INVISIBLE-1 aims to prospectively follow patients up to one year after ischemic stroke to: 1. Determine the cumulative incidence of occult cancer in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) and elevated D-dimer 2. Describe occult cancer characteristics and spontaneous course of occult cancer Methodology The investigators will include 370 stroke patients with elevated D-dimer (≥ 820 μg/L) at the time of stroke, suspicion of ESUS after initial workup and without known cancer. The investigators will perform a follow-up telephone interview at one year to assess the occurrence of a new cancer and characterize the course of the...
Automated immunodosage methods (Roche Elecsys cortisol and IDS cortisol dosing kits) offer a simple and inexpensive technology routinely used in a medical biology laboratory. They can be used to define robust diagnostic thresholds for salivary cortisol for the diagnosis of Cushing's syndrome and pseudo-Cushing combining the three tests performed as part of the patient's usual management. (ie two urinary free cortisol (UFC), the dexamethasone suppression test, and Diurnal variation of plasma cortisol).
This is a phase 1, first-in-human, open-label, multicenter, dose escalation and expansion study of DLL3-targeted chimeric antigen receptor T-cells in subjects with extensive stage small cell lung cancer or large cell neuroendocrine lung cancer.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of cord blood-derived expanded allogeneic natural killer cells (donor natural killer [NK] cells) and how well they work when given together with cyclophosphamide and etoposide in treating children and young adults with solid tumors that have come back (relapsed) or that do not respond to treatment (refractory). NK cells, white blood cells important to the immune system, are donated/collected from cord blood collected at birth from healthy babies and grown in the lab. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells,...
This phase 1 study is to determine the optimal dose and tolerability of a hypoxia-activating agent, tirapazamine, when it is combined with embolization in liver cancer. Liver cancer patients who are Child-Pugh score A, suitable for embolization with tumor no more than 4 nodules are eligible. Tirapazamine will be given by intra-arterial injection before embolization. Treatment effect is evaluated by MRI based on mRECIST criteria. Repeat treatment is necessary only if disease progression. Dose escalation cohort has been completed. Expansion cohort is open for metastatic liver dominant neuroendocrine tumor.
High dose intravenous Methotrexate (HD-MTX) is the key drug in the treatment of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). HD-MTX is usually delivered with time interval ranging from 10 to 21 days. Reduction of injection time interval is limited by MTX renal excretion and systemic toxicity. Glucarpidase (CPG2) is a recombinant bacterial rescue enzyme that cleaves circulating MTX into inactive metabolites, reducing plasma MTX concentrations within few minutes. The research hypothesis is that CPG2 used after HD-MTX injection allows to reduce time interval between MTX injections, increase dose intensity of the chemotherapy, reduce systemic toxicity and duration of...
This is a multicenter, open-label phase I/II study, divided into 2 parts: Part 1 involves a dose-escalation study of ZG006 in which the safety and tolerability of ZG006 in patients with advanced small cell lung cancer or neuroendocrine carcinoma are explored. Upon completion of Part 1, investigators and the sponsor will discuss and determine two recommended phase II doses (RP2D) based on safety, preliminary efficacy, and pharmacokinetic (PK) results for use in Part 2. Part 2 is a phase II dose-expansion study of ZG006, aiming to investigate the efficacy and safety of ZG006 in patients with advanced small cell lung cancer.

The phase II study evaluate a light dose escalation in a classical intraoperative PDT regimen mediated by 5-ALA-PpIX, in glioblastoma patients with access to full surgical removal of the contrast enhancement. This treatment will be performed in addition to the current reference treatment of glioblastoma: maximum removal surgery followed by radiochemotherapy according to the Stupp protocol.
This study will investigate different doses of [177Lu]Lu-NeoB in combination with RT and TMZ in participants with newly diagnosed glioblastoma, with methylated or unmethylated promoter, to assess the safety and efficacy of [177Lu]Lu-NeoB in combination with the SoC and in recurrent glioblastoma as single agent, to identify the recommended dose and to also explore the safety of the PET imaging agent [68Ga]Ga-NeoB and characterize its uptake in the tumor area.
