Uptake and Biodistribution of 89Zirconium-labeled Ipilimumab in Ipilimumab Treated Patients With Metastatic Melanoma
Rationale: Ipilimumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting CTLA-4, is approved for the treatment of metastatic melanoma and significantly increases median overall survival. However, use of this drug is associated with immune related adverse events (IRAEs) like colitis, hepatitis, dermatitis, alveolitis and hypophysitis in 10-40% of the patients. In general IRAEs are manageable by cessation of ipilimumab in combination with treatment with corticosteroids or TNF-alpha blockade but they can be severe or even life-threatening. In addition, treatment with ipilimumab is expensive. Because of the high costs and the potential serious toxicity of ...

Use of Optune TTF With Radiation as an Alternative for Elderly Patients With Primary CNS Lymphoma
This study will compare the overall survival (OS) time of elderly patients who would not tolerate standard chemotherapy for PCNSL treated with WBXRT together with Optune-TTF to those treated with whole-brain radiotherapy alone. Standard treatment of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) for patients with good performance status involves high-dose methotrexate-based chemotherapy regimens and whole-brain radiation therapy (WBXRT). Although up to 20% of patients with PCNSL are 80 years of age or older, little data exist with regard to optimal treatment of this patient population and they often do not qualify for clinical trials. In...

Using a Novel Functional MRI Technique to Evaluate for Neurotoxicity
The purpose of this study is to test resting state functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (rsfMRI) scans to see if rsfMRI scans are better than the standard task based fMRI scans at diagnosing or monitoring central nervous system lymphoma.

Using Electrocorticogram (ECoG) in Predicting Eloquent Cortex and Post-Op Functional Outcomes in Patients With Brain Tumors
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if using a larger than the standard mapping grid currently used at MD Anderson during brain tumor surgery or a high-definition grid for electrocorticogram (ECoG) brain mapping can help better identify which areas of the brain are active during specific limb movement and speech. In this study, the result of two types of ECoG mapping grids will be analyzed. ECoG mapping will take place during your scheduled surgery. Before the procedure, you will be assigned one of the two types of mapping grids. The mapping grid will be placed directly on the surface of your brain during surgery. You will...

Using MRI-Guided Laser Heat Ablation to Induce Disruption of the Peritumoral Blood Brain Barrier to Enhance Delivery and Efficacy of Treatment of Pediatric Brain Tumors
By employing a combination of advanced MRI techniques and correlative serum biomarkers of blood brain barrier (BBB) disruption, the investigators plan to develop a powerful, first of its kind clinical algorithm in pediatrics whereby the investigators can measure and identify the window of maximal BBB disruption post MLA to 1) allow for an alternative to surgery in incompletely resected tumors, 2) allow for optimal chemotherapeutic dosing to achieve the greatest benefits and the least systemic side effects and 3) distinguish subsequent tumor progression from long-term MLA treatment effects. Preliminary data in adult imaging studies have...

Utility of Perfusion MRI to Detect Radiation Necrosis in Patients With Brain Metastases
This trial studies how well dynamic susceptibility contrast-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) works in determining radiation necrosis and tumor progression in participants with cancer that has spread to the brain and are being treated with radiation therapy. Diagnostic procedures, such as dynamic susceptibility contrast-MRI, may improve the ability to determine indeterminate post-treatment changes seen on imaging after radiation therapy.

Vaccination With 6MHP, With or Without Systemic CDX-1127, in Patients With Stage II-IV Melanoma
This study evaluates whether it is safe to administer a peptide vaccine (6MHP) with adjuvants and the CDX-1127 monoclonal antibody, and whether the adjuvants and the CDX-1127 monoclonal antibody boost immune responses to the vaccine. In this study, the adjuvants are Montanide ISA-51, polyICLC and cyclophosphamide. The investigators will monitor these effects by performing tests in the laboratory on participants' blood and tissue from a vaccine site.

Vaccination With Autologous Dendritic Cells Loaded With Autologous Tumor Lysate or Homogenate Combined With Immunomodulating Radiotherapy and/or Preleukapheresis IFN-alfa in Patients With Metastatic Melanoma: a Randomized "Proof-of-principle" Phase II Study
Title: Vaccination with autologous dendritic cells loaded with autologous tumor lysate or homogenate combined with immunomodulating radiotherapy and/or preleukapheresis IFN-alfa in patients with metastatic melanoma: a randomized "proof-of-principle" phase II study. Study Design: Randomized selection design, proof of principle study Study Duration: 36 months Number of Subjects: 24 evaluable patients Diagnosis and Main Inclusion Criteria: Patients with non resectable stage III or stage IV malignant melanoma carrying at least 2 measurable lesions, any line after 1st line Vemurafenib in patients carrying BRAF mutation-positive melanoma and/or...

Vaccine Enriched, Autologous, Activated T-Cells Directed to Tumor in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Melanoma
The researchers will investigate if modified T-cells from a patients own system can be utilized to find and destroy metastatic melanoma tumor and thus improve patient outcomes.

Vaccine Immunotherapy for Recurrent Medulloblastoma and Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor
Immunotherapy is a specific approach to treating cancer that has shown promise in adult patients for the treatment of melanoma, malignant brain tumors, and other cancers. The study investigators will use the experience they have gained from these studies to try to improve the outcome for children affected by a recurrent brain tumor. This study will have two phases. During Phase I, approximately 9 patients will be treated with increasing doses of tumor-specific immune cells to determine the safety of this treatment. Phase I patients will also receive dendritic cell vaccines to help boost the function of these immune cells and ...
