CART-EGFR-IL13Ra2 in Newly Diagnosed GBM Following Initial Radiotherapy
This is an open-label phase 1 study to assess the safety, feasibility, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of autologous T cells co-expressing two CARs targeting the cryptic EGFR epitope 806 a nd I L13Ra2 ( referred t o a s " CART-EGFR-IL13Ra2 cells") in patients with newly diagnosed, EGFR-amplified, MGMT-unmethylated glioblastoma, without evidence of disease recurrence/progression following completion of initial radiotherapy.

cCeLL - Ex Vivo (Confocal Fluorescence Endomicroscopy) for Intraoperative Brain Tumor Diagnosis
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if cCeLL imaging is as accurate as standard biopsy practices for brain tumor surgeries. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Is it as accurate as standard biopsy practices? - Can it be performed faster than standard biopsy practices? Participants will consent to having their tumor tissue assessed by both cCeLL and standard biopsy procedures. There are no additional participation requirements beyond the tumor removal surgery.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Cytology-guided Intrathecal Chemo-holiday Therapy for EGFR-positive NSCLC Leptomeningeal Metastases
With the rapid development of targeted drugs, the treatment of patients with leptomeningeal metastasis has become a very difficult problem in clinical work. High-dose targeted drugs and intrathecal chemotherapy are important treatment methods for meningeal metastasis. However, it is vital to note that safety is also of concern in previous studies of intrathecal chemotherapy. In this study, we aim to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of patient using chemo-holiday therapy based on the cerebrospinal fluid cytology, combined with double-dose EGFR-targeted drug in patients with leptomeningeal metastases from EGFR-positive NSCLC.

Chronic CED of TPT for Recurrent Malignant Glioma
The primary goal of this study is to establish the safety of chronic Convection Enhanced Delivery (CED) of the chemotherapeutic drug Topotecan for patients with recurrent malignant glioma that harbors the Isocitrate Dehydrogenase mutation (IDH-mut). The secondary goal of the study is to study drug distribution and assess the tumor response to prolonged continuous CED of Topotecan. Convection Enhanced Delivery is a novel method of drug delivery that allows administration of a drug directly to the brain. In CED, a drug pump is placed under the skin in the chest or abdominal region. The pump is connected to a catheter that is tunneled underneath the skin to the brain. The tip of...

Circulating Tumour DNA Guided Adaptive BRAF and MEK Inhibitor Therapy
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate adaptive therapy in late-stage cutaneous melanoma. The main question it aims to answer are: If the patient having breaks in their treatment allows the less resistant cells to continue to grow, this would result in a tumour with a lower proportion of resistant cells, making the tumour less resistant to the treatment, an increasing the time it takes for the disease to progress? Participants will - Receive their allocated treatment regimen until their cancer progresses, they or their doctor withdraw them from the study, or until the study ends, whichever happens first. - Attend fortnightly visits to...

Cisplatin Plus Temozolomide Compared With Temozolomide in Patients With MGMT Promotor Unmethylated Glioblastoma
Temozolomide provided significant and clinically meaningful benefit in MGMT gene promoter methylation glioblastoma. However, in unmethylated patients, the effect of Temozolomide is limited. The aim of this study is to compare the effect of Cisplatin plus Temozolomide and Temozolomide in patients with MGMT gene promoter unmethylation glioblastoma

Clinical and Ultrasound Incidence of Rheumatologic Immune Related Adverse Events in Stage IIB-IV Melanoma Patients
Rheumatologic adverse events are expected to affect between 3% and 7.5% of patients undergoing immunotherapy and are likely to be underdiagnosed. The main aim of this observational prospective study is to investigate the clinical and ultrasonographic incidence of rheumathologic immune related adverse events in a cohort of patients affected by stage IIB, IIC, III and IV melanoma undergoing treatment with immune-checkpoint inhibitors. Patients will: - receive immune-checkpoint inhibitor therapy, according to disease stage and current National Guidelines. - undergo dermatologic visit prior to the start of immune-checkpoint inhibitor therapy and at scheduled...

Clinical Feasibility of Brain Radiotherapy Using Synthetic CTs in an MRI-only Workflow
The goal of this observational study is to show the feasibility of an MRI-only workflow in brain radiotherapy. The main question it aims to answer is: - Is an MRI-only workflow based on deep learning sCTs feasible in clinical routine? Participants will be treated as in clinical routine, but treatment planning will be based on sCTs, that are generated from MRI images. The dosimetrical equivalence to the standard CT based workflow will be tested at several points in the study.

Clinical Genetics Branch Eligibility Screening Survey
Background: Clinical Genetics Branch (CGB) researchers study individuals and populations at high genetic risk of cancer in order to improve our understanding of cancer and to improve cancer care. There are currently 8 open clinical genetics studies at the CGB. - 001109: Defining the Natural History of Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Fanconi anemia (SCC Screening in FA). - 20C0107: Clinical, Genetic, and Epidemiologic Study of Children and Adults with RASopathies (RASopathies Study). - 02C0052: Etiologic Investigation of Cancer Susceptibility in Inherited Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes: A Natural History Study (Cancer in Bone Marrow Failure). - ...
