Impact of the Platelet Level in Patients Treated for Glioblastoma With Temozolomid
The purpose of GLIOPLAK is to evaluate the predictive value of a biological test performed in the radio-chemotherapy phase in patients suffering from glioblastoma. The studied parameter is the variation in platelet count during the radio-chemotherapy phase. The main objective is to identify early in Stupp protocol a group of patients having high risk to undergo thrombocytopenia in maintenance phase of temozolomide. With this result an algorithm of platelet monitoring for patients treated with Stupp protocol wil be proposed.

Improved Therapy Response Assessment in Metastatic Brain Tumors
TREATMENT is an observational study addressing the need for knowledge and adequate diagnostic biomarkers in the response assessment of patients with brain metastasis. Reliable response assessment will be highly relevant in the coming years given the introduction of next-generation cancer drugs, including immunotherapy. This project uses advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Vessel Architecture Imaging (VAI) to better understand the response to traditional stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and immunotherapy. Secondary objectives include: In patients with brain metastases, use advanced MRI and Vessel Architectural Imaging methods to reveal parameters of traditional,...

Improving Early Detection of Melanoma Recurrence With Circulating Tumor DNA (ctDNA)
This is a non-randomized experimental biomarker study evaluating ctDNA levels in patients with stage IIB/C and stage IIIB/C/D melanoma skin cancer pre and post-surgery Study participants will complete a ctDNA test within 4 weeks of their planned surgical resection of their melanoma. Within 4 weeks post-surgery another ctDNA test will be completed. During these time points stool samples and diet questionnaires will be collected for biospecimen banking.

Improving Patient and Caregiver Understanding of Risks and Benefits of Immunotherapy for Advanced Cancer
The purpose of this study is to refine and pilot test educational material developed to educate and support patients receiving immunotherapy for advanced cancer. The intervention is an educational video and question prompt list (QPL) to promote communication between patients, caregivers, and the oncology team about the risks and benefits of immunotherapy.

Improving Understanding of Brain Tumors Through Preservation of Biologically Active Brain Tissue
Recent experiments are giving researchers insight into the changes (mutations) that occur in an individual brain tumor cell compared to a normal cell. Currently, we do not have enough knowledge about how uniform these changes are throughout a single brain tumor and if different regions of a brain tumor have different groupings of changes. By obtaining multiple samples of the tumor from various regions during surgery, it will allow researchers to better understand these changes, with the hope that they will lead to new discoveries in the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors.

Induction Therapy Including 131 I-MIBG and Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed High-Risk Neuroblastoma Undergoing Stem Cell Transplant, Radiation Therapy, and Maintenance Therapy With Isotretinoin
This pilot clinical trial studies induction therapy followed by iobenguane I 131 and chemotherapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed high-risk neuroblastoma undergoing stem cell transplant, radiation therapy, and maintenance therapy with isotretinoin. Radioisotope therapy, such as iobenguane I 131, releases radiation that kills tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin, etoposide phosphate, busulfan, and melphalan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. A peripheral stem cell transplant may be able to replace blood-forming cells that are destroyed by iobenguane I 131...

Innovative Trial for Understanding the Impact of Targeted Therapies in NF2-Related Schwannomatosis (INTUITT-NF2)
This is a multi-arm phase II platform-basket screening study designed to test multiple experimental therapies simultaneously in patients with NF2-related schwannomatosis (NF2-SWN, formerly known as neurofibromatosis type 2) with associated progressive tumors of vestibular schwannomas (VS), non-vestibular schwannomas (non-VS), meningiomas, and ependymomas. This Master Study is being conducted as a "basket" study that may allow people with multiple tumor types associated with NF2-SWN to receive new drugs throughout this study. Embedded within the Master Study are individual drug substudies. - Investigational Drug Sub-study A: Brigatinib - Investigational Drug Sub-study...

INO-5401 and INO-9012 Delivered by Electroporation (EP) in Combination With Cemiplimab (REGN2810) in Newly-Diagnosed Glioblastoma (GBM)
Phase 1/2 trial to evaluate safety, immunogenicity and preliminary efficacy of INO-5401 and INO-9012 in combination with cemiplimab (REGN2810), with radiation and chemotherapy, in subjects with newly-diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM).

Integrated Molecular Profiling in Advanced Cancers Trial
Substantial progress has been made in the treatment of cancer through the use of targeted therapies, but what works for one patient might not work for another patient. Certain drugs are now being developed that target specific molecules in the body that are believed to be part of the disease. Biomarkers are specific characteristics of the cancer that may help provide prognostic information (i.e. how well patients will be regardless of the treatments given) or help predict sensitivity or resistance to a specific treatment. The study will collect archival tumor samples (previously collected biopsy or surgical tumor samples) to provide biomarker data about a patient's cancer, in...
