Fecal Microbial Transplantation in Combination With Immunotherapy in Melanoma Patients (MIMic)
Immunotherapy has helped many cancer patients in the last 5 years by enhancing a patient's immune system to fight cancer. Anti-Programmed Death (PD-1) immunotherapy drugs such as pembrolizumab and nivolumab remove the breaks from cancer-fighting immune cells and have been effective in treating some melanoma patients. Despite the major breakthrough of immunotherapy in oncology treatment, many patients do not respond to this new class of anti-cancer drugs. Recently, evidence suggests that the microorganisms living in a patient's intestines play a major role in modifying the response to anti-PD-1drugs. Patients who respond to these drugs have a unique and healthy group...

FIH Clinical Investigation of Graphene Electrodes for Brain Mapping
The goal of this clinical investigation of a medical device is to test the safety of graphene based electrodes when used during surgery for resection of brain tumors. The main questions that it aims to answer are: - To understand the safety of the Graphene Cortical Interface when used during brain tumor surgery (primary objective); - To assess the quality of the brain signals recorded with the Graphene Cortical Interface, their ability to stimulate the brain, how stable their function is over the duration of an operation, and their suitability for use in the operating theatre (secondary objectives). Participants will undergo tumor surgery as usual...

Fimepinostat in Treating Brain Tumors in Children and Young Adults
This trial studies how well fimepinostat works in treating patients with newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, or medulloblastoma, or high-grade glioma that have come back. Fimepinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Fluid Responsiveness in Posterior Fossa Tumor Resection: PPV and CVP Guidance
To answer the question: What are the differences in intraoperative fluid administration volumes between PPV and CVP-guided strategies during posterior fossa tumor resection in the park bench position?

Gait Training Through a Novel Over-ground Wearable Robotic System in People with Pyramidal Hemisyndromes
Over-ground exoskeletons for gait rehabilitation are studied enough in people suffering spinal cord injury, and its clinical use is escalating in the industrialized countries. Nevertheless, studies on gait rehabilitation through exoskeletons in subjects with Pyramidal Hemisyndrome (PH) are recognized by GRADE as Low Quality of evidence. This interventional longitudinal pilot study is aimed to investigate the feasibility, clinical effects, and compliance (from the experienced therapists (Indego Specialists)' point of view) of using an over-ground wearable robotic system (Indego) for gait rehabilitation of people with PH in the clinical practice. Two substudies will be conducted...

Gallium 68 Pentixafor in Patients With Neuroendocrine Tumors
This study will evaluate how Gallium-68 Pentixafor is distributed in neuroendocrine tumor patients and if that distribution is consistent through repeated scans. This is an RDRC study - as such, the images obtained for this study cannot be used clinically or shared with treating oncologists.

GammaTile and Stupp in Newly Diagnosed GBM
In summary, standard of care postoperative chemoradiation for patients with newly diagnosed GBM does not routinely provide durable local control or prolonged overall survival. As discussed above it seems unlikely that patient outcomes will be significantly improved with radiation dose escalation given at the time of the EBRT boost. However, as most failures are local, improving LC could potentially improve the OS of patients. To do this, we propose a shift in the traditional radiation paradigm. This study will assess the feasibility and tolerability of adding GT radiation therapy as an upfront boost at the time of maximum safe resection, along with the backbone of the current...

GDC-0084 With Radiation Therapy for People With PIK3CA-Mutated Solid Tumor Brain Metastases or Leptomeningeal Metastases
This study will test the safety of the study drug, GDC-0084, in combination with radiation therapy in people who have solid tumor brain metastases or leptomeningeal metastases. All participants will have cancer with a PIK3CA mutation. The researchers will test increasing doses of GDC-0084 to find the highest dose that causes few or mild side effects in participants. The study will also try to find out if the combination of the study drug with radiation is effective against participants' cancer.

GEN1042 Safety Trial and Anti-tumor Activity in Participants With Malignant Solid Tumors
The goal of this trial is to learn about the antibody GEN1042 when it is used alone and when it is used together with another antibody cancer drug, pembrolizumab (with or without chemotherapy), for treatment of participants with certain types of cancer.

Gene-Modified T Cells With or Without Decitabine in Treating Patients With Advanced Malignancies Expressing NY-ESO-1
This phase I/IIa trial studies the side effects and best dose of gene-modified T cells when given with or without decitabine, and to see how well they work in treating patients with malignancies expressing cancer-testis antigens 1 (NY-ESO-1) gene that have spread to other places in the body (advanced). A T cell is a type of immune cell that can recognize and kill abnormal cells of the body. Placing a modified gene for NY-ESO-1 into the patients' T cells in the laboratory and then giving them back to the patient may help the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells that express NY-ESO-1. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as decitabine, work in different ways to stop the...
