Utilization of T2* MRI in predicting prognosis in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM)
Bone tumors make up about 3-5% of childhood cancers and less than 1% of cancers in adults. Of these, osteosarcoma (OSS) is the most commonly diagnosed primary malignant bone tumor. OSS is a primary mesenchymal malignant tumor of bone characterized by the production of osteoid or immature bone by the malignant cells. Despite its rarity, OSS is the most common primary malignancy of bone in children and adolescents, and the fifth most common malignancy among adolescents and young adults aged 15 to 19 years. Ewing sarcoma (ES) is the second most frequent bone tumors in children and may arise also in soft tissues. This disease encompasses tumors formerly known as Askin's tumor, Peripheral Neuroectodermal Tumor (PNET) and the Ewing Sarcoma Family of Tumors (ESFT). Chondrosarcoma are rare sarcoma reputed chemorefractory in the non-operable setting and for which little is known in terms of palliative management with systemic treatments. Despite adequate loco-regional treatment, up to 40% of patients with sarcoma, soft tissue or bone, will develop metastatic disease. When metastases are detected, the standard of care is based on palliative chemotherapy with a median survival in this setting of only 18 months. A slight improvement has been obtained over years thank to registration of a couple of drugs such as Trabectedin and Pazopanib, the first antiangiogenic registered for soft tissue sarcoma patients. Pazopanib is routinely prescribed worldwide after failure of first line chemotherapy in soft tissue sarcoma. However, bone tumors have not benefited from these small advances yet and treatment still rely on chemotherapy combining doxorubicine cisplatinum and ifosfamide. There is no standard in relapse and palliative settings, and after failure of these agents the survival is very poor. Bone sarcomas are therefore tumors with very little available data and low level of evidence on palliative systemic treatments in clinical trials and in the real life setting. The primary objective of the METABONE study is to conduct a retrospective descriptive analysis of clinic-biological profiles, patterns of care and modalities of treatment for a set of patients with malignant bone tumors in a real-life national setting.
The goal of this clinical research study is to determine whether it is safe and practical to give CK0801 (a Cord blood-derived T-regulatory cell product) to patients with bone marrow failure syndrome. Researchers want to determine the highest possible dose that is safe to be given. Researchers also want to learn if CK0801 may improve the symptoms of bone marrow failure syndrome. Patients enrolled in this study will all have been diagnosed with treatment refractory bone marrow failure syndrome (which includes aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or myelofibrosis). Participants eligible to participate in this study are unable or unwilling to be treated with standard therapy or have failed standard therapy.
Bone metastases are common in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). They most often occur during disease progression. It is thought that more than half of the patients with bone metastases will have at least 1 skeletal-related event (SRE, i.e. pathological fractures, medullary compression, analgesic radiotherapy, preventive and/or analgesic surgery and hypercalcemia). Expert and medical Society guidelines, notably European Society for Medical Oncology in 2014, then in 2016, recommended using anti-resorptive agents (bisphosphonates or denosumab) to prevent SREs, attenuate pain and improve the quality of life, and decrease the medical-economic impact of this major metastatic site. Denosumab was accorded marketing authorization in France in 2011 as an anti-resorptive agent for bone metastases to delay the occurrence of SREs in lung-cancer patients. Immunotherapy, notably immune-checkpoint inhibitors, like nivolumab (anti-programed death-1), has recently become an integral part of the therapeutic arsenal against NSCLCs. Nivolumab was accorded marketing authorization based on the phase III CHECKMATE 017 (squamous cell NSCLCs) and CHECKMATE 057 (non-squamous cell NSCLCs) trials versus docetaxel, after the phase II CHECKMATE 063 trial. The denosumab-nivolumab combination is commonly used in current practice but has not been evaluated prospectively. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the combination of denosumab and nivolumab in second line of NSCLC with bone metastases.
Patients who have been diagnosed with Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy will be asked to undergo an MRI using diffusion basis spectrum imaging (DBSI) technology. The patients will have this MRI preoperatively and at 24 months postop. The investigators believe that with this imaging, biomarkers will be able to be seen to assist in prediction of long term outcomes in patients with spinal cord compression. These patients will be compared to healthy cohorts who will also undergo an MRI using the DBSI technology.
This is a prospective, multicentre, open-label, phase I/II study to evaluate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and the most successful dose (MSD) of XOFIGO®, in renal cancer patients with metastases to bone, without (Group A) or with (Group B) visceral metastases.
This randomized phase III trial studies how well combination chemotherapy with or without ganitumab works in treating patients with newly diagnosed Ewing sarcoma that has spread to other parts of the body. Treatment with drugs that block the IGF-1R pathway, such as ganitumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vincristine, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, ifosfamide, and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether adding ganitumab to combination chemotherapy is more effective in treating patients with newly diagnosed metastatic Ewing sarcoma.
Phase 1 Part (Complete): Open-label, sequential dose escalation study of pelabresib in patients with previously treated Acute Leukemia, Myelodysplastic Syndrome, Myelodysplastic/Myeloproliferative Neoplasms, and Myelofibrosis. Phase 2 Part: Open-label study of CPI-0610 with and without Ruxolitinib in patients with Myelofibrosis. CPI-0610 is a small molecule inhibitor of bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) proteins.
The purpose of the study is to determine the optimal surgical approach (ventral vs dorsal) for patients with multi-level cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). There are no established guidelines for the management of patients with CSM, which represents the most common cause of spinal cord injury and dysfunction in the US and in the world. This study aims to test the hypothesis that ventral surgery is associated with superior Short Form-36 physical component Score (SF-36 PCS) outcome at one year follow-up compared to dorsal approaches and that both ventral and dorsal surgery improve symptoms of spinal cord dysfunction measured using the modified Japanese Orthopedic Association Score (mJOA). A secondary hypothesis is that health resource utilization for ventral surgery, dorsal fusion, and laminoplasty surgery are different. A third hypothesis is that cervical sagittal balance post-operatively is a significant predictor of SF-36 PCS outcome.
