The INTERACT study is a nation-wide, population-based randomized controlled trial to investigate the effects of 6-month integrative neuromuscular training during anti-cancer treatment on lower body muscle strength, metabolic syndrome, various measures of physical function, physical activity, days of hospitalization, health-related quality of life and health behavior in children and adolescents with cancer. The increased insight derived from this study will impact the development of pediatric exercise oncology and be of high relevance to a broad group of children and adolescents with severe chronic illness. The study is based on the...
This phase II trial studies how well intensity-modulated stereotactic radiation therapy works in treating patients with grade II-IV glioma. Stereotactic radiosurgery is a specialized radiation therapy that delivers a single, high dose of radiation directly to the tumor and may cause less damage to normal tissue.
This trial studies how well an interactive survivorship program works in improving healthcare resources in adolescent and young adult cancer survivors. By improving access to survivorship resources, health literacy, self-management skills, and support, an interactive survivorship program may help to improve adherence to adolescent and young adult healthcare guidelines and reduce cancer-related distress.
To our knowledge, the investigators have not found any scientific article dealing with cooperation between radiation oncologists and medical radiation technologists in the context of monitoring patients undergoing radiotherapy. Cooperation protocols between health professionals are in progress but concern mainly technical procedures (ultrasound, laserthermal sessions). This study aims to evaluate whether MERMs, after training by physicians, can monitor clinical signs (for usual well-described toxicities) during treatment via a dedicated consultation. This approach participates in the development of new professions and cooperation...
This is an interventional mono-centric study in patients with BRAF mutated metastatic melanoma treated with BRAF/MEK inhibitors. The aim of the study is to test the grafting of patient tumoral cells in avian embryo and develop a predictive in vivo model for patient treatment response.
The objective of this study is to assess whether FDG (18F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose fluorodeoxyglucose) PET-CT could be an early predictive method of therapeutic response to anti-PD-1 immunotherapy in metastatic melanoma after 2 cycles of ANTI-PD1. 20 patients will be enrolled and undergo three PET/CT scans: a baseline PET-CT, an early research PET-CT after 2 cycles of anti-PD1 (PET1) and a PET-CT at 3 months of initiation of treatment. Treatment response on FDG PET-CT will be assessed according to PERCIST criteria.
Patients may be considered if the cancer has come back, has not gone away after standard treatment or the patient cannot receive standard treatment. This research study uses special immune system cells called CATCH T cells, a new experimental treatment. The body has different ways of fighting infection and disease. No single way seems perfect for fighting cancers. This research study combines two different ways of fighting cancer: antibodies and T cells. Antibodies are types of proteins that protect the body from infectious diseases and possibly cancer. T cells, also called T lymphocytes, are special infection-fighting blood cells...

The study will evaluate how safe the study drug is, how well you tolerate it, and how it works in the body and the disease's response to the drug. The study drug being tested is sarilumab, when given with the combination of ipilimumab, nivolumab, and relatlimab in patients with stage III or stage IV melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery. Previous studies have provided a strong rationale for combining sarilumab, with ipilimumab, nivolumab and relatlimab in metastatic melanoma to reduce side effects and potentially work better for this type of cancer. Sarilumab is an FDA-approved inhibitor of the receptor for the cytokine IL-6,...
Central nervous system (CNS) relapse is a devastating event of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). It occurs in 4%-7% of DLBCL in general and the rate is considerably higher in high-risk patients, resulting in a poor outcome.Effective methods of CNS prophylaxis have not yet been developed. Evidence for intrathecal or intravenous MTX are both controversial. In one previous study of PUMCH, IV MTX at a dose of 1g/m2 could significantly decrease the 2 year CNS relapse rate of high risk DLBCL(1.1% vs 12.1% for historic cohort, P=0.003). In current study, the investigators are aiming to confirm its efficacy through phase III study with...
