by inducing fatal autophagy and ferroptosis. In xenograft mice, the combined usage of haloperidol and Temozolomide (TMZ) can significantly inhibit tumor growth and increase overall survival. The investigators' findings have been published in Clinical cancer research....
This trial is a single arm study for patients receiving bevacizumab for IDH-wildtype glioblastoma. Patients receiving bevacizumab (an anti-VEGF therapy) will receive PSMA scans to investigate the role of PSMA expression in glioblastoma and its relationship to VEGF expression.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about in patients with supratentorial brain tumours. The main questions it aims to answer is: Can short-term preoperative walking exercise protect cognitive function in the short term after craniotomy in patients with supratentorial brain tumor and reduce the incidence of surgery-related complications? Participants will be asked to receive general care and regular walking exercises prior to surgery. Researchers will compare patients who receive only general care before surgery to see if preoperative walking exercise has an effect on postoperative prognosis.
The pineal region and brainstem tumors are located at the central position of the cranial cavity, surrounded by important neural structures and venous systems, leading to challenges in preoperative diagnosis, adding uncertainty and complexity to treatment. For a long time, surgical treatment of pineal region and brainstem tumors has been one of the most challenging areas in neurosurgery. With the development of neuroendoscopy and virtual endoscopy technologies, how to convert complex three-dimensional bone, vascular, and neural images into virtual endoscopic images and how to combine virtual endoscopy with neuro-navigation for endoscopic skull base surgery to provide...
Medical treatments have improved survival rates for children with brain tumours. However, most children experience long-term difficulties with 'cognition' (thinking skills such as memory and paying attention) and cognitive fatigue (excessive mental tiredness) after treatment. Thinking difficulties and fatigue can affect a child's ability to learn, and their social and emotional wellbeing. National guidance recommends treatment called 'cognitive rehabilitation' which teaches skills to improve or manage cognitive difficulties. Families often request this, but it is not usually available due to little research. Fatigue may also get in the way of children using and benefiting from...
