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...
Meningiomas are the most common primary tumors of the central nervous system in adults. High-grade forms have a high frequency of neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2) mutations and represent 25% of meningiomas, with multiple recurrences associated with morbidity and reduced survival without medical options, including immunotherapy. The meninges play a key role in neuro-immune communication through the diversity of their immune cells and the presence of meningeal lymphatic vessels (MLV). Recent data, including from our team, shows frequent infiltration of lymphocytes and myeloid cells specific to benign meningiomas. Our hypothesis is that the immune microenvironment composed of...
Physical activity (PA) has been an integral part of non-drug therapy since the early 2010s. This supportive care is likely to reduce fatigue and improve the quality of life of patients during and after the cancer treatment phase. Physical activity also has a protective effect in terms of tertiary prevention by reducing the risk of recurrence of certain cancers (breast, colon, prostate) by around 40 to 50% and by reducing overall mortality. Adapted physical activity (APA) is offered at the Institut de Cancérologie de l'Ouest (ICO) in Angers, but there are obstacles particularly linked to the geographical distance of the establishment where this activity is offered. The...
This study will evaluate whether the combination of sacituzumab govitecan (SG) and bevacizumab will result in shrinkage of brain metastases from patients with non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with disease progression on chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
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).
