Dermoscopy Augmented Histology Trial, a Randomized Controlled Trial
Pathologists provide the current gold standard in skin lesion diagnostics, most often primarily based on the interpretation of histological slides. Still, it has been suggested that pathologists' diagnostic accuracy and confidence could be improved if they gained access to additional clinical information and in-vivo clinical and dermoscopic images of melanocytic tumors. This study examines the effect of digital training for pathologists in interpreting dermoscopic and clinical skin tumor images. Aim: To examine how case-based online training in interpreting clinical and dermoscopic images affects a pathologist's ability to diagnose skin tumors. Data collection of DAHT...

Determine Maximum Tolerated Dose, Safety, and Tolerability of Rhenium (186Re) in Pediatric Recurrent, Refractory or Progressive Ependymoma and High-Grade Glioma
Pediatric patients 6-21 years of age with supratentorial recurrent, refractory, or progressive pediatric ependymoma and high-grade glioma (HGG) will be included in this study of treatment with Rhenium-186 Nanoliposome (186RNL). Phase 1 of the study will look to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of 186RNL in this patient population. Phase 2 of the study will use the recommended dose determined in Phase 1 to continue to look at overall response rate and progression-free survival following 186RNL treatment.

Determining Patterns In Study Experiences of Neuroblastoma Patients
Historically, participation in clinical research is highly skewed towards particular demographic groups of people. This study will invite several participants to gather a wide range of information on clinical trial experiences for neuroblastoma patients. The aim of the study is to identify the factors that limit the ability of a person to enroll in, as well as complete a clinical trial for treatment of neuroblastoma. The data collected from this study will help improve future outcomes for all neuroblastoma patients as well as those in under-represented demographic groups.

Development of a Predictive Model for the Risk of Metastatic Disease in PPGLs, a Retrospective Cohort Study
Phaeochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) are tumours of the adrenal medulla and extra-adrenal sympathetic nervous system, some which can become metastatic. It is a very rare disease and the tumours are often detected late. Approximately 50 % of the tumours are caused by germline genetic variants screening programmes are recommended for patients and their family members; however, they are not yet well-targeted with respect to individual prognosis. In this study the investigatorscaim to characterize the genotype-phenotype associations in all Danish patients (n=400) diagnosed with PPGLs who have been followed in tertiary centres using medical records and national registries....

Different Approaches for CART-EGFR-IL13Ra2 Dosing in Recurrent GBM
This is an open-label, phase 1b study to evaluate different approaches for CART-EGFR-IL13Ra2 dosing and further characterize the safety, feasibility, preliminary efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of CART-EGFR-IL13Ra2 cells in patients with EGFR-amplified glioblastoma that has recurred following prior radiotherapy.

Direct Comparison of Ga-68-DOTATATE and Ga-68-DOTATOC
The goal of this study is to propose the first direct comparison of Ga-68-DOTATATE PET/CT or PET/MR and Ga-68-DOTATOC PET/CT in patients with meningioma.

Disulfiram/Copper Combination In The Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma Multiform
Glioblastoma multiform (GBM) is the most common malignant primary brain tumor in adults. Despite maximal treatment tumor relapse occurs regularly accompanied by unfavourable prognosis. Among other reasons, it is believed that this could be in part due to the existence of the so-called tumor stem cells (TSCs), a cellular subfraction within GBM which escape therapy by being highly resistant to irradiation and chemotherapy and thus constituting the source of tumor recurrence. GBM, like many other cancers, show a sub-population of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) overexpressing TSCs. More specifically, ALDH1A1, a cytoplasmatic isoform of ALDH, proved to be a novel stem cell marker in...

DOTATATE PET for Meningioma Radiation Planning
68Ga-DOTATATE-based radionuclides are a novel modality in the diagnosis and treatment of central nervous system meningioma. DOTATATE is a ligand for the SSTR (somatostatin receptor), which is expressed in meningioma but not in normal brain or bone. It is also more effective than MRI in delineating tumor, which is the current imaging standard for assessing meningioma. For radiation planning, it can help to reduce the risk of geometrical miss, identify area that require dose-escalation, and reduce dose to normal tissue. The purpose of the study is to compare the radiation therapy (RT) contouring and planning for meningioma with and without the use of 68Ga-DOTATATE-PET

Double Dose of Third-generation EGFR-TKI Plus Intrathecal Pemetrexed Versus Double Dose of Third-generation EGFR-TKI in Patients With LM Progression Following the Treatment of Routine Dose of Third-generation EGFR-TKI
We aim to compare the efficacy and safety of double Dose of Third-generation EGFR-TKI Plus Intrathecal Pemetrexed Versus double Dose of Third-generation EGFR-TKI in patients with leptomeningeal progression following the treatment of routine dose of EGFR-TKI,

Dual Energy CT - a Tool for Delineation of Tumor and Organs at Risk in Radiotherapy
The primary aim of this clinical study, 'Dual Energy CT - a tool for delineation of tumor and organs at risk in radiotherapy' (DART) is to evaluate whether dual-energy CT (DECT) is at least as effective as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in delineating both tumors and organs at risk (OARs) in patients referred for radiotherapy (RT). This primary aim will be explored in patient groups where the performance of DECT for RT has been described in the literature (but mostly based on signal-to-noise ratio and/or contrast-to-noise ratio), such as brain metastases (sub-cohort 'DART Brain') and head and neck cancer (sub-cohort 'DART H&N'). Additionally, DART will explore diagnoses not...
