A biomarker is a measurable indicator of the severity or presence of some disease state. In this study, brain metastases patients who will be receiving radiation treatment, will undergo CT (Computed Tomography) and MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scans prior to and after radiation treatment to measure these biomarkers. This is a single-center phase II study to validate the predictive abilities of biomarkers, in terms of determining how patients will respond to radiation treatment.
This study is the experimental study for brain metastasis development mechanism in patients with breast cancer with brain metastasis
This biospecimen collection study will evaluate the feasibility of engrafting and testing resected Central nervous system (CNS) tumors tumor tissue ex vivo to estimate drug response, in pediatric and adult subjects. CNS tumors display remarkable heterogeneity and unfortunately there are no reliable precision oncology platforms that can identify the most effective therapy for each patient. Recent work has demonstrated the success of functional precision oncology platforms using patient-derived explant (PDE) at predicting drug response in various cancers. Since PDEs maintain important aspects of tumor heterogeneity they may prove...
Predicting the survival of patients diagnosed with glioblastoma (GBM) is essential to guide surgical strategy and subsequent adjuvant therapies. Intraoperative ultrasound (ioUS) is a low-cost, versatile technique available in most neurosurgical departments. The images from ioUS contain biological information possibly correlated to the tumor's behavior, aggressiveness, and oncological outcomes. Today's advanced image processing techniques require a large amount of data. Therefore, the investigators propose creating an international database aimed to share intraoperative ultrasound images of brain tumors. The acquired data must be...
This phase I trial investigates the side effects of brain tumor-specific immune cells (IL13Ralpha2-CAR T cells) in treating patients with leptomeningeal disease from glioblastoma, ependymoma, or medulloblastoma. Immune cells are part of the immune system and help the body fight infections and other diseases. Immune cells can be engineered to destroy brain tumor cells in the laboratory. IL13Ralpha2-CAR T cells is brain tumor specific and can enter and express its genes in immune cells. Giving IL13Ralpha2-CAR T cells may better recognize and destroy brain tumor cells in patients with leptomeningeal disease from glioblastoma, ependymoma...
This study will investigate the benefits of distinct brain health trainings in breast cancer survivors (age 30-80) with cognitive concerns post-chemotherapy. This study can be completed from the comfort of participant's own home.
The purpose of this study is to test any good or bad effects of the study drug called of ibrutinib (also known as Imbruvica™). At this stage of this trial, the study is investigating whether Ibrutinib can be incorporated into the established first-line chemotherapy regimen rituximab, methotrexate, vincristine, and procarbazine (R-VMP) in order to further refine the first-line induction therapy for PCNSL, as observed by a superior CRR (complete response rate) (ARM D RECRUITING ONLY)
This study is for patients with diffuse midline glioma, high grade glioma, diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, medulloblastoma, or another rare brain cancer that expresses GD2. Because there is no standard treatment at this time, patients are asked to volunteer in a gene transfer research study using special immune cells called T cells. T cells are a type of white blood cell that help the body fight infection. This research study combines two different ways of fighting cancer: antibodies and T cells. Both antibodies and T cells have been used to treat cancer patients. They have shown promise but have not been strong enough to cure...
This is an Open-Label Phase I/II Study of daily cabozantinib plus lanreotide every 4 w eeks to treat advanced G1-2 gastroentero-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (GEP-NET) patients who failed to one line or more than one line of small molecule kinase inhibitor or well-differentiated (W-D) G3 GEP-NET who failed to one line of small molecule kinase inhibitor or chemotherapy.
The study aims to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of the combination of cabozantinib and pembrolizumab in advanced melanoma
