Does Nerve Block + Oral Dexamethasone Reduce Recurrence of Headache Within 72 Hrs?
MigraineFor some patients who come to the emergency department for treatment of a migraine headache, peripheral headache nerve blocks (PHNB) have proven to be an efficient and effective treatment for headache relief. Previous studies have demonstrated that adding steroids as an adjunct treatment to standard migraine treatment can reduce recurrence of headaches in the subsequent few days.
Study of Valemetostat Tosylate as a Single Agent in Patients With Relapse/Refractory B-cell Lymphoma...
LymphomaB-CellThis is a multicenter, prospective, single arm, non-randomized, open-label, phase 2 clinical study to evaluate safety and efficacy of valemetostat tosylate (DS-3201b) in patients with relapsed or refractory B cell lymphoma with 6 cohorts of patients including 2 biology-driven cohorts. Up to 141 patients will be enrolled in 6 different cohorts (40 patients with aggressive B-cell lymphoma, 41 with follicular lymphoma (FL), 20 with Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) and 20 with other indolent lymphomas, and 20 patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL)). FL patients with EZH2 mutant (gain of function mutations) will be enrolled in the cohort 2bis. At least 8 aggressive B-cell lymphoma patients with EZH2 mutant will be enrolled in the cohort 1. The primary endpoint is the overall response rate (ORR) determined by investigator assessment.
Third-Party Natural Killer Cells and Mogamulizumab for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Cutaneous...
Recurrent Adult T-Cell Leukemia/LymphomaRecurrent Primary Cutaneous T-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma2 moreThis phase I trial is to find out the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of third-party natural killer cells in combination with mogamulizumab in treating patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma or adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Immunotherapy with third-party natural killer cells, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Mogamulizumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving third-party natural killer cells in combination with mogamulizumab may kill more cancer cells.
Low-Dose Selinexor and Choline Salicylate for Non-Hodgkin or Hodgkin Lymphoma, Histiocytic/Dendritic...
Recurrent Histiocytic and Dendritic Cell NeoplasmRecurrent Hodgkin Lymphoma6 moreThis phase Ib trial evaluates the side effects and best dose of choline salicylate given together with a low dose of selinexor in treating patients with non-Hodgkin or Hodgkin lymphoma, or multiple myeloma whose prior treatment did not help their cancer (refractory) or for patients with histiocytic/dendritic cell neoplasm. Anti-inflammatory drugs, such as choline salicylate lower the body's immune response and are used with other drugs in the treatment of some types of cancer. Selinexor may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking a protein called CRM1 that is needed for cell growth. This trial may help doctors learn more about selinexor and choline salicylate as a treatment for with non-Hodgkin or Hodgkin lymphoma, histiocytic/dendritic cell neoplasm, multiple myeloma.

Repeat Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Ipsilateral Breast Tumor Recurrence
MastectomyAccording to the standard treatment guidelines established until recently, in the case of ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence without systemic metastasis, salvage mastectomy or lumpectomy can be performed when either partial or whole breast radiation therapy is possible. On the other hand, there are currently no standard treatment guidelines for axillary treatment, and the evidence for this is limited. Axillary lymph node metastasis was reported to occur in about 26% of breast cancer patients who had negative sentinel lymph nodes from previous surgery for primary breast cancer and only local recurrence occurred. It is still important in the decision of treatment or adjuvant radiation therapy. However, it is known that most of the patients with ipsilateral breast recurrence do not have axillary lymph node metastasis. Therefore, performing axillary axillary surgery in all of these patients does not help the patient's survival in many cases, but rather can lead to complications such as lymphedema and seroma and postoperative wound infection. A question about the implementation of axillary lymph node resection has been raised and for this reason, it is necessary to study whether surveillance lymph node biopsy is still effective in patients with recurrence in the ipsilateral breast. Most of the studies on ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence without systemic metastasis reported to date are case reports or small retrospective studies. In addition, the combined meta-analysis also has limitations in that the study design is not uniform, and there are many cases in which primary breast cancer surgery performed total mastectomy or axillary lymph node dissection. This study is a multicenter prospective study designed to validate the clinical effectiveness of repeat-SLNB conducted in patients with ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence among patients who previously underwent breast conservation and sentinel lymph node biopsy for unilateral primary breast cancer.

Intracavitary Carrier-embedded Cs131 Brachytherapy for Recurrent Brain Metastases: a Randomized...
Recurrent Brain MetastasesThe purpose of this study is to see if Cs-131 brachytherapy is effective in people with recurrent brain cancer who are scheduled to have brain surgery for removal of their tumor(s). The researchers would like to see whether Cs-131 prevents brain tumors from growing back after surgery.The researchers will compare Cs-131 brachytherapy (which occurs during brain surgery) with the usual approach of brain surgery without brachytherapy. The researchers will compare both the effectiveness and safety of the two approaches.

Effectiveness of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) in Smoking Cessation, Combining Withdrawal...
Smoking CessationSmoking cessation is a public health priority. Tobacco is directly responsible for 75,000 deaths per year in France. Without help, less than 5% of smokers are still abstinent after 12 months of smoking cessation. The use of nicotine replacement therapy only increases the chances of successful smoking cessation by 2-3%. Brain imaging research shows that the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPC) is involved in tobacco addiction. Disorders induced in the DLPC cause an irrepressible urge to smoke (craving) and largely explain relapse during smoking cessation. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) could be a promising tool in the quest for an effective approach to smoking cessation. This technique is used for direct stimulation of the DLPC via a magnetic coil in order to reduce the cortical activity of the DLPC and thus to reduce cravings. A first randomized controlled study using TMS was conducted at the University Hospital of Dijon in highly addicted smokers who had failed to quit with the usual withdrawal strategies. In this study, entitled Tabacstim 1, we found that the combination of nicotine substitutes (to reduce physical withdrawal symptoms) with 10 "attack" sessions of TMS (to reduce cravings) increased the rate of abstinence during the first 2 weeks of withdrawal (% abstinence = 88. However, in this study, the therapeutic effect of the nicotine-SMT combination was not prolonged once the stimuli were stopped. At 6 and 12 weeks from the start of withdrawal, abstinence rates in the active SMT and placebo SMT groups were no longer significantly different. We therefore initiated a new study, entitled Tabacstim 2, to add maintenance brain stimulation to the Tabacstim 1 protocol after the "attack" sessions (this therapeutic scheme is classically used in the treatment of depression with TMS). This study started in July 2020 and will end very soon (71 inclusions completed out of the 78 expected). In both Tabacstim 1 and Tabacstim 2, the stimulations are delivered at low frequency (1 Hz) on the right DLPC. However, a recently published meta-analysis shows that, in addictions, stimulations delivered at a high frequency (10 Hz) on the left DLPC appear to be more effective in reducing craving. But above all, another meta-analysis carried out by our team (in progress of publication), finds that excitatory stimulations (such as 10 Hz rTMS) on the left DLPC are very effective in maintaining smoking abstinence in the medium term (3 and 6 months), which does not seem to be the case for inhibitory stimulations (such as 1 Hz rTMS). We therefore wish to carry out the Tabacstim 3 study, which only differs from Tabacstim 2 in two stimulation parameters: 10 Hz stimulations on the left DLPC instead of 1 Hz stimulations on the right DLPC. We therefore propose in Tabacstim 3 to use excitatory stimulations on the left instead of inhibitory stimulations on the right. Tabacstim 3 could be more effective for prolonged smoking cessation than the 2 previous protocols.
