In the preoperative waiting area, the patients are randomly assigned and divided into two groups according to the allocation sequence table (corresponding to 1:1 randomization) generated by the computer. The propofol group was both induced and maintained at an effect-site concentration (Ce) of 2.0-4.0 mcg/mL by a target-controlled infusion (TCI) system. The sevoflurane group was maintained via sevoflurane vaporizer between 1% and 3% (target minimum alveolar concentration of 0.7-1.3). The following patient data were recorded, the type of anesthesia, sex, age at the time of surgery, preoperative Karnofsky performance status (KPS) score...
The aim of this trial is to determine preliminary activity of the combination treatment with nivolumab and entinostat in children and adolescents with high risk refractory/relapsed/progressive tumors harboring a high mutational load, focal MYC(N) amplification or ATRT-MYC subgroup as well as tumors with high tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) or a tertiary lymphoid structure (TLS).
This study seeks to determine the optimum dose frequency of 5-Azacytidin (5-AZA) infusions into the fourth ventricle of the brain. The study's primary objective is to establish the maximum tolerated dose for infusions of 5-Azacytidine into the fourth ventricle in patients with recurrent ependymoma. The study's secondary objective is to assess the antitumor activity of 5-Azacytidine infusions into the fourth ventricle based upon imaging studies and cytology.
The purpose of this study is to establish the safety of infusions of panobinostat (MTX110) into the fourth ventricle of the brain or tumor resection cavity in patients with recurrent medulloblastoma and to assess the antitumor activity of simultaneous infusions of panobinostat (MTX110) into the fourth ventricle of the brain or resection cavity in patients with recurrent medulloblastoma based upon MRI scans and lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytology.
This is a multi-arm phase II platform-basket screening study designed to test multiple experimental therapies simultaneously in patients with NF2-related schwannomatosis (NF2-SWN, formerly known as neurofibromatosis type 2) with associated progressive tumors of vestibular schwannomas (VS), non-vestibular schwannomas (non-VS), meningiomas, and ependymomas. This Master Study is being conducted as a "basket" study that may allow people with multiple tumor types associated with NF2-SWN to receive new drugs throughout this study. Embedded within the Master Study are individual drug substudies. - Investigational Drug Sub-study A:...
This phase III trial studies whether inotuzumab ozogamicin added to post-induction chemotherapy for patients with High-Risk B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) improves outcomes. This trial also studies the outcomes of patients with mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), and B-lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LLy) when treated with ALL therapy without inotuzumab ozogamicin. Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody, called inotuzumab, linked to a type of chemotherapy called calicheamicin. Inotuzumab attaches to cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers calicheamicin to kill them. Other drugs used in the chemotherapy regimen,...
This phase I trial evaluates the side effects of radio-immunotherapy (CDX-301, radiotherapy, CDX-1140 and Poly-ICLC) in treating patients with unresectable and measurable metastatic melanoma, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), Merkel cell carcinoma, high-grade bone and soft tissue sarcoma or HER2/neu(-) breast cancer. CDX-301 may induce cross-presenting dendritic cells, master regulators in the immune system. Radiation therapy uses high energy to kill tumor cells and release antigens that may be picked up, processed and presented by cross-presenting dendritic cells. CDX-1140 and Poly-ICLC may activate tumor ...
The iCaRe2 is a multi-institutional resource created and maintained by the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center to collect and manage standardized, multi-dimensional, longitudinal data and biospecimens on consented adult cancer patients, high-risk individuals, and normal controls. The distinct characteristic of the iCaRe2 is its geographical coverage, with a significant percentage of small and rural hospitals and cancer centers. The iCaRe2 advances comprehensive studies of risk factors of cancer development and progression and enables the design of novel strategies for prevention, screening, early detection and personalized treatment...
Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMR) is used in pediatric brain tumors for purposes of diagnosis, evaluation of response to treatments, and monitoring of patients in follow-up. Through conventional imaging techniques it remains difficult to differentiate tumor recurrence from pseudo-progression or other iatrogenic changes after radiotherapy or chemotherapy, but it remains a relevant and essential clinical need for patient management.
