The objective of this study is to evaluate the sensitivity of the DermaSensor device and Investigators when used on skin lesions concerning for melanoma.
This is an observational, multicentre epidemiological study with a longitudinal cohort in which information will be retrieved from medical records of patients with advanced metastatic or unresectable melanoma at first diagnosis.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of T-DXd in patients with HER2-positive (IHC 3+) locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic solid tumors who have received prior systemic treatment for metastatic or advanced disease and have no satisfactory alternative treatment options in a real-world setting in the US
About 20 to 30% of patients treated for cancer will have brain metastases. These brain metastases are found more frequently in patients with lung cancer, breast cancer or melanoma. The prognosis of these patients is unfavorable but prolonged survival can be obtained with the local and systemic treatments currently available. Brain MRI is the gold standard for evaluating brain metastases but has limitations in therapeutic evaluation, partially offset by PET imaging of amino acid metabolism. Our work aims to compare the performance of PET-DOPA with standard MRI for the detection of brain metastases (≥ 5mm) in lung cancer, breast cancer and melanoma; and to characterize these...
Plastic particles are a ubiquitous pollutant in the living environment and food chain, so far, plenty of studies have reported the internal exposure of microplastics and nanoplastics in human tissues and enclosed body fluids. Neurosurgery is the only department that can open the skull. In addition to blood and cerebrospinal fluid, there are brain tissue and tumors in the presence of lesions. Whether any of these microplastics and nanoplastics are present remains a mystery. This prospective observational study will harvest biological samples of neurosurgery patients. The objective of this research is to be able to detect microplastics and nanoplastics on blood and operation...
This clinical trial is looking at a drug called alectinib. Alectinib is approved as standard of care treatment for adult patients with certain types of lung cancer. This means it has gone through clinical trials and been approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the UK. Alectinib works in lung cancer patients with a particular mutation in their cancer known as ALK. Investigators now wish to find out if it will be useful in treating patients with other cancer types which have the same mutation. If the results are positive, the study team will work with the NHS and the Cancer Drugs Fund to see if these drugs can be routinely accessed for...
This clinical trial is looking at a drug called atezolizumab. Atezolizumab is approved as standard of care treatment for adult patients with urothelial cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, extensive-stage small cell lung cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma and triple negative breast cancer. This means it has gone through clinical trials and been approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the UK. Atezolizumab works in patients with these types of cancers which have certain changes in the cancer cells called high tumour mutational burden (TMB) or high microsatellite instability (MSI) or proven (previously diagnosed) constitutional mismatch...
This clinical trial is looking at a drug called entrectinib. Entrectinib is approved as standard of care treatment for adult patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) which have a particular molecular alteration called ROS1-positive, and patients 12 years old or above with solid tumours which have another type of change in the cancer cells. This means it has gone through clinical trials and been approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the UK. Investigators now wish to find out if it will be useful in treating patients with other cancer types which have the same molecular alteration (ROS1-positive). If the results are positive, the...
This clinical trial is looking at a combination of drugs called vemurafenib and cobimetinib. Vemurafenib is approved as standard of care for adult patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Cobimetinib is approved as standard of care in combination with vemurafenib for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma. This means it has gone through clinical trials and been approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the UK. Cobimetinib and vemurafenib work in patients with these types of cancers which have certain changes in the cancer cells called BRAF V600 mutation-positive. Investigators now wish to find out...
This clinical trial is looking at a drug called capmatinib. Capmatinib is approved as standard of care treatment for adult patients with certain types of lung cancer. This means it has gone through clinical trials and been approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the UK. Capmatinib works in lung cancer patients with a particular mutation in their cancer known as a METex14 skipping mutation. Investigators now wish to find out if it will be useful in treating patients with other cancer types which have the same mutation or other specific mutations or changes which take place in the MET gene. If the results are positive, the study team will...
