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...
EGFR mutated NSCLC patiens with CNS metastases have poor prognosis. High-dose furmonertinib (160mg/day) have produced high CNS PFS and ORR in second-line for EGFR T790M mutated NSCLC. Whether EGFR mutated NSCLC with CNS metastases can benefit from first-line treatment of high-dose furmonertinib has not been reported. This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of high dose furmonertinib in first-line treatment of EGFR mutated NSCLC patiens.
The goal of this single-arm, prospective study is to learn if high dose gemcitabine, busulfan and thiotepa with autologous stem cell transplantation to treat primary or relapse central nervous system lymphomas. It will learn about the safety and efficacy of combination therapy. The main question it aims to answer is: Efficacy and safety of the combination of high dose gemcitabine, busulfan and thiotepa as a bridging therapy to ASCT in patients with CNSL. Participants will: Take gemcitabine (2.5 g/m²) was administered intravenously (IV) on Days -9 and -3, Busulfan (3.2 mg/kg) was given IV over 3 hours on Days -9 to -7, and thiotepa (5 mg/kg) was administered IV on Days -5,...
Retinoblastoma is the most common intraocular malignancy in infancy and childhood,with an estimated 8000 new cases globally each year.The major cause of failure in the management of retinoblastoma remains the persistence or recurrence of resistant vitreous seeding.Currently,with the emergence of new administration routes, intravitreal chemotherapy has been used for vitreous seeds and the rate of eye preservation has been effectively improved. However, the use of high doses of chemotherapeutic agents may lead to visual impairments due to long term retinal toxicity and some tumors recur or become resistant to chemotherapeutic agents after treatment. In such cases, ocular resection...
The purpose of this study is to determine whether high-intensity exercise and high-fiber diet are feasible and improve various health outcomes among participants with advanced melanoma receiving immunotherapy. The names of the groups in this research study are: - High-Intensity Exercise (EX) - High-fiber Diet (DT) - Combined High-Intensity Exercise and High-Fiber Diet (COMB) - Attention Control (AC)
