Radiation Therapy With or Without Temozolomide in Treating Patients With Low-Grade Glioma
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether radiation therapy is more effective when given together with or without temozolomide in treating patients with low-grade glioma. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying radiation therapy so see how well it works when given together with or...

Radiomics-Based Visualization and Quantitative Validation of IDH1 Heterogeneity in Gliomas
The goal of this clinical trail is to non-invasively visualise and quantitatively validate an radiomics model of genetic heterogeneity in adult patients with diffuse glioma to help clinicians better guide surgical resection and treatment options. It aims to answer are: 1. To overcome the limitations of the existing genetic diagnostic process in terms of equipment and technology requirements, high costs and long timelines, and to enable quantitative studies of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutations, thus allowing refined patient stratification and further exploration of the role of molecular markers in improving patient prognosis. 2. To achieve...

Radiosurgery Before Surgery for the Treatment of Brain Metastases
This early phase I trial identifies the side effects of stereotactic radiosurgery before surgery in treating patients with cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastases). Radiation may stimulate an anti-tumor immune response. Giving stereotactic radiosurgery before surgery may reduce the risk of the cancer coming back after surgery.

Radiotherapy of Multiple Brain Metastases Using AGuIX®
This is a Prospective Randomized Open Blinded Endpoint phase II clinical trial. The study will be adaptive: an interim analysis is planned after enrolment of 20 patients in each arm of treatment (WBRT and AGuIX® + WBRT), to select and continue the study with group(s) that present the best response rate to the experimental treatment (AGuIX® + WBRT). The main endpoint will be evaluated by a blinded endpoint committee.

Randomized Study of Nivolumab+Ipilimumab+/- SBRT for Metastatic Merkel Cell Carcinoma
The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of the drugs nivolumab plus ipilimumab with or without the addition of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Nivolumab is an antibody (a type of human protein) that is being tested to see if it will stimulate the body's immune system to work against tumor cells. This study will test an investigational use of nivolumab.

Randomized Trial of Topotecan With M6620, an ATR Kinase Inhibitor, in Small Cell Lung Cancers and Small Cell Cancers Outside of the Lungs
This phase II trial studies how well berzosertib (M6620) works when given in combination with topotecan hydrochloride (topotecan) compared with topotecan alone in treating patients with small cell lung cancer that has come back (relapsed), or small cell cancer that arises from a site other than the lung (extrapulmonary). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as topotecan hydrochloride, work by damaging the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) in tumor cells, causing those cells to die and the tumor to shrink. However, some tumor cells can become less affected by chemotherapy because they have ways to repair the damaged DNA. The addition of M6620 could help topotecan hydrochloride shrink the...

Reduced Craniospinal Radiation Therapy and Chemotherapy in Treating Younger Patients With Newly Diagnosed WNT-Driven Medulloblastoma
This phase II trial studies how well reduced doses of radiation therapy to the brain and spine (craniospinal) and chemotherapy work in treating patients with newly diagnosed type of brain tumor called WNT)/Wingless (WNT)-driven medulloblastoma. Recent studies using chemotherapy and radiation therapy have been shown to be effective in treating patients with WNT-driven medulloblastoma. However, there is a concern about the late side effects of treatment, such as learning difficulties, lower amounts of hormones, or other problems in performing daily activities. Radiotherapy uses high-energy radiation from x-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such...

Regorafenib in Bevacizumab Refractory Recurrent Glioblastoma
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of Regorafenib in patients with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma (GBM) who have progressed on bevacizumab. Regorafenib is FDA approved administered as monotherapy during the study. 22 total patients are expected to participate in this study. Even though a participant may meet all the criteria for participation, it is possible that they will not be enrolled in this study.

Regorafenib With Temozolomide With or Without RT in MGMT-Methylated, IDH Wild-type GBM Patients
This study will evaluate the addition of regorafenib to standard of care treatment with TMZ as adjuvant therapy, and in combination with TMZ+RT as concomitant therapy. The standard of care for newly diagnosed GBM (ndGBM) includes surgical resection to the extent that is safely feasible, followed by RT plus concomitant TMZ chemotherapy, and up to 6 months of adjuvant TMZ. The dose escalation will be explored following a "3+3" design, escalating oral doses of regorafenib in combination with adjuvant (maintenance) TMZ (cohort A) to estimate the MTD of regorafenib as adjuvant (maintenance) therapy. After finding the MTD in the Adjuvant Therapy dose escalation, the Concomitant...

Response and Biology-Based Risk Factor-Guided Therapy in Treating Younger Patients With Non-high Risk Neuroblastoma
This phase III trial studies how well response and biology-based risk factor-guided therapy works in treating younger patients with non-high risk neuroblastoma. Sometimes a tumor may not need treatment until it progresses. In this case, observation may be sufficient. Measuring biomarkers in tumor cells may help plan when effective treatment is necessary and what the best treatment is. Response and biology-based risk factor-guided therapy may be effective in treating patients with non-high risk neuroblastoma and may help to avoid some of the risks and side effects related to standard treatment.
