This study is a multicenter, single-arm, prospective phase II clinical trial that evaluates the efficacy and safety of an intensive conditioning regimen with thiotepa combined with busulfan, fludarabine, and cytarabine for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the treatment of myeloid malignancies with extramedullary involvement. The conditioning regimen includes thiotepa at a dose of 5mg/kg/d from d -9 to d -8 (2 days), fludarabine at 30mg/m2/d from d -7 to d -3 (5 days), cytarabine at 1-1.5g/m2/d from d -7 to d -3 (5 days), and busulfan at 3.2mg/kg/d from d -5 to d -3 (3 days). Conditioning begins on day -9, and donor hematopoietic stem cell infusion is performed on day 0. All patients will undergo bone marrow examination on day 14 and day 28 post-transplant, followed by bone marrow examinations every 30 days within the first year after transplantation, and every 60 days within the second year after transplantation. If disease relapse is suspected during the follow-up period, bone marrow or extramedullary relapse site examinations will be conducted at any time. The primary study endpoints are the 1-year and 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates post-transplant. Secondary study endpoints include the incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) within 180 days post-transplant, cumulative relapse rates at 1 year and 2 years post-transplant, 1-year and 2-year overall survival (OS), graft-versus-host disease-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS), non-relapse mortality (NRM), cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD, and the incidence of Cytomegalovirus （CMV）and Epstein-Barr virus（EBV）reactivation within 1 year.

Cutaneous melanoma is a bad prognosis skin cancer, which can be treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), such as anti-PD-1 (nivolumab, nivo) and anti-CTLA-4 (ipilimumab, ipi). However, about 50% of patients do not respond or relapse within 3 years post therapy induction, and immune-related adverse events (irAEs), such as colitis, are triggered and can be treated with TNF inhibitor (TNFi; ie, infliximab, inflix). The pharmacodynamic impact of TNFi on the immune and clinical responses remain to be clarified. The investigators previously demonstrated that TNFi enhance the efficacy of ICI in mouse melanoma models. Based on preclinical findings, the investigators implemented two clinical trials in advanced melanoma patients, TICIMEL and MELANFalpha. In TICIMEL, patients are concomitantly treated with TNFi \[certolizumab (certo) or inflix\] and ICI (ipi+nivo). In MELANFalpha, patients are treated with ICI alone. Preliminary results show both tritherapies promote systemic MART-1 specific CD8 T cell responses and that certo but not inflix may improve ICI efficacy and Th1 responses. In mouse melanoma models, TNFi enhance the response to ICI. Investigators' primary objective is to decipher how certolizumab and infliximab influence ICI-dependent anti-tumor immune responses in advanced melanoma patients. The secondary objectives are to analyse the cellular and molecular impact anti-TNF have on ICI-dependent anti-melanoma immune responses and clinical activities (irAEs and efficacy). By combining mouse and human data as well ex vivo functional assays, the investigators will dissect the impact treatments have on anti-melanoma immune responses by flow cytometry and transcriptomic analyses. The investigators expect to clarify (i) the mechanisms by which TNFi enhance ICI efficacy, (ii) identify the best TNFi to be combined with ICI in advanced melanoma patients and (iii) discover TNF-dependent biomarkers of resistance.

Cutaneous melanoma is the most aggressive malignancy in skin cancers. Cutaneous melanoma is a rare disease in Taiwan with an incidence rate of around 1/100,000. Acral lentiginous melanoma is the most common subtype and comprises more than half of cutaneous melanoma in Asia including Taiwan but only 1% in Caucasians. In addition, mucosal melanoma accounts for more than 20% of malignancy melanoma in Taiwan but only 1% in Caucasians. Acral and mucosal melanomas have distinct epidemiological, clinical, pathological and genetic features from non-acral melanoma which is commonly seen in Western countries. Comparing with melanoma in Caucasians, Asian melanoma has higher recurrence rate after primary surgery, lower response rate to immunotherapy, and shorter progression-free survival for immunotherapy and targeted therapy leading generally poor survival outcomes regardless stage.

This pilot study initiates a research program testing the early technical and clinical performance of a novel procedure for MRI-guided high-dose-rate (HDR) prostate brachytherapy. Testing will proceed in two cohorts of patients. In Arm 1, patients with locally recurrent prostate cancer after radiotherapy will receive tumor-targeted salvage HDR brachytherapy. Arm 1 of the study will be coordinated and closely integrated with a separate concurrent study of MRI-guided prostate biopsy, which will be performed prior to accrual to Arm 1 of this trial (UHN 05-0641-C). In arm 2, patients with locally advanced prostate cancer will receive a boost of prostate-targeted HDR brachytherapy during external beam radiotherapy.
This technique will be prospectively evaluated in up to 500 patients. Preliminary data acquired in this pilot study will determine the technical limits of MRI guided HDR brachytherapy and will be critical for the judicious conduct of a subsequent phase II clinical trial.
This proposal is innovative in two fundamental ways: MRI-guidance, and specific tumor targeting for HDR brachytherapy. Successful completion of this study will further individualize local therapy, not only for the benefit of the proportion of cancer patients for whom initial radiotherapeutic interventions have failed, but also provide valuable technical and clinical validation that these novel image-guided (IG) approaches are clinically feasible and could be applied more broadly in prostate cancer therapy.
Eligibility: 18 Years to · Male · * Prior enrollment of UHN 05-0641-C or UHN 12-5015-C (Arm 1)

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of short-course radiotherapy combined with CAPOX plus bevacizumab with or without a PD-1 inhibitor in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC).
