Filter by:Recent advances in technology have allowed for the detection of cell-free DNA (cfDNA). cfDNA is tumor DNA that can be found in the fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord (called cerebrospinal fluid or CSF) and in the blood of patients with brain tumors. The detection of cfDNA in blood and CSF is known as a "liquid biopsy" and is non-invasive, meaning it does not require a surgery or biopsy of tumor tissue. Multiple studies in other cancer types have shown that cfDNA can be used for diagnosis, to monitor disease response to treatment, and to understand the genetic changes that occur in brain tumors over time. Study doctors hope that by studying these tests in pediatric brain tumor patients, they will be able to use liquid biopsy in place of tests that have more risks for patients, like surgery. There is no treatment provided on this study. Patients who have CSF samples taken as part of regular care will be asked to provide extra samples for this study. The study doctor will collect a minimum of one extra tube of CSF (about 1 teaspoon or 5 mL) for this study. If the patients doctor thinks it is safe, up to 2 tubes of CSF (about 4 teaspoons or up to 20 mL) may be collected. CSF will be collected through the indwelling catheter device or through a needle inserted into the lower part of the patient's spine (known as a spinal tap or lumbar puncture). A required blood sample (about ½ a teaspoon or 2 3 mL) will be collected once at the start of the study. This sample will be used to help determine changes found in the CSF. Blood will be collected from the patient's central line or arm as a part of regular care. An optional tumor tissue if obtained within 8 weeks of CSF collection will be collected if available. Similarities between changes in the DNA of the tissue that has caused the tumor to form and grow with the cfDNA from CSF will be compared. This will help understand if CSF can be used instead of tumor tissue for diagnosis. Up to 300 people will take part in this study. This study will use genetic tests that may identify changes in the genes in the CSF. The report of the somatic mutations (the mutations that are found in the tumor only) will become part of the medical record. The results of the cfDNA sequencing will be shared with the patient. The study doctor will discuss what the results mean for the patient and patient's diagnosis and treatment. There will not be any germline sequencing results reported and these will not be disclosed to the patient, patient's clinician or be recorded in patient medical record. Patient may be monitored on this study for up to 5 years.
This study is a single center, open, single arm, dose increasing early clinical study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of YK0901 immunotherapy in the treatment of patients with advanced solid tumor whose tumor antigen KRAS G12V expression is positive (HLA-A * 11:01).
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, MTD and RP2D of LP-184 in patients with advanced solid tumors who have relapsed from or are refractory to standard therapy or for whom no standard therapy is available. The secondary objectives are to characterize the PK of LP-184 and its metabolites in plasma and assess clinical activity of LP-184.
This is a FIH, multicenter, open-label Phase I study to investigate the safety, tolerability, preliminary antitumor activity, as well as PK and pharmacodynamics of XL309 (previously ISM3091) administered alone or in combination with olaparib in subjects with advanced solid tumors.
This study will construct a longitudinal risk model of VaIN according to the HPVs distribution of cervix and vaginal for those had CIN2+. The study will include three arms to complete the follow-up data for the previous cohort constructed, and prospectively recruit new subjects with the appropriate inclusion/excluding criteria in order to increase sample size of this study.
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is the technique that has replaced surgery in the treatment of early neoplastic lesions of the stomach (LNPS). ESD of LNPS allows: a) less invasiveness compared to surgery; b) greater chances of "en bloc" resection and R0 resection compared to mucosectomy for lesions larger than 15 mm. Recent 2015 ESGE guidelines provide precise recommendations for the use of ESD in the treatment of LNPS, but Italy lacks prospective data on the efficacy and safety of ESD in a large sample of patients. A multicenter prospective observational study to create a database on the use of ESD in LNPS is essential to provide information regarding the efficacy and safety of ESD in Italy. This database would also provide information regarding the criteria applied in the use of ESD in the treatment of early gastric neoplasia
This is the study of 64Cu-FAPI-XT117, which is an prospective, single-arm phase I clinical study.
Capillary-venous paired data collection.
This study is a first-in-human, multicenter, open label, uncontrolled, non-randomized, phase 1a/1b study, to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary antitumor activity of NB002 in subjects with advanced solid tumors.
This phase II trial studies how well prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET) scans (in combination with bone scans) work in selecting patients for Ra-223 radiation therapy that have castration-resistant prostate cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to the bones (bone metastasis). Ra-223 is a type of therapy that emits radiation. Radiation gives off energy which can kill tumor cells and other cells that may support the tumor cells. Ra-223 is given by infusion into the veins, where it is absorbed by the bones. PSMA PET is a type of scan used to detect prostate cancer tumors. PSMA is a radioactive tracer that binds to a specific protein that is found on prostate tumor cells. The PSMA tracer shows the areas on the PET scan where tumor cells are active. A PET scan uses a special camera to detect the energy given off from radioactive tracers (such as PSMA) to make detailed pictures of areas where the tracer accumulates in the body. The PET scan is often combined with a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scan, which helps to map the locations where PSMA has accumulated. PSMA PET scans may be able to select patients that will benefit the most from Ra-223 treatment.
