Patients with metastatic breast cancer with at least 2 brain metastases will receive pembrolizumab every 3 weeks. Patients will undergo stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to one of the brain lesions. Pembrolizumab infusion will be given on Day 4 (+/-1) after SRS treatment at the standard dose of 200mg IV over 30 minutes and repeated every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
This research study is evaluating a combination therapy of 3 drugs as possible treatments for recurrent primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). The three drugs being used in the study are: - Pembrolizumab (MK3475) - Ibrutinib - Rituximab (or biosimilar)
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of pembrolizumab and to see how well it works in treating younger patients with high-grade gliomas (brain tumors that are generally expected to be fast growing and aggressive), diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (brain stem tumors), brain tumors with a high number of genetic mutations, ependymoma or medulloblastoma that have come back (recurrent), progressed, or have not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may induce changes in the body's immune system, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells...
This study will test the safety and effectiveness of a combination of pembrolizumab, olaparib, and temozolomide to see how well these drugs work when given together in people with a glioma that either did not respond to previous treatment or came back after treatment.
The purpose of this phase 2 trial is to study the activity of pembrolizumab in combination with bevacizumab in patients with untreated brain metastases from melanoma or NSCLC to determine activity and safety of the drug combination. Furthermore, in patients who undergo resection of biopsy of a brain metastasis, we will evaluate biomarkers predictive of treatment benefit, and will also conduct correlative biomarker studies on extra-cerebral specimens in all patients in whom a systemic biopsy is feasible or in archival tumor tissue when available. A total of 53 eligible patients will be enrolled on this trial (40 with melanoma and 13...
This is a Phase II single center, open-label, single arm study in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (stage IV) with brain metastases. This study will be treated with combination of Pembrolizumab 200mg plus platinum doublet based on histology subtypes.
This phase I trial investigates the side effects and best dose of Peposertib, and to see how well it works in combination with radiation therapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed MGMT unmethylated glioblastoma or gliosarcoma. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Peposertib may further stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving Peposertib ...
The specific aim is of this study is to gain a better understanding of the patient characteristics, treatment responses, survival outcomes, and adverse events associated with PRRT in patients with gastroenteropancreatic primary NETs.
This trial aims to study the performance of Elucirem® (gadopiclenol) in Dynamic Susceptibility Contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DSC-MRI) perfusion of brain gliomas.
This is a prospective, cohort study to evaluate the impact of cerebellar functional topography on perioperative outcomes related to cognition and motor ataxia in patients with cerebellar tumors.
