Clinical Trial for the Validation of AR Based Neuronavigation System
The goal of this clinical trial is to test augmented reality (AR) based neuronavigation system in surgeries for patients of brain neoplasm or cerebral vascular disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: • AR based neuronavigation system can achieve accuracy that is not inferior to conventional intraoperative navigation system. Participants will participate the study after informed consent. When participants undergo surgery for their brain tumor, we will set up 2 types of neuronavigation, conventional navigation system and developed AR based neuronavigation system. Surgeon will plan and conduct surgery based on only conventional navigation system, but 3D errors at...

Clinical Trial of CD40L-augmented TIL for Patients With Advanced Melanoma
This is a phase I/II clinical trial of a single dose of CD40L-augmented TIL administered in patients with advanced melanoma (Cohort 1: Cutaneous acral melanoma, cutaneous non-acral melanoma, (n=26); Cohort 2: Mucosal melanoma, uveal melanoma, (n=10)). Patients will undergo an excision of a readily accessible tumor for preparation of TIL. Eligible patients with progressive disease after standard of care therapy will undergo lymphodepletion with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine followed by CD40L-augmented TIL and standard of care bolus dose interleukin-2 (short-course IL-2).

CM93 Treatment in Subjects With Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR)-Modified Recurrent Glioblastoma (rGBM)
This is a first-in-human study of CM93, an oral investigational drug, in adults with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-modified glioblastoma. The study is designed in three parts consisting of a dose-escalation phase, a dose-expansion phase and a window-of-opportunity surgical trial. The trial objectives are to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and clinical effects of CM93 in this patient population.

Cognition-preserving Brain Irradiation for Treating Patients With Intracranial Meningioma in the Era of Modern Radiotherapeutic Techniques Including Proton Beam Therapy - a Prospective Study Focusing on Radiological Outcomes and Neurocognitive Endpoints
【Background】For cranial-irradiation-naive patients with intracranial meningiomas at risk of local recurrence, the administration of conformal cranial radiotherapy can enhance tumor control in the current era of modern radiotherapeutic techniques. Life expectancy in patients with intracranial meningiomas, particularly non-malignant meningiomas (WHO grade I and II) is essentially similar to people of general population. However, RT-related neurocognitive function (NCF) sequelae are potentially and seriously a concern which should not be ignored. In terms of the natural course of cranial irradiation-induced NCF decline, it might vary considerably according to the specific domains...

Comparing 123I-MIBG and 18F-MFBG Imaging in Patients With Newly Diagnosed, High Risk Neuroblastoma
This phase II trial evaluates whether an investigational scan (18F-MFBG positron emission tomography [PET]/computed tomography [CT] or PET/magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) can accurately detect tumors in patients with newly diagnosed, high-risk neuroblastoma as well as standard of care imaging with 123 I-MIBG. 18F-MFBG is a radioactive diagnostic agent that is injected into a vein and taken up by tumor cells. The cells can then be visualized using PET/CT or PET/MRI scans. A PET scan uses radioactive material injected into the blood to show the internal workings of the body. A CT scan uses x-rays and a computer to produce a 3-dimensional image of the body. MRI uses radiofrequency...

Comparing Cosmetic Outcomes: Endoscopic vs. Conventional Craniotomy for Frontal Skull Base Lesions
This research study will compare the cosmetic outcomes, specifically scar assessment and complications, between two surgical approaches for treating frontal skull base lesions: the endoscopic supraorbital eyebrow craniotomy and the conventional frontal craniotomy. The study will aim to evaluate the differences in scar appearance, spread, erythema, suture marks, hypertrophy/atrophy, and overall impression between the two approaches using the Scar Cosmesis Assessment Rating (SCAR) scale. Additionally, it will examine patient-reported outcomes such as itch and pain. The study will follow a structured protocol, including random allocation to groups, preoperative assessments,...

Comparing the Radiopharmaceutical Drug, [177Lu]Lu-DOTATATE, to Standard of Care Treatment for Patients With Meningioma That Has Come Back After Prior Treatment
This is an open-label, multicenter, randomized, phase 2 clinical study to evaluate the efficacy of [177Lu]Lu-DOTATATE in patients with progressive grade 1-3 intracranial meningioma.

Comparison of 18F Labeled Analog of MIBG (18F-MFBG) PET/CT and 123I-MIBG SPECT in Pediatric Patients With Neuroblastoma.
The goals of the NEUROBLASTOTEP trial is to compare the diagnostics performance of a the 18F-metafluorobenzylguanidine (18F-MFBG) Positron Emission Tomography / Computed Tomography scan (PET/CT) compared to 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG scintigraphy (current gold standard) for imaging in neuroblastoma.

Comparison of Surgical Outcomes of Craniotomy and Craniectomy in Posterior Fossa Lesions
The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the surgical outcomes of craniotomy and craniectomy among patients with posterior fossa lesions. The study aims to determine differences in post-operative complications, hospital stay duration, and patient recovery between the two surgical techniques.
