Methodology: Prospective, multicentric, open, non-randomised, non-therapeutic, interventional study
The objective of this study is to build a collection of biological samples from patients with brain tumors.
The BIOMEDE 2.0 study is the second stage of the BIOMEDE multi-arm, multistage rolling programme (adaptive platform protocol). It is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, controlled phase-3 trial evaluating efficacy of ONC201 in comparison with everolimus (primary objective based on internal comparison) and subsequently to historical controls. Two treatment groups will be compared. A switch between treatment groups is allowed after confirmation of the disease progression (real-time central review blinded to the treatment arm allocation). Study treatment will be continued until centrally confirmed disease progression...
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of targeted blood brain barrier disruption with Exablate Model 4000 Type 2.0/2.1 in combination with Doxorubicin therapy for the treatment of DIPG in pediatric patients
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of targeted blood brain barrier disruption with Exablate Model 4000 Type2.0/2.1 in combination with Doxorubicin therapy for the treatment of DIPG in pediatric patients
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of targeted blood brain barrier disruption with Exablate Model 4000 Type 2.0/2.1 for the treatment of NSCLC brain metastases in patients who are undergoing planned pembrolizumab monotherapy.
The goal of this interventional study is to optimize the protocol of FES PET/CT in Estrogen Receptor positive Breast cancer patients with Brain metastases. Patients will undergo MRI of the brain and FDG PET/CT brain as part of standard of care for radiation treatment planning. An additional 18F-FES PET/CT brain scan will be completed before this standard of care radiation treatment. Patients will be followed prospectively with clinical and MRI assessments per standard-of-care for a total of 12 months. Study Population: Patients with ER-positive breast cancer with biopsy proven or suspected new or recurrent brain metastases (based...
During a brain surgery targeted to remove a brain tumor, the neurosurgeon wakes up the patient to delimit the tumor area exactly, and identify the surrounding areas, to limit the surgery damages. The present project aims at testing the patient in this awake phase to determine the brain areas implied in time to contact (TTC) perception, a function that allows determining the arrival time of moving objects and used in many tasks of our daily life.
This clinical trial studies the use of 7-Tesla (7T)and 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in detecting brain diseases. 7T MRI has increased detection sensitivity, including more accurate lesion delineation, higher inter-rater agreement. Diagnostic procedures such as 7T MRI may help ultimately improved diagnostic and therapies confidence to inform decision making than standard 3T MRI.
Background: Accessing brain tumor material for pathological diagnosis requires invasive procedures that carry risk to patients including brain hemorrhages and death. Liquid biopsies are emerging non-invasive alternatives to direct tumour biopsies but the abundance of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is relatively low and this limits our ability to accurately make the molecular diagnosis of brain tumors. We have recently shown promising results that suggest that the analysis of blood samples can distinguish brain tumor types. We now want to couple liquid biopsies with high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to enhance the release of...
