Nivolumab With Radiation Therapy and Bevacizumab for Recurrent MGMT Methylated Glioblastoma
This study is being done to see if adding nivolumab to radiation therapy and bevacizumab can increase the effectiveness of the treatment for recurrent glioblastoma.

Nivolumab With Trametinib and Dabrafenib, or Encorafenib and Binimetinib in Treating Patients With BRAF Mutated Metastatic or Unresectable Stage III-IV Melanoma
This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well nivolumab with trametinib and dabrafenib, or encorafenib and binimetinib work in treating patients with BRAF-mutated stage III-IV melanoma that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may induce changes in the body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Trametinib, dabrafenib, encorafenib, and binimetinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known if nivolumab with trametinib and dabrafenib,...

Nonfunctioning Small (≤2 cm) Neuroendocrine Pancreatic Incidentaloma
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and carcinomas account for 10-15 % of all pancreatic incidentalomas. The management of pancreatic NETs depends on tumor stage and on presence or not of hormonal syndrome. The therapeutic approach for hormonally functional tumor, or large tumor (> 2 cm) with local, vascular or lymph nodes invasion, highly suggestive of malignancy, or in presence of metastasis, is well admitted: surgery is indicated or should be discussed. However, the attitude is less consensual for small (≤ 2 cm) non-functioning (NF) and non-metastatic lesions. In English, American or French recommendations, systematic surgical resection with lymphadenectomy is currently recommended in...

Novel Gamma-Delta (γδ)T Cell Therapy for Treatment of Patients with Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma
This study is being conducted to find out if the safety and tolerability of an experimental cell therapy is safe to administer to patients with a newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) in combination with temozolomide (TMZ).

Novel Targeted Radiotherapy in Pediatric Patients With Inoperable Relapsed or Refractory HGG
The purpose of this dose finding study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 2 different dose levels of CLR 131 in children, adolescents and young adults with relapsed or refractory high-grade glioma (HGG).

NP-101 (TQ Formula) With Nivolumab and Ipilimumab in Advanced or Metastatic Extra-pulmonary Neuroendocrine Carcinomas
A pilot study to evaluate the anti-tumor efficacy of this novel combined regimen (NP-101 TQ Formula plus nivolumab and ipilimumab) in the second-line setting for EP-NECA. NP-101 (TQ Formula) (TQ, C10H12O2) is the main bioactive component of the black seed (Nigella sativa, Ranunculaceae family) and has anti-oxidant, anti-angiogenic effects.

nTMS in Planning Stereotactic Radiosurgery in Patients With Brain Metastases in the Motor Cortex
This trial studies how well nTMS works in planning for stereotactic radiosurgery in patients with brain metastases in the motor cortex. Stereotactic radiosurgery is a type of radiation therapy that delivers high doses of radiation, which can sometimes lead to damage occurring to the brain and surrounding areas. The motor cortex (the part of the nervous system that controls muscle movement), however, currently has no radiation dose limit. nTMS is a non-invasive tool that uses sensors on a patient's muscle to trace the location in their brain that controls that muscle and is currently used by doctors to decide where to operate so as not to damage the motor nerves. nTMS may...

Observational Trial of the Impact of Radiation Dose in Children With Brain and Skull Base Tumors.
This is a prospective, observational clinical trial investigating the morphological and volumetric changes in the brain following cranial Radiation Therapy in pediatric patients with brain or skull base tumors.

Observing Young Patients With Ependymoma Undergoing Standard Combination Chemotherapy
RATIONALE: Gathering information about how young patients with ependymoma respond to standard combination chemotherapy and learning about the long-term effects of this treatment may help doctors plan better treatment. PURPOSE: This phase III trial is observing young patients with ependymoma undergoing standard combination chemotherapy.

Octreotide Acetate and Recombinant Interferon Alfa-2b or Bevacizumab in Treating Patients With Metastatic or Locally Advanced, High-Risk Neuroendocrine Tumor
This randomized phase III trial studies octreotide acetate and recombinant interferon alfa-2b to see how well it works compared to octreotide acetate and bevacizumab in treating patients with high-risk neuroendocrine tumors that have spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced). Octreotide acetate and recombinant interferon alfa-2b may interfere with the growth of tumor cells and slow the growth of cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known whether giving octreotide acetate together with recombinant...
