Proton and Heavy Ion Beam Radiation vs. Photon Beam Radiation for Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma.
This is a multi-center prospective phase 3 clinical trial to explore the efficacy and side effects of standard-dose photon radiation versus standard-dose proton radiation versus carbon ion boost plus standard proton radiation for newly diagnosed glioblastoma. The patients enrolled will be randomly allocated with 1:1:1 to three group: Control Group, standard-dose photon radiotherapy; Study Group A, standard-dose proton radiotherapy; Study Group B, standard-dose proton radiotherapy plus induction carbon-ion radiotherapy boost. The primary endpoint is overall survival (OS).

Proton Dose Escalation for Patients With Atypical or Anaplastic Meningiomas
The trial evaluates the effect of a moderately increased radiation dose in patients with atypical (grade II) and anaplastic (grade III) meningioma after incomplete or no surgery. Endpoint is recurrence-free survival after 5 years.

PrOton Pulsed reduCed dOse Rate Radiotherapy for Recurrent CNS maligNancies Trial
The purpose of this research study is to see if a specific type of radiation therapy, called "proton pulsed reduced dose rate" or "PRDR radiotherapy" has any benefits at dose levels and number of fractions thought to be acceptable in earlier research studies. The researchers want to find out what effects (good and bad) PRDR has on people with cancer in the brain called a "recurrent high-grade glioma" meaning that it grows fast, can spread quickly, and it has come back or gotten worse after being treated previously.

Psychological and Psychiatric prOfile in Glioblastoma and Head and Neck Cancer
Approximately 30% of cancer patients may experience psychopathological disorders. The most common psychopathological disorders in cancer patients are mood disorders, anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, and suicidal ideation. Among depressive disorders, mixed depression, with the simultaneous presence of symptoms of both depressive and manic polarity, is associated to higher levels of chronicity, functional impairment and suicidality. These disorders can also be worsened by loneliness and demoralization. Patients with head and neck cancer (H&N-C) and Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) have high psychological and sometimes...

Radiation Induced Alterations in Resting State Brain Networks in Pediatric Brain Tumor Patients
With modern therapy, the survival rate for pediatric brain tumor patients has significantly improved, with over 70% of patients surviving their disease. However, this progress often comes at the cost of substantial morbidity, with cognitive deficits being the primary obstacle to independent living. Robust predictors of cognitive decline and a comprehensive understanding of the underlying mechanisms of cognitive injury remain elusive. This study will prospectively investigate alterations in brain resting state networks following radiation therapy using functional imaging. The hypothesis is that radiation therapy leads to ...

Radiogenomics in Glioblastoma: Correlation Between Multiparametric Imaging Biomarkers and Genetic Biomarkers
The purpose of this study is to evaluate relationships between multiparametric imaging biomarkers and genetic analysis in glioblastoma patients.

Randomized Study of Neo-adjuvant and Adjuvant Pembrolizumab With and Without Targeted Blood Brain Barrier Opening Using Exablate MRI-guided Focused Ultrasound (Exablate MRgFUS) for Recurrent Glioblastoma
To learn if the Exablate Model 4000 Type 2 ("Exablate System") with the DEFINITY® ultrasound contrast agent can temporarily disrupt the blood brain barrier in patients with recurrent (has grown back) glioblastoma who are scheduled to receive pembrolizumab.

Re-Administration of C134 in Patients With Recurrent GBM (C134-HSV-1)
The purpose of this study is to determine how safe and how well-tolerated the experimental study drug, C134 is when re-administered into the brain where the tumor is located.

"Receptor Radionuclide Therapy With 177Lu-DOTATOC
Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) may be recommended in G1- G2 GEP-NET patients with disease progression on somatostatine analogues therapy (LUTATHERA®). However, there are several diseases, including neuroendocrine neoplasia not originating from the digestive tract, for which the efficacy of PRRT has already been demonstrated, but which are not currently within the indications of LUTATHERA and therefore cannot benefit from it (i.e. bronchopulmonary, ovarian, renal NETs and neuroendocrine carcinomas). Moreover, the role of PRRT is also accepted in Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs), Meningiomas, but also as a...

Recombinant Human Adenovirus Type 5 Injection Combined With PD-1 Monoclonal Antibody and Nab-paclitaxel in the Treatment of Patients With Liver Metastases From Malignant Melanoma
This study is the first to explore the efficacy and safety of recombinant human adenovirus type 5 injection combined with PD-1 monoclonal antibody and nab-paclitaxel in the treatment of patients with liver metastases of melanoma, in order to provide a new method for the clinical treatment of melanoma. The model also provides reference and basis for other tumor treatments.
