Short Versus Long-term Levetiracetam in Brain Tumors
Levetiracetam is the commonly preferred anti-seizure medicine in patients with brain tumors. This drug has reduced the risk of seizure events occurring but is associated with a risk of side effects such as increased headache, drowsiness, loss of muscle coordination, and psychological challenges in patients. In patients undergoing appropriate treatment for brain tumors and controlled of seizures in the initial few months of levetiracetam, the chance of further seizures is relatively low. The optimal duration to give levetiracetam is not well defined for these patients, and currently as standard treatment levetiracetam is continued for 2-3 years. This study aims to answer this...

SILibinin in NSCLC and BC Patients With Single Brain METastasis (SILMET)
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of silibinin in preventing recurrence in the brain after complete resection of a brain metastasis (BM) from non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or breast cancer (BC).

Silmitasertib (CX-4945) in Combination With Chemotherapy for Relapsed Refractory Solid Tumors
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the investigational drug, silmitasertib (a pill taken by mouth), in combination with FDA approved drugs for solid tumors. An investigational drug is one that has not been approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), or any other regulatory authorities around the world for use alone or in combination with any drug, for the condition or illness it is being used to treat. The goals of this part of the study are: - Establish a recommended dose of silmitasertib in combination with chemotherapy - Test the safety and tolerability of silmitasertib in combination with chemotherapy in subjects with cancer - To...

SIMPLIFication of Care Pathways for Patients with Rare Brain Tumors Through Artificial Intelligence
This study focuses on rare brain tumors, which are heterogeneous entities with different morphological, biological, and clinical characteristics. Due to their rarity, many of these tumors fall under the RARECARE definition of rare tumors. The main objective of the study is to standardize care models and pathways for patients with rare brain tumors, using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques to identify specific predictors of postoperative outcomes. The study includes both retrospective and prospective phases, with the collection of clinical, cognitive, and psychological data at various time points. Patients will undergo an early neuro-cognitive...

Simulation-Based Caregiving Skills Training for Family Members of High Grade Glioma Patients
Family caregivers of patients with a primary brain tumor experience a high caregiving load including assistance with activities of daily living without any formal training. It is not surprising that this vulnerable caregiver population reports high levels of distress along with numerous caregiving-related concerns, which may compromise their ability to provide quality care. This project will examine the feasibility and initial evidence for efficacy of a caregiving skills intervention aiming to improve caregiver and patient psychological health; caregiving efficacy and role adjustment; and reduce patient cancer-related symptoms and healthcare utilization.

Simulation Training in Emergency Department Imaging 2
Background and study aims: Computerised Tomography (CT) head scans are frequently requested by Emergency Department (ED) clinicians as one of the investigations for their patients. This often causes a delay when waiting for specialist radiologists to report the findings of the scan. The purpose of this study is to see if online training can improve the ability of ED clinicians to interpret the scans themselves, to a level sufficient to make clinical decisions based on their findings and to explore what aspects of this process they find most challenging. Participants: Emergency Department clinicians who are working in the Emergency Departments of participating sites between...

Simultaneous Multinuclear Metabolic MRI in Newly Diagnosed or Recurrent Glioma
This clinical trial constructs and tests a novel multinuclear metabolic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequence in patients with glioma (brain tumor) that is newly diagnosed or has come back (recurrent). This trial aims to develop new diagnostic imaging technology that may bridge gaps between early detection and diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment in brain cancer.

Single Arm Study of Induction Chemoradiotherapy Combined With Surgery in the Treatment of Locally Advanced SNMM
Sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM) is a very rare tumor, and SNMM is highly aggressive in nature, with a 5-year survival rate of about 20~30%. Most patients underwent local recurrence and distant metastasis within one or two years of treatment. There is no unified standard for the treatment of SNMM.The principle of treatment for surgically resectable stage T3 and partial T4 SNMM is complete resection of the primary tumor, combined with postoperative radiotherapy. While locally unresectable SNMM has a poorer prognosis, lower incidence, fewer clinical data have been reported. This study will explore the role of preoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy in improving the 2-year OS...
