This is a first in human dose escalation trial to determine the safety of administering GPC2 CAR T cells in patients with advanced neuroblastoma.
Introduction Rare complex syndromes Patients with complex genetic syndromes, by definition, have combined medical problems affecting multiple organ systems, and intellectual disability is often part of the syndrome. During childhood, patients with rare genetic syndromes receive multidisciplinary and specialized medical care; they usually receive medical care from 3-4 medical specialists. Increased life expectancy Although many genetic syndromes used to cause premature death, improvement of medical care has improved life expectancy. More and more patients are now reaching adult age, and the complexity of the syndrome persists into adulthood. However, until recently,...
The goal of this interventional treatment study is to assess the anxiolytic effect of providing guided meditation during radiation treatment (RT) in patients with brain tumors. The main question it aims to answer is: • What is the change in acute anxiety in participants receiving the mindfulness intervention during radiation therapy compared to standard of care control conditions? Participants will be asked to participate in a 5-minute, audio-recorded mindfulness practice that will be played during the administration of each RT session. Researchers will compare this intervention to standard of care (no intervention) during RT.
1. Background and Clinical Need: Delirium is common at the end of life and is challenging to control. There is a clinical need to study the benefits of commonly used drugs like Haloperidol and Olanzapine in the management of hyperactive delirium in advanced cancer or end-stage organ disease patients in a scientifically robust manner. 2. Aims/Hypotheses: The investigators aim to study the effectiveness of Haloperidol compared with Olanzapine in the management of hyperactive delirium in advanced cancer or end-stage organ disease patients receiving palliative care. The investigators hypothesise that Olanzapine is as effective as...
Cholecystokinin-2 (CCK2) receptor is overexpressed in more than 90% of MTC cases, and preclinical studies have shown that 68Ga-MGS5 (targeting CCK2) has good stability in vivo and is promising for diagnosis and staging of MTC. This prospective study will compare the diagnostic effects of 68Ga-MGS5 and 68Ga-DOTATATE on MTC primary foci, lymph node metastasis, and distant metastasis, and explore the effect of 68Ga-MGS5 PET/CT on the clinical staging (TNM staging) of MTC.
This is a Phase I study to evaluate the safety profile of a type of immune therapy called HER2 CAR T cells (short for HER2 chimeric antigen receptor T cells). In addition to looking for side effects, we will study how well this treatment works against a brain tumor called ependymoma that has come back after treatment (recurrent) or has not responded well to treatment (progressive) in children. The HER2 CAR T cells used in this trial are made from the patient's own blood. A new gene, called the HER2 CAR, will be inserted into patient's T cells to allow them recognize a protein on the tumor called HER2. These HER2-specific CAR T cells may be able to target and kill ependymoma...
In this study, the investigators are examining the role of the immune system in pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma. The investigators aim to examine the differences in the immune system between people who have these tumors with and without a hereditary predisposition. The investigators also want to see how the immune system changes during the development of the tumor in people with a hereditary predisposition. Finally, the investigators will compare the data with a control group of people without these tumors. Ultimately, the investigators hope that the results will contribute to the discovery of new immune system-targeted medications for pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if hetrombopag promotes platelet engraftment in neuroblastoma children undergoing autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The main question it aims to answer is: · Does drug hetrombopag promote platelet engraftment? Participants will take hetrombopag every day for 6 weeks or until platelet > 100*10^9/L.
The Hamlet.rt study is a prospective data collection and patient questionnaire study for patients undergoing image-guided radiotherapy with curative intent. The aim of the study is to use novel machine learning and mathematical techniques to build a model that can predict the risk of significant side effects from radiotherapy treatment for an individual patient: using calculations of normal tissue dose from radiotherapy treatment planning and patient baseline characteristics derived from image and non-image data, continuously updated as the patient is reviewed both during and after treatment. A secondary goal of the project is to facilitate research in machine learning and...
This is a restrospective study to establish a deep learning model based on multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging scans to predict Grade, histopathologic type and genotype of adult diffuse Glioma.
