The research question is whether a single fraction of preoperative radiosurgery can reduce the incidence of leptomeningeal disease 12 months following resection of a brain metastasis (BM) as compared with 5 fractions of postoperative stereotactic radiotherapy.
Patients with heritable retinoblastoma are at risk to develop an intracranial brain tumor, which is often fatal. The investigators intend to look at the incidence and survival of trilateral retinoblastoma (which is a brain tumor that can either be located in the pineal gland or elsewhere in the brain) in retinoblastoma patients globally. All retinoblastoma patients from participating centers will be included. The investigators hypothesize that the apparent incidence of trilateral retinoblastoma (especially the usually later diagnosed pineal trilateral retinoblastoma) in low-income countries will be lower because of low chances of surviving the ocular tumors at about 50% and also...
This is a Phase 1 study of recurrent glioblastoma locoregional adoptive therapy with autologous peripheral blood T cells lentivirally transduced to express a dual-target, truncated IL7Ra modified chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), delivered by Ommaya reservoir, a pre-indwelled catheter in the tumor resection cavity or ventricle. Patients with pathological confirmation of glioblastoma and radiological evidence of recurrence are candidates for this clinical trial. If the patient meets all other eligibility criteria, and meets none of the exclusion criteria, will have leukapheresis, and a subsequent Ommaya reservoir implantation. T cells will be isolated from the PBMC sample and then...
The goal of this clinical trial is To investigate the safety and efficacy of Tumor-Treating Fields (TTFields) in combined with temozolomide (TMZ) and tislelizumab in the treatment of newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM).
This prospective multicenter non-interventional study (NIS) aims at confirming the survival benefit of Optune Gio® - in terms of OS and PFS - and describing device usage (compliance will be measured through patient's usage report, recorded by each device) and impact on QoL, in a real-life setting in France, in a large cohort of participants with newly diagnosed GBM who completed radiotherapy and concomitant TMZ after surgery and initiatingtreatment with Optune Gio® device together with maintenance TMZ. A special emphasis will be given to the evaluation of QoL and the impact of Optune Gio® on daily life, considering the limited life expectancy of these patients, the...
This research study will evaluate how well brain metastases associated with HER-2 positive breast cancer can be controlled using a type of radiation known as stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) when combined with three therapeutic agents, tucatinib, capecitabine, and trastuzumab. The combined use of SRS with the three drugs is considered investigational.
The proposed study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of XRT followed by systemic therapy among patients with HER2+ metastatic breast cancer and LMD
Neuroblastoma is a malignant tumor that develops in infants and kids. Dysregulation of histone acetylation is associated with a series of malignant tumors. Neuroblastoma is caused by defective neural crest differentiation due to abnormal gene regulation.
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 seizures. They must be willing to have brain surgery to...
This clinical trial tests the safety and side effects of tumor treating fields in treating patients with gliomas located in the brainstem. Optune is a wearable, portable, treatment that creates low-intensity, wave-like electric fields called tumor treating fields (TTFields), which interfere with cancer cell division. TTFields may prevent growth or decrease size of gliomas in patients
