The purpose of this pilot study is to compare a standard of care MRI scan to a non-standard of care MR imaging with portable (0.064 Tesla) MRI following the administration of non-SOC contrast called Gadopiclenol on 10 subjects with known brain tumors. Participants will be randomized to receive either standard MRI or portable MRI first following contrast injection
This study is designed to evaluate the role of Oxygen Enhanced (OE) Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Blood Oxygenation Level Dependent (BOLD) MRI in detecting regions of hypoxic tumour and to evaluate their use as imaging methods to selectively deliver targeted radiotherapy to regions of aggressive disease.
The sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) are the first lymph nodes (LNs) to drain the tumor site and therefore the first LNs to bare metastases. Hence the importance to investigate these LNs for the best treatment strategy. Current-standard-of-care for melanoma patients with a melanoma stage of pT1b or higher, involve a surgical procedure, referred to as SLN biopsy (SLNB). The SLNB procedure involves a combined detection procedure using a radio-active tracer and blue dye followed by surgical dissection and evaluation of the LNs at the histopathology department. Due to the use of radioisotopes, this procedure suffers from several disadvantages...
In France, about 5000 new people with a primary malignant brain tumor are diagnosed each year. The most common primary tumors are gliomas, originating from glial cells (astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas). Low-grade gliomas are mildly aggressive, but they often evolve into a more malignant form. Mutations in the genes encoding isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) are found in about 80% of low-grade gliomas and are associated with a favorable prognosis. Remarkably, IDH-mutated gliomas are characterized by a specific cellular metabolism causing the accumulation of D-2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG) in tumor cells. 2HG can be detected in vivo...
Meningiomas are the most common primary tumors of the central nervous system, representing more than a third of tumors.Current conventional treatments for meningioma are surgery and radiotherapy. When these treatments are no longer feasible, meningiomas are considered refractory regardless of their grade. Some meningiomas express somatostatin type 2 receptors and can be treated with lutathera. This study aims to evaluate the response to treatment in this pathology
The goal of this observational study is to gain new insights into the changes in proteins, genes and other molecular biological substances in the aqueous humour, vitreous humour, blood serum and, in rare cases, retina/choroid samples in patients with ocular lymphoma disease. The hope is that this will expand the understanding of the mechanisms of the disease and thus contribute to improved and simplified diagnosis and treatment strategies in the future. The aim is the inclusion of at least 220 patients during the study period. The main questions it aims to answer are: - to evaluate the diagnostic quality of extended molecular...
1. To retrospectively explore the feasibility of multi-dimensional heterogeneity imaging features of MRI in predicting the status of key gene mutations in high-grade gliomas; 2. To prospectively explore the correlation between multi-dimensional heterogeneous MRI image features and prognosis of high-grade glioma patients.
Aim: Investigate whether patients undergoing specialist rehabilitation after complex neurological injury show different functional outcomes if music therapy is included in their rehabilitation program compared to usual care. Background: Patients with complex needs following a brain, spinal cord, and/or peripheral nerve injury often require a period of specialist neurorehabilitation. This involves multiple therapy disciplines, led by a Consultant in Rehabilitation Medicine, Neurology, or Neuropsychiatry. Although music therapy is suggested to enhance neuroplasticity and recovery in patients with brain injury, it is not routinely...
This is a phase 2 open-label study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of N-803 and PD-L1 t-haNK when combined with Bevacizumab in subjects with recurrent or progressive GBM. Participants will receive N-803 subcutaneously (SC), PD-L1 t-haNK intravenously (IV), and Bevacizumab IV combination therapy. Treatment for all enrolled participants will consist of repeated cycles of 28 days for a maximum treatment period of 76 weeks (19 cycles). Treatment will be administered on days 1 and day 15 of each cycle. Treatment will be discontinued if the participant reports unacceptable toxicity (not corrected with dose reduction), withdraws...
This is a phase II study looking at patient response to treatment with the combination dinutuximab, temozolomide, irinotecan, and GM-CSF.
