Tryptophan Metabolism in Human Brain Tumors
The main purpose of this study is to determine the potential clinical utility of PET imaging using the radiotracer [C-11]alpha-methyl-L-tryptophan in the diagnosis, differentiation and monitoring of various brain tumors, both before and after initial treatment. We will also study mechanisms and clinical significance of abnormal brain tumor tryptophan metabolism using resected tumor tissues.

TTAC-0001 and Pembrolizumab Phase Ib Combination Trial in Recurrent Glioblastoma
This is a phase 1b, open-Label clinical trial to determine the safety and tolerability and to establish a preliminary recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of TTAC-0001 administered in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with recurrent glioblastoma.

TTFields and Pulsed Bevacizumab for Recurrent Glioblastoma
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and deadliest primary malignant neoplasm of the central nervous system in adults. Despite an aggressive multimodality treatment approach including surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, overall survival remains poor. Novocure has shown that when properly tuned, very low intensity, intermediate frequency electric fields (TTFields) stunt the growth of tumor cells. The Optune system (NovoTTFTM Therapy) is a portable battery operated device, which produces TTFields within the human body by means of surface transducer arrays. The TTFields are applied to the patient by means of surface...

TTFields In GErmany in Routine Clinical Care
The purpose of this post-authorisation medical device study is to obtain real life data on the use of tumor-treating fields (TTFields) in patients with newly diagnosed GBM in routine clinical care in Germany. Patients with newly diagnosed GBM and clinical indication for TTFields treatment will be enrolled in the study after signing Informed consent to use their data and process it centrally for research purposes. The clinical indication for TTFields is one of the inclusion criteria and is defined prior to inclusion by the treating physician. The patient's decision regarding TTFields treatment is part of the observation and will be assessed...

Tumor Hypoxia With HX4 PET in Several Diseases
Regulation of tissue oxygen homeostasis is critical for cell function, proliferation and survival. Evidence for this continues to accumulate along with our understanding of the complex oxygen-sensing pathways present within cells. Several pathophysiological disorders are associated with a loss in oxygen homeostasis, including heart disease, stroke, and cancer. The microenvironment of tumors in particular is very oxygen heterogeneous, with hypoxic areas which may explain our difficulty treating cancer effectively. Prostate carcinomas are known to be hypoxic. Increasing levels of hypoxia within prostatic tissue is related to increasing...

Tumor Related Epilepsy
Background: Some people with brain tumors have seizures related to the tumor. This is called tumor-related epilepsy. Usually brain tumors are treated by removing as much of the brain tumor as possible without causing problems. Researchers think this may improve the outcome for people with brain tumors. It may completely relieve or greatly reduce the number of seizures they have. Objectives: To evaluate people with brain tumors that are associated with seizures and to offer surgical treatment. Also, to study how surgery affects seizures. Eligibility: People age 8 and older who have a brain tumor with associated...

Tumor Resection and Gliadel® Wafers, Followed by Temodar® With Standard Radiation or GammaKnife® for New GBM
A glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant primary brain tumor, yet it is not easy to control. Recent studies show that survival improves for patients who get aggressive surgery to remove a tumor before starting radiation (RT) and chemotherapy (chemo) treatment. Surgery, RT and chemo are part of regular cancer care for GBM. RT is usually done in daily doses 5 days a week over about 6 weeks. Beams of radiation are aimed at the tumor site plus some of the normal brain tissue around the tumor area. GammaKnife® (GK) radiosurgery also delivers radiation but in a larger dose over one day. GK sends beams to a precise target (tumor location)...

Tumor-Treating Fields Therapy in Preventing Brain Tumors in Participants With Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer
This trial studies how well tumor-treating fields therapy works in preventing brain tumors in participants with small cell lung cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Tumor-treating fields therapy involves the use of the NovoTTF-200A which delivers alternating electrical fields, or tumor treating fields, through ceramic discs placed on the head. This electric force may slow and/or reverse tumor growth by disrupting the way cancer cells grow.
