RAPA-201 Therapy of Solid Tumors
The therapy of solid tumors has been revolutionized by immune therapy, in particular, approaches that activate immune T cells in a polyclonal manner through blockade of checkpoint pathways such as PD-1 by administration of monoclonal antibodies. In this study, the investigators will evaluate the adoptive transfer of RAPA-201 cells, which are checkpoint-deficient polyclonal T cells that represent an analogous yet distinct immune therapy treatment platform for solid tumors. The administration of polyclonal, metabolically-fit RAPA-201 cells is a novel adoptive T cell therapy approach that is suitable for regenerative medicine efforts. RAPA-201 is a novel immunotherapy product...

RAPid SimPLE Targeted Radiation Treatment for Brain Metastases
The aim of the study is to show that rapid, simple targeted radiotherapy to brain metastases with 8 Gy / 1 is non-inferior to 20 Gy / 5 in terms of overall survival for patients with poor prognosis.

Rare Disease Patient Registry & Natural History Study - Coordination of Rare Diseases at Sanford
CoRDS, or the Coordination of Rare Diseases at Sanford, is based at Sanford Research in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It provides researchers with a centralized, international patient registry for all rare diseases. This program allows patients and researchers to connect as easily as possible to help advance treatments and cures for rare diseases. The CoRDS team works with patient advocacy groups, individuals and researchers to help in the advancement of research in over 7,000 rare diseases. The registry is free for patients to enroll and researchers to access. Visit sanfordresearch.org/CoRDS to enroll.

Rare Embryonal Tumors of the Central Nervous System: International Registry
Central nervous system (CNS) tumors are the most common solid malignancies among children. Although some types of CNS tumors like medulloblastomas and low-grade gliomas are widespread and well-studied, there is a huge number of rare diseases that need further research. This international registry aims to establish a large multicenter database of pediatric and young adult patients with rare embryonal tumors of the central nervous system and describe the clinical presentations, diagnostics, treatment regimens, and outcomes. Embryonal tumors with multilayered rosettes (ETMR), FOXR2-activated CNS neuroblastoma, cribriform neuroepithelial tumor, and CNS tumor with BCOR internal...

RB Liquid Biopsy Biorepository
Retinoblastoma (RB) is a primary eye cancer that forms in the back of the eye of infants and toddlers. Traditionally, RB is diagnosed without a biopsy; tumor can only be studied once an eye has been surgically removed. Given this limitation, we use aqueous humor (AH), the clear fluid in the front of the eye to detect specific markers, or information, that comes from the tumor itself.

Real-life Pharmacological Monitoring of Encorafenib-Binimetinib in the Treatment of Metastatic Melanoma
In recent years, the prognosis for BRAFV600E-mutant metastatic melanoma has been transformed with targeted therapies combining BRAF and MEK inhibitors (dabrafenib-trametinib and encorafenib-cobimetinib), which have improved progression-free survival and overall survival. However, adverse events are very frequent, and a significant proportion of patients progress secondarily. Several clinical studies have shown that inter-individual variability in plasma exposure to BRAF inhibitors (dabrafenib, vemurafenib) or MEK inhibitors (trametinib) may contribute in part to the occurrence of severe toxicities, and on the efficiency of the treatment. To our knowledge, no data are currently...

"Receptor Radionuclide Therapy With 177Lu-DOTATOC
Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) may be recommended in G1- G2 GEP-NET patients with disease progression on somatostatine analogues therapy (LUTATHERA®). However, there are several diseases, including neuroendocrine neoplasia not originating from the digestive tract, for which the efficacy of PRRT has already been demonstrated, but which are not currently within the indications of LUTATHERA and therefore cannot benefit from it (i.e. bronchopulmonary, ovarian, renal NETs and neuroendocrine carcinomas). Moreover, the role of PRRT is also accepted in Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs), Meningiomas, but also as a salvage therapy in pre-treated NET pts, and other...
