The purpose of this research is to test whether participating in either a physical activity intervention or a series of educational classes will help to preserve exercise capability, heart function, brain-based activities (like memory), and quality of life. Participants will be randomized to 1 of 2 pathways: - First pathway consists of organized health workshops. These workshops are intended to provide information on topics such as proper nutrition, management of stress, sleep practices, and emphasis on a healthy lifestyle that may help the participants through cancer treatment. This pathway will also test whether stretching may help participants through...
This is a phase 1 dose-escalation study to determine the maximum tolerated dose of the PARP inhibitor olaparib in combination with PRRT in patients with a well-differentiated advanced gastroenteropancreatic NET (GEP NET), progressive after PRRT. As secondary objectives, efficacy, pharmacokinetics and biomarker response will be investigated.
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is an aggressive extranodal non- Hodgkin lymphoma exclusively localized into the nervous system. The aim of this study is to evaluate the MRI imaging characteristics of the peritumoral area (PTA) and to correlate this information to pathological findings.
Impairments in aspects of social cognition are disorder-transcending: these have been demonstrated in various neurological disorders, such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke, brain tumours (both low grade glioma's and meningioma's) and multiple sclerosis (MS). Social cognition involves processing of social information, in particular the abilities to perceive social signals, understand others and respond appropriately (Adolphs 2001). Crucial aspects of social cognition are the recognition of facial expressions of emotions, perspective taking (also referred to as mentalizing or Theory of Mind), and empathy. Impairments in social cognition can have a large negative impact...
Randomized phase II trial. The study aims to investigate a different and potentially safer radio therapeutic treatment method for brain metastases. The current standard of stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) in one or three fractions is compared to fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (fSRT) in five fractions.
The aim of this trial is to test a new potential treatment, skullremodeling surgery (SR-surgery) combined with tumor treating fields (TTFields), for patients with first recurrence of malignant brain tumor (first recurrence of glioblastoma). Glioblastoma is one of the most malignant cancers. TTFields is a new treatment for brain cancer (glioblastoma), which is used in additional to surgery (removal of the tumor), chemotherapy and radiation. TTFields work by sending alternating current to the tumor. The current disrupts cell division and thus prevents cancer growths. Electrodes are placed on the scalp and the current is delivered via a small portable battery (1kg). Treatment...
To collect and preserve glioblastoma tissue during standard of care tumor resection surgery and blood for future molecular and genetic testing. Tissue for research will be collected from three different regions within the same tumor to study how these regions differ in their structure, DNA, and RNA and also to compare the data obtained from this testing to imaging data found in the medical record. The goal of this study is to help us better understand what the glioblastoma tumor tissue looks like and how it functions. This understanding can lead to new therapies for the treatment of glioblastoma in the future.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about physical activity's effect on health in people who have had surgery of a non-functioning pituitary adenoma. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do physical activity increase quality of life? - Do physical activity increase general health, cardiovascular fitness, self-efficacy and muscle strength and reduce fatigue and cardiovascular risk profile? Participants will at the start of the the study, at 6 months follow up and 12 months follow up: - Fill out health surveys - Perform a cycling test, hand strength test, chair stand test and wear and accelerometer for a week - Undergo a dual...
This research study is studying several investigational drugs as a possible treatment for Glioblastoma (GBM). The drugs involved in this study are : - Abemaciclib - Temozolomide (temodar) - Neratinib - CC115 - QBS10072S
A study to determine the feasibility and safety of individualized cancer stem cell targeted therapy based on high-throughput functional profiling of FDA/EMA-approved drugs in patients with GBM that has recurred or progressed following standards-of-care (RT, TMZ).
