Treatment of advanced endocrine tumors, including adrenal corticocarcnioma (ACC), medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), thymic neuroendocrine tumor and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor is challenging. Previous genomic profiling studies showed they presented a number of somatic mutations. The tumors Individualized mRNA neoantigen vaccine provide a promising solution since a significant portion of these tumors showed high quality of tumor specific neoantigen. The primary objective is to observe and evaluate the safety and tolerability of individualized mRNA neoantigen vaccine (mRNA-0523-L001) for the treatment of advanced endocrine tumors, failure of standard treatment or no standard...
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 objectives of this study and registry are to offer the best management possible for patients with brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) (ruptured or unruptured) in terms of long-term outcomes, despite the presence of uncertainty. Management may include interventional therapy (with endovascular procedures, neurosurgery, or radiotherapy, alone or in combination) or conservative management. The trial has been designed to test a) whether medical management or interventional therapy will reduce the risk of death or debilitating stroke (due to hemorrhage or infarction) by an absolute magnitude of about 15% (over 10 years) for unruptured AVMs (from 30% to 15%); and, b) to test...
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 care.
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 will be assessed.
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 multi-site, three-cohort phase II trial of cabozantinib for IMDC all-risk frontline metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) patients OR any line mRCC patients who have not previously been treated with cabozantinib, and patients with pancreatic or extra-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.
Conduct a multicenter, open label Phase IIA trial of oral DCA in 40 surgical patients with recurrent GBM who have clinically indicated debulking surgery planned. No patients will be recruited at UF. Patients will be genotyped to establish safe dosing regimens and will be randomized to receive DCA (N=20) or no DCA (N=20) for one week prior to surgery. Deidentified blood and tumor tissue obtained at surgery will be assessed at UF for biochemical markers of DCA dynamics.
