ASCENT Intervention for Brain Tumor Patients
The goal of this study is to test a psychosocial intervention called ASCENT (ACT-based Supportive intervention for patients with CENTral nervous system tumors). This intervention was developed to help patients after being diagnosed with a brain tumor. The main question this study aims to answer is whether this intervention is feasible (i.e., possible to carry out) and acceptable (i.e., considered helpful) to patients. Participants will be asked to take part in 6 coaching sessions and complete short surveys at four different time points. Some participants will be asked to share feedback via interviews.

A Single-arm, Multicenter Clinical Study of Fruquintinib Combined With Cadonilimab Injection and Temozolomide in Second-line and Subsequent Treatment of Advanced Melanoma
This single-arm, multicenter clinical study enrolled patients with advanced malignant melanoma who had failed previous first-line therapy (cutaneous melanoma patients were excluded), and patients with BRAF V600 mutations required targeted therapy.

A Single-arm, Open-label, Clinical Trial of Surufatinib/Serplulimab/Platinum/Etoposide in Neuroendocrine Carcinoma.
This study is a prospective open-label, single-arm, single-center clinical study. Patients with neuroendocrine carcinoma who had not previously received standard therapy were enrolled in this study once they have signed the informed consent form (ICF) and been identified as eligible in screening. This clinical trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of surufatinib and serplulimab combined with standard chemotherapy (Platinum/Etoposide) in neuroendocrine carcinoma.

A Single Arm, Phase 2 Study of Datopotamab Deruxtecan, Carboplatin, and Pembrolizumab for Treatment-naive Brain Metastases From NSCLC (Non-small Cell Lung Cancer)
This is a Phase II, single-arm, multicenter trial for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer who have brain metastases and no known actionable mutations. Eligible patients will receive a combination of Datopotamab-deruxtecan, Carboplatin, and Pembrolizumab every three weeks for four cycles, followed by maintenance therapy with Datopotamab-deruxtecan and Pembrolizumab until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. Patients with intracranial progression but no systemic progression may receive stereotactic radiosurgery and continue treatment based on the investigator's decision.

Assessment of Cognitive Functions in Patients Receiving Whole Brain Radiotherapy in Assiut University Hospitals.
Whole Brain Radiotherapy (WBRT) is widely used to manage brain metastases and primary brain tumors, but it frequently leads to cognitive decline, affecting patients' quality of life. Cognitive impairments after WBRT can manifest in various domains, including memory, attention, executive function, and processing speed. These changes are attributed to direct radiation damage to neural tissues, particularly the hippocampus and white matter tracts, as well as secondary effects such as inflammation and vascular injury. Existing literature reports that up to 30% of patients may experience significant cognitive deterioration after WBRT, with the degree of impairment influenced by...

Assessment of Short Immunotherapy After Radical Surgery of High-risk Malignant Melanoma
1. Rational Every year, around 5,000 people in Sweden are diagnosed with malignant skin melanoma. In the early stages of malignant skin melanoma, the chance of cure with surgery is very good. At a later stage, when the melanoma has become thick and/or has spread, the risk of recurrence is greater despite radical surgery. Therefore, in these cases (even in cases of recurrence after radical surgery), additional treatment with immunotherapy is often given, as it has been shown to reduce the risk of recurrence. Immunotherapy is given for one year based on previous research studies, but it has not been investigated whether a shorter treatment period...

Association Between Helioderma and Response to Immunotherapy in Patients With Metastatic Melanoma
Melanoma is one of the most aggressive forms of skin cancer, representing only 5% of all skin cancer but 80% of all death by skin cancer. Diagnosis and treatment of melanoma must be early because prognosis depends on stage disease. Immunotherapy is used in metastatic melanoma. However, all patients not respond to immunotherapy. Helioderma (photoaging) is a marker of exposure to UV rays and therefore of mutagenesis. Thus, helioderma could be associated with the response to immunotherapy.

A Study of Bicalutamide With Brain Re-irradiation to Treat Recurrent/Progressive High Grade Glioma
The goal of this study is to learn about a type of brain cancer called high-grade glioma. This study is for people who have previously received treatment for brain cancer, but the cancer has come back or gotten worse after treatment. The main question this study aims to answer is: is it safe for participants to take bicalutamide while receiving brain radiation treatment? Participants will: - Take bicalutamide every day for 6 months - Receive radiation treatment to the brain - Keep a diary of the when they take the bicalutamide and any side effects experienced - Visit the clinic once every 8 weeks for checkups and tests

A Study of HX008 Plus Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization (TACE) in the First-Line Treatment of Subjects With Stage IV (M1c) Melanoma That is Metastatic to the Liver
The main purpose of this study is to compare the clinical benefit, as measured by Progression-Free Survival (PFS) and Overall Survival(OS), achieved by HX008 Plus Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization (TACE) or Temozolomide Plus Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization (TACE) in the First-Line Treatment of Subjects With Stage IV (M1c) Melanoma That is Metastatic to the Liver.

A Study of Surufatinib as Adjuvant Therapy for Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors
pNENs still have a risk of recurrence after radical resection, and the overall recurrence and metastasis rate is as high as 13.7%-36.2% in China. At present, there is no standard adjuvant therapy for pNEN, and prospective studies are still lacking. This study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter clinical trial to explore the efficacy and safety of surufatinib in the adjuvant treatment of pNET, in order to further improve the prognosis of patients and to provide high-quality research evidence for adjuvant therapy.
