Effectiveness of Group and Individual Training in EFT for Patients in Remission From Melanoma
Serious medical diagnosis frequently induce fear focused on specific anticipations or generalized anxiety, along with uncertainty, insecurity, and disorientation. Other emotions such as anger, depression, hopelessness, shame, or grief may also become involved following a serious diagnosis. The adverse impact of stress on health and immune function is well-established, as well as its link to depression and anxiety. Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) has demonstrated efficacy in treating anxiety, depression, and PTSD. This study tests its effectiveness in reducing negative emotional symptoms in general, and fear of recurrence in particular, among individuals previously...

Effectiveness of MR-guided LITT Therapy in Irresectable Glioblastoma (EMITT)
The aim of this study is to investigate the (cost-)effectiveness of LITT (Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy) in primary irresectable glioblastoma. Glioblastoma are the most common malignant brain tumors and are, due to their devastating nature and the fact that these tumors occur at a relatively young age (median 59 years), responsible for up to 7% of total life years lost from cancer before the age of 70. The current treatment of glioblastoma consists of maximal safe surgery combined with adjuvant chemoradiation therapy (CRT). However, despite this aggressive treatment, these patients still face a poor prognosis (median overall survival 14.5 - 18.5 months). In addition to...

Effectiveness Study of Nivolumab Compared to Placebo in Prevention of Recurrent Melanoma After Complete Resection of Stage IIB/C Melanoma
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of nivolumab adjuvant immunotherapy compared to placebo in adults and pediatric participants after complete resection of Stage IIB/C melanoma with no evidence of disease (NED) who are at high risk for recurrence.

Effect of Diet on the Immune System in Patients With Stage III-IV Melanoma Receiving Immunotherapy, DIET Study
This phase II trial investigates the possible immune effects of two different diets targeting the gut microbiome in patients with stage III-IV melanoma that has been removed by surgery (resectable), has spread to other places in the body (metastatic), or is unable to be removed by surgery (unresectable), and who are being treated with the immunotherapy drugs pembrolizumab or nivolumab as part of their standard of care. Both diets are whole foods diets that meet the American Cancer Society recommendations for cancer patients, but they will vary in fiber content. The purpose of this trial is to learn about the effects of dietary interventions on the structure and function of the...

Efficacy and Safety of 177Lu-edotreotide PRRT in GEP-NET Patients
The purpose of the study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) with 177Lu-Edotreotide compared to targeted molecular therapy with Everolimus in patients with inoperable, progressive, somatostatin receptor-positive (SSTR+), neuroendocrine tumours of gastroenteric or pancreatic origin (GEP-NET).

Efficacy and Safety of Inetetamab Plus Pyrotiniband and Capecitabine in HER2-positive Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients With or Without Brain Metastasis
This study intends to include HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer patients (with or without brain metastasis) who have become resistant to previous treatment with trastuzumab. It will use pertuzumab in combination with pyrotinib and capecitabine to observe efficacy and safety. The choice of capecitabine as the chemotherapy drug is mainly based on the following reasons: ① it has been less commonly used as neoadjuvant treatment, making it less prone to cross-resistance; ② its oral formulation is convenient for administration, making it more acceptable to patients; ③ previous studies have shown good efficacy when combined with pyrotinib; ④ previous research in breast cancer...

Efficacy and Safety of Pembrolizumab in Combination With Lenvatinib in Metastatic Uveal MElanoma Patients (PLUME)
Because we suspect that the benefit of anti-PD-1 in metastatic UM patients could vary according to previous exposure to Tebentafusp (better efficacy of anti-PD-1 after Tebentafusp), the combination of pembrolizumab and lenvatinib will be assessed in two independent cohorts: cohort 1 with Tebentafusp-naive patients, and cohort 2 with patients previously treated by Tebentafusp. The study is a monocentric, phase II trial with a single-arm of treatment in each cohort. Liver MRI and chest-abdomen-pelvis CT will be performed every 9 weeks until progressive disease (PD), followed by a Follow-up visit within 28 days after last treatment intake. Survival status will be registered after...

Efficacy of Tislelizumab and Spartalizumab Across Multiple Cancer-types in Patients with PD1-high MRNA Expressing Tumors
This is an open-label, parallel group, non-randomized, multicenter phase II study to evaluate the efficacy of spartalizumab (cohorts 1 and 2) and tislelizumab (cohort 3) in monotherapy in patients with PD1-high-expressing tumors.

Efficiency of Vaccination with Lysate-loaded Dendritic Cells in Patients with Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma
The primary objective of the study is to determine whether overall survival of newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients treated with lysate-loaded, mature dendritic cell vaccines as add-on to the standard of care consisting of resection, radiotherapy with concomitant temozolomide chemotherapy and subsequent adjuvant temozolomide chemotherapy is superior to the treatment with the standard of care alone.
