The goal of this observational study is to characterize the circulating leukocyte profile and the immune T cells distribution within the tumor in patients with malignant brain tumors and to correlate these findings with the oncological outcome. Participants will be subjected to blood sampling before surgery and for 12 months of follow-up. Additional sampling and analysis will be performed on tumor samples.
The aim of this study is to study T-cells. Blood will be collected and the samples will be used to generate T cell clones. Two separate blood draws will be required at the maximum.
The patients are being asked to take part in this clinical trial because they received cancer treatment as a child at St. Jude. The study comprehensively examines sleep among three distinct diagnostic groups of survivors in the SJLIFE cohort: ALL, CNS tumors, and non-CNS solid tumors. Primary Objective The primary aim of this protocol is to estimate the prevalence of various sleep disorders among long-term survivors of childhood ALL, CNS tumors, and non- CNS solid tumors. Exploratory Objective The exploratory objective of the study is to explore associations between the prevalence of sleep disorders and clinical outcomes collected in SJLIFE.
This is a window-of-opportunity study for patients with resectable Merkel Cell Carcinoma. The aim of this study is to test the activity of a course of chemo-immunotherapy followed by surgery in patients with operable Merkel cell carcinoma. Participants will receive one cycle of retifanlimab plus platinum-etoposide chemotherapy prior to their scheduled surgery.
Recent lab-based discoveries suggest that IDO (indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase) and BTK (Bruton's tyrosine Kinase) form a closely linked metabolic checkpoint in tumor-associated antigen-presenting cells. The central clinical hypothesis for the GCC2020 study is that combining ibrutinib (BTK-inhibitor) with indoximod (IDO-inhibitor) during chemotherapy will synergistically enhance anti-tumor immune responses, leading to improvement in clinical response with manageable overlapping toxicity. GCC2020 is a prospective open-label phase 1 trial to determine the best safe dose of ibrutinib to use in combination with a previously studied chemo-immunotherapy regimen, comprised of the...
Currently, the optimal treatment regimen for elderly Glioblastoma (GBM) patients with poor performance status (PS) is unknown. Based on data for elderly GBM patients and the limited data for patients with poor PS, hypofractionated RT or a short course of Temozolomide (TMZ) may provide survival benefit without the added toxicity and inconvenience of a more protracted treatment regimen. In particular, treatment with RT or TMZ monotherapy on the basis of methylated O6 - methyl guanine - DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation status, followed by the alternative therapy at progression, may provide a safe and effective treatment regimen for patients with poor PS. The...
This phase II trial studies how well temozolomide and radiation therapy work in treating patients with IDH wildtype historically lower grade gliomas or non-histological molecular glioblastomas. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. The goal of this clinical research study is to compare receiving new radiation therapy doses and volumes to the prior standard treatment for...
there is a need for improving chemotherapy regimen for metastatic G3 NEC of GEP and Unknown origin and this goal may be achieved through more "personalized" chemotherapy regimen.the hypothesis is that mFOLFIRINOX regimen could be a good candidate for challenging the platinum-etoposide regimen in patients with metastatic G3 NEC of GEP or unknown origin. Furthermore, in order to get insights in the putative predictive biomarkers of efficacy of these two regimens, an effort toward a precise molecular characterization of these tumors is required in order to be able to define which subgroup of G3 NEC needs to be treated by which chemotherapy regimen. The FOLFIRINEC trial is set up in...
This research study evaluates the effect of chemotherapy on cognition (thinking) and the brain in people with breast cancer.
This is a single arm, open-label, multi-center, pilot studies (Investigator Initiated Trial, IIT) to evaluate the safety, preliminary efficacy, pharmacokinetics of universal T-cells engineered with chimeric natural killer receptor (CNK-UT) to treat the patients with relapsed/refractory Neuroblastoma.
