In this study, the investigators test whether it is possible to deliver an exercise intervention via video meetings to children and adolescents who have completed therapy for medulloblastoma. The exercise sessions will be individualized and offered three times weekly during 12 weeks.
This first-in-human study will establish the human safety and radiation dosimetry of the system A amino acid transport substrate, (R)-3-[F-18]fluoro-2-methyl-2-(methylamino)propanoic acid ([F-18]MeFAMP), for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of primary and metastatic brain tumors. This study will include 3 cohorts: healthy volunteers for whole body dosimetry estimates (n=6-8, Dosimetry Cohort), patients undergoing evaluation for recurrent high grade glioma after radiation therapy (n=10, high grade glioma (HGG) Cohort), and patients with brain metastases from extra-cranial solid tumors before and after radiation therapy (n=10, Metastasis Cohort). Exploratory assessment of...
This study is designed as an open-label, prospective, single-arm, single-center trial aimed at evaluating the efficacy and safety of MTX or Thiotepa combined with Orelabrutinib and standard chemotherapy regimens in the treatment of DLBCL patients with central nervous system involvement.
Cancer-related fatigue is a common and debilitating late effect in pediatric brain tumor survivors. Currently, evidence-based recommendations to ameliorate this condition are lacking. The researchers will investigate the ability of methylphenidate to improve fatigue and cognition in pediatric brain tumor survivors suffering from cancer-related fatigue. Methylphenidate is a drug (central nervous stimulant) most commonly used in the treatment of hyperkinetic disorders such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). If methylphenidate shows an effect, the prospects are important for this patient group, since methylphenidate may then be included as part of the treatment...
The aim of the study is to investigate the impact of the microenvironment on tumorigenesis of small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors often located in the terminal ileum, without identified driver mutations.
Multimorbidity (the presence of two or more coexisting long-term conditions) is a significant challenge facing the NHS, especially given UK's ageing population and the association with high levels of illness burden and healthcare costs. Over 50% of adults >65 years have multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs). Our group has validated a broad range of algorithms applied to single wearable sensors that have the potential to capture walking-related mobility outcomes (such as walking cadence and walking speed) accurately and reliably during activities of daily living across five single long-term conditions. These algorithms, however, cannot be readily applied to people with MLTCs...
The goal of this single centre pilot study is to explore whether 18F-fluoro-ethyl-tyrosine PET (FET-PET) yields comparable findings to 11C-methionine PET (Met-PET) for the localisation of pituitary tumours.
Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of R-CHOP-MTX±Zanubrutinib in Newly Diagnosed Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Patients with Central Nervous System Involvement, and Explore the Efficacy Indicators of CSF-ctDNA.
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.
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
