The Safety and Effectiveness of NV-A01 in Glioma Patients
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and effectiveness of NV-A01 in the treatment of advanced glioma patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. The safety of NV-A01 in the treatment of advanced glioblastoma patients. 2. The effectiveness of NV-A01 in treating patients with advanced glioblastoma.

The Study Aims to Measure the Metabolome in Melanoma Patients Using NMR Spectroscopy and Gas Chromatography and to Analyse Differences Depending on the Course of the Disease.
Prospective, single-centre study with the central question of how the metabolome from blood samples, different body fluids and tissues between patients patients with malignant melanoma in different tumour tumour stages and healthy patients and whether this is suitable for early detection of initial diagnosis, recurrence or stage shift at an early stage. The biosamples are collected in the BioBank Dresden and used for the NMR and LC-MS analyses described here. It is planned to use the biosamples for further analyses.

The SUPRAMAX Study: Supramaximal Resection Versus Maximal Resection for High-Grade Glioma Patients (ENCRAM 2201)
A greater extent of resection of the contrast-enhancing (CE) tumor part has been associated with improved outcomes in high-grade glioma patients. Recent results suggest that resection of the non-contrast-enhancing (NCE) part might yield even better survival outcomes (supramaximal resection, SMR). Therefore, this study evaluates the efficacy and safety of SMR with and without mapping techniques in HGG patients in terms of survival, functional, neurological, cognitive, and quality of life outcomes. Furthermore, it evaluates which patients benefit the most from SMR, and how they could be identified preoperatively. This study is an international, multicenter, prospective, 2-arm...

The Use of Virtual Reality in Rehabilitation in Patients After Vestibular Schwannoma Surgery.
Resection of the vestibular schwannoma leads to acute peripheral or combined vestibular loss caused by a surgical lesion to the branches of the vestibular nerve and, less frequently also the lesion of the cerebellum. The lesion presents in patients with postural instability, vertigo, oscillopsia, and vegetative symptoms that may accompany it. The organism reacts to this state with the process of central compensation with the significant role of the cerebellum. The goal of the rehabilitation is to support this process and thus to make recovery faster and more efficient since not all patients are capable of complete restoration of the vestibular function. Up to date,...

Three miRNA Signatures in Glioma: From Molecular Mechanisms to Potential Clinical Application
Individual overexpression of the three miRNAs negatively affects cell viability and proliferation mainly in grade III IDH-wild type cells, while in higher grade cells, the effect is more pronounced when the entire signature is overexpressed, individual and combined overexpression of the signature members is able to determine a significant reduction in both migration and invasion. Therefore, ectopic expression of the miRNAs identified by us has a negative impact on cell viability, proliferation and apoptosis, but above all on migration and invasion.

TIL Therapy Combined With Pembrolizumab for Advanced Brain Cancer Including Gliomas and Meningiomas
This Phase I/II study evaluates the safety and efficacy of autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) therapy combined with Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) immunotherapy in patients with Advanced Brain Cancer including Gliomas and Meningiomas . Lifileucel (Amtagvi), the first FDA-approved TIL therapy, has demonstrated significant success in treating unresectable or metastatic melanoma by utilizing the patient's own immune cells to combat cancer. This study aims to apply a similar approach to Brain cancer. TILs will be harvested from patients' tumors, expanded in vitro, and infused back into the patients following a non-myeloablative lymphodepletion regimen. Pembrolizumab, a...

Tipifarnib and Naxitamab for Relapsed/Refractory Neuroblastoma
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the investigational drug, tipifarnib (a pill taken by mouth), in combination with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drug, naxitimab, administered intravenously (IV; a liquid that continuously goes into your body through a tube that has been placed during a surgery into one of your veins). Naxitamab is FDA approved for pediatric patients 1 year of age and older and adult patients with relapsed or refractory high-risk neuroblastoma in the bone or bone marrow who have demonstrated a partial response, minor response, or stable disease to prior therapy, it may not be approved in the type of disease used in this study. The goals...

Tirabrutinib Maintenance Versus Placebo in Patients With Primary CNS Lymphoma in Complete Remission (JCOG2104)
A double-blind, randomized phase II comparative trial will evaluate the superiority of the investigational treatment (tirabrutinib maintenance therapy) over standard care (observation with placebo) in terms of progression-free survival in patients with newly diagnosed primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) who have achieved complete response (CR or CRu) following induction therapy with high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX)-based chemotherapy and have not undergone consolidative whole-brain irradiation. Participants will: Take protocol drug tirabrutinib or a placebo every day until disease progression or experience of unacceptable toxicity. Visit the clinic once every 4...

Tiragolumab and Atezolizumab for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory SMARCB1 or SMARCA4 Deficient Tumors
This phase I/II trial studies how well tiragolumab and atezolizumab works when given to children and adults with SMARCB1 or SMARCA4 deficient tumors that have either come back (relapsed) or do not respond to therapy (refractory). SMARCB1 or SMARCA4 deficiency means that tumor cells are missing the SMARCB1 and SMARCA4 genes, seen with some aggressive cancers that are typically hard to treat. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as tiragolumab and atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
