Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms"

To detect IKZF-1 deletion mutations in patients with ALL. To study the impact of IKZF-1 deletion mutation on therapy of ALL. To study the correlation between IKZF-1 deletion mutations and BCR-ABL.

The project aims to identify Nivolumab predictive biomarkers in metastatic renal cancer patients through functional evaluation of peripheral Tregs and NKs. Moreover the efficacy of new CXCR4 antagonists (PCT/IB2011/000120/ EP2528936B1/ US2013/0079292A1) will be ex vivo evaluated in modulating Tregs and NKs function

The primary aims of this study is to characterize exosomal biomarker levels in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy. Compare rates of exosomal expression before during and after chemoradiation therapy with pathologic response rates at the time of APR or LAR. The researchers will also examine the functionality of these exosomes in malignant colonic organoids and mouse models of colorectal cancer.

Aim of this study is to evaluate the correlation between the characteristics detected by the 7T MRI equipment and the histological composition of native explanted livers (group A), liver graft excluded for donation (group B) and surgical specimens of primary pancreatic tumour, which underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy (group C).

Retrospectively collected 400 cases of clinical data and pathological paraffin specimens of osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma (control) and endogenous chondroma (control) in our hospital from 2008 to 2014, combined with high-pressure cycle-satellite scanning mass spectrometry (PCT-SWATH) Molecular typing of osteosarcoma and prediction of targeted therapy, the establishment of a new molecular classification based on proteomics for osteosarcoma to predict the chemotherapy response and recurrence risk of osteosarcoma. Clinical osteosarcoma patients include as many types as possible: pre-chemotherapy, post-chemotherapy, recurrence, and metastasis. The study did not involve vulnerable groups, and it was taken as a postoperative wax specimen for patients, which had no health, life and other effects on patients. Study application exemption from informed consent.

The main purpose of the study is to determine risk factors of poor bowel cleansing in patients referred for colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) examination. Patients will be prepared with polyethylene glycol (PEG), and a booster by using oral low volume sodium phosphate (NaP) and sodium-amidotrizoate and meglumine-amidotrizoate (Gastrografin ®) The investigators also will try to design a predictive score of poor bowel cleansing and to validate the Bowel cleansing score designed by Leighton and modified by Spada

The investigators want to verify the hypothesis that targeting the calcium-activated (KCa3.1) and the voltage-dependent K channel (Kv1.3) could be a valuable therapeutic strategy to reprogram cells of the innate immune system, with the aim to fight glioma, a deadly CNS tumor. The investigators will use murine models of glioma, injecting GL261 cells in the brain of syngeneic C57BL6 mice, to study the effect of K channel inhibition on the activation of microglia (M), macrophages (Mf) and NK cells. The investigators will use M and vesicles released from these cells, re-educated toward an anti-tumor phenotype, to interfere with the vicious circle responsible of uncontrolled tumor growth and will study the role of NK cells in tumor-M/Mf communication. The investigators will also investigate how K channels interfere with the communication of innate immune cells and brain cells like neurons and astrocytes, with experiments focused on synaptic transmission and calcium imaging, investigating the effect of modulation of the tumor microenvironment.

Local percutaneous thermal ablation is frequently proposed in the management of metastatic diseases. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has demonstrated good results when the metastatic disease is limited and slowly evolving. The destruction of solid metastasis by RF leads to inflammatory and immunological mechanisms that remain poorly understood. These pathological events may influence the overall and anti-tumor host immune responses. The purpose of the study is to identify and quantify some immune mechanisms triggered by RFA of pulmonary metastases from colorectal cancer origin.

A Prospective Exploratory Clinical Study to explore the efficacy of Hospital Traditional Chinese Medicine Preparation Kangliuwan for Recurrent Grade IV Glioma.

This retrospective study explores the combination of Programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression and Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) as an easy feasible panel to predict benefit to nivolumab.
