GPC-3 CAR T CELLS FOR Recurrent GPC-3 Positive Glioblastoma
The body has different ways of fighting infection and disease. No single way seems perfect for fighting cancers. This research study combines two different ways of fighting cancer: antibodies and T cells. Antibodies are types of proteins that protect the body from infectious diseases and possibly cancer. T-cells, also called T lymphocytes, are special infection-fighting blood cells that can kill other cells, including cells infected with viruses and tumor cells. Both antibodies and T cells have been used to treat participants with cancers. They have shown promise, but have not been strong enough to cure most participants. The study team has found from previous research that we...

GSL Synthetase Inhibitor Plus GM-CSF and/ or Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor in Previously Treated High-Risk Neuroblastoma.
This exploratory clinical study will evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of combining a GSL synthase inhibitor with a granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in patients with advanced or metastatic neuroblastoma. Six to eight eligible patients are expected to be treated in this clinical trial: 1) Assessing the anti-tumour effects of GSL synthase inhibitors in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors and/or GM-CSF; 2) To assess immunological or clinical predictive biomarkers of efficacy and toxicity; and 3) Detecting changes in the tumour microenvironment (TME) and the dynamics of peripheral blood immune cells after treatment with a GSL synthase inhibitor...

High-Dose Firmonertinib Combined With Bevacizumab and Intrathecal Pemetrexed in the Treatment of EGFR-Mutated Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer With Leptomeningeal Metastasis
Primary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of high-dose firmonertinib combined with bevacizumab and intrathecal pemetrexed in EGFR Ex19del/L858R-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with leptomeningeal metastasis (LM), as measured by Overall Survival (OS). Secondary Objectives: 1. To assess the efficacy of this regimen in EGFR Ex20ins/PACC/L861Q-mutated NSCLC with LM. 2. To further evaluate therapeutic outcomes across cohorts, including: - Time to Treatment Failure (TTF) - Leptomeningeal Objective Response Rate (ORR-LM) - Clinical Response Rate 3. To analyze the impact of this regimen on *quality of life* using...

High-dose Furmonertinib Versus Osimertinib in Advanced EGFRm NSCLC Patients With Brain Metastases
The investigators were to explore whether high-dose Furmonertinib, compared with osimertinib, could achieve longer survival in patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC with CNS metastasis.

High-dose Methotrexate Combined with Thiotepa and Zanubrutinib in the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed PCNSL (MTZ)
This is a phase Ⅱ clinical study of Zanubrutinib(Z) in combination with methotrexate (M) and thiotepa(T) in treating newly diagnosed primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL). The purpose of the study is to test the efficacy and tolerability of a combination treatment of MTZ regimen in treating patients who have newly diagnosed PCNSL

HOBSCOTCH-CA (HOme-Based Self-management and COgnitive Training CHanges Lives in Brain CAncer)
The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of the home-based intervention, HOBSCOTCH-CA, to improve the quality of life and cognitive function in Service Members, Veterans and civilians who are survivors of brain cancer or a brain tumor (CA participants). This study will also assess the ability of the HOBSCOTCH-CA program to improve quality of life in caregivers of patients with brain cancer/tumor and to reduce caregiver burden. Enrolling with a Caregiver is optional for CA participants. Investigators will compare two groups of CA participants and their Caregiver (enrolling with a Caregiver is optional): one who receives HOBSCOCTCH-CA immediately (Group 1) and another...

Home Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) to Enhance Functional Recovery
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of home-based Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) combined with a home activity based therapy program in patients with stroke, brain tumors or neurodegenerative conditions and to assess the efficacy of home-based tDCS combined with a home activity-based therapy program as an intervention to treat cognitive-linguistic impairments related to stroke, brain tumors, or neurodegenerative conditions and improve quality of life.

Identification and Characterization of Circulating Tumor Cells Before and After Treatment (Surgery and Radiotherapy) in a Cohort of Patients Treated for Resectable Stage I-III Merkel Cell Carcinoma
The goal of this prospective observational study is to evaluate the presence of circulating tumoral cells in patients over 18 with a stage I-III resectable Merkel cell carcinoma after the initial therapeutic sequence of surgery and radiotherapy. The main question it aims to answer is : Can any residual disease be found in the form of circulating tumoral cells in blood samples of patients treated with surgery and radiotherapy for a resectable, stage I to III Merkel cell carcinoma ? When possible, the circulating tumoral cells count will be compared to the one realized in a blood sample of the same patient before surgery and radiotherapy. Participants will : - Have a...
