Acetyl-Amantadine as a Biomarker in Patients With Glioblastoma
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common brain tumor in adults. The strikingly poor survival for patients with GBM (average survival 14-16 months following diagnosis) is due in part to limited early detection methods and an absence of effective therapeutic options. The study proposed would establish important evidence for the use of Health Canada approved drugs such as amantadine as a safe, effective and affordable way to monitor GBM. The method is based on the overproduction of a key enzyme in GBM cells called spermine/ spermadine n-acetyl transferase (SSAT1). The increased SSAT1 expression in GBM results in increased metabolism...

A Clinical and Molecular Risk-Directed Therapy for Newly Diagnosed Medulloblastoma
Historically, medulloblastoma treatment has been determined by the amount of leftover disease present after surgery, also known as clinical risk (standard vs. high risk). Recent studies have shown that medulloblastoma is made up of distinct molecular subgroups which respond differently to treatment. This suggests that clinical risk alone is not adequate to identify actual risk of recurrence. In order to address this, we will stratify medulloblastoma treatment in this phase II clinical trial based on both clinical risk (low, standard, intermediate, or high risk) and molecular subtype (WNT, SHH, or Non-WNT Non-SHH). This stratified...

A Clinical Performance Study to Validate the Use of Novel Molecular Diagnostic Assays for the Detection of Cancer Biomarkers in Peripheral Blood and Primary Tumor Tissue of Patients With Recurrent/Metastatic HNSCC, Metastatic NSCLC or Metastatic Melanoma
Conventional biopsy and surgical tumor resection are invasive procedures that capture only one instance of the progression of the tumor. However, the genome of tumor is not static, but it is constantly altered during treatment. Liquid biopsy is a non-invasive approach based on the extraction of information through peripheral blood analysis. It makes it possible to characterize the development of a solid tumor in real time, through detailed molecular analysis of circulating genetic material in peripheral blood.

A Clinical Study to Assess the Combination of Two Drugs (177Lu-DOTATATE and Nivolumab) in Neuroendocrine Tumours
This is a prospective, multi-centre, open-label, single-arm, stratified, exploratory, Phase 2 study evaluating the efficacy and safety of 177Lu-DOTATATE in combination with nivolumab in adult patients with Grade 3 neuroendocrine tumours (NET) or neuroendocrine carcinomas (NEC).

A Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of OrienX010 in Unresectable Malignant Melanoma Patients
This study is being performed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Dacarbazine and OrienX010 therapy in Untreated Patients With Unresectable Stage IIIb/IIIc or Stage IV(Mla/Mlb) Melanoma. The study will be conducted in about 6 centres in China and total 165 patients will be enrolled. All eligible Patients will be randomized between Dacarbazine and OrienX010 in a 1:2 ratio, so 1/3 (55) patients will receive the Dacarbazine and 2/3 (110) patients will receive the OrienX010. During the treatment phase, the patient will receive OrienX010 administration once biweekly or Dacarbazine once every 3 week until to the end of...

A Clinical Trial Evaluating the Efficacy of Valganciclovir in Glioblastoma Patients
This study is a multicenter randomized double-blinded controlled phase 2 study evaluating the efficacy and safety of the anti-CMV drug valganciclovir vs placebo as add-on therapy in patients with glioblastoma. Valganciclovir is approved for treatment of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections, but may also have anti-tumoral effects. Current evidence imply that most glioblastomas are CMV positive and that the virus can affect tumor aggressiveness.

A Clinical Trial Evaluating the Safety of Combining Lutathera(R) and Azedra(R) to Treat Mid-gut Neuroendocrine Tumors
This study is designed to identify the best tolerated doses of Lutathera® and Azedra® when co-administered to treat midgut neuroendocrine tumors. These drugs are radioactive drugs, known as radionuclide therapy, and are both approved in the treatment of midgut neuroendocrine tumor as single agents (not together). Currently, the safest and best tolerated doses of these drugs (when combined) is unknown. That is the purpose of this clinical trial.

A Clinical Trial to Evaluate a Melanoma Helper Peptide Vaccine Plus Dabrafenib and Trametinib
This study evaluates whether it is safe to administer a helper peptide vaccine with dabrafenib and trametinib. This study will also evaluate the effects of the combination of the peptide vaccine and dabrafenib and trametinib on the immune system. We will monitor these effects by performing tests in the laboratory on participants' blood and tumor samples.

A Comparison of MRI Perfusion and FDG PET/CT to Distinguish Between Radiation Injury and Tumor Progression
This study will examine if MRI perfusion and PET/CT can tell growing tumor and radiation injury apart. MRI perfusion looks at the blood vessels in the tumor. PET/CT looks if the tumor cells are actively growing. The investigators will do these two tests and see which one is better. Patients will remain on study until the completion of either the MRI perfusion or PET/CT that are within 12 weeks of each other. After one of these scans, the patient will have no active interventions and will be off study. Optional: Restriction Spectrum Imaging (RSI) Sequence RSI sequence is an advanced way of looking at your brain. The scan...

A Compassionate Use/Expanded Access Protocol Using 131I-MIBG Therapy for Patients With Refractory Neuroblastoma and Metastatic Pheochromocytoma
This is an expanded access protocol/compassionate use single institution study designed to determine the palliative benefit and toxicity of 131I-MIBG in patients with progressive neuroblastoma and metastatic pheochromocytoma who are not eligible for therapies of higher priority. Response rate, toxicity, and time to progression and death will be evaluated.
