IFx-Hu2.0 As An Adjunctive Therapy To Pembrolizumab In Advanced Or Metastatic Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCC)
This Phase 1, multicenter, open-label trial will assess the safety and feasibility of IFx-Hu2.0 as adjunctive therapy to pembrolizumab in adult patients (≥18 years) with non-cutaneous Merkel Cell Carcinoma. Nine subjects will receive IFx-Hu2.0 as a visceral lesion injection in a single lesion followed by pembrolizumab.

IMmune checkPoint Inhibitor Related gonAdal toxiCiTy in Premenopausal Women and Men With Melanoma
This study aims to capture information regarding the effect of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment for melanoma on reproductive organ function and sex hormone levels. You may be eligible for this study if you are aged 18 years or older, you have been diagnosed with melanoma (Stage II, III or IV) and you are planning to receive ICI treatment. Additional criteria will apply dependent upon your biological sex characteristics. All participants who choose to enroll in this study will be asked to complete a series of questionnaires and provide blood at 4 of their scheduled treatment visits. These visits are anticipated to add 30 minutes to the scheduled visit time. Male...

Immune PET and Proteomics for the Assessment of Response to Spatially Fractionated or Palliative Radiotherapy With or Without Immunotherapy
The aim of the study is to evaluate the response to four schemes of treatment with novel diagnostic tools - Immuno-PET and proteomics as well as standard imaging (magnetic resonsonce imaging and computed tomography). Two fractionation schedules of radiotherapy will be used. The first will be a common standard of palliative irradiation - 20 Gy delivered in five fractions of 4 Gy (SHORT). The other is called Spatially Fractionated Radiotherapy (SFRT). SFRT is delivered in one fraction of 20 Gy but the dose is diversified inside the tumor to produce areas of high and low doses distributed alternately. This kind of irradiation may be able to stimulate immune response and improve the...

IMMUNORARE5: A National Platform of 5 Academic Phase II Trials Coordinated by Lyon University Hospital to Assess the Safety and the Efficacy of the IMMUNOtherapy With Domvanalimab + Zimberelimab Combination in Patients With Advanced RARE Cancers
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have revolutionized the management of advanced cancers. However, most rare cancers have been excluded from this progress due to the lack of clinical trials involving these diseases. After the standard first-line treatment, there are no other validated treatments for most of them. The management of these patients in ≥ 2nd line treatment relies on historic poorly effective regimens. This creates an inequity between patients with frequent cancers beneficiating from medical progresses and approvals of innovative drugs, and patients with rare cancers are still treated with old and toxic drugs. Few available data on case reports and early phase...

Immunotherapy for Solid Tumor Malignancies in Pediatrics Using Interleukin-15 and -21 Armored Glypican-3-specific Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells
This Phase 1, open-label, non-randomized study will enroll pediatric and young adult subjects with relapsed or refractory non-central nervous system (CNS) malignant solid tumors expressing glypican-3 (GPC3) to examine the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of administering T cell products derived from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) that have been genetically modified to co-express a GPC3-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), interleukin (IL)-15 and IL-21 as well as the inducible caspase 9 (iC9) suicide gene (SC-CAR.GPC3xIL15.21 T cells). A child or young adult meeting all eligibility criteria and meeting none of the exclusion criteria will have a blood sample...

Immunotherapy Targeting of Cytomegalovirus Antigens in Glioblastoma
In Australia, glioblastoma (GBM) has a higher annual fatality rate than a variety of other cancers, such as melanoma, bladder, and kidney tumors. While the 5-year survival rate for other cancers, such as breast and prostate cancer, has increased, there have been no notable advancements in GBM during the past ten years, and the incidence and mortality patterns have barely changed between 1982 and 2011. In particular, GBM poses a challenging therapeutic dilemma for patients and physicians due to its aggressive biology and resistance to available treatments. Recent studies showed that cytomegalovirus (CMV) is expressed in GBM tumors, making it a good target for immunotherapy trials....

Integrated Analysis of Therapy Response and Resistence in Embryonal Tumors and Gliomas
The treatment of adolescents and young adults (AYA, 15 to 39 years) with malignant intra-axial CNS parenchymal tumors such as IDH-mutated gliomas, medulloblastomas and ependymomas is still not curative in all cases. The tumor biology and clinical needs to diagnose and treat these tumors are comparable across all age groups, so an integrated treatment environment overseen by adult and pediatric neuro-oncology specialists seems promising to leverage synergisms and advance diagnostic and therapeutic development in these tumors. A comprehensive, prospective and integrated biomaterial and imaging-based pipeline for the multi-faceted evaluation of AYAs has not yet been established for...

Integrated Genomics in Oncogene-driven NSCLC With Acquired Resistance
Currently, tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) remains the standard of care for oncogene-driven non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, almost all oncogene-driven NSCLCs would develop acquired resistance against TKI in clinical practice. Therefore, understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the acquired resistance is a critical issue in lung cancer. Based on the literature, acquired resistance mechanism against EGFR TKI includes EGFR secondary mutation (T790M, C797X, L792X, G796X, L718Q, and exon 20 insertions), MET amplification, HER2 amplification, acquired gene fusions, and other complex alterations. From the perspective of mutagenesis, the acquired resistance against...

Interest of a TEteleconsultation of a Psychological Support Nurse on Psychological Distress in Patients with a Primary Malignancy of the Central Nervous System
The goal of this clinal trial is to compare the effectiveness of nurse-led teleconsultation with usual care (intervention group) on psychological distress in patients with primary malignant tumors of the central nervous system between diagnosis and first anti-cancer treatment, versus usual care alone (control group). Participants will be randomized into two groups : - group A) intervention: usual care + nurse teleconsultation for psychological support - group B) control: usual care alone Enrolment = Day0 (D0) Participants will : - groups A and B: D0: complete 4 questionnaires (Quality of Life, Screening for Distress, Screening for Anxiety and...
