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....

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...

Does Perioperative Intravenous Magnesium Affect Postoperative Quality of Recovery in Craniotomy Surgery Patients?
Perioperative pain management for craniotomy patients may be challenging because the commonly used agents such as opioids, gabapentin, and dexmedetomidine also cause sedation, which can confound the neurological exam and can lead to respiratory depression and increased intracranial pressure. Preoperative intravenous magnesium boluses and infusions have previously been established as an effective, nonsedating analgesic that can reduce opioid consumption 25-30% up to 48 hours postoperatively. However, intravenous magnesium has not seen widespread use in craniotomy patients due to concerns for interference with the neurological monitoring that commonly occurs in these cases....

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

Early Phase Study of Kesonotide in Participants With Solid Tumours
This clinical trial is an adaptive study of a novel vimentin inhibitor in cancers. It is an open label, multicentre, single ascending dose level in phase I and cohort exploration in phase II. Primary objective is to evaluate safety and tolerability of kesonotide as a monotherapy in participants with advanced/metastatic solid cancers. Secondary objective is to characterise the pharmacokinetics of kesonotide. Phase I study will enrol 20-32 participants and Phase II approximately 80 participants.

Effect of Volatile- Based Versus Total Intravenous Anesthesia on Brain Homeostasis and Neurocognitive Outcome
The brain is a metabolic active organ with constant energy demands. Brain oxygen supply is secured via cerebral circulation. Brain tumor surgery is commonly associated with the tumor's underlying pathophysiology including brain swelling or edema. During craniotomy for brain tumor resection maintenance of cerebral hemodynamic stability is of paramount importance. Neuroinflammation is also a normal response to trauma, such as in the case of brain tumor surgery. The role of neuroinflammation in postoperative brain function is well documented and the aim is to limit it through an appropriate anesthetic approach. Anesthetic agents used during surgery affect brain homeostasis. The...
