Cognitive Training in the Virtual Reality Setting With Children Undergoing Radiotherapy for Brain Tumors
The objective of this study is to estimate the feasibility and acceptability of cognitive training in the virtual reality setting with children undergoing radiotherapy for brain tumors. To achieve this goal, the investigators plan to study children undergoing radiotherapy for brain tumors randomly assigned to cognitive training administered via an …
Investigating Visual Verticality Disorder and Lateropulsion in a Neurosurgical Cohort of Patients With Brain Tumours
The overall objective of this research is to investigate the clinical characteristics pre- and post-brain tumour resection with a focus on visual verticality disorder, and lateropulsion, including neuroimaging analysis, of a neurosurgical cohort of patients with brain tumours. This prospective observational cohort study will investigate clinical and neuroimaging characteristics and …
Ommaya Reservoir Placement at the Time of Biopsy for Longitudinal Biomarker Collection in Patients With Brain Tumors
This observational trial evaluates the use of Ommaya reservoir placed during a biopsy to collect biomarkers longitudinally in patients with brain tumor. A biomarker is a measurable indicator of the severity or presence of the disease state. An Ommaya reservoir is a small device that's implanted under the scalp. It …
Guided Meditation During Radiation Therapy for Brain Tumors
The goal of this interventional treatment study is to assess the anxiolytic effect of providing guided meditation during radiation treatment (RT) in patients with brain tumors. The main question it aims to answer is: • What is the change in acute anxiety in participants receiving the mindfulness intervention during radiation …
SIMPLIFication of Care Pathways for Patients With Rare Brain Tumors Through Artificial Intelligence
This study focuses on rare brain tumors, which are heterogeneous entities with different morphological, biological, and clinical characteristics. Due to their rarity, many of these tumors fall under the RARECARE definition of rare tumors. The main objective of the study is to standardize care models and pathways for patients with …
A Study of Sotorasib in People With Brain Tumors
The researchers are doing this study to find out how effective sotorasib is at getting into KRAS G12C+ brain tumors. The researchers will also find out whether sotorasib is a safe and effective treatment for people undergoing surgical resection of KRAS G12C+ metastatic brain tumors, and do tests that show …
Prospective Cohort of Patients With Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma: Analysis of MMP2 and MMP9 Expression and Correlation to Neuro-imaging Features.
Glioblastoma is the most frequent and aggressive primary brain tumor in adults. A team recently showed that baseline plasma levels of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) were correlated to bevacizumab activity in patients with recurrent glioblastoma. To date, the biological rationale of this results remains unknown but MMP2 …
Ommaya Reservoir Placement for Brain Tumor Biomarker Access
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of intra-operative Ommaya Reservoir placement during a clinically indicated operation for brain tumor. The Ommaya reservoir will facilitate a longitudinal access to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for analysis of potential biomarkers for brain tumor research and individualized monitoring.
Detection of Brain Metastases Using a Novel Gadolinium-Weighted MRI Sequence: A Prospective Comparison
This study will evaluate a new type of MRI sequence designed to improve the visibility of brain metastases after gadolinium contrast injection. The purpose is to determine whether this novel "gadolinium-weighted" imaging method can detect more or smaller tumors than standard MRI techniques. Participants will undergo a routine brain MRI …
Feasibility of Mask-Free Radiotherapy for Brain Tumor Patients
The aim of this study is to investigate the technical feasibility of brain radiotherapy without immobilization masks using surface imaging to ensure accurate patient positioning and continuous motion monitoring.
