The FloTrac/Vigileo is a minimal invasive device assessing flow based hemodynamic parameters by pulse contour analysis based on the radial artery pressure signal. This method gained popularity as it is minimally invasive compared to esophageal Doppler or pulmonary artery catheter insertion and provides continuous beat-to-beat data. The previous study with 110 patients found that that GDHT guided by stroke volume variation (SVV) using the FloTrac/Vigileo device was associated with a reduced length of hospital stay and a lower incidence of POGD in major abdominal oncological surgery. However, no difference was found in the incidence of postoperative complications between the...
Precision medicine represents a major goal in oncology. It has its underpinning in the identification of biomarkers with diagnostic, prognostic, or predictive values. Gastro-entero-pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasia (GEP-NENs) are rare tumors, but their frequency is increasing. In this context, the tumor expression of carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX), complemented by a restricted profile in normal tissues, provides an opportunity for therapeutic targeting and precision medicine. Indeed, radiolabeling the anti-CAIX monoclonal antibody girentuximab with Zirconium 89 has shown promise as a novel positron emission tomography (PET) tracer and labeling with 177 Lutetium promise as a...
The goal of this clinical trial is to to assess the dose level of dinutuximab Beta (DB) when combined with 2 different induction chemotherapy regimens (named GPOH or rapid COJEC) in newly diagnosed high-risk neuroblastoma patients. The main question is: • to assess the safety and tolerability and identifying the recommended phase II dose and/or the maximum tolerable dose of dinutiximab Beta when combined with 2 standard induction chemotherapy regimens Participants will receive: - GPOH + dinutuximab beta infusion duration = 10 mg/m2 × 5 days (50 mg/m2/course) in 21-day treatment intervals. - Rapid COJEC + dinutuximab beta infusion duration = 10 mg/m2 × 3 days...
The purpose of this study is to improve outcome of breast cancer patients who develop brain metastases. This will investigate the benefits of early detection of brain metastases using brain imaging. In patients diagnosed and currently being treated for advanced or metastatic breast cancer, current guidelines do not recommend routine brain imaging. However, there is emerging evidence suggesting that patients diagnosed without symptoms of brain metastases may have a better outcome than those with symptoms such as headache, vomiting and weakness. In current practice, if signs and symptoms suggestive of brain metastases are to develop, then the doctor will arrange imaging of the...
The changes of target and organs at risk in patients with high-grade glioma during concurrent chemoradiotherapy were evaluated by MRI image between radiotherapy fractions.
This is phase III randomized, multicenter study adding or not intra-venous Liposomal Trasncrocetin (L-TC) to hypofractionated radiotherapy and concomitant Temozolomide followed by adjuvant Temozolomide in patients with histologically confirmed diagnosis of glioblastoma (GBM).
Patients ≥ 3 years of age with newly-diagnosed, diffuse, intrinsic pontine glioma will be enrolled in this study. However, the primary objectives of this study are to 1) compare overall survival, the time from randomization to death from any cause, for study subjects 3-21 years of age with newly-diagnosed, diffuse, intrinsic pontine glioma who receive Antineoplaston therapy (Atengenal + Astugenal) + radiation therapy vs. radiation therapy alone and 2) describe the toxicity profile (all subjects) for Antineoplaston therapy + radiation therapy vs. radiation therapy alone. A secondary objective is to compare progression-free survival for study subjects 3-21 years of age with...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of Cadonilimab combined with bevacizumab and chemotherapy for advanced non-squamous NSCLC with untreated brain metastases. Cadonilimab is a bispecific antibody (BsAb), which can bind PD-1 and CTLA-4 at the same time with high affinity. It is a new tumor immunotherapy drug with tetravalent structure and short half-life. It has shown less toxicity than anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 antibodies in monkey toxicity studies. These characteristics make the application of Cadonilimab in tumor subjects may have better efficacy and safety. AK104-207 is an open, multicenter, phase Ib/II clinical study, which aims to evaluate...
Although immunotherapy revolutionized melanoma outcomes over the last 10 years, only 40-50% of patients respond to treatments and 25% develop acquired resistances. Natural Killer (NK) cells naturally recognize and kill tumor cells. However, the immunosuppressive micro-environment generated by the tumor decreases NK cells' killing activity. CD160 is a NK cell receptor identified and characterized in our laboratory. Engagement of the GPI isoform (CD160-GPI) initiates NK cell cytotoxic response. Upon NK cell activation, a transmembrane isoform (CD160-TM) is neo-synthesized which promotes the amplification of activated NK cell cytotoxicity. The aim of this study is to assess the...
The purpose of this phase 2 study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of epcoritamab in subjects with relapsed or refractory primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the Central Nervous System treated with rituximab and lenalidomide.
