Glioma Microenvironment an Exploratory Study
Diffuse glioms are primary brain tumors characterized by infiltrative growth and high heterogeneity, which render the disease mostly incurable. Advances in genetic analysis revealed that molecular and epigenetic alterations predict patients´s overall survival and clinical outcome. However, glioma tumorigenicity is not exclusively caused by its genetic alterations. The crosstalk between tumor cells and the surrounding microenvironment plays a crucial role in modulating glioma growth and aggressiveness. In this sense, to understand the tumor microenvironment would elucidate potential treatment alternatives. The focus will be to evaluate myeloid cells and cytokines levels.

HBM4003 Combine With Toripalimab in Patients With Advanced NEN and Other Solid Tumors Study
To select RP2D/MTD of HBM4003 in combination with Toripalimab in dose confirmation part(Part 1) and use the RP2D in dose expansion part (Part 2) to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK/PD and preliminary efficacy of in patients with advanced NEN and other solid tumors

HeadStart4: Newly Diagnosed Children (<10 y/o) With Medulloblastoma and Other CNS Embryonal Tumors
This is a prospective randomized clinical trial, to determine whether dose-intensive tandem Consolidation, in a randomized comparison with single cycle Consolidation, provides an event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS). The study population will be high-risk patients (non-Wnt and non-Shh sub-groups) with medulloblastoma, and for all patients with central nervous system (CNS) embryonal tumors completing "Head Start 4" Induction. This study will further determine whether the additional labor intensity (duration of hospitalizations and short-term and long-term morbidities) associated with the tandem treatment is justified by the improvement in outcome. It is expected that...

Hearing Outcomes Using Fractionated Proton Radiation Therapy for Vestibular Schwannoma
In this research study we are looking at another type of radiation called proton radiation which is known to spare surrounding normal tissues from radiation. The proton radiation will be delivered using fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) to improve localization of the small tumor target. Proton radiation delivers minimal radiation beyond the area of the tumor. This may reduce side effects that patients would normally experience with conventional radiation therapy. In this research study, we are looking to determine the effects of fractionated proton radiotherapy on long-term hearing preservation and controlling tumor growth.

Hepatic Arterial Infusion of Autologous Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes in Patients With Melanoma and Liver Metastases
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, safety and tolerability of treatment with autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) administered via hepatic arterial infusion in patients with liver metastases (including but not restricted to) of malignant melanoma.

HER2-specific CAR T Cell Locoregional Immunotherapy for HER2-positive Recurrent/Refractory Pediatric CNS Tumors
This is a Phase 1 study of central nervous system (CNS) locoregional adoptive therapy with autologous CD4 and CD8 T cells lentivirally transduced to express a HER2-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) and EGFRt, delivered by an indwelling catheter in the tumor resection cavity or ventricular system in children and young adults with recurrent or refractory HER2-positive CNS tumors. A child or young adult with a refractory or recurrent CNS tumor will have their tumor tested for HER2 expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC) at their home institution or at Seattle Children's Hospital. If the tumor is HER2 positive and the patient meets all other eligibility criteria, including...

HER3-DXd in Breast Cancer and NSCLC Brain Metastases and Solid Tumor Leptomeningeal Disease
The goal of this phase II clinical trial] is to analyze the efficacy of patritumab deruxtecan (HER3-DXd) in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) or advanced non-small cell lung cancer (aNSCLC) with active brain metastases (BM) who have received at least one line of systemic therapy in the advanced setting, or patients with active leptomeningeal carcinomatosis/disease (LMD) after radiotherapy from an advanced solid tumor who do not need immediate local treatment, and have not received prior treatment with an anti-HER3 targeted drug]. The main questions it aims to answer are: - The intracranial objective response rate (ORR-IC) per local investigator as judged by...

High-Dose Interferon Alfa in Treating Patients With Stage II or Stage III Melanoma
RATIONALE: Interferon alfa may interfere with the growth of cancer cells. It is not yet known whether treatment with interferon alfa is more effective than observation alone for stage II or stage III melanoma that has been completely removed surgically. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying high dose interferon alfa to see how well it works compared to observation only in treating patients with stage II or stage III melanoma that has been completely removed by surgery.

Hippocampal Sparing Whole Brain Radiation Versus Stereotactic Radiation in Patients With 5-20 Brain Metastases: A Phase III, Randomized Trial
This research study is studying two different types of radiation as treatment for brain metastases (tumors in the brain that spread from a cancer that originated elsewhere in the body)

Hippocampus-Avoidance Whole-Brain Radiation Therapy With Simultaneous Integrated Boost for BMs of NSCLC
WBRT (whole-brain radiation therapy) exhibits poor tumor control and decreased NCF (neurocognitive function). Herein, we investigated the safety and efficacy of HA-WBRT+SIB (hippocampus-avoidance whole-brain radiation therapy with simultaneous integrated boost) in NSCLC (non-small cell lung cancer) with multiple brain metastases.We conducted a prospective, single-arm phase II trial administering HA-WBRT (30 Gy in 12 fractions, Dmax of the hippocampal volume ≤ 17 Gy, Dmean of the hippocampal volume ≤12 Gy) +SIB (48 Gy in 12 fractions) for multiple brain metastases (≥4) of NSCLC. Cognitive performance was assessed by the HVLT-R DR (Hopkins Verbal LearningTest-Revised delayed...
