Filter by:The aim of this study was to analyse usefulness of [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT scans in preoperative differentiation between HGG and LGG in patients with suspicion of a tumor of glial origin in previously performed imaging examinations. The PET/CT scan will be compared with postoperative histopathological results and with additional immunohistochemical staining for PSMA expression.
This retrospective study aims to assess the utility of 2D non-navigated intraoperative ultrasound (ioUS) as a cost-effective alternative for guiding the surgical resection of gliomas and for detecting residual tumor. The study will analyse the records from consecutive adult patients diagnosed with gliomas, undergoing craniotomy between June 2018 and June 2023. The extent of resection (EOR) will be determined using postoperative MRI as the gold standard. The study will also examine the sensitivity and specificity of ioUS in detecting residual tumor. This research seeks to determine if ioUS can be an affordable and reliable tool that, combined with other intraoperative adjuncts, may aid neurosurgeons in achieving the maximum safe resection in glioma surgery.
Main limitations in Glioma studies are due to the wide heterogeneity and genetic instability of the tumor and to the fact that the molecular informations are static, i.e. obtained on the tumor at its onset. Instead, spontaneous or therapy-induced variations are difficult to evaluate and they would need further sampling of the tumor throughout the clinical history. Currently these data are more and more routinely used not only for diagnostics but also in the clinical management of the patient. Furthermore, microenvironment study is becoming increasingly important. It is also important correlate morpho-functional pathway and brain Magnetic Resonance. Therefore, the main goal of the study is to correlate the data obtained with morphological (site, signal intensity, margins, behavior after contrast medium infusion, mismatch between T2 and FLAIR sequences) and non-morphological MR imaging through a radiomic approach and Diffusion and Perfusion study, with molecular data relating to the IDH mutation, MGMT gene promoter methylation, 1p/19q co-deletion and EGFRvIII expression. Furthermore, it is proposed to carry out a correlation between the radiological data and the mutations found in the NGS panel.
The purpose of this trail is to evaluate the performance of Genetron TERT PCR Kit in Glioma patients using real-time PCR method.
The purpose of this trail is to evaluate the performance of Genetron IDH1 PCR Kit in Glioma patients using real-time PCR method.
Evaluate the diagnostic value of TERT promoter mutation in differ glioma subtypes and expend the application of the diagnostic algorithm to surgical practice
We explores the accuracy and sensitivity of rapid intraoperative detection of IDH, TERT, BRAF indicators through a prospective clinical multi-center study. This part includes a total of 300 fresh tissue samples, paired blood samples, relevant clinical information and follow-up information from 300 patients with different grades of adult glioma. By comparing with the postoperative sequencing results, the specificity and sensitivity of intraoperative IDH and TERT rapid detection results are clear.
The purpose of this research study is to learn more about seizures in people with primary brain tumors. It will evaluate whether an antiseizure medication decreases hyperexcitability activity around tumors and prevents seizures. The procedure and study drug involved in this study are: - Electrocorticography - Perampanel (Fycompa)
The purpose of this pilot study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and the maximum tolerated dose intranasal administration of temozolomide (TMZ) as a single agent in Treatment on the patients with GBM. Intranasal administration is a new method of treating brain tumours for the direct administration of drugs, inhibitors or viruses, with minimal involvement of the BBB. The investigators know the orally prescribed standard chemotherapy temozolomide (TMZ) is widely used to treat glioma tumours. Received evidence of safety and efficacy in a full cycle of preclinical trials (on GLP Standart) and tests of calculated doses of intranasal administration of TMZ in healthy volunteers. Intranasal administration of temozolomide is considered as GBM therapy, which provides direct access to a therapeutic dose of the drug into the brain (to the neoplastic process) with low toxicity
Approximately 90% of children with malignant brain tumors that have recurred or relapsed after receiving conventional therapy will die of disease. Despite this terrible and frustrating outcome, continued treatment of this population remains fundamental to improving cure rates. Studying this relapsed population will help unearth clues to why conventional therapy fails and how cancers continue to resist modern advances. Moreover, improvements in the treatment of this relapsed population will lead to improvements in upfront therapy and reduce the chance of relapse for all. Novel therapy and, more importantly, novel approaches are sorely needed. This trial proposes a new approach that evaluates rational combination therapies of novel agents based on tumor type and molecular characteristics of these diseases. The investigators hypothesize that the use of two predictably active drugs (a doublet) will increase the chance of clinical efficacy. The purpose of this trial is to perform a limited dose escalation study of multiple doublets to evaluate the safety and tolerability of these combinations followed by a small expansion cohort to detect preliminary efficacy. In addition, a more extensive and robust molecular analysis of all the participant samples will be performed as part of the trial such that we can refine the molecular classification and better inform on potential response to therapy. In this manner the tolerability of combinations can be evaluated on a small but relevant population and the chance of detecting antitumor activity is potentially increased. Furthermore, the goal of the complementary molecular characterization will be to eventually match the therapy with better predictive biomarkers. PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: - To determine the safety and tolerability and estimate the maximum tolerated dose/recommended phase 2 dose (MTD/RP2D) of combination treatment by stratum. - To characterize the pharmacokinetics of combination treatment by stratum. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: - To estimate the rate and duration of objective response and progression free survival (PFS) by stratum.
