Filter by:BDTX-4933-101 is a first-in-human, open-label, Phase 1 dose escalation and an expansion cohort study designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability, maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the preliminary recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), and antitumor activity of BDTX-4933. The study population for the Dose Escalation part of the study comprises adults with recurrent advanced/metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring KRAS non-G12C mutations or BRAF mutations, advanced/metastatic melanoma harboring BRAF or NRAS mutations, histiocytic neoplasms harboring BRAF or NRAS mutations, and other solid tumors harboring BRAF mutations. The study population for the Dose Expansion part of the study comprises adults with recurrent advanced/metastatic NSCLC harboring KRAS non-G12C mutations. All patients will self-administer BDTX-4933 orally in 28-day cycles until disease progression, toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or termination of the study.
This study was a single-arm, open-label, phase II study of breast cancer patients with brain metastases. Eligible patients received a regimen of eutidrone(30mg/m2/d,iv,d1-5,21d/cycle), etoposide(30mg/m2/d,iv,d1-3,21d/cycle), and bevacizumab (10mg/kg,d1,21d/cycle).At least 4 to 6 cycles were administered, and if patients had a response or stable disease, bevacizumab was used as maintenance therapy until disease progression or intolerable toxicity.
Aim: Investigate whether patients undergoing specialist rehabilitation after complex neurological injury show different functional outcomes if music therapy is included in their rehabilitation program compared to usual care. Background: Patients with complex needs following a brain, spinal cord, and/or peripheral nerve injury often require a period of specialist neurorehabilitation. This involves multiple therapy disciplines, led by a Consultant in Rehabilitation Medicine, Neurology, or Neuropsychiatry. Although music therapy is suggested to enhance neuroplasticity and recovery in patients with brain injury, it is not routinely commissioned in clinical care due to a lack of supportive evidence. Hypothesis: Patients undergoing music therapy in addition to complex specialist rehabilitation show better functional outcomes compared to usual care. Number of participants: 75, aged 16-80 years. Methods: Patients undergo baseline assessments and are randomised to MUSIC or CONTROL Therapy. Both arms receive 1-3 additional therapy sessions per week, matched for duration and number, total 15 hours. After approximately 10-weeks intervention, assessments are repeated. All participants then have access to music therapy until they are discharged from Neurorehabilitation Unit (NRU), with additional qualitative data collection using semi-structured interviews, field notes, staff reports, staff stress surveys, and broader ecological observations. Duration for Participants: From consent to discharge from NRU. Primary Outcome: Change in Functional Independence Measure+Functional Assessment Measure (FIM+FAM), Northwick Park Dependency Scale (NWPDS), and Barthel Activities of Daily Living pre and post 15 hours intervention. Secondary Outcome: Change in quality of life (Flourishing Scale), psychological distress (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Depression Intensity Scale Circles), social interaction (Sickness Impact Profile Social Interaction Subscale), well-being (WHO Well-Being Index), and communication (Communication Outcomes After Stroke Scale), pre and post 15 hours intervention. Mean difference in well-being (WHO Well-Being Index) throughout the intervention period between music therapy and control therapy groups. Mean difference in post-intervention pain and mood visual analogue scores between music therapy and control therapy groups.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test augmented reality (AR) based neuronavigation system in surgeries for patients of brain neoplasm or cerebral vascular disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: • AR based neuronavigation system can achieve accuracy that is not inferior to conventional intraoperative navigation system. Participants will participate the study after informed consent. When participants undergo surgery for their brain tumor, we will set up 2 types of neuronavigation, conventional navigation system and developed AR based neuronavigation system. Surgeon will plan and conduct surgery based on only conventional navigation system, but 3D errors at several selected points between two types of navigation will be measured and analyzed.
This study aims to assess the diagnostic performance of a new fast MRI sequence named Neuromix compared to routine clinical MRI for brain tumor in pediatric patients
Gliomas are the most frequent type of primary brain tumors in adults; among them glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most malignant, being associated with the worst prognosis. Glutamate (Glu) is an aminoacid, responsible for essential functions in the Central Nervous System (CNS), acting both as metabolite and neurotransmitter. It is essential for regulating cellular metabolism and developmental synaptogenesis, cellular migration, differentiation and death. Recent scientific evidences have demonstrated alteration in Glu synthesis and signaling being directly involved in GBM growth and invasion
This clinical trial is looking at a drug called entrectinib. Entrectinib is approved as standard of care treatment for adult patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) which have a particular molecular alteration called ROS1-positive, and patients 12 years of age or older with solid tumours which have another type of change in the cancer cells. This means it has gone through clinical trials and been approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the UK. Investigators now wish to find out if it will be useful in treating patients with other cancer types which have the same molecular alteration (ROS1-positive). If the results are positive, the study team will work with the NHS and the Cancer Drugs Fund to see if these drugs can be routinely accessed for patients in the future. This trial is part of a trial programme called DETERMINE. The programme will also look at other anti-cancer drugs in the same way, through matching the drug to rare cancer types or ones with specific mutations.
This study aimed to evaluate the use of SHR-A1811 in HER2-expression Advanced Breast Cancer patients with brain metastases.
This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical study of NSCLC patients with intracranial oligo-metastatic EGFR-sensitive mutations treated with EGFR-TKI Almonertinib , according to the implementation time of brain radiotherapy. Patients were randomly divided into two groups, experimental group (early intervention group of brain radiotherapy) : the brain radiotherapy started within 1 month of TKI treatment, the brain radiotherapy here specifically refers to stereotactic radiotherapy; Control group (brain radiotherapy late intervention group) : Brain radiotherapy was given within 3 months after brain progression during TKI treatment. The differences in OS,iPFS, PFS, iORR, safety, neurocognitive function and quality of life between the two groups were compared.
Introduction: Scalp incision is a powerful nociceptive stimulus that can exacerbate rapid changes in hemodynamic and sympathetic activity. Management of hemodynamic stability is essential in neuro-anesthesia and can be challenging among neurosurgery anesthesiologists. Neurosurgery operations include steps with a lot of painful stimuli such as intubation, insertion of a head-pinning, and craniotomy. A good anesthetic technique can improve hemodynamic responses by reducing the incidence of complications such as intracranial hypertension, bleeding, and longer recovery time. Routine analgesic approach in the intraoperative and postoperative period of supratentorial craniotomy includes the routine use of paracetamol, opioids, scalp nerve block with proven effectiveness, and intravenous ibuprofen, which gives good results by reducing opioid doses in moderate-to-severe pain. Supratentorial craniotomy surgery, which requires tight hemodynamic control, needs effective analgesic methods. Trial design: It is a prospective, randomized controlled, consisting of factorial groups, double-blind study. Participants: This study will be carried out at Ankara University Faculty of Medicine İbni Sina Hospital (Altındağ, Ankara, Turkey) between November 2022 and February 2023. One hundred and two ASA I-III patients with a body mass index (BMI) below 30, aged between 18 and 65, who will undergo elective supratentorial craniotomy due to a brain tumor, are planned to be included in the study. Interventions: The group in which IV ipurofen was administered was named Ibuprofen Group (Group I), the group in which scalp nerve block was applied Block Group (Group), and the group in which IV ibuprofen and scalp nerve block were applied together was named Ibuprofen+Block Group (IB Group). In the premedication unit, 800 mg of ibuprofen in 100 ml of normal saline will be administered to Group I and Group IB, and 100 ml of normal saline without ibuprofen will be administered to Group B as a 30-minute IV infusion. After intubation, a scalp nerve block with 20 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine will be applied to Group B and Group IB, and 20 ml of normal saline will be injected into the block sites in Group I. Objective: The investigators aimed to show the effect of scalp nerve block and IV ibuprofen applications, which are routinely applied, on the optimization of the patient's process from induction to the early postoperative period. In addition, the investigators will examine the comparison of hemodynamic and analgesic effects of scalp nerve block and IV ibuprofen applications under the guidance of pain monitor, and their contribution to reducing opioid consumption, which has side effects such as postoperative nausea/vomiting, slowing of GI motility, respiratory depression. Outcome: The primary endpoint of the study was the differences between the groups in the changes in the patients' nociception level (NoL) index, heart rate, and blood pressure parameters at the time of head-pinning and the first surgical skin incision. Randomization: Randomization of the patients into 3 groups will be carried out using the closed envelope method. Blinding: The patients included in the study and the practicing anesthesiologist do not know which patient is included in which group.
