The purpose of this research is to see if monitoring the brain using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after radiation therapy will allow investigators to find cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastases) before it causes symptoms.
The objectives of this registry study are to evaluate real-world clinical outcomes and patient reported outcomes that measure the effectiveness and safety of STaRT.
The LoG-Glio-Registry is based on a network of german hospitals gathering radiological, clinical, epidemiological and molecular data on all patients diagnosed with a low grade glioma.
This is a single-arm, non-randomized study of re-irradiation of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG)
Randomized, post-market multi-center study investigating the efficacy of two sets of treatment algorithms in brain metastases (BM) patients at the time of first intervention for radiographic progression after stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), with or without surgery.
Primary brain cancer kills up to 10,000 Americans a year. These brain tumors are typically treated by surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, either individually or in combination. Present therapies are inadequate, as evidenced by the low 5-year survival rate for brain cancer patients, with median survival at approximately 12 months. Glioma is the most common form of primary brain cancer, afflicting approximately 7,000 patients in the United States each year. These highly malignant cancers remain a significant unmet clinical need in oncology. The investigators have completed a Phase I clinical trial that has shown that...
This trial is a paucicentric, clinico-biological cohort study with retrospective and prospective enrollment, aiming to identify biomarkers predictive of response to Proton Beam Therapy (PBT) in cancer patients (high grade sarcoma, brain tumors and meningioma). This study include collection of clinical data, of tumor samples (collected during standard of care) and a blood sample for alive patients.
Retrospectively analyzing the epidemiological and clinical characteristics, treatment, recurrence, prognosis and prognostic factors of the germ-cell tumors of central nervous system in a single center.
This is a phase I, open label, plus expansion clinical trial evaluating the safety and tolerability of rHSC-DIPGVax in combination with BALSTILIMAB and ZALIFRELIMAB. rHSC-DIPGVax is an off-the-shelf neo-antigen heat shock protein containing 16 peptides reflecting neo-epitopes found in the majority of DIPG and DMG tumors. Newly diagnosed patients with DIPG and DMG who have completed radiation six to ten weeks prior to enrollment are eligible.
Upwards of 40% of cancer patients will develop brain metastases during their illness, most of which become symptomatic. The burden of brain metastases impacts the quality and length of survival. Thus the management of brain metastases is a significant health care problem. Standard treatment options include stereotactic radiosurgery and/or whole brain radiation. There is a great interest in studying the association between the functional characteristics of tumors - such as tumour hypoxia and lactate accumulation - and clinical outcomes in order to guide management. These characteristics may predict future tumor behavior and stratify ...
