Computer-based Neurocognitive Assessment in Children With Central Nervous System Tumors Receiving Proton Beam Radiation Therapy
This study will explore neurocognitive performance in pediatric brain tumor patients receiving proton beam radiation therapy (PBRT). The investigators goal is to gather baseline neurocognitive testing prior to the completion of the first week of radiation therapy along with follow-up testing 6-12 months after the completion of radiation and serial annual testing thereafter. With these data the investigators plan to evaluate the effects of PBRT on neurocognitive performance as it relates to patients' age at diagnosis, tumor location, and radiation dose. Modeling studies have demonstrated that PBRT could improve neurocognitive ...

Concordance and Accuracy of MRI in the Detection of Meningiomas: Optimizing Sequences With Low Doses of Gadolinium
Meningioma, an extra-axial brain tumor developed at the expense of meninges, accounts for 35% of central nervous system tumors, and its incidence is estimated at 3% in large autopsy series. The current gold standard for screening and monitoring cerebral meningiomas is MRI with injection of gadoline-contrast product. However, the use of some of these products is problematic, due to gadolinium deposits observed in patients who have had several injections during their lifetime, especially in patients followed for multiple sclerosis. Recently, the French National Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Health Products (ANSM) ...

Contribution of the CEST Sequence in the Characterization of Radionecrosis of Brain Metastases of Pulmonary Origin
The aim of the study is to determine whether the use of the CEST sequence would have diagnostic performance equivalent to the reference method of T2* infusion with contrast injection in the diagnosis of radionecrosis of lung cancer brain metastases.

CONVIVO Endomicroscopy
Visualization of the tissue microstructure during neurosurgery using a non destructive handheld imaging technology producing a real time digital image ("optical biopsy") at cellular resolution is a novel method that holds great promise for optimization and improvement of the surgical treatment of brain pathologies, brain tumors in particular. The goal of this project is to investigate and assess the ease of use of the CONVIVO FDA cleared system in discriminating healthy and abnormal tissues during in vivo use on the brain during neurosurgery in 30 patients with a working diagnosis of intrinsic brain tumors.

Crizanlizumab Alone or in Combination With Nivolumab for Glioblastoma and Melanoma With Brain Metastases
A single-center, open-label, non-randomized phase I/II study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerance of crizanlizumab monotherapy and in combination with nivolumab in patients with advanced glioblastoma (GB) who exhausted standard of care (SOC) therapy, patients with metastatic brain melanoma (MBM) and patients with newly diagnosed unmethylated GB. Subjects will be screened for up to 28 days prior to treatment initiation. Eligible subjects will be allocated to one of 3 cohorts: Cohort 1: Patients with metastatic melanoma with primarily diagnosed or newly progressing brain metastases who failed immunotherapy. ...

Data Collection for the Assessment of Acute and Late Normal Tissue in Patients Treated With Proton Therapy
This study collects information on the side effects of proton therapy and detailed information on the proton therapy treatment plan itself. This may help researchers develop methods to predict the risk of side effects for future patients and learn the long-term benefit of proton therapy.

DAY101 vs. Standard of Care Chemotherapy in Pediatric Patients With Low-Grade Glioma Requiring First-Line Systemic Therapy (LOGGIC/FIREFLY-2)
This is a 2-arm, randomized, open-label, multicenter, global, Phase 3 trial to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of DAY101 monotherapy versus standard of care (SoC) chemotherapy in patients with pediatric low-grade glioma (LGG) harboring an activating rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma (RAF) alteration requiring front-line systemic therapy.
