The purpose of this single arm, multi-national clinical trial in patients with metastatic or unresectable melanoma is to evaluate the BOR and compare it to historical data on patients on anti-PD1 treatment with pembrolizumab alone.
Arterial spin labeling (ASL) is a non-invasive MRI technique that could help the radiologists to distinguish brain metastasis progression versus radionecrosis following gamma-knife treatment. The primary target of the study is to establish the diagnostic performances (specificity, sensitivity) of quantitative measures of ASL in brain metastases suspected of progression/radionecrosis after GK treatment
This is a multi-site clinical study enrolling 2000 newly diagnosed patients with breast, colorectal, melanoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or non-small cell lung cancer, who are planning to receive one or more systemic cancer directed therapies with chemotherapy and/or (immune checkpoint inhibitors) ICIs.
Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular tumor in adults. The local treatment is effective, but patients still die of metastatic disease. It has been shown that early diagnosis of a few isolated metastases can result in a clean surgical excision of the metastases and an extension of the expected survival from 7-12 months to over 10 years on some patients. Many serum biomarkers are employed in Oncology. It makes sense to try the relevant ones in the diagnosis of metastatic uveal melanoma. The investigators hypothesis is that a soluble serum biomarker level changes upon development of metastatic disease either by secretion by the tumor cells themselves or by their...
This study will aim to assess the fertility status of men with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) not on disease-modifying therapies. Participants will: 1. Complete online questionnaires that will assess SMA diagnosis and disease burden, medical and surgical history, medication usage, and fertility status and perspectives. 2. Over the 3-month initial study baseline period participants will provide two separate ejaculates for semen analysis and a single determination of sperm quality using DNA fragmentation testing using home collection and subsequent shipment to a central laboratory. 3. Over the initial study baseline period of 3 months study...
To explore the cognitive impairment caused by chemotherapy and endocrine therapy in premenopausal breast cancer patients and to find biomarkers with early predictive effect on this cognitive impairment by using multimodal integrated PET/MRI technology combined with psychobehavioral technology.
This is a multicenter, interventional, randomized study among adult patients recently diagnosed with a rare tumor (<12 months). The study will aim to compare compliance with the personalized post-treatment surveillance plan, established for each patient according to national guidelines, when the surveillance is conducted in person by a hospital-based physician (control arm) or remotely by a trained nurse (experimental arm).
Purpose of the study: AIM 1: Prospectively collect pre-operative [functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), magnetoencephalography (MEG)] and intra-operative mapping data in patients with intra-axial brain tumors to assess how well each modality predicts the location of eloquent brain function. In addition, each modality will be compared with the other. AIM 2: Assess reorganization of eloquent brain function and plasticity in patients with intra-axial brain tumors. This will be accomplished by prospectively collecting post-operative mapping studies and neuropsychological tests to compare them to prior mapping studies as stated above.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the prognostic capacity of DMI in a trial assessing the efficacy of adding BPM31510, a lipid nano dispersion of CoQ10 to standard treatment of Glioblastoma (GBM).
The purpose of this prospective, nonrandomized controlled phase IV study is to compare standard and advanced MRI for their ability to predict response to Optune therapy.
