Immune and Inflammatory Indices in Peripheral Blood Predict Prognosis of Glioma and Correlate With Grades and Subtypes
Our study considered the relevant immune and inflammatory indices, such as immunoglobulin kappa light chain, TNF, and CD4+ Helper T lymphocyte% in a multi-institutional study with a large patient cohort (n=1282) from the east, northeast, and southeast of China. Our study shed light on the association of peripheral immune system status with prognosis, tumor grade, and subtype of glioma, which can potentially benefit future diagnostic and prognostic processes of glioma given its noninvasive nature. Moreover, the preoperative inflammatory status can be leveraged for timely interventions to reverse the immunosuppressive status of cancer patients and enhance anti-tumour immunity of glioma.

Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Combined With Pemetrexed Intrathecal Injection for Leptomeningeal Metastasis From Solid Tumors
This is an open-label, single-arm, phase I/II trial of immune checkpoint inhibitor combined with pemetrexed intrathecal injection for leptomeningeal metastasis from solid tumors, to evaluate the safety and efficacy.

Immune Profiles Evolution Under Immunotherapy for Melanoma
The primary objective of the study aims to compare the immune profiles (circulating cytokines and lymphocytes) before and after (6 to 8 weeks) the first infusion of immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with melanoma treated in the adjuvant setting(cohort A) or in metastatic setting(cohort B); and to study the association of these immune profiles with relapse- or progression-free survival.

Immune Treatment of Brain Metastasis of Lung Cancer Combined With Large-segmentation Precision Radiotherapy
This is a prospective multicenter clinical study. This study aims to construct an auxiliary decision-making system for lung cancer immunotherapy combined with radiotherapy by fusing three modes of imagomics, clinicopathological features, and molecular pathological features.

Immunological Functionnal Test Validation to Predict Melanoma Metastatic Patient Response to Checkpoint Inhibitors
Checkpoint inhibitor such as anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1 are known to block inhibitory signals and increase the immune antimutoral response. Nivolumab and Ipilimumab association is considered as a more efficient immunotherapy to treat advanced melanoma. This combined immunotherapy is also responsible of severe immunes toxicyties. Identification of predictives biomarqueurs remains a challenge to predict the balance between tolerability and efficency. Previous data showed that advanced melanoma patient had lower level of Th1 cytokines that predict a less efficient immune system than healthy donors. The second point was that high level of Th1 and Th17 cytokines were correlate to a...

Immunotherapy and Carbon Ion Radiotherapy In Solid Cancers With Stable Disease
Immunotherapy has become the standard of care in different advanced malignancies. Its effectiveness in the palliative setting was demonstrated by several phase III trials. However, the response rate varies according to the cancer under study and to the line of treatment. A potential way to improve the activity of single agent immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is to enhance the clinical response through further antitumor agents, including radiotherapy. Studies showed that carbon ions may lead to a broader immunogenic response; for their dosimetric characteristics it is possible to reduce integral dose sparing immune cells to direct and sustain a tumor specific immune...

Immunotherapy Before and After Surgery for Treatment of Recurrent or Progressive High Grade Glioma in Children and Young Adults
This phase I trial studies the side effects of nivolumab before and after surgery in treating children and young adults with high grade glioma that has come back (recurrent) or is increasing in scope or severity (progressive). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

Immunotherapy for Malignant Pediatric Brain Tumors Employing Adoptive Cellular Therapy (IMPACT)
This is an open-label phase 1 safety and feasibility study that will employ multi-tumor antigen specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (TSA-T) directed against proteogenomically determined personalized tumor-specific antigens (TSA) derived from a patient's primary brain tumor tissues. Young patients with embryonal central nervous system (CNS) malignancies typically are unable to receive irradiation due to significant adverse effects and are treated with intensive chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell rescue; however, despite intensive therapy, many of these patients relapse. In this study, individualized TSA-T cells will be generated against proteogenomically...

Immunotherapy for Recurrent Ependymomas in Children Using Tumor Antigen Peptides with Imiquimod
The purpose of this study is to see if vaccination with HLA-A2 restricted peptides, combined with the immunoadjuvant imiquimod is safe and can induce immune responses in children with recurrent ependymomas. Eligible patients are stratified by primary tumor location.

Immunotherapy in Combination With Prednisone and Sirolimus for Kidney Transplant Recipients With Unresectable or Metastatic Skin Cancer
This phase II trial tests the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab with sirolimus and prednisone for the treatment of skin (cutaneous) cancer that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) or that has spread from where it first started to other places in the body (metastatic) in kidney transplant recipients. Immunotherapy with nivolumab and ipilimumab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Sirolimus and prednisone are immunosuppressants that are given to keep the body from rejecting the transplanted kidney. Giving nivolumab and ipilimumab in combination with sirolimus and prednisone may kill more cancer...
