Background: High-grade neuroendocrine carcinomas (HGNEC) are cancers that develop in different parts of the body, including the digestive tract, genitals, neck, and head. One drug (belinostat), combined with 2 other drugs (etoposide and cisplatin), is approved to treat HGNEC. But some people may have a gene variant that affects how quickly their body gets rid of the drug; these people may do better with different dosages of belinostat. Objective: To test higher or lower doses of belinostat based on gene variants in people with HGNEC. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with HGNEC. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with...
The purpose of this clinical study should be that, in the context of planned resections of glial brain tumors, pieces of tissue (biopsies) are removed from the tumor at several specific locations before the actual tumor resection takes place. The aim of these biopsies in advance to the actual tumor resection will be to receive tumor tissue samples not altered in such a way that it is no longer adequate for further treatment. If not adequate, a so-called "undergrading" could occur, which means that the biological structure of the tumor is misjudged and further therapy does not achieve the desired effect in the patient. On the one hand, certain tumor regions can drift due to a...
The global objective of this study is to establish the safety and investigate the potential treatment effect of an intravenous infusion of HB-adMSCs (Hope Biosciences adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells) on brain structure, neurocognitive/functional outcomes, and neuroinflammation after traumatic brain injury.
The purpose of this study is to test the manufacturing feasibility and safety of intravenous (IV) administration of B7-H3CART in children and young adult subjects with relapsed and/or refractory solid tumors expressing B7-H3 target using a standard 3+3 dose escalation design.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of using T lymphocyte chimeric antigen receptor cells against the B7-H3 antigen (CAR.B7-H3T cells) in patients with glioblastoma. CAR.B7-H3T cells treatment has not been tested in humans and is not an approved treatment by the Food and Drug Administration for glioblastoma.
Prospective interventional study with a device for comparing autonomic parameters among patients with different forms of cognitive decline
This phase II trial studies the effect of avapritinib in treating malignant solid tumors that have a genetic change (mutation) in CKIT or PDGFRA and have spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or other places in the body (metastatic). Avapritinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Avapritinib may help to control the growth of malignant solid tumors.
The purpose of this study is to understand the breadth of molecular characteristics present in participants cared for in a large integrated, community-based health care system. Using comprehensive genomic profiling and proteomics, the investigators seek to identify the underlying genomic drivers of premalignant or malignant conditions in participants across different stages of disease development and cancer types. Comprehensive molecular profiling will consist of somatic tumor testing (tissue and/or blood) using whole exome sequencing, whole transcriptome sequencing, proteomics, and selected instances of whole genome sequencing. In addition, the investigators seek to perform...
The goal of this observational study is to develop an innovative, comprehensive, and explainable AI vision-language foundation model (VLM) to advance the diagnosis and interpretation of brain diseases using multi-modal data. We will include patient demographics, medical imaging data (such as MRI, CT, and PET scans), histopathological data, genomic data when available, and other necessary laboratory examinations and tests to establish a screening and diagnostic model for brain diseases.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find out if taking axitinib with ipilimumab is effective in treating advanced melanoma.
