COllaborative Network for NEurooncology Clinical Trials (CONNECT)

CONNECT’s goal is to establish an international clinical trials collaboration for the conduct of scientifically rational, pilot studies to assess feasibility and early efficacy of incorporating promising novel agents to established frontline therapeutic regimens in children with newly-diagnosed, high-risk brain tumors. This collaboration builds on the existing infrastructure ...

Targeting receptor tyrosine kinase signalling pathways in DIPG by using ...

Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) is the most dismal paediatric brain tumour, characterised by universal mortality and an average survival of less than one year. Several factors contribute to the unique challenges in treating DIPG, including localisation, infiltrative pattern of growth and chemoresistance. Treatment options are limited to palliative radiotherapy. ...

Targeting the thioredoxin system as a novel strategy for DIPG

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is the most aggressive of all childhood brain cancers. Radiotherapy treatment is palliative, and chemotherapy is ineffective. We have found that both DIPG cells and DIPG animal models are exquisitely sensitive to auranofin. Auranofin is a gold containing anti-inflammatory compound previously used to treat rheumatoid ...

SARS-CoV-2 infection in brain cancer children: clinical characteristics and transmission ...

As at end of May 2020, Italy is one of the country’s most affected by COVID-19 worldwide, with ~230k cases and ~34k deaths attributed to the virus. The Milan area, being one of the epicenters of the Italian epidemic, is experiencing significant pressure on its health system, impacting the ...

Pilot Trial to Evaluate the Feasibility and Clinical Utility of ...

Abstract: Outcomes in children with solid tumors that are already spread at the time of diagnosis or that do not respond with chemotherapy are generally poor and attempts to intensify treatment have not improved survival.  Personalized medicine is an emerging field of medicine that uses genetic information obtained from ...

Enhancing response to radiation therapy by increasing tumor oxygenation in ...

The survival time for patients with pediatric high-grade glioma (pHGG) remains devastatingly short, in large part because pHGG tumors become resistant to radiation, the only available therapy with confirmed efficacy. This radioresistance is triggered by regions of hypoxia (low oxygen) that develop within the tumor as it grows. We found ...
