VI. ONGOING PROJECTS AND SUPERVISIONS

Dr. Denis Leonardo Fontes Jardim currently leads and supervises several research and clinical projects that span translational oncology, clinical trial innovation, and biomarker discovery.

  1. PhD Supervision – Frederico Leal
    Project: Urinary microbiome as a biomarker for renal cell carcinoma
    This doctoral project, conducted at Hospital Sírio-Libanês, explores the relationship between the urinary microbiome and renal cell carcinoma, aiming to identify microbial signatures that could serve as diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers.
  2. PhD Supervision – Camila Bragança
    Project: Determinants of tumor mutational burden (TMB) as a biomarker for solid tumors
    Based at Hospital Sírio-Libanês, this study investigates molecular and genomic factors that influence TMB levels and their potential role in predicting response to immunotherapy across different tumor types.
  3. Research Project – Principal Investigator
    Project: Artificial Intelligence as a biomarker in patients with prostate cancer treated during the LACOG-0415 clinical trial
    Conducted under the LACOG-GU network, this project integrates AI-driven analytical models to assess treatment outcomes and predict disease progression in prostate cancer.
  4. Clinical Trial Proposal – Principal Investigator
    Project: Fezolinetant for the treatment of vasomotor symptoms related to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in prostate cancer (The FEZO-PRO Trial)
    Developed within LACOG-GU, this proposed study evaluates Fezolinetant as a novel therapeutic option for alleviating vasomotor symptoms associated with ADT in prostate cancer patients.
  5. Clinical Trial – Principal Investigator
    Project: Salvage Artificial Intelligence Predictive Model (ArteraAI) for Salvage Radiation Strategy Decision (SMART)
    In collaboration with LACOG-GU, this ongoing trial utilizes AI-based predictive modeling (ArteraAI) to optimize radiation therapy decision-making in the salvage setting for prostate cancer.
