Ovarian Reserve and Semen Parameters Evolution During Adjuvant Therapy in Melanoma
Prospective multicentric study including women aged 18 to 37 and men aged 18 to 45 during their visit to centers for the study and storage of human sperm and eggs (CECOS). Subjects will be included before adjuvant treatment initiation (T0) and immediately after treatment (approximately 1 year after initiation, T1), and, in late post treatment (1 year after treatment cessation, T2). Expected results: This study will evaluate the evolution of AMH, AFC, and semen parameters in our cohort of melanoma patients treated with anti-PD-1 and targeted therapy in an adjuvant and neoadjuvantsettings.

Oxidative Phosphorylation Targeting In Malignant Glioma Using Metformin Plus Radiotherapy Temozolomide
Tailored approaches targeting crucial oncogenes and pathways have shown successful results in a number of cancer types and offer exciting perspective in neuro-oncology. IDH (Isocitrate dehydrogenase) wild-type (IDHwt) glioblastoma (GBM) (10%) present a unique and homogenous energetic metabolism which is specifically dependent on the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) rather than on the aerobic glycolysis. OXPHOS+ IDHwt GBMs overexpress mitochondrial markers and can be specifically inhibited by mitochondrial inhibitors in vitro and in vivo. Metformin is an oral inhibitor of mitochondrial complex I and is a widely used drug in diabetic and non-diabetic patients, safe and well...

Oxygen-Enhanced MRI for Generating Hypoxia Maps in Patients With Intracranial Tumors
This clinical trial evaluates the feasibility of performing oxygen-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to generate hypoxia maps in patients with intracranial tumors. Decreased levels of oxygen (hypoxia) is a hallmark of malignant brain tumors. Chronic hypoxia is a stimulator of blood vessel formation, which is required for tumor growth and spread. Hypoxia also limits the effectiveness of radiation and chemotherapy. MRI is an imaging technique that uses radiofrequency waves and a strong magnetic field rather than x-rays to provide detailed pictures of internal organs and tissues. The administration of inhaled oxygen allows for an increased MRI signal effect size....

Pancreatic Cancer Screening Through the Detection of Elastase-1 Combined With Other Examinations
This is a prospective cohort study. The investigators enroll subjects with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), individuals at high risk for PDAC, patients with other pancreatic diseases, patients with CA19-9 elevation and controls without pancreatic disease. This study aims to establish a diagnostic prediction model by using elastase 1, common clinical serological examinations, and imaging examinations including endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), and to explore the diagnostic ability of the model in the high-risk population of PDAC. Besides, the investigators search for new biomarkers by multi-omics studies of serum and pancreatic tissues to further improve the...

Pancreatic Radiofrequency Under High Echo-endoscopy in the Management of Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors
Pancreatic radiofrequency ablation (RFA) could therefore be an alternative to the monitoring of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) and more particularly nonfunctioning PNETs (NF-PNETs), which is costly and anxiety-inducing for patients. To date, only a few small studies have evaluated this treatment and the results are encouraging. It appears necessary to consider a large-scale study to ensure the efficacy and low morbidity of pancreatic RFA applied to PNETs.

Panitumumab-IRDye800 in Diagnosing Participants With Malignant Glioma Undergoing Surgery
The phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of panitumumab-IRDye800 in diagnosing participants with malignant glioma who undergo surgery. Panitumumab-IRDye800 can attach to tumor cells and make them more visible using a special camera during surgery, which may help surgeons better distinguish tumor cells from normal brain tissue and identify small tumors that cannot be seen using current imaging methods.

PARP Inhibitor With 177Lu-DOTA-Octreotate PRRT in Patients With Neuroendocrine Tumours
This phase 1 dose-escalation study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of talazoparib in combination with 177Lu-DOTA-Octreotate peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) in patients with metastatic pancreatic or midgut neuroendocrine tumour (NET).

Patient and Caregiver Priorities in Neuro-oncology Care
This study is being done to identify patient and caregiver burdens regarding their experience with diagnosis and treatment of CNS tumors. These results will help doctors find areas where patients and caregivers may need more support.

Patient Decision Aid in Supporting Decision-Making About When to Start or Stop New Drugs, Join Clinical Trials, or Continue Active Surveillance in Patients With Medullary Thyroid Cancer and Their Caregivers
This trial develops and studies how well a patient decision aid works in supporting decision-making about when to start or stop new drugs, join clinical trials, or continue active cancer monitoring for patients with medullary thyroid cancer and their caregivers. Developing a patient decision aid may help patients with medullary thyroid cancer make well-informed decisions about their cancer care and be able to discuss their preferences with their doctors.
