Subjects with papillary craniopharyngioma harboring a BRAF mutation will be treated with a BRAF + MEK inhibitor (dabrafenib + trametinib) after informed consent. Study participants will be administered oral dabrafenib and trametinib until maximal tumor volume reduction assessed by MRI. Progression free survival, cognition, ophthalmologic status, hypothalamic status and quality of life will be assessed 1 year after initiation of study treatment
The goal of this interventional study is to evaluate the efficacy of APG-157 in combination with Bevacizumab in subjects with recurrent high-grade glioma. The main questions the study aims to answer are: - Progression-free and overall survival of patients receiving this combination; - Quality of Life (QOL); and - Tumor response on imaging The participants will take APG-157 daily by dissolving two pastilles in their mouth at around breakfast, lunch and dinner time (total of six pastilles per day). The pastilles dissolve in the mouth. The participants will continue to receive Bevacizumab as standard of...
This study suggests that R-IDARAM combined with intrathecal immunochemotherapy may be high effective in primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) patients.
Meningiomas are known to be the most frequent intracranial neoplasms and account for approx. 25-33% of all intracranial tumours.Targeted radionuclide therapy with radiolabelled somatostatin analogues, also called Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT), has proven to be an effective treatment in metastatic intestinal neuroendocrine tumours and is currently used in advanced, recurrent or progressive meningiomas with promising results. In this study, the therapeutic index of a standard and newly developed radiolabelled somatostatin antagonist will be evaluated and compared in PRRT. In a second step, safety and efficacy of the latter ...
This study assesses the safety and efficacy of repeat monthly dosing of super-selective intra-arterial cerebral infusion (SIACI) of cetuximab and bevacizumab in patients < 22 years of age.
This research study is investigating the value of an imaging study of the brain called an MRI (which stands for magnetic resonance imaging), utilized in unique way, to delineate whether the tumor has recurred or whether radiation changes have occurred after a brain metastasis treated with focused radiation has enlarged.
This is a prospective study to investigate the long-lasting radiolabeled somatostatin analogue based peptide receptor radionuclide therapy and evaluate response to 177Lu-DOTA-EB-TATE in patients with advanced metastatic neuroendocrine tumors. Different groups with doses of 0.37GBq-0.74GBq (10-20 mCi) and 1.85GBq (50 mCi)of 177Lu-DOTA-EB-TATE, 3.7GBq (100 mCi)of 177Lu-DOTA-TATE will be injected intravenously. Besides, we evaluated the safety and dosimetry of 3.7GBq (100 mCi) of 177Lu-DOTA-EB-TATE with and without amino acid infusion. All patients will undergo 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT scans before and after the treatment.
The overall survival of patients with metastatic breast cancer has steadily improved over the past decades, mainly due to advances in systemic treatment. Despite these advances, the development of brain metastases remains a serious and devastating complication that decreases quality of life and increases morbidity and mortality. The HER2CLIMB randomized study demonstrated that adding the investigational drug tucatinib to the standard treatment trastuzumab and capecitabine improved both progression-free survival and overall survival in people diagnosed with human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer,...
Background: - More children with cancer are surviving into adulthood. Some side effects from treatment go away quickly. But some problems may not go away or may only show up months or years later. These problems are called late effects. Late effects can cause difficulties in cognitive functions, such as attention and memory. Physical activity has been found to improve the attention and memory skills of children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Researchers want to see if physical activity can help with these cognitive problems in children with brain tumors. Objectives: - To see if physical...
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety/tolerability/feasibility of pembrolizumab and radiation therapy before surgical resection in patients with recurrent glioblastoma as defined by treatment-related AEs and the number of patients who do not necessitate a delay in surgical resection, and to assess overall survival. The secondary objectives are to assess progression free survival, and to assess the T cell clonality, CD8 T cell activation and Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocyte (TIL) score after treatment
