Achieving a Better Outcome Through Limiting the Glioblastoma Clinical Target Volume
The objective of the BELGICA trial is to evaluate if radiotherapy could be given in a more focused manner in patients with glioblastoma in order to reduce side effects and improve quality of life. What is glioblastoma (GBM)? GBM is the most common and aggressive tumour originating from the brain, affecting approximately 600 patients per year in Belgium. What is the current treatment for patients with GBM? The treatment consists in surgical resection of the tumour (when feasible), followed by a combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. What is the outcome of patients with GBM? Despite multimodal treatment (surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy), the life expectancy of...

A Clinical Study of Intratumoral MVR-C5252 (C5252) in Patients With Recurrent or Progressive Glioblastoma
This is a Phase 1 open label, first in human study of C5252 monotherapy designed to determine the safety and tolerability of a single intratumoral (IT) injection of C5252 in patients with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma (GBM).

A Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Lutetium[177Lu] Oxodotreotide Injection in Patients With Advanced Neuroendocrine Neoplasms
This is a multicenter, single-arm, two-part study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Lutetium [177Lu] Oxyoctreotide Injection in patients with inoperable, locally advanced or metastatic, progressive, advanced somatostatin receptor (SSTR) positive neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) other than grade G1/G2 gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NET).

A Close Examination of Patient Experiences in Glioblastoma Multiforme Clinical Research
Clinical research can sometimes favor certain demographic groups. Additionally, there is limited research that delves into the factors that influence participation in clinical study, both positive and negative. The goal is to identify the obstacles and challenges that prevent participation in glioblastoma multiforme clinical study, as well as the reasons for withdrawal or discontinuation. Insights gained from this study will ultimately benefit those with glioblastoma multiforme who may be invited to participate in clinical trial in the years to come.

Activated Autologous T Cells Against Glioma Cancer Stem Cell Antigens for Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma
The purpose of this study is to examine the use of activated T cells (ATCs) to assess the safety and tolerability of autologous activated T cells, as measured by the number of Grade 3 or higher toxicities, the number of serious adverse events, and treatment-related toxicities, according to National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Version 5, to find the maximum tolerated dose. The secondary objectives include evaluating the rate of overall survival, rate of progression-free survival, health-related quality of life parameters, overall response rate, immune response, and tumor stem cell antigen expression.

A Detailed Look At What Patients Experience In Medullary Thyroid Cancer Clinical Study
Clinical studies, with a distinct emphasis on medullary thyroid cancer, play a pivotal role in evaluating the safety and effectiveness of novel treatments for this condition. These trials serve as essential tools to determine whether new medications surpass conventional therapies, providing substantial evidence to endorse their broader adoption. The primary objective is to meticulously examine trial completion rates and voluntary withdrawals within this specific patient group. By actively participating in this observational study plays a critical role in pushing medical knowledge forward and advancing care for individuals suffering from the medullary thyroid cancer.

Adjuvant Quisinostat in High-Risk Uveal Melanoma
The purpose of this study is to see if giving participants quisinostat will prevent participants' uveal melanoma tumor from spreading. The researchers want to find out the effects that quisinostat has on participants' condition.

A Dose Escalation Study to Estimate MTD, DLTs and Pharmacokinetics After a Single Intracranial Dose of SI-053 as an add-on to the Current Standard of Care, in Adult Patients With Newly Diagnosed GBM
SI-053 is a novel powder formulation containing temozolomide (TMZ), an alkylating chemotherapy agent, in an excipient which forms a viscous gel upon reconstitution in water. SI-053 will be used as an add-on to SoC for newly diagnosed GBM. SoC consists of maximal safe resection followed by radiation therapy (RT) with concomitant TMZ and adjuvant chemotherapy with TMZ. For MGMT promoter methylated GBM, lomustine and TMZ may be administered plus radiation therapy

A Feasibility Study to Investigate LATe CaRdiac ToxicIty Following ImmUnotherapy Treatment for Melanoma
People who develop a type of skin cancer known as 'melanoma' are often treated with immunotherapy. The type of immunotherapy used for patients with melanoma is known as Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICI). While ICI is very successful, it can lead to negative side effects that are known as 'immune related adverse events' (irAEs). These irAEs can affect any part of the body and can range in severity from mild symptoms to death. There has been a lot of research on irAEs that occur during ICI, but less is known about how irAEs can affect people in the long-term. Although irAEs are common from ICI, acute irAEs affecting the heart (cardiac irAEs) are uncommon. However, as they...
