This pilot trial studies how well telotristat etiprate works in treating participants with well differentiated neuroendocrine neoplasm that has spread to other places in the body and monitored by carbon C 11 alpha-methyltryptophan (AMT)-emission tomography (PET). Telotristat etiprate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Studying the changes within the tumor cells via AMT-PET may help doctors better understand how tumors respond to treatment with telotristat etiprate.
The study "A MultIceNTER Phase I Peptide VaCcine Trial to Exploit NeoePitope-Specific T Cells for the Treatment of H3K27M-Mutated Gliomas - (INTERCEPT H3)" is a non-controlled, open-label, single arm, multicenter phase I trial involving patients with gliomas carrying an H3.1K27M or H3.3K27M mutation.
This is to study if neoadjuvant atezolizumab therapy is beneficial for patients with recurrent glioblastoma and a low mutational burden.
This study examines tumor tissues and blood samples to aid in the development of therapies for brain cancer and other solid tumors. Studying samples of blood and tissue from patients with glioblastoma or other solid tumor in the laboratory may help doctors understand brain tumors and better inform future treatments.
The present pilot study aims to investigate a new strategy in the liquid biopsy protocol for the diagnosis of gliomas based on the detection of circulating tumor DNA in the blood of patients with brain lesions compatible with this type of tumor. In order to increase the sensitivity of the technique, the investigators will work with raw blood samples through minimally invasive procedures. The subsequent analysis will be done with digital PCR, due to its low detection limit. The mutational results of each patient's samples will be compared with those obtained from the corresponding tissue biopsies. This step will allow the team to...
This is a retrospective, exploratory, multi-center, translational, 3 cohorts case control matched study conducted in patients harboring a solid tumor with poor prognosis who presented a long-term (case) and standard (standard) survival. Patients with: - Cohort A: metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma - Cohort B: glioblastoma IDHwt - Cohort C: extensive small cell lung cancer This research aims to integrate data generated from clinical records, imaging, multi-omics and bioinformatics approaches to discriminate case and control and then to identify new therapeutic targets. Analyses will be...
This is a single-arm, single-center pilot study in which 10 patients with one to four brain metastases diagnosed on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within the past 30 days will be evaluated for study eligibility and enrolled as appropriate.
The primary protocol objective is to assess the impact of substituting pulsed reduced dose radiotherapy (pRDR) for standard radiation therapy in the upfront treatment of glioblastoma (GBM) on disease progression.
Background: Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is a rare cancer. It grows from tissue in the upper part of the nose cavity, related to the sense of smell and can affect a person s sense of smell. Researchers want to better understand the health problems of people with ONB. This may help them design better treatment and supportive care studies. Objective: To better understand ONB-the course of the disease, tumor characteristics, response to treatments, and management of the treatment. Eligibility: People ages 3 years and older who have ONB. They must enroll in NIH studies #19-C-0016 and #18-DC-0051. ...
The primary objective of the study is to create a biobank of oral smears permitting to identify the genetic locus/loci associated with an increased risk to develop meningiomas after cyproterone acetate (CPA) (Androcur®) treatment, using a GWAS approach. As the secondary objectives, the study aims: - to evaluate the importance of the genetic susceptibility. - to record the frequence of homonodependant cancers occuring in female patients with Androcur® associated meningioma and in their first-degree relatives. - to describe clinical, radiological, histological characteristics of the patients who have...
