Window of Opportunity Study of DSP-0390 in Gliomas
This study focuses on determining the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effect of DSP-0390 in brain and blood from patients with IDH-mutant WHO grade II or III glioma undergoing tumor resection. Tissue will be collected during surgical resection. Blood will be drawn at various time points throughout the 2 weeks of treatment. The hypothesis is that DSP-0390 will accumulate in brain tumor tissue at pharmacologically relevant concentrations, and that alterations in cholesterol metabolism driven by mutant IDH will increase susceptibility to DSP-0390 and lead to tumor cell death.

WoW - Single- vs Two-staged Excisions of Thin Melanoma
The overall aim of this national, multicenter, prospective, randomized, and controlled study is to enhance the management of patients with thin melanoma (≤1 mm Breslow thickness). The investigators hypothesize that wide local excisions (WLEs) following complete excision of thin melanoma do not affect the risk of recurrence, defined as the occurrence of local, regional, distant disease, or melanoma-specific death during a 5- to 10-year follow-up period.

WP1066 and Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma
This phase II trial tests how well the combination of WP1066 and radiation therapy works in treating newly diagnosed glioblastoma. Glioblastoma is difficult to treat effectively because the cells within the tumor vary widely and are controlled by factors within and around the tumor, requiring multiple approaches to treat the tumor. The study drug WP1066 targets a specific pathway, known as STAT3, which is responsible for promoting tumor growth and causing the body's immune system to avoid attacking the tumor. Radiation therapy prevents glioblastoma from growing. Giving WP1066 with radiation therapy may prevent glioblastoma from growing and prolong survival.

WSD0922-FU for the Treatment of Glioblastoma, Anaplastic Astrocytoma, or Non-small Cell Lung Cancer With Central Nervous System Metastases
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of WSD0922-FU for the treatment of glioblastoma, anaplastic astrocytoma, or non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the central nervous system (central nervous system metastases). WSD0922-FU is a targeted treatment which blocks the EGFR protein - a strategy that has led to a lot of benefit in patients with many different cancers. WSD0922-FU may also be able to get into cancers in the brain and spinal cord and help patients with brain and spinal cord cancers.

xPedite: A Study to Expedite DIPG and DMG Research
This study will gather data from new and existing patients with patient medical records, and patient/family/caregiver reported information to establish a clear natural history of disease suitable to serve as an external, contemporary or historical control arm for future therapeutic development programs of drugs, devices, or biologic interventions in DMG or DIPG.

X-ray Psoralen Activated Cancer Therapy in Head and Neck, Breast, Sarcoma and Melanoma
In this Phase I trial for subjects with advanced head & neck cancer, breast cancer, soft tissue sarcoma or melanoma all subjects will receive open label X-PACT treatment as a intra-tumoral injection. The primary objective will be to establish the safety of X-PACT when dosed with 5 intra-tumoral injections of the combination product (the phosphor device and methoxsalen sterile solution and subsequently exposing the tumor to X-ray energy) over a period of 6 weeks (on day D1, D3 and D5 of Week 1, on D1 of Week 2, and a booster on D1 of Week 6). After the week 8 tumor assessment subjects demonstrating stable disease, partial response or unconfirmed progression assessed by iRecist, will...

YOUNg Adults With Gastro-inteSTinal (GI) and nEuroendocrine canceRs.
The objective of the study is to create a common and unique platform for the acquisition of biological samples and, subsequently, the possible identification of predictive and prognostic biomarkers for young adults with gastrointestinal and neuroendocrine cancers.The definition "adolescent and young adults (AYA)" covers a broad group of patients ranging from the upper limit of the paediatric competence to the youngest patients usually considered and treated as adults. However, a well-defined and universally accepted age range is still not established. Young adults with cancer have distinct epidemiological, biological, and clinical characteristics, as well as special medical and...

Young Melanoma Family Facebook Intervention or Healthy Lifestyle Facebook Intervention in Improving Skin Examination in Participants With Melanoma and Their Families
This trial studies how well Young Melanoma Family Facebook intervention or Healthy Lifestyle Facebook intervention works in improving skin examination in participants with melanoma and their families. Young Melanoma Family Facebook intervention or Healthy Lifestyle Facebook intervention may help improve total cutaneous examinations, skin self-examinations, and sun protection among first degree relatives of young onset participants and the participants themselves.
