This is a cross-sectional study of adults with diabetes to determine the association of cystatin C with bone mineral density(BMD). All the inpatient in the department of endocrinology and metabolism in the fifth affiliated hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University will be screened for 5 to 6 months. Those
3.4.1 Pharmaceutical and Therapeutic Background The importance of intact immune surveillance in controlling outgrowth of neoplastic transformation has been known for decades. Accumulating evidence shows a correlation between tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in cancer tissue and favorable
1. Mechanism of action. The study drug, Ad/PNP-F-araAMP (Fludarabine phosphate) consists of a nonreplicating adenoviral vector expressing the E. coli purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) injected intratumorally followed by intravenous administration of F-araAMP. This combination generates
1. Current Knowledge and Rationale Gastro-esophageal (GE) cancers are a highly aggressive disease and are one of the major causes of cancer-related death in the world. Despite improvements in surgical and radiation techniques and the availability of newer agents, the prognosis of recurrent GE
The importance of intact immune surveillance in controlling outgrowth of neoplastic transformation has been known for decades. Accumulating evidence shows a correlation between tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in cancer tissue and favorable prognosis in various malignancies. In particular, the
Background:
- Primary gliomas are an incurable disease in spite of aggressive multimodality therapy consisting of craniotomy, irradiation, and chemotherapy. Therapeutic options for patients with recurrent glioma are limited, and there is an unmet need to identify more effective agents.
- LB100, a
The study will be conducted in two parts. Part A is a dose escalation study to determine a safe and tolerable dose of ASN003 for subjects with advanced solid tumors. Part A will also characterize the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ASN003 through blood sampling and optional biopsies.. Part
Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a B cell malignancy characterized by the presence of bone marrow infiltration by clonal plasma cells that generally secrete a monoclonal component in the serum or urine. It is the second most frequent hematological malignancy, after non-Hodgkin lymphomas, and accounts
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess the progression-free survival (PFS) in three separate patient populations with uveal melanoma: Patients on COHORT 1 (guanine nucleotide binding protein [G protein], q polypeptide [Gnaq]/G protein, alpha 11 [Gna11] mutant uveal melanoma; temozolomide [TMZ]/dacarbazine
Historically, metastatic melanoma has been associated with a poor prognosis. Recently, numerous immunotherapeutic agents, particularly checkpoint inhibitors, have moved to the forefront of therapy. Checkpoint inhibitors such as ipilimumab, pembrolizumab, and nivolumab have revolutionized the
1. Design: A randomized, controlled, open, parallel group study to assess the survival and disease-free period or progression in patients with advanced CGE over a period of 2 years.
2. Under study: Patients diagnosed in histology for the first time, advanced-stage CGE and fulfilling the inclusion
A total of 12 patients with skin- or superficial lymph node metastases with a diameter of at least 1 cm will be chosen for sorafenib therapy over 56 days per os twice daily with each 400 mg and, additionally, on day 14 and 42, intravenous dacarbazine infusion (volume depending on the body surface
OBJECTIVES:

- To confirm the activity of sodium stibogluconate in augmenting cytokine effects.
Secondary
- To quantify the effects of sodium stibogluconate on interferon alfa-2b
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine if monoclonal antibody Ch14.18 (dinutuximab) + cytokines + isotretinoin (13-cis-retinoic acid, or RA) improves event free survival after myeloablative therapy and stem cell rescue as compared to RA alone, in high risk neuroblastoma patients who have achieved a
