The aim of this clinical study is to evaluate the efficacy of reinforced inpatient aftercare versus usual care on the percentage of days of abstinence during the first year following withdrawal in adults with alcohol use disorders undergoing inpatient withdrawal. The hypothesis is that reinforced post-withdrawal follow-up, of the motivational interview type, during the first 4 months following hospitalisation, in addition to the usual care, would allow : * Increase the percentage of days of abstinence in the year following withdrawal. * Reduce the rate of relapse in the year following withdrawal. * An increase in the cumulative and maximum duration of abstinence, an increase in motivation to maintain the change initiated and a reduction in the use of other substances in the year following withdrawal. * A reduction in the impact of risk factors involved in the relapse process in the year following withdrawal. All participants will have assessments to monitor their abstinence and consumption. In addition to their assessments, the experimental group will have motivational talks once every 15 days.

The purpose of this gene therapy research study is to test the safety and tolerability of using a new treatment called autologous T lymphocyte chimeric antigen receptor cells against the B7-H3 antigen (iC9.CAR.B7-H3 T cells) in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma that came back after receiving standard therapy for this cancer. The iC9.CAR.B7-H3 treatment is experimental and has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

This study aims to investigate the relationship between facial type and relapse of dentition post-orthodontically during the retention phase. According to the retention theorem "teeth which have been moved through orthodontic treatment tend to naturally return to their original position. It is hypothesized that significant differences will exist in tooth movement patterns between horizontal and vertical growers, with horizontal growers exhibiting more pronounced tooth movement in the vertical plane particularly in the overbite as compared to the vertical growers . Furthermore, it is expected that facial type will influence the stability of orthodontic treatment outcomes, with long-faced individuals showing more relapse of mandibular incisor alignment and crowding. By exploring this relationship, this study aims to provide valuable insights into the factors influencing orthodontic treatment outcomes and stability. With long-faced individuals exhibiting more mandibular backward rotation and short-faced individuals showing forward rotation, which increases the risk of deep bite . Additionally, understanding these factors is crucial for orthodontists to predict and prevent potential relapse, ensuring optimal treatment results and long-term stability. Hence, the present trial will be undertaken to assess the changes and compare If there is any difference in tooth movement in 3-Dimensional superimposition in the dentition in horizontal and vertical growers post orthodontically over a period of retention phase.

To develop and externally validate a machine learning model for predicting the 1-year risk of relapse in patients with stable ABPA, and to further evaluate its value in risk stratification and clinical decision-making.

Approximately 20-50% of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) develop distant metastasis after curative surgery, and those with early relapse within one year of completing adjuvant chemotherapy (XELOX or FOLFOX) have a particularly poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Standard second-line therapy with FOLFIRI plus targeted therapy (bevacizumab or cetuximab) often yields suboptimal outcomes in this population. Moreover, over 95% of these patients have pMMR/MSS tumors, which are inherently resistant to immune checkpoint inhibitor monotherapy. This phase II, prospective, randomized trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adding serplulimab, a PD-1 inhibitor, to second-line chemotherapy plus targeted therapy in patients with early-relapse CRC after adjuvant chemotherapy. Eligible patients with pMMR/MSS or MSI-L tumors will be randomly assigned (1:1) to either the experimental arm (serplulimab plus FOLFIRI and targeted therapy) or the control arm (FOLFIRI plus targeted therapy alone). Randomization is stratified by primary tumor location (left vs. right colon), initial disease status (liver-only vs. extrahepatic metastasis), and RAS status (wild-type vs. mutant). A total of 40 patients (20 per arm) will be enrolled using a Pick-the-Winner design. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints include objective response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), R0 resection rate, and safety (NCI-CTCAE v5.0). Exploratory biomarker analyses in tumor tissue and blood (e.g., PD-L1 expression, tumor mutational burden, lymphocyte subsets, cytokines, TCR sequencing, circulating tumor DNA, and gut microbiome) will be performed to identify potential predictors of response and resistance. This is the first prospective randomized study specifically targeting early-relapse CRC after adjuvant chemotherapy. The findings will provide high-level evidence on whether adding PD-1 blockade to standard chemo-targeted therapy can improve outcomes in this high-risk, understudied population and may inform future phase III trials.

The transplantation of allogeneic haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) can lead to serious complications after transplantation, such as graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), infections and relapse due to immunosuppression. Invariant NKT cells (iNKT cells) play a pivotal role in modulating the immune response and have been demonstrated to be instrumental in the pathogenesis of GvHD, cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, and relapse. Their levels are associated with the development of these complications. This multicentre study aims to test the feasibility of standardising iNKT cell monitoring and to investigate the association between iNKT cell levels and post-transplant complications.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether combining Loncastuximab Tesirine with Epcoritamab is tolerable and effective for reducing and/or eliminating lymphoma cells in the body.

The investigators conduct a single-center, prospective, observational study to explore the value of EUS-guided portal vein circulating tumor cells (PV-CTCs) and their subtypes combined with multi-omics tests in the early warning of recurrence and metastasis of resectable pancreatic cancer(RPC) and borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC).

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of using a new treatment called autologous T lymphocyte chimeric antigen receptor cells against the CSPG4 antigen (iC9.CAR-CSPG4 T cells) in patients with head and neck cancer that came back after receiving standard therapy for this cancer. The iC9.CAR-CSPG4 treatment is experimental and has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. How many (dose) of the iC9.CAR. CSPG4 T cells are safe to use in patients without causing too many side effects, and what is the maximum dose that could be tolerated will be investigated. The information collected from the study would help cancer patients in the future. There are two parts to this study. In part 1, blood will be collected to prepare the iC9.CAR-CSPG4 T cells. Disease fighting T cells will be isolated and modified to prepare the iC9.CAR-CSPG4 T cells. In part 2, the iC9.CAR-CSPG4 T cells are given by infusion after completion of lymphodepletion chemotherapy. The data from the dose escalation will be used to determine a recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), which will be decided based on the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Additionally, recommended phase 2 dose will be tested. Eligible subjects will receive lymphodepletion chemotherapy standard followed by infusion of iC9-CAR.CSPG4 T cells. After treatment completion or discontinuation, subjects will be followed since involving gene transfer experiments.

This study consists of two phases, phase Ib and phase II. The primary objective of phase Ib is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of daratumumab in patients with refractory aplastic anemia. The primary objective of phase II is to preliminarily assess the efficacy of multiple doses of daratumumab in patients with refractory aplastic anemia. Secondary objectives include evaluation of other efficacy endpoints, safety (phase II), and pharmacodynamic characteristics of multiple doses of daratumumab in these patients. The exploratory objective is to assess biological functional changes in peripheral blood and bone marrow before and after daratumumab treatment.

Despite the progress in the therapy, Hodgkin's Lymphoma (HL) remains fatal for more than 15% of patients. Even in patients who are cured, the morbidity of therapy is substantial and long-lasting. New therapeutic agents are required therefore not only to further reduce mortality but also to alleviate morbidity. The majority of HL express the CD30 antigens. CD30 expression is routinely used for the diagnosis of HL. Preclinical observations support CD30 as a viable target of CAR-T therapy. This phase Ib/II study was conducted based on these observations. The purpose of this study is to determine the tolerability of ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4 cells in subjects with Hodgkin's Lymphoma and identify a recommended dose for further. This is a single-center, open-label phase Ib/II trial that uses a 3+3 design to identify a recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4 cells in Hodgkin's Lymphoma. The phase II portion is designed to determine the PFS of ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4 in Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Subjects will be enrolled on 1 of 3 dose levels as determined by a 3+3 design. Up to 25 evaluable subjects may then be enrolled in the phase II portion of the study. Subjects may have cells procured to manufacture the ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4 cells if they meet eligibility for procurement. During the time period necessary to manufacture the ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4 cells, Subjects will be allowed to receive standard-of-care bridging therapy at the discretion of their local oncologist. Prior to cell infusion, subjects will undergo additional eligibility evaluations, and then if eligible, will undergo lymphodepletion followed by cell infusion 2-14 days later. Subjects will then be followed for 15 years as is required for studies involving gene transfer experiments.

The standard of care for glioblastoma (GBM) treatment involves maximal resection followed by concomitant radiotherapy and temozolomide. Progression-free survival (PFS) with this treatment is only 6.9 months and relapse is inevitable. At relapse, there is no consensus regarding the optimal therapeutic strategy. The rationale behind the fact that limited chemotherapy agents are available in the treatment of malignant gliomas is related to the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which impedes drug entry to the brain. Intraarterial (IA) chemotherapy allows to circumvent this. Using IA delivery of carboplatin, can produce responses in 70% of patients for a median PFS of 5 months. Median survival from study entry was 11 months, whereas the overall survival (OS) 23 months. How can the OS and PFS be improved? By combining chemotherapeutic agents with different mechanisms of action. Study design: In this phase II trial, treatment will be offered at relapse. Surgery will be performed for cytoreduction if it is warranted, followed with a combination IA carboplatin + IA Cealyx (liposomal doxorubicin) or IA carboplatin + IA etoposide phosphate. Toxicity will be assessed according to the NCIC common toxicity criteria. Treatment will consist in either IA carboplatin (400 mg/m\^2) + IA Cealyx (30 mg/m\^2) or IA carboplatin (400 mg/m\^2) + IA etoposide phosphate (400 mg/m\^2) every 4-6 weeks (1 cycle). Up to twelve cycles will be offered. Outcome measurements: Tumor response will be evaluated using the RANO criteria by magnetic resonance imaging monthly. Primary outcome will PFS and tumor response. Secondary outcome will include median OS, toxicity, quality of life (QOL), neurocognition (NC). Putting together these data will allow to correlate clinical and radiological response to QOL and NC.

Treatment of glioblastoma involves an optimal surgery, followed by a combination of radiation and temozolomide chemotherapy. Progression-free survival (PFS) with this treatment is only 6.9 months and relapse is the norm. The rationale behind the fact that limited chemotherapy agents are available in the treatment of malignant gliomas is related to the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which limits drug entry to the brain. Intraarterial (IA) chemotherapy allows to circumvent this. Using IA delivery of carboplatin, the investigators have observed responses in 70% of patients for a median PFS of 5 months. Median survival from study entry was 11 months, whereas the overall survival 23 months. How can this be improved? By coupling radiation with a chemotherapeutic which is also a potent radiosensitizer such as carboplatin. Study design: In this phase I/II trial, patients will be treated at recurrence; a surgery will be performed for cytoreduction and to obtain tumor sample, followed with a combination of re-irradiation and IA carboplatin chemotherapy. A careful escalation scheme from 1.5Gy/fraction up to 3.5Gy/fraction will allow the investigators to determine the optimal re-irradiation dose (10 fractions of radiation over 2 weeks). Toxicity will be assessed according to the NCIC common toxicity criteria. Combined with radiation, patients will receive 2 treatments of IA carboplatin, 400 mg/m2, 4 hours prior to the first and the sixth radiation fraction. IA treatments will then be continued on a monthly basis, up to a total of 12 months, or until progression. Outcome measurements: Tumor response will be evaluated using the RANO criteria by magnetic resonance imaging monthly. The investigators will also acquire a sequence that enables the measurement of cerebral blood flow, cerebral blood volume and blood vessel permeability that are all relevant to understand the delivery of therapeutics to the CNS. Primary outcome will be OS and PFS. Secondary outcome will be QOL, neurocognition, and carboplatin delivery. In vitro intracellular carboplatin accumulation: Tumor samples from re-operation will be be analyzed for intracellular Pt concentration by ICP-MS. The amount of Pt bound to DNA will be measured. The level of apoptosis will be determined for each of the sample. Putting together these data will allow to correlate clinical and radiological response to QOL, NC (MOCA), and to delivery surrogates for the IA infusion and intracellular penetration of carboplatin.

Long-term studies have shown that various occlusal changes occur after the active phase of orthodontic treatment. some of these changes are unwanted changes and are considered as relapse The retention appliances are used to maintain the arch dimensions and alignment of the teeth after completion of the orthodontic treatment. One indicator of the functional state and health of the masticatory system is maximum voluntary bite force (MVBF). Its values vary in accordance to the location of measurement (highest at the first molar, lower at the incisors). People with pronounced horizontal craniofacial growth have somewhat higher values of MVBF, and those with vertical growth have lower values than do those with an average growth pattern. Clinical case reports and descriptive histologic data exist suggesting that bone and tooth remodeling persist for extended periods after removal of appliance or deactivation. A reflection of bone remodelling can be found in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of moving teeth, with decrease or increase in the concentration of biomarker. This prompted us to evaluate the expression of variation in bone turnover marker levels (CTX-Bone resorption marker and BALP -Bone formation marker ) during the retention period. The International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) and International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) have recommended C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX) as one of the reference for BTMs. Hence, The present trial will be undertaken to assess the changes and compare if there is any difference in bite force and change in level of bone biomarker biomarker CTX type 1 collagen(C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen and bone specific alkaline phosphatase(BALP) in post orthodontic treatment hypodivergent and hyperdivergent cases using beggs retainer over 12 months of period of retention.

Since the discovery that Treg suppress anti-tumor immune responses, inhibiting their function has become a major challenge for the development of efficient immunotherapy for cancer. In humans, we previously reported the positive results of a first clinical trial using Treg depletion for anti-tumor response amplification in the field of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The present project aims at developing this anti-tumor immunotherapeutic strategy in the same setting, i.e. donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) for relapsing hematological malignancies after HSCT, using a new selection marker: CD127. The choice of this new strategy is supported by our results of a retrospective clinical study and pre-clinical data. Using human cells, this studies demonstrated, in vitro and in vivo in animal murine models, that Treg depletion through CD127 positive selection is much more efficient to improve allogeneic immune responses of donor T-cells as compared to the previous strategy using the CD25 marker.
