Glioblastoma patients are confronted with a debilitating disease associated with a low survival rate and poor quality of life. The goal of this study will be to reach a largely underrepresented population in the exercise literature and explore the role of a tailored circuit-based resistance training program on functional fitness (i.e., ability to carry out tasks of daily living) and associated health outcomes (e.g., quality of life) for GBM patients on active treatment.
The overall goal of this study is to reveal the fundamental neural mechanisms that underlie comprehension across human spoken languages. An understanding of how speech is coded in the brain has significant implications for the development of new diagnostic and rehabilitative strategies for language disorders (e.g. aphasia, dyslexia, autism, et alia). The basic mechanisms underlying comprehension of spoken language are unknown. Researchers are only beginning to understand how the human brain extracts the most fundamental linguistic elements (consonants and vowels) from a complex and highly variable acoustic signal. Traditional theories have posited a 'universal' phonetic inventory...
A phase I study to evaluate the safety, tolerance and pharmacokinetics of SNC109 in patients with rGBM
This project will investigate the role of noise in the vestibular system, and in particular its effects on the variability (precision) of vestibular-mediated behaviors. The investigators will study vestibular precision in normal subjects and patients with peripheral vestibular damage, and will investigate its potential plasticity. The goals are to develop a better understanding of the role noise plays in the vestibular system in normal and pathologic populations, and to determine if the brain can learn to improve signal recognition within its inherently noisy neural environment, which would result in improved behavioral precision.
Study of Zirconium Zr 89 Crefmirlimab Berdoxa PET/CT as an imaging biomarker for assessing an early response to therapy in patients with advanced melanoma on immunotherapy and hydroxychloroquine. This study is a companion study to the "LIMIT Melanoma Trial." Patients with melanoma who are potentially eligible for the LIMIT Melanoma Trial and have at least one site of measurable disease based on RECIST 1.1 are potentially eligible. Associations with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) will be tested.
This is a compassionate use protocol to allow patients with advanced neuroblastoma palliative access to 131I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (131I-MIBG).
Metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) is a substance that is taken up by neuroblastoma cells. MIBG is combined with radioactive iodine (131 I) in the laboratory to form a radioactive compound 131 I-MIBG. This radioactive compound delivers radiation specifically to the cancer cells and causes them to die. The purpose of this research protocol provides a mechanism to deliver MIBG therapy when clinically indicated, but also to provide a mechanism to continue to collect efficacy and toxicity data that will be provided. A recent New Approaches to Neuroblastoma Therapy (NANT) phase 2 randomized trial of 131I-MIBG with or without radiation sensitizers for relapsed refractory or...
The researchers are doing this study to provide access to treatment with 131I-omburtamab for children and young adults who have CNS/leptomeningeal neoplasms. 131I-omburtamab is an investigational drug; the FDA has not approved it to treat this cancer or any other disease. However, the agency has granted the drug Breakthrough Therapy Designation for the treatment of neuroblastoma with CNS metastases.
The aim of this Expanded Access Program (EAP) is to enable the use of 18F-Floretyrosine with positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) or positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance (PET/MR) imaging to noninvasively detect tumor burden or treatment related change to assist in optimal management of patients with glioma.
This Expanded Access Program aims to: 1. Provide access to tebentafusp for mUM patients. 2. Provide access to tebentafusp for patients, who were on the control arm of the randomized controlled Phase II trial (IMCgp100-202) and were unable to crossover during the specified window. 3. Ensure that patients, who are benefiting from tebentafusp treatment while participating in an ongoing Immunocore sponsored clinical study (e.g., IMCgp100-102 or IMCgp100-201), may continue tebentafusp treatment on this Programme once the ongoing trial has met all of its key primary and secondary objectives.
