The goal of this study is to observe metabolic features associated with human melanoma tumors.
Only 20% of familial uveal melanomas are explained by a hereditary predisposition, implying the presence of as yet unknown hereditary predispositions. This hypothesis is reinforced by epidemiological studies revealing an excess risk of prostate cancer, thyroid cancer and leukemia in patients who have developed uveal melanoma, even though these cancers are not part of the tumor spectrum of known hereditary predispositions to uveal melanoma (BAP1, MBD4). The identification of new candidate genes, once validated, would enable us to offer these families appropriate surveillance.
Neuroblastoma is an early childhood embryonic malignancy that originates from neural crest cells. Neuroblastoma shows high heterogeneity in biological, morphological, genetic, and clinical features. At present, the main treatment methods for neuroblastoma are surgical treatment combined with chemotherapy after the operation and immunological therapy. However， clinical studies have found that 40%～50% of patients don't have good outcomes after postoperative chemotherapy. The clinical trial study aims to screen the genotype of children with neuroblastoma and conduct an in-depth analysis of sequencing data and tumor-specific transcripts by using technologies--Deep Sequencing...
The primary objective of this study is the identification of environmental and genetic factors involved in the risk and progression of melanoma in children, adolescents and young adults (CAYA). The secondary objectives are to generate a model integrating the genetic and environmental factors to estimate the risk of developing melanoma and improve the primary prevention of melanoma through evidence-based interpretation of environmental risk.
HER2 gene amplification, detected in 20% to 30% of breast cancers, was a poor prognostic factor before the advent of anti-HER2 therapies. In the early 2000s, trastuzumab revolutionised the management of patients with HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer in the metastatic and localised stages of the disease. At the time of diagnosis of metastatic disease, 7-11% of patients have brain metastases, with (70% of cases) or without symptoms (30% of cases). In the absence of brain metastases, 30% to 50% of patients will develop brain metastases within the first two years of treatment, depending on whether the disease is hormone receptor positive (HR+) or negative (HR-). The presence...
This early phase I trial tests brain concentration level and safety of defactinib or VS-6766 for the treatment of patients with glioblastoma. Recently, two new drugs that seem to work together have been shown to have promising treatment effects in tissue culture and animal models of glioblastoma. Each inhibits a different glioblastoma growth pathway and when used together may create a larger effect on tumor growth than either alone. Growth pathway describes a series of chemical reactions in which a group of molecules in a cell work together to control cell growth. It is known that glioblastoma tumor cells can grow because of lack of regulation. Both Pyk2 and the closely...
This phase II trial studies whether different imaging techniques can provide additional and more accurate information than the usual approach for assessing the activity of tumors in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. The usual approach for this currently is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This study is trying to learn more about the meaning of changes in MRI scans after treatment, as while the appearance of some of these changes may reflect progressing tumor, some may be due the treatment. Dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC)-MRIs, along with positron emission tomography (PET) and/or magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy, may help doctors tell which changes are...
observation of IDH1 and OCT4 markers level and high grade astrocytoma patients prognosis after excision.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and how well IL13Ralpha2-CAR T cells work when given alone or together with nivolumab and ipilimumab in treating patients with glioblastoma that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Biological therapies, such as IL13Ralpha2-CAR T cells, use substances made from living organisms that may attack specific glioma cells and stop them from growing or kill them. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known whether giving IL13Ralpha2-CAR...
This is a dose exploration clinical trial to assess the safety and feasibility of the IL13Ra2-targeted CAR-T in glioma.
