Perioperative Treatment With Tranexamic Acid in Melanoma
Surgery is a key element in the treatment of melanoma, and naturally linked with an inflammatory response and recruitment of innate immune cells. Although surgery has a favorable intent, surgery-induced inflammation, neutrophils in particular, may accelerate growth of local and systemic micrometastases. Thus, improving cancer surgery and modulating the wound microenvironment in ways that benefit the patients is crucial. Repurposing already approved drugs in a cancer setting has gained increasing interest in recent years. Interestingly, tranexamic acid was recently suggested as an anti-cancer drug, capable of reducing tumor growth in experimental animal models and reducing...

Peripheral T Cell Determinants of Response and Resistance to Pembrolizumab in Melanoma
This is a non-therapeutic study assessing peripheral T cell determinants of response and resistance to immunotherapy in patients with advanced melanoma.The hypothesis is that systemic T cells traffic into the tumor microenvironment (TME) can predict response and resistance to immunotherapy. These systemic tumor directed T cells can be defined by tumor/blood small conditional RNA (scRNA) using T cell receptor (TCR) as a barcode and can help predict response to PD-1 therapy.

Personalised Immunotherapy Platform
This is a non-interventional study to prospectively test a suite of predictive biomarker models of immunotherapy resistance in patients with melanoma, non-melanoma skin cancers and other solid tumours. The study will evaluate the documentation, processes, accuracy and utility of the predictive biomarker model in clinical practice.

Personalized NeoAntigen Cancer Vaccine w RT Plus Pembrolizumab for Patients With Newly Diagnosed GBM
This research study is studying a new type of vaccine as a possible treatment for patients with glioblastoma. This research study is a Phase I clinical trial, which tests the safety of an investigational intervention and also tries to define the appropriate dose of the intervention to use for further studies. "Investigational" means that the intervention is being studied and that research doctors are trying to find more about it. It also means that the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has not approved the Personalized NeoAntigen Cancer Vaccine for any use in patients, including people with glioblastoma. The purpose of the initial study cohort (Cohort 1) is to determine if...

Personalized Neoantigen Peptide-Based Vaccine in Combination With Pembrolizumab for Treatment of Advanced Solid Tumors
This phase I trial tests the safety and tolerability of an experimental personalized vaccine when given by itself and with pembrolizumab in treating patients with solid tumor cancers that have spread to other places in the body (advanced). The experimental vaccine is designed target certain proteins (neoantigens) on individuals' tumor cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving the personalized neoantigen peptide-based vaccine with pembrolizumab may be safe and effective in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.

Personalized Neo-Antigen Peptide Vaccine for the Treatment of Stage IIIC-IV Melanoma, Hormone Receptor Positive HER2 Negative Metastatic Refractory Breast Cancer or Stage III-IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
This phase I trial studies the safety of personalized neo-antigen peptide vaccine in treating patients with stage IIIC-IV melanoma, hormone receptor positive HER2 negative breast cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) or does not respond to treatment (refractory) or stage III-IV non-small cell lung cancer. Personalized neo-antigen peptide vaccine is a product that combines multiple patient specific neo-antigens. Given personalized neo-antigen peptide vaccine together with Th1 polarizing adjuvant poly ICLC may induce a polyclonal, poly-epitope, cytolytic T cell immunity against the patient's tumor.

Personalized Rendering of Motor System Functional Plasticity Potential to Improve Glioma Resection and Quality of Life
Background Lower-grade-gliomas affect young patients, thus the longest progression-free-survival (PFS) with a high level quality of life is crucial. Surgery most significantly impacts on tumor natural history, postponing recurrence, improving symptoms, decreasing the need of adjuvant therapies, with extent of resection, gross-total and supra-total (GTR and STR), strongly associating with longest PFS. Achievement of GTR or STR depends on the degree of functional reorganization induced by glioma. Consequently, a successful treatment fostering neural circuit reorganization before surgery, would increase the chance of GRT/STR. Hypothesis The plastic potential of motor system...
