NCT07225621
The purpose of this research is to test an investigational device using ultrasound along with an investigational drug to see if it is useful in treating glioblastoma following standard of care therapy surgery and chemoradiation. This study is evaluating an experimental treatment for glioblastoma that uses an investigational drug (5-ALA) combined with a non-invasive ultrasound device (LIDU) to target tumor cells. Patients meeting the entry requirements to be in the study, will be equally randomly assigned to receive the study device plus the active study drug plus active ultrasound, or to a "sham" procedure where the ultrasound is not being activated and the study drug is a placebo (looks the same but does not contain active drug). Neither the patient or the investigator will know who is in the active group or not. Both groups will continue to receive the standard therapy of oral Temozolomide.
NCT04559139
This phase II/III trial compares the effect of adding chemotherapy before and after surgery versus after surgery alone (usual treatment) in treating patients with stage II-III gallbladder cancer. Chemotherapy drugs, such as gemcitabine and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller; therefore, may reduce the extent of surgery. Additionally, it may make it easier for the surgeon to distinguish between normal and cancerous tissue. Giving chemotherapy after surgery may kill any remaining tumor cells. This study will determine whether giving chemotherapy before surgery increases the length of time before the cancer may return and whether it will increase a patient's life span compared to the usual approach.
