Restrictive Use of Dexamethasone in Glioblastoma
The administration of steroids, most commonly dexamethasone (DEX), has established as standard of care during treatment of glioblastoma (GBM) and is widely used during the entire course of the disease including pre- and postoperative management, chemo- and radiotherapy. The primary purpose is to reduce tumor-associated vasogenic edema and to prevent or treat increased intracranial pressure. However, steroids are also linked to a multitude of adverse side effects that may affect survival of GBM patients such as major immunosuppression. The use of steroids during radiotherapy is associated with reduced overall- and progression-free survival and has been identified as an independent...

Retifanlimab with Bevacizumab and Hypofractionated Radiotherapy for the Treatment of Recurrent Glioblastoma
This phase II trial tests how well retifanlimab with bevacizumab and hypofractionated radiotherapy, compared to bevacizumab and hypofractionated radiotherapy alone, works in treating patients with glioblastoma that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as retifanlimab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Bevacizumab is in a class of medications called antiangiogenic...

Retinoblastoma Phase II Expanded Access Clinical Trial
In this research study investigators want to learn more about treatment of advanced or recurrent retinoblastoma. For children with retinoblastoma that have an advanced stage of presentation in one eye or if they have failed all conventional treatment, eye removal is considered. This study will investigate the utility of a chemoplaque(s) to salvage eyes involved with retinoblastoma. The goal of the study is to further determine/assess the safety and efficacy and optimal chemotherapy dose for retinoblastoma.

Retinoblastoma Survivor Study: Assessment of General Health and Quality of Life
The purpose of this study is to find out about the quality of life and health in a group of adults who had retinoblastoma when they were children. By quality of life, we mean how you are feeling about being satisfied with things in your life, including your physical health, your emotional health, and your ability to carry out daily activities. We hope that this information will help us provide better care to future children with retinoblastoma and better follow-up care for survivors of retinoblastoma.

Retrospective Register for Uveal Melanoma
Background: Uveal melanoma (UM) is a common primary ocular malignancy associated with limited overall survival in the advanced stage of the disease. Fundamental breakthrough regarding the management of the disease and the overall-survival have not yet been achieved. Studies with large cohorts are difficult to perform due to limited patient numbers, therefore retrospective analyses are of great potential to gain further knowledge in a disease with high clinical needs. Aim: The proposed project is a register for patients with UM treated at the Department of Ophthalmology and Optometry at the Medical University of Vienna between 01.01.1997 and 31.12.2021. Patients and Methods:...

Review of the Literature and Serie of Patients Who Underwent Reconstruction After Wide Local Excision of Nail Apparatus for Melanoma
Melanomas of the nail bed are often diagnosed at the locally advanced stage. The standard treatment was amputation of the finger or toe, but it has now been established that enlarged excision of the nail plate is sufficient under certain conditions. Reconstruction of the nail system can be performed by several techniques. Here, the investigators present a series of patients reconstructed by INTEGRA (dermal matrix) and skin graft

rHSC-DIPGVax Plus Checkpoint Blockade for the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed DIPG and DMG
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.
