The purpose of this study is to find out if performing additional Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) scans of the subjects' brain during each week of the radiation treatment of their high-grade glioma will help improve the radiation treatment.
A recent clinical trial found that after 36 months, patients taking tebentafusp had a median survival of 21.6 months, compared to 16.9 months for those in the control group. Since recruitment for tebentafusp in metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM) has ended, a new trial is starting to test whether adding IL-2 can help overcome resistance to tebentafusp and improve its effectiveness. This study aims to answer: 1. Can combining tebentafusp with IL-2 improve tumor response and overall survival? 2. What are the benefits and side effects of this combination therapy? All participants will receive both IL-2 and tebentafusp in a 28-day treatment cycle. The dosing schedule is as...
To explore the efficacy of adding anti-GD2 immunotherapy (Naxitamab) at the stage of induction chemotherapy for newly diagnosed high risk neuroblastoma patients. To investigate wether anding Naxitamab in the induction phase will improve the response rate at the end of induction therapy and further improve the overall survival rate.
The goal of this screening study is to determine the feasibility of completing a social needs screening tool in participants who have a past or current cancer diagnosis and reside in Metro Detroit, Michigan. Main questions to answer are: - Can we have a completion rate of at least 80% of participants filling out the screening tool? - Can we determine procedures for patient referrals based on social needs - Can we implement brief interventions based on food access and digital inclusion (ensuring everyone has access to the digital technologies they need to participate in society)
Some studies have shown that approximately 15% of patients with advanced hormone receptor (HR) positive breast cancer and 1/3 of triple negative breast cancer will develop brain metastasis. At present, there is no unified drug treatment standard for HER2-negative breast cancer brain metastasis (BCBM). The evidence of single traditional chemotherapy drug as the main treatment of brain metastasis is not sufficient. Some exploratory studies on HER2-negative BCBM have shown that the central nervous system objective response rate (CNS-ORR) of anti-angiogenic drugs combined with chemotherapy is around 55%-80%。 Adebrelimab (a humanized PD-L1 monoclonal antibody) specifically blocks...
The primary goal of this Phase I study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of oncolytic adenovirus mediated double suicide-gene therapy in combination with fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery in patients with recurrent high-grade astrocytoma undergoing resection.
This clinical trial tests how well a digital treatment platform using a mobile application works for the delivery of home-based sequential therapy in patients with glioma. Access to specialized neuro-oncology care in the United States for patients with glioma is critically deficient. Care at centers with neuro-oncology specialists is associated with improved survival outcomes, yet many patients have limited access due to distance, disease-related disability, or lack of financial resources. The application provides patients continuous access to their care team in the home setting. A digital treatment platform may increase clinical trial participation and accelerate development of...
Most patients being diagnosed with primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the central nervous system (PCNSL) are 60 years or older. Elderly patients with PCNSL have a poor prognosis and there is a great medical need to improve outcome for this vulnerable population. In Germany and many international centres, there are currently two widely used strategies to treat elderly PCNSL patients who are eligible for high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) treatment, which have not yet been compared head-to-head. The R-MP regimen has been established by the Cooperative PCNSL Study Group as a "conventional" immunochemotherapy standard treatment for elderly patients with newly diagnosed disease and...
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of 3 cycles of chemotherapy(CEV) in the treatment of Stage I enucleated retinoblastoma.
This clinical trial tests the safety and effectiveness of hypofractionated stereotactic radiosurgery for treating patients who have undergone surgical resection for grade II meningiomas or grade I meningiomas that have come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Stereotactic radiosurgery is a type of external radiation therapy that uses special equipment to position a patient and precisely deliver radiation to tumors in the body. Hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may kill more tumor...
