Medulloblastoma Online Video-based Exercise Pilot Study
In this study, the investigators test whether it is possible to deliver an exercise intervention via video meetings to children and adolescents who have completed therapy for medulloblastoma. The exercise sessions will be individualized and offered three times weekly during 12 weeks.

MeFAMP for Imaging System a Amino Acid Transport in Primary and Metastatic Brain Tumors
This first-in-human study will establish the human safety and radiation dosimetry of the system A amino acid transport substrate, (R)-3-[F-18]fluoro-2-methyl-2-(methylamino)propanoic acid ([F-18]MeFAMP), for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of primary and metastatic brain tumors. This study will include 3 cohorts: healthy volunteers for whole body dosimetry estimates (n=6-8, Dosimetry Cohort), patients undergoing evaluation for recurrent high grade glioma after radiation therapy (n=10, high grade glioma (HGG) Cohort), and patients with brain metastases from extra-cranial solid tumors before and after radiation therapy (n=10, Metastasis Cohort). Exploratory assessment of...

Methotrexate or Thiotepa Combined With R-CHOP and Orelabrutinib in CNSL Patients
This study is designed as an open-label, prospective, single-arm, single-center trial aimed at evaluating the efficacy and safety of MTX or Thiotepa combined with Orelabrutinib and standard chemotherapy regimens in the treatment of DLBCL patients with central nervous system involvement.

Methylphenidate in Pediatric Brain Tumor Survivors With Cancer-related Fatigue
Cancer-related fatigue is a common and debilitating late effect in pediatric brain tumor survivors. Currently, evidence-based recommendations to ameliorate this condition are lacking. The researchers will investigate the ability of methylphenidate to improve fatigue and cognition in pediatric brain tumor survivors suffering from cancer-related fatigue. Methylphenidate is a drug (central nervous stimulant) most commonly used in the treatment of hyperkinetic disorders such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). If methylphenidate shows an effect, the prospects are important for this patient group, since methylphenidate may then be included as part of the treatment...

Molecular Pituitary Imaging Using 18F-FET PET
The goal of this single centre pilot study is to explore whether 18F-fluoro-ethyl-tyrosine PET (FET-PET) yields comparable findings to 11C-methionine PET (Met-PET) for the localisation of pituitary tumours.

MRI Hypoxia Study for Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) Radiation Therapy
This study is designed to evaluate the role of Oxygen Enhanced (OE) Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Blood Oxygenation Level Dependent (BOLD) MRI in detecting regions of hypoxic tumour and to evaluate their use as imaging methods to selectively deliver targeted radiotherapy to regions of aggressive disease.

Multi-center Study on CCeLL-In Vivo's Clinical Efficacy for Intraoperative Brain Tumor Diagnosis.
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of cCeLL compared to frozen section analysis. The investigational device is intended for use with indocyanine green (ICG) for fluorescence imaging as an aid in the visualization of vessels (micro- and macro-vasculature) blood flow in the cerebrovascular before, during or after cranial diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, such as tumor biopsy and resection, which is then read and analyzed by trained-professional for intraoperative diagnosis. The comparison will be held by the device with the conventional intraoperative histological frozen section analysis of identical brain tissue samples in the...

Navigating the Clinical Research Process for Glioma
Participation in medical trials usually favors a particular demographic group. But there is limited research available to explain what trial attributes affect the completion of these specific demographic groups. This trial will admit a wide range of data on the clinical trial experience of glioma patients to determine which factors prevail in limiting a patient's ability to join or finish a trial. It will also try to analyze data from the perspective of different demographic groups to check for recurring trends which might yield insights for the sake of future glioma patients.

Naxitamab and Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) Combined With Isotretinoin for Maintenance Treatment of Patients With High-Risk Neuroblastoma in First Complete Response.
This is a single-arm, multicenter clinical trial conducted in patients ≥ 12 months of age with high-risk neuroblastoma in first complete response. 62 patients will be enrolled to receive naxitamab + GM-CSF in combination with isotretinoin. In line with post-consolidation maintenance treatment of high-risk neuroblastoma, this trial will include patients with high-risk neuroblastoma in first complete response. Patients must have completed a multimodal frontline regimen (induction and consolidation) and have achieved complete response (positive bone marrow minimal residual disease as assessed by RTqPCR is allowed) following the multi agent induction and consolidation therapy.

Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy With or Without Concurrent Azeliragon in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma
Preclinical data have demonstrated the combination of azeliragon, a RAGE inhibitor, with radiation therapy (RT) can effectively reduce immune-suppressive myeloid cells and restore T-cell activation to improve tumor control in murine glioma models. Ongoing clinical studies of azeliragon with RT alone and RT plus temozolomide (TMZ) to treat patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM) have demonstrated safety and tolerability. The purpose of this window-of-opportunity study is to validate that the combination of azeliragon with RT and TMZ would modulate immune-suppressive myeloid and T cells in the tumor microenvironment in patients with GBM.
