Filter by:The investigators designed and synthesized a novel fibroblast activation protein (FAP) ligand (DOTA-GPFAPI-04) by assembling three functional moieties: a quinoline-based FAP inhibitor for specifically targeting FAP, a FAP substrate Gly-Pro as a linker for increasing the FAP protein interaction, and a 2,2',2",2‴-(1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetrayl)tetraacetic acid (DOTA) chelator for radiolabeling with different radionuclides. Molecular docking studies investigated the FAP targeting ability of DOTA-GPFAPI-04. DOTA-GPFAPI-04 was then radiolabeled with 68Ga to give 68Ga-DOTA-GPFAPI-04 for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. The investigators found that the 68Ga-DOTA-GPFAPI-04 has high stability, targeted specificity, and longer retention time. The tumor-to-muscle (T/M) ratio for 68Ga-DOTA-GPFAPI-04 reached 9.15.

Primary objective of this study is to identify and describe the clinico-biological and molecular characteristics of tumors with somatic POLE (Polymerase ɛ)/POLD1 mutation identified by molecular biology platforms for all stages and primary sites combined

The ProTarget study is a phase II, prospective, non-randomized clinical trial with the primary purpose of investigating the safety and efficacy of commercially available cancer drugs that target specific changes in cancer cell DNA to treat patients with advanced cancer. The primary endpoint is anti-tumor activity or stable disease documented after 16 weeks of experimental drug treatment. The drugs used in the trial have been approved by EMA/FDA for the treatment of certain cancers. Choice of drug is based on whether the patient's cancer cells contain precisely the DNA change (i) targeted by the EMA/FDA-approved drug or (ii) related to sensitivity to the EMA/FDA-approved drug. The trial drug is thus not approved by the EMA/FDA or in Denmark for the treatment of the patient's cancer - it is so-called "off-label use". The secondary purposes are: - To detect side effects in patients treated with commercially available targeted cancer drugs. - Performing biomarker analyzes, including (but not limited to) whole-genome analysis (WGS) on a fresh tumor tissue sample (biopsy) at baseline and progression. - To investigate mechanisms of resistance using recurrent / serial fresh tumor biopsies for WGS and so-called liquid biopsies, which are blood samples in which the cancer cell DNA is analyzed. The secondary endpoints include response duration, progression-free survival, and overall survival.
This is a prospective, non-randomized clinical trial that aims to describe the efficacy and toxicity of commercially available, targeted anticancer drugs* prescribed for treatment of patients with advanced cancer with a potentially actionable variant as revealed by a genomic or protein expression test. The study also aims to simplify patient access to approved targeted therapies that are contributed to the program by collaborating pharmaceutical companies and to perform next generation sequencing on tumor biopsies for biomarker analyses. Eligible patients have an advanced solid tumor, multiple myeloma or B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma for which standard treatment options are no longer available and acceptable performance status and organ function. A genomic or protein expression test must have been performed on the tumor and the results must identify at least one potentially actionable molecular variant as defined in the protocol. Results from the molecular profiling test will be used to determine an appropriate drug(s) from among those available in the protocol. The choice of drug will be supported by a list of potential profiles, a molecular tumor board, a knowledge library and by study coordinators for review and approval of the match. The protocol-specified treatment will be administered to the patient once any drug-specific eligibility criteria are confirmed and a fresh pre-treatment biopsy is performed for future genetic studies. All patients who receive treatment with a drug available in the protocol will be followed for standard efficacy outcomes including tumor response, progression-free and overall survival as well as duration of treatment. In addition, treatment related toxicity will be evaluated.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether 18F-Al labeled RGD is safety and effective for cancer diagnosis and therapy response.
The aim of this study is to employ genomic detection methodologies to measure the relative amount of tumor nucleic acids in the blood of a cancer patient with diagnosed metastatic disease that is either commencing, currently undergoing or completed cytotoxic chemotherapy treatment. More generally, this approach will allow us to develop a quantitative measure of therapy efficacy via the counting of the relative changes in tumor molecules over the course of treatment.
The prognosis of children and adolescents with high risk tumors of the central nervous system and other miscellaneous solid tumors is poor despite modern treatment protocols. Frequently, physicians suggest additional therapy with high dose chemotherapy after a good initial response to standard doses of treatment has been obtained, so as to reduce the chance that the tumor will recur. We propose a regimen of high dose thiotepa and melphalan followed by rescue of the patient's previously stored hematopoietic (blood manufacturing) system with blood stem cells. The aim of this study is to prove that this therapy is tolerable in children and adolescents, that it results in tolerable levels of toxicity, and that it improves the survival of this group of children as compared to standard therapy given in the past
The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic liver surgery.
