General aim of the study is the improvement of the clinical knowledge of ultra-rare inherited metabolic and degenerative neurological diseases (prevalence less than 5:100,000) in adulthood through the systematic longitudinal collection of clinical, laboratory and instrumental data.
Cavernous sinus meningiomas are close to optic nerve, pituitary gland, cranial nerve, and hippocampi. The doses delivered to these structures are crucial and radiotherapy of cavernous sinus meningiomas exposes patients to late secondary effects (pituitary deficit, nerve palsy, cognitive impairment…). In 2012, Gondi reported that a dose given to 40% of the bilateral hippocampi greater than 7.3 Gy is associated with long-term impairment in list-learning delayed recall after FSRT for benign or low-grade adult brain tumors. There is no published or recruiting prospective study evaluating the impact of proton-therapy or conventional irradiation on neurocognitive function for...
The goal of this Long-Term Follow-Up Trial is to assess long-term safety and efficacy of Miltenyi CAR T treatment.
This protocol is designed as a long-term follow-up study of participants who will receive CAR-T cells as part of a clinical trial at the Medical College of Wisconsin/ Froedtert Hospital. The clinical trials include the following: Phase 1 Study of CAR-20/19-T Cells in Patients with Relapsed Refractory B Cell Malignancies (NCT03019055); Phase I Trial of BCMA-TGF-BETA CAR-T Cells in Relapsed, Refractory Myeloma (NCT05976555); CAR20.19.22 T-cells in Relapsed, Refractory B-cell Malignancies (NCT05094206); LV20.19 CAR T-Cells in Combination With Pirtobrutinib for Relapsed, Refractory B-cell Malignancies (NCT05990465); CAR-20/19-T Cells in Patients With Relapsed Refractory B Cell...
This is a prospective longitudinal study to access postoperative 2-year quality of life in patients who undergo endonasal endoscopic approach surgeries of the skull base.
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and anaplastic astrocytoma (AA) are the most common primary malignant brain tumors. Survival of patients with these brain tumors is directly related to the extent of resection. Consequently, a great deal of effort has been directed at developing techniques and technologies that allow more extensive, safe resections. This study will test a loupe-based wearable device in the clinical setting and compare its accuracy with a large operative microscope to identify tumor tissues. Postoperative histopathological analysis on tumor tissues will be used as gold standards for comparison. The outcome from this study will be a low-cost,...
The clinical investigation is a non-randomized, multicenter, open-label, prospective, exposure-time escalation clinical investigation. The clinical investigation is designed to assess the clinical safety and performance of the Oncomagnetic Device.
The purpose of this study is to test the effects of a drug called Voraxaze when it's routinely given in combination with methotrexate and rituximab, the standard treatment for CNSL.
Background: A neuroendocrine tumor is a rare type of tumor. It comes from body cells called neuroendocrine cells. Sometimes, these tumors develop in the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas. Researchers want to find out if a combination of drugs can shrink these tumors. Objective: To learn if people with certain neuroendocrine tumors can take a combination of 2 drugs, Lutathera and Olaparib, without having severe side effects, and if this treatment makes the tumors shrink. Eligibility: Adults 18 and older who have a neuroendocrine tumor in the pancreas or intestine that cannot be cured by surgery and has somatostatin receptors on the cells. Design: Eligible...
Background: Pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma are rare tumors. They usually form inside and near the adrenal gland or in the neck region. Not all these tumors can be removed with surgery, and there are no good treatments if the disease has spread. Researchers think a new drug may be able to help. Objective: To learn the safety and tolerability of Lu-177-DOTATATE. Also, to see if it improves the length of time it takes for the cancer to return. Eligibility: Adults who have an inoperable tumor of the study cancer that can be detected with Ga-68-DOTATATE PET/CT imaging Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history, physical exam, and blood...
