A Phase 0/1 Study of cDNA for TP53, Checkpoint Inhibition and Radiation in Children With Recurrent, Progressive or Refractory CNS Malignancies.
This clinical trial is studying a drug called SGT-53 along with radiation and another drug called Nivolumab. It's for children with brain tumors that have come back, gotten worse, or didn't get better with earlier treatments. The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the right dose of …
Radiodynamic Therapy (RDT) With Gliolan in Patients With First Recurrence of Brain Tumor
The investigational drug 5-ALA (known under the trade name Gliolan®) is an approved drug for the surgical removal of malignant glioma (WHO grade III and IV). In this trial, the drug is being tested outside of its actual approval as a radiosensitizer in combination with conventional radiotherapy for first-time recurrence …
Impact of Salovum® and SPC® Flakes on Brain Tumor Induced Edema
The objective of this clinical trial is to explore the effects of Salovum®, an egg yolk powder enriched with the endogenous protein antisecretory factor, and SPC® flakes , hydrothermically processed oats, on cerebral edema with clinical symptoms in participants with brain tumors. The primary questions the trial seeks to answer …
Extensive Resection of Malignant Brain Tumors Using Advanced Imaging Techniques
Rationale: Patients with IDH-wildtype glioblastoma or grade IV IDH-mutant astrocytoma have a very poor prognosis despite standard treatment consisting of surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Diffuse infiltration of the brain by the tumor is thought to be one of the main causes of this therapy-resistance. In order to improve the surgical …
Brain Slice Explants to Predict Drug Response in Brain Tumors
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 …
Atovaquone Combined With Radiation in Children With Malignant Brain Tumors
The goal of this interventional study is to Assess the safety and tolerability of atovaquone in combination with standard radiation therapy (RT) for the treatment of pediatric patients with newly diagnosed pediatric high-grade glioma/diffuse midline glioma/diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (pHGG/DMG/DIPG). The secondary aim is to assess the safety and tolerability …
Perioperative Dexmedetomidine on Postoperative Delirium in Patients With Brain Tumors
Neurosurgery is a risk factor for delirium. Dexmedetomidine might reduce delirium by reducing neuroinflammation, improving postoperative analgesia and sleep quality. The the primary hypothesis is that perioperative administration of dexmedetomidine can reduce the incidence of postoperative delirium
Developing a New MRI Technique to Understand Changes in Brain Tumors After Treatment
The purpose of this study is to develop and test a new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique to see if it can be used to tell the difference between tumor growth from worsening of cancer and growth from the effects of treatment in participants who have brain tumors treated with …
LEARN: Learning Environment for Artificial Intelligence in Radiotherapy New Technology
This study will develop a whole-of-body markerless tracking method for measuring the motion of the tumour and surrounding organs during radiation therapy to enable real-time image guidance. Routinely acquired patient data will be used to improve the training, testing and accuracy of a whole-of-body markerless tracking method. When the markerless …
High-resolution PET-CT Specimen Imaging for the Perioperative Visualization of Resection Margins
These are patients in whom a benign or malignant tumor was recorded requiring surgery. During that surgery, the surgeon will cut away the tumor as part of the treatment of the disease. In this process, it is important that the tumor is removed correctly and completely. To verify that the …
