Ex VIvo DEtermiNed Cancer Therapy
Bladder CancerKidney Cancer4 moreEVIDENT's aim is to test if ex vivo drug screening can predict whether patients with solid cancers will respond, or not respond, to standard care treatments. Patients undergoing standard care surgery to excise their tumour, those undergoing a biopsy, or those having a fluid aspirate of a solid tumour with surplus tissue available after diagnostic use will be eligible for this study. The specimen will then be assessed with ex vivo drug screening utilising all standard therapies and therapies that are more novel and in early stages of development. The results of the ex vivo drug screen will be compared to the cancer's actual response to standard care treatments for those that undergo therapy to determine how effective the test is at predicting treatment response.
Improving Treatment of Glioblastoma: Distinguishing Progression From Pseudoprogression
GlioblastomaGlioblastoma is the most aggressive kind of brain cancer and leads on average to 20 years of life lost, more than any other cancer. MRI images of the brain are taken before the operation, and every few months after treatment, to see if the cancer regrows. It can be hard for doctors to tell if what they see in these images represent growing cancer or a sideeffect of treatment. The similarity of the appearance of the treatment side-effects to cancer is confusing and is known as "pseudoprogression" (as opposed to true cancer progression). If doctors mistake the appearance of treatment side-effects for growing cancer, they may think that the treatment is failing and change the patient's treatment too early or put them into a clinical trial. This means that patients may not be given the full treatment and the results from some clinical trials cannot be trusted. The aim of this study is to provide doctors with a computer program that will use MRI images of the brain that are routinely obtained throughout treatment, in order to help them more accurately identify when the cancer regrows.
Registry of Patients With Brain Tumors Treated With STaRT (GammaTiles)
Brain TumorRecurrent8 moreThe objectives of this registry study are to evaluate real-world clinical outcomes and patient reported outcomes that measure the effectiveness and safety of STaRT.
Grafts of GSCs Into Brain Organoids for Testing Anti-invasion Drugs
GlioblastomaGlioma1 moreIn patients operated for glioblastoma, glioma stem-like cell lines will be obtained from tumor tissue, and IPSCs from skin fibroblasts or PBMCs. Brain organoids will be generated from IPSCs and co-cultured with IPSCs to study brain invasion and ciliogenesis. 3D genome architecture of glioma stem-like cells will be investigated. Gene modulation and pharmacologic strategies to inhibit invasion and restore ciliogenesis will be explored.
Escalated Dose Proton Therapy Within the Multimodality Treatment of Glioblastoma Patients
GlioblastomaThe goal of this phase 1 dose finding study is to to assess the clinical tolerability and safety of escalated dose proton therapy in glioblastoma patients treated with multimodality treatment, according to treatment volume. The main questions it aims to answer are: what is the maximum tolerated proton dose in glioblastoma patients? is the maximum tolerated proton dose in glioblastoma patients dependent on treatment volume? what is the recommended phase 2 proton dose in glioblastoma patients? Patients will be asked to undergo radiotherapy to step-wise escalated doses using proton therapy as part of their multimodality treatment. Patients will be monitored closely for treatment effects.
Sintilimab in Combination With Bevacizumab and Temozolomide in Recurrent Glioblastoma (GBM) Patients...
Recurrent GlioblastomaThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sintilimab in combination with Bevacizumab and Temozolomide in subjects with recurrent glioblastoma.
Contribution From PET-DOPA in Glioblastoma Re-irradiation - A Randomized Phase II Study
GlioblastomaReciDOPA is a phase II, single-stage randomized, multicenter, prospective trial assessing the efficacy of an irradiation protocol based on Intensity-modulated radiation therapy with simultaneous-integrated boost guided by FDOPA-PET in patient with recurrent glioblastoma.
A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerance and Initial Efficacy of EGFRvIII CAR-T on Glioblastoma...
Recurrent GlioblastomaThis is a single-center, open, dose-increasing study. For subjects with recurrent glioblastomaIt ,is estimated that about 22 subjects will be enrolled, The main purpose was to evaluate the safety and tolerance of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Variant III Chimeric antigen receptor T(EGFRvIII CAR-T) in the treatment of patients with recurrent glioblastoma.The secondary purpose is to preliminarily evaluate the anti-tumor activity of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Variant III Chimeric antigen receptor T(EGFRvIII CAR-T) in the treatment of patients with recurrent glioblastoma, and preliminarily evaluate the relationship between the clinical efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Variant III Chimeric antigen receptor T cells(EGFRvIII CAR-T cells) preparation, as well as their correlation with tumor markers or other potential biomarkers. This clinical study is an open clinical study, including dose increasing stage and expansion stage. The main objective of the study was to observe the efficacy and safety of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Variant III Chimeric antigen receptor T cells(EGFRvIII CAR-T cells) in the treatment of Glioblastoma (GBM) by local administration (Omaya capsule administration). The study will be divided into the following stages: screening stage, baseline stage, treatment stage, short-term follow-up and long-term follow-up stage.
Protective VEGF Inhibition for Isotoxic Dose Escalation in Glioblastoma
GlioblastomaGlioblastoma is the most aggressive brain tumor and often recurs locally despite intensive treatment. Standard chemoradiotherapy with 60 Gy may not be sufficient to control the tumor, and dose escalation seems to be warranted, but causes more toxicity. To address this, the multicentric PRIDE trial employs two cycles of bevacizumab to achieve dose escalation isotoxically. The goal is improved survival without significantly increasing side effects. The study uses a simultaneous integrated boost with a total dose of 75 Gy in 2.5 Gy per fraction.
Sintilimab (One Anti-PD-1 Antibody) Plus Low-dose Bevacizumab for ctDNA-level-relapse and Clinical-relapse...
GlioblastomaThis is an ongoing Phase 2, open-label, single-center, non-randomized study of sintilimab (one anti-PD-1 antibody same as nivolumab approved in China) plus bevacizumab administered in a low dosage schedule in adult (≥ 18 years) participants with a clinical relapse or circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)-level relapse of glioblastoma (GBM). This study has two non-comparative study groups. Both cohorts will receive the same study drug sintilimab 200mg and bevacizumab 3mg/kg every 3 weeks. A stringent two-step non-randomized process will be used to assign participants to one of the study groups. Neither participants nor doctors but the researcher can choose which group participants are in. No one knows if one study group is better or worse than the other. 60 total participants are expected to participate in this study (30 participants in each cohort). Grouping process: After enrollment, under the standard of care, participants will receive regular tumor in situ fluid (fluid within the surgical cavity, TISF) sampling for ctDNA analysis and recceive regular MRI. The researcher will study the TISF ctDNA and imaging dynamics to determine whether the tumor reaches to ctDNA-level (Cohort 1) or clinical relapse (Cohort 2). At the first step, all timely identified as ctDNA-level relapse tumors will be assigned into the Cohort 1 and receive the study drug immediately, those failed to be timely identified will be assigned into the Cohort 2 and receive the study drug after the clinical relapse. At the second step, once either group reaches the target number, the new participants will be all assigned into the other Cohort.
