Previous studies have demonstrated that patients frequently undergo significant decision conflict regarding major medical decisions in otolaryngology. There lack validated tools available for decision support for patients. While limited evidence has demonstrated that clinical decision support tools can alleviate decision conflict for patients with diagnosis in otolaryngology, conversational language models were not employed in these studies and may provide additional benefit in this context. This study seeks to evaluate the efficacy of using ChatGPT, a conversational language model with basic clinical knowledge, in alleviating decision conflict for patients with new diagnosis...
Leptomeningeal metastases is a specific pattern of central involvement in which tumor cells invade and proliferate in the subarachnoid space, and is a lethal complication of malignant tumors. Leptomeningeal metastases from Her2-negative breast cancer is still tricky to treat at present, with an overall median survival of only 3-6 months, even after aggressive treatment. This study is an open, uncontrolled phase I/II clinical study to observe the safety, feasibility, and potential efficacy of Sacituzumab Govitecan combined with pemetrexed intrathecal chemotherapy in the treatment of patients with Her2-negative breast cancer leptomeningeal metastases in search of a more...
The incidence of brain metastasis of Her2-negative breast cancer is high, which seriously affects the prognosis of patients.The treatment of brain metastasis of Her2-negative breast cancer is still tricky. The local efficacy of head radiotherapy for breast cancer brain metastases is remarkable, and systemic tumor progression in patients with brain metastases is the main reason for treatment failure. Sacituzumab Govitecan is the only Trop-2 antibody-coupled drug (ADC) approved for the treatment of unresectable locally advanced or metastatic Her2-negative breast cancer. However, the objective remission rate of Sacituzumab Govitecan for intracranial metastatic lesions has not been...
Radiotherapy (RT) is one of the most important local treatments besides surgery, but currently, no consensus has been made regarding the optimal radiation volume for high grade gliomas. The most main growth characteristics of glioblastoma is infiltrative growth through the white matter tracts, regions along the white matter tracts especially at the direction of the main fiber bundles would have a higher risk of microscopic tumor cell dissemination. However, in current practice, recommends for the CTV definition is adding a 2 cm symmetrical margin to GTV or peritumoral edema in all directions, which hardly account for the growth characteristics of gliomas that are known...
This will be a prospective, open-label, single-arm pilot study to investigate the safety and efficacy of Bevacizumab (BEV) in combination with microbubble (MB)-mediated FUS in patients with recurrent GBM. BEV represents the physician's best choice for the standard of care (SoC) in rGBM after previous treatment with surgery (if appropriate), standard radiotherapy with temozolomide chemotherapy, and with adjuvant temozolomide.
The primary study objectives are 1. to evaluate the safety and tolerability profiles of DCB-BO1301 and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of DCB-BO1301 as add-on therapy to dacarbazine in subjects with advanced melanoma (Phase I) 2. to evaluate the efficacy profile of DCB-BO1301 at MTD or lower dose level as add-on therapy to dacarbazine in subjects with advanced melanoma in terms of progression free survival (Phase IIa)
This trial is a single-arm, open-label, first-in-human study of CS231295, comprising two phases: dose escalation (including single-dose and multiple-dose) and cohort expansion. The Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) observation period includes 6 days for single-dose and the first cycle (28 days) for multiple-dose. The overall study consists of screening period, treatment period, and follow-up period. The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics of CS231295 in patients with advanced solid tumors, and to recommended Phase 2 dose(s) (RP2D) of CS231295 in appropriate tumor(s).
This is a phase 1 open label study to establish the safety, tolerability, maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), and preliminary efficacy of a single dose of JCXH-211. The study agent JCXH-211, is a self-replicating RNA (srRNA)-based human IL-12, administered intratumorally via convection-enhanced delivery (CED) to patients with recurrent or progressive high-grade glioma. Primary objective is to determine MTD or RP2D for a single dose on the study drug. Secondary outcomes include overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed by modified mRANO 2.0.
The aim of the study is to generate patient-derived organoids (PDOs) from brain resection or biopsied extra-cranial metastases. The preliminary data collected will be used to assess the ability of PDOs to predict patients' treatment response and their radio-sensitivity and chemo-sensitivity can be correlated with their survival outcome.
Aromatase inhibitors are the most used endocrine therapy for hormone-positive breast cancer. While there is a clear linear relationship between the duration of aromatase inhibitor use and the cumulative incidence of cardiovascular events and mortality, the underlying mechanisms contributing to this risk remain unknown. This study will characterize the short-term effects of aromatase inhibitor therapy on established and novel health indices for cardiovascular diseases in breast cancer patients. Using a longitudinal case-control design this study will assess the effects of short-term (first 6 months) aromatase inhibitor use in breast cancer patients compared to age-...
