Filter by:The purpose of this phase 2 study is to assess the feasibility and efficacy of neoadjuvant immunotherapy in patients with previously untreated, surgically-resectable, solid tumor brain metastases. The primary objectives of this study are to 1) assess the feasibility of neoadjuvant ipilimumab and nivolumab treatment before surgery and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in patients with solid tumor brain metastases as measured by the proportion of patients who have their surgery delayed or surgery never occurs, and 2) demonstrate that neoadjuvant immunotherapy will increase proliferation of circulating T-cells compared to baseline measurements. Exploratory objectives include describing patient progression free survival and overall survival, time to local and distant intracranial progression, and the rate of radiation necrosis. The rate of radionecrosis will also be explored, as immune expression profiles.
This study will evaluate the clinical response and safety of cone beam computed-tomography guided percutaneous cryoablation in bone metastases from thyroid, adrenal and neuroendocrine tumors in 30 patients.
Brain metastases (BM) are the most prevalent tumors of the central nervous system (CNS), with a ratio of 10: 1 in relation to primary tumors. In prospective studies, whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) reduced the risk of local recurrence after resection of brain metastases from 46-59% to 10-28%. Furthermore, WBRT reduces the incidence of new metastases and death from disease, but no apparent improvement in overall survival (OS). Due to the potential neurocognitive effects associated with WBRT compared to isolated focal approach, several authors have suggested delaying WBRT and perform focal adjuvant RT after resection of isolated BM. In this context, intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) in the cavity after resection of BM may be an appealing option. The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate local control (LC) and the control of brain disease (LC associated with the absence of new distant BM) after IORT for one completely resected supratentorial BM in the presence of up to 10 lesions suggestive of BM.
This is a Phase 1 study of E6201 plus dabrafenib for the treatment of CNS metastases in BRAF V600-mutated metastatic melanoma. A total of up to N=28-34 subjects with melanoma metastasized to the CNS will be included.
Reflexion on the therapeutic strategies to implement in patients at the end of life is advancing rapidly in France. However, beyond the choices presented to patients, sometimes even the decision to carry on, to limit or to stop treatments is also questioned. This decision is subjective; it is influenced by the patient's representation system (emotions, beliefs, values, practices, etc). In addition, even though he or she is the focus of the decision, the patient is not alone; other actors, accompanying the patient, play an important role in the final decision making. These actors, namely the doctors and close relatives, are also influenced in their decision making. This coexistence of representation systems may interfere with objective indicators that help in decision making (functional, clinical and biological) or with the knowledge acquired by doctors in their training and may complicate the decision-making process.
Children with a neuroblastoma diagnose and central nervous system (CNS)/leptomeningeal metastases will be given up to 2 rounds of intracerebroventricular treatment with a radiolabelled monoclonal antibody, 131I-omburtamab to evaluate efficacy and safety
Estimation of the concordance of Tc 99m localization in liver metastases from colorectal carcinoma using SPECT/CT imaging and abdominal FDG (PET)/CT imaging per subject.
During this open label study patients will receive IMM-101 in conjunction with a recognised standard of care for metastatic or unresectable cancer for the patient's specific tumour type. The primary objective of the study is to provide safety data for IMM-101 in combination with a number of selected standard of care regimens.
This pilot clinical trial compares gadobutrol with standard of care contrast agents, gadopentetate dimeglumine or gadobenate dimeglumine, before dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing patients with multiple sclerosis, grade II-IV glioma, or tumors that have spread to the brain. Gadobutrol is a type of contrast agent that may increase DCE-MRI sensitivity for the detection of tumors or other diseases of the central nervous system. It is not yet known whether gadobutrol is more effective than standard of care contrast agents before DCE-MRI in diagnosing patients with multiple sclerosis, grade II-IV glioma, or tumors that have spread to the brain.
This pilot clinical trial studies the side effects of anti-ESO (cancer/test antigen) murine T-cell receptor (mTCR)-transduced autologous peripheral blood lymphocytes and combination chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine phosphate in treating patients with cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) and expresses the gene NY-ESO-1. Donor white blood cells that are treated in the laboratory with anti-cluster of differentiation (CD)3 may help treat metastatic cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide and fludarabine phosphate, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more cancer cells. Aldesleukin may stimulate white blood cells, including natural killer cells, to kill metastatic cancer cells. Giving anti-ESO (cancer/test antigen) mTCR-transduced autologous peripheral blood lymphocytes together with combination chemotherapy and aldesleukin may kill more cancer cells.
