Novel Molecular Targets and Innovative Therapeutic Perspective in Medulloblastoma
Medulloblastoma (MB), a rare yet critical pediatric brain tumor, is divided into 4 molecular subgroups (WNT, SHH, Group 3, Group 4), each with distinct genetic profiles. Despite diagnostic and therapeutic advances, neurotoxicity from standard treatments (resection, radiotherapy, chemotherapy) and the need for long-term care remain challenges. CDK4/6 inhibitors (palbociclib, ribociclib, abemaciclib), approved for breast cancer, show potential in other tumors, but their efficacy in MB is unclear. Treatment resistance is a concern. This project aims to identify genetic markers of sensitivity to CDK4/6 inhibitors in MB, to improve therapies and overcome resistance.

Observational Study for Assessing Treatment and Outcome of Patients With Primary Brain Tumours Using cIMPACT-NOW and 2021 WHO Classification
Every new classification depends on its prognostic power and on the type of treatment given. With the rapid evolution of diagnostic methods and the advance in new treatments, there is much less reliable information available on how patients with newly defined brain tumour entities should be treated and what to expect from the current treatments. The goal is to determine whether the new 2021 WHO classification, based on cIMPACT-NOW recommendations, results in more homogeneous patient groups than the old 2016 classification. Furthermore, it will help derive provisional guidelines on how patients with these newly defined tumour entities are best treated. These recommendations will...

Observational Study of Iris Tumors
This is an observational study using OCT angiography to assist with tumor characterization in melanotic and amelanotic iris lesions. OCT angiography data from healthy eyes will be compared to eyes with various types of iris tumors.

Observational Study of Patients With Advanced Melanoma (Skin Cancer) to Assess if IOpener®-Melanoma Test Can Predict Response to Immunotherapy.
The goal of this observational study is to assess whether the IOpener® melanoma test can assist treating physicians in deciding which therapy is most suitable for patients with skin cancer (advanced cutaneous melanoma). For this purpose it is evaluated how well the IOpener-melanoma test can predict the result of cancer treatment in the treatment groups (standard of care anti-PD1 mono-therapy and standard of care anti-PD1 + anti-CTLA-4 therapy). Participants will be asked to provide blood sample for analysis using IOpener®-melanoma test. Patients will receive regular medical care, the test results will not be used to make any treatment decisions. The patients will visit the...

Observation or Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed Grade II Meningioma That Has Been Completely Removed by Surgery
This randomized phase III trial studies how well radiation therapy works compared with observation in treating patients with newly diagnosed grade II meningioma that has been completely removed by surgery. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors.
