Multi-disciplinary Care for Brain Metastases
This is a health services intervention study aimed at understanding the impact of intensive multi-disciplinary care compared with standard care on patient-reported symptom outcomes and prognostic awareness in patients with brain metastases.

Multi-modular Chimeric Antigen Receptor Targeting GD2 in Neuroblastoma
MAGNETO is a single-centre, non-randomised, open label Phase I clinical trial of an Advanced Therapy Investigational Medicinal Product (ATIMP) in children and teenagers aged 1-16 years with relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma. The study will assess the feasibility of generating the ATIMP (GD2 CAR T cells) and the safety of administering the ATIMP in patients with relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma.

Multiomic Approach to Radioresistance of Ependymomas in Children and Adolescents
Treatment of childhood ependymoma, the second most frequent pediatric brain tumor, is based on surgery and radiation therapy. However, 50% relapse, mainly locally. Progress in imaging, molecular biology and radiotherapy ballistics has led us to propose the EPENDYMOMICS project, a multi-omics approach using artificial intelligence to detect the predictive characteristics of relapse, and to define innovative radiotherapy targets using multimodal imaging. We previously reported that the relapse sites are mainly located in the high-dose radiotherapy zone and that there appear to be prognostic factors for relapse based on anatomical and functional MRI abnormalities by diffusion...

Multiparametic Metabolic and Hypoxic PET/MRI for Disease Assessment in High Grade Glioma
This feasibility study will assess the clinical potential of a new imaging approach to detect viable high grade glioma (HGG) in pediatric and adult patients after standard of care radiation therapy (RT) with or without concurrent temozolomide (TMZ). Study participants will undergo simultaneous positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) with O-([2-[F-18]fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine (FET, amino acid transport) and 1H-1-(3-[F-18]fluoro-2-hydroxypropyl)-2-nitroimidazole (FMISO, hypoxia) at the time of standard of care imaging after completion of RT. The presence of viable tumor at this time point will be assessed on a per patient basis. Study participants will be...

Multiple Dose Intraventricular Administration of Rhenium-186 NanoLiposome for Leptomeningeal Metastases
This is an open-label, multicenter, Phase 1 study to determine the safety and efficacy of multiple doses at defined intervals of rhenium (186Re) obisbemeda (rhenium-186 nanoliposome, 186RNL) administered via intraventricular catheter for any primary solid tumor cancer with leptomeningeal metastases to identify an MTD/MFD for a given dose, interval duration, and number of doses.

Multiple Intracerebral Doses of Neural Stem Cell-Based Virotherapy (NSC-CRAd-S-pk7) for the Treatment of Recurrent High-Grade Gliomas
This phase I trial studies the safety of giving multiple intracerebral doses of NSC-CRAd-S-pk7 to treat patients with glioblastoma at first recurrence. NSC-CRAd-S-pk7 consists of neural stem cells that can target glioblastoma cells and carry a virus, which can kill cancer cells. Giving multiple doses of NSC-CRAd-S-pk7 may kill more tumor cells.

Multitracer [18F]Fluciclovine and 18F-FDG PET, and Advanced MRI for Metabolic Profiling of Glioblastoma
- To perform metabolic phenotyping of treatment naïve and recurrent GBM by multitracer [18F]Fluciclovine and 18F-FDG PET. - To compare uptake measures of 18F-Fluciclovine and 18F-FDG and MRI quantification of glutamate and lactate levels to tumor tissue laboratory assays (RNA seq and proteomics) of glutamine/glutamate, glucose, and lactate metabolism. - To perform metabolic phenotyping of treatment naïve and recurrent GBM by advanced MRI methods at 7 Tesla

MUSic Therapy In Complex Specialist Neurorehabilitation
Aim: Investigate whether patients undergoing specialist rehabilitation after complex neurological injury show different functional outcomes if music therapy is included in their rehabilitation program compared to usual care. Background: Patients with complex needs following a brain, spinal cord, and/or peripheral nerve injury often require a period of specialist neurorehabilitation. This involves multiple therapy disciplines, led by a Consultant in Rehabilitation Medicine, Neurology, or Neuropsychiatry. Although music therapy is suggested to enhance neuroplasticity and recovery in patients with brain injury, it is not routinely commissioned in clinical care due to a lack of...

Mycophenolate Mofetil in Combination With Standard of Care for the Treatment of Glioblastoma
This phase I/Ib trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of mycophenolate mofetil in combination with temozolomide and/or radiation therapy (standard of care) in treating patients with glioblastoma. Mycophenolate mofetil is an immunosuppressant drug that is typically used to prevent organ rejection in transplant recipients. However, mycophenolate mofetil may also help chemotherapy with temozolomide work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug. The purpose of this trial is to determine if mycophenolate mofetil combined with temozolomide can stop glioblastoma.

Myeloablative Consolidation Therapy and Tandem Autologous Stem Cell Rescue in Patients With High-Risk Neuroblastoma
This is a phase II single center study to administer two courses of myeloablative consolidation chemotherapy each followed by an autologous peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) rescue in patients with high-risk neuroblastoma who have completed induction chemotherapy (independent of this study). Ideally, patients should begin consolidation chemotherapy no later than 8 weeks after the start of Induction Cycle #5; however it is strongly recommended to begin consolidation within 4-6 weeks after the start of Induction Cycle #5.
