Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption Using Transcranial MRI-Guided Focused Ultrasound
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of BBB disruption using transcranial MRI-guided focused ultrasound in conjunction with an intravenous ultrasound contrast agent to increase the accumulation of doxorubicin in brain tumours and the adjacent brain using the ExAblate Transcranial system (220 kHz). Data will be collected to establish the basic safety of this type of treatment as the basis for later studies to evaluate its clinical efficacy.

Blood Flow MRI for Monitoring Brain Tumors
The investigators are studying the use of an advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique for measuring blood flow into brain tumors. This technique does not use radioactive tracers, and it can provide high quality images that can be obtained in a standard MRI scanner.

Blood T-Cells and EBV Specific CTLs Expressing GD-2 Specific Chimeric T Cell Receptors to Neuroblastoma Patients
Patients have high-risk neuroblastoma, a form of cancer typically found in children. The patients previously participated in a gene transfer research study using special immune cells. This research study combines two different ways of fighting disease, antibodies and T cells. Antibodies are types of proteins that protect the body from bacterial and other infections. T cells, also called cytotoxic T lymphocytes or CTLs, are special infection-fighting blood cells that can kill some tumor cells. Both antibodies and T cells have been used to treat patients with cancers and while they have shown promise, they have not been strong enough to cure most patients. The antibody used in this...

BO-112 With Pembrolizumab in Unresectable Malignant Melanoma
This is a phase 2, single arm, open label, adaptive design study to determine the preliminary anti-tumor activity and confirm the safety of IT BO-112 in combination with intravenous (IV) pembrolizumab. The study will enroll patients with advanced and/or metastatic melanoma that have progressed on anti-PD-1-containing treatment.

BOXR1030 T Cells in Subjects With Advanced GPC3-Positive Solid Tumors
This is a first-in-human (FIH), Phase 1/2, open-label, multicenter study to assess safety and determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of BOXR1030 administration after lymphodepleting chemotherapy (LD chemotherapy) in subjects with glypican-3 positive (GPC3+) advanced solid tumors.

BRAINFUL (BRAIN Tumor Focused Ultrasound-enabled Liquid Biopsy) Trial
Background: Accessing brain tumor material for pathological diagnosis requires invasive procedures that carry risk to patients including brain hemorrhages and death. Liquid biopsies are emerging non-invasive alternatives to direct tumour biopsies but the abundance of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is relatively low and this limits our ability to accurately make the molecular diagnosis of brain tumors. We have recently shown promising results that suggest that the analysis of blood samples can distinguish brain tumor types. We now want to couple liquid biopsies with high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to enhance the release of tumor DNA into the circulation and increase the...

Brain Metastases in Norway - A Prospective Cohort Study
The overall aim and primary outcome of this study will be a descriptive analysis of the current treatment practice of BM in Norway. Specifically, it may give answers to the following research questions: - What is the true incidence of BM in Norway? - How are patients with BM treated at present? - Do treatments differ between hospitals? - How do treatments impact quality of life of the patients? - Which factors (treatment, tumor and host variables) can explain disease control, survival, symptom relief, and general functions? - How can BM staging be improved?

Brain Tumor-Specific Immune Cells (IL13Ralpha2-CAR T Cells) for the Treatment of Leptomeningeal Glioblastoma, Ependymoma, or Medulloblastoma
This phase I trial investigates the side effects of brain tumor-specific immune cells (IL13Ralpha2-CAR T cells) in treating patients with leptomeningeal disease from glioblastoma, ependymoma, or medulloblastoma. Immune cells are part of the immune system and help the body fight infections and other diseases. Immune cells can be engineered to destroy brain tumor cells in the laboratory. IL13Ralpha2-CAR T cells is brain tumor specific and can enter and express its genes in immune cells. Giving IL13Ralpha2-CAR T cells may better recognize and destroy brain tumor cells in patients with leptomeningeal disease from glioblastoma, ependymoma or medulloblastoma.

Brentuximab Vedotin With Pembrolizumab in Metastatic Solid Tumors
This trial will find out whether brentuximab vedotin and pembrolizumab work together to treat different types of cancer. There will be several different types of cancer studied in the trial. The cancer must have spread to other parts of the body (metastatic). The study will also find out what side effects occur. A side effect is anything the treatment does besides treat cancer. This is a multi-cohort study.

C7R-GD2.CART Cells for Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Neuroblastoma and Other GD2 Positive Cancers (GAIL-N)
This study is for patients with neuroblastoma, sarcoma, uveal melanoma, breast cancer, or another cancer that expresses a substance on the cancer cells called GD2. The cancer has either come back after treatment or did not respond to treatment. Because there is no standard treatment at this time, patients are asked to volunteer in a gene transfer research study using special immune cells called T cells. T cells are a type of white blood cell that helps the body fight infection. 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....
