A Study to Measure the Effect of Brain Stimulation on Hand Strength and Function in Patients With Brain Tumors
The neurosurgical standard of care for treating a patient with a tumor invading hand primary motor cortex (M1) includes performing a craniotomy with intraoperative direct electrical stimulation (DES) mapping and to resect as much tumor as possible without a resultant permanent neurological deficit. However, the subjective nature of current intraoperative …
Diagnostic Performance of Fluorescein as an Intraoperative Brain Tumor Biomarker
This clinical research will evaluate the diagnostic potential of fluorescein as visualized through an operating microscope relative to 1) contrast enhancement on co-registered preoperative MR scans, 2) intraoperative ALA-induced PpIX fluorescence and 3) gold-standard histology obtained from biopsy sampling during the procedure. Subjects will include those people with operable brain …
Record Voxel Rate Nonlinear Optical Microscope to Unravel Brain Connectome and Signaling
The research aims to develop a novel pathological technology, including rapid whole-mount tissue H\&E \& IHC staining protocol and high-resolution nonlinear optical microscopy imaging system, to intraoperatively assess brain tumor grade, types and other biological parameters.
Precision Radiotherapy Enabled by Molecular MRI
This is a research study to determine if a novel molecular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique, called amide proton transfer (APT) imaging, is useful in identifying the most aggressive areas of tumor needed for radiotherapy of brain tumors.
Non-invasive Glioma Characterization Through Molecular Imaging
MRI-based sequences can provide non-invasive quantification of intratumoral 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG) distribution and tumor cellularity in human gliomas and help guide the development of novel glioma therapies.
Longitudinal Prospective Study of Neurocognition & Neuroimaging in Primary BT Patients
In this proposal, the investigators introduce a novel, translational study to prospectively examine primary brain tumor patients undergoing fractionated radiation therapy to the brain. Quantitative neuroimaging, radiation dose information, and directed neurocognitive testing will be acquired through this study to improve understanding of cognitive changes associated with radiation dosage to …
An Investigational Scan (18F-DOPA PET/CT) for Improving the Clinical Management of Brain Tumors
This phase II trial studies how well the addition of 18F-DOPA (amino acid) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) to standard of care (SOC) imaging can improve the clinical management of patients with brain tumors in over 50% of cases. PET is an imaging test that helps to measure the …
A Rollover Study of NBM-BMX in Combination With Temozolomide in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma
This clinical trial is a rollover study designed to provide continued access to NBM-BMX and temozolomide (TMZ) for eligible participants with newly diagnosed glioblastoma who have completed the designated treatment in Study NBM-BMX-003 (the parent study), and to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of NBM-BMX administered in combination with …
Feasibility of FMISO in Brain Tumors
This phase II trial studies how well ¹⁸F- fluoromisonidazole (FMISO) works with positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in assessing participants with malignant (cancerous) brain tumors. FMISO provides information about the oxygen levels in a tumor, which may affect how the tumor behaves. PET/MRI imaging produces images of the …
CAR T Cells After Lymphodepletion for the Treatment of IL13Rα2 Positive Recurrent or Refractory Brain Tumors in Children
This phase I trial investigates the side effects of chemotherapy and cellular immunotherapy in treating children with IL13Ralpha2 positive brain tumors that have come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) or do not respond to treatment (refractory). Cellular immunotherapy (IL13(EQ)BBzeta/CD19t+ T cells) are brain-tumor specific cells that may induce …
