This phase I trial tests the safety and effectiveness of 18F-TRX in detecting tumors (cancer) patients with solid tumors. 18F-TRX is an imaging tracer that is used to visualize tumors using a PET scan. It specifically targets and detects labile (unstable) iron levels within tissues, including tumors. Diagnostic procedures, such as 18F-TRX PET/CT or PET/MRI, may help detect tumors in patients with solid tumors
This is an open-labelled single arm trial of pembrolizumab and imatinib mesylate in subjects with unresectable or metastatic KIT-mutant melanoma that are refractory to standard therapy. The phase Ib and II study will be conducted to evaluate the safety, tolerability and response rate data of this combination therapy. KIT-mutant tumors will be confirmed in previously biopsied tumors. This analysis will be done by next-generation sequencing.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have revolutionized cancer treatment and are now approved for various types of cancer. The most common side effects of ICI are immune-related adverse events which can affect any organ or system in the body. Recently, concerns have also risen about cardiovascular effects of ICI. Retrospective studies showed an 4-5 times increased risk of developing an arterial thromboembolic event. The mechanisms driving the ICI-associated risks of arterial thromboembolic events such as myocardial infarction and stroke, are unclear. Since the risk of a thromboembolism appears to be increased already during the first months after initiation of ICI, immune-related...
This is an open-label, single-arm, phase I/II trial of immune checkpoint inhibitor combined with pemetrexed intrathecal injection for leptomeningeal metastasis from solid tumors.
The primary objective of the study aims to compare the immune profiles (circulating cytokines and lymphocytes) before and after (6 to 8 weeks) the first infusion of immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with melanoma treated in the adjuvant setting(cohort A) or in metastatic setting(cohort B); and to study the association of these immune profiles with relapse- or progression-free survival.
This is a prospective multicenter clinical study. This study aims to construct an auxiliary decision-making system for lung cancer immunotherapy combined with radiotherapy by fusing three modes of imagomics, clinicopathological features, and molecular pathological features.
The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy of immunoadsorption therapy (IA) on improving the neurological status of severe pediatric anti-NMDAR encephalitis patients.
Checkpoint inhibitor such as anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1 are known to block inhibitory signals and increase the immune antimutoral response. Nivolumab and Ipilimumab association is considered as a more efficient immunotherapy to treat advanced melanoma. This combined immunotherapy is also responsible of severe immunes toxicyties. Identification of predictives biomarqueurs remains a challenge to predict the balance between tolerability and efficency. Previous data showed that advanced melanoma patient had lower level of Th1 cytokines that predict a less efficient immune system than healthy donors. The second point was that high level of Th1 and Th17 cytokines were correlate to a...
This study aims to investigate 68Ga-MY6349, an immune-PET tracer targeting trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (Trop2), for the noninvasive diagnosis of craniopharyngioma in vivo.
Immunotherapy has become the standard of care in different advanced malignancies. Its effectiveness in the palliative setting was demonstrated by several phase III trials. However, the response rate varies according to the cancer under study and to the line of treatment. A potential way to improve the activity of single agent immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is to enhance the clinical response through further antitumor agents, including radiotherapy. Studies showed that carbon ions may lead to a broader immunogenic response; for their dosimetric characteristics it is possible to reduce integral dose sparing immune cells to direct and sustain a tumor specific immune...
