Trial of Niraparib in Participants with Newly-diagnosed Glioblastoma and Recurrent Glioma
This is an open-label, multi-center Phase 0 study with an expansion phase that will enroll up to 24 participants with newly-diagnosed glioblastoma and up to 18 recurrent glioma participants with IDH mutation and ATRX loss. The trial will be composed of a Phase 0 component (subdivided into Arm A and B) and a therapeutic expansion phase. Patients with tumors demonstrating a positive PK Response (in Arm A) or a positive PD Response (in Arm B) of the Phase 0 component of the study will graduate to a therapeutic expansion phase that combines therapeutic dosing of niraparib plus standard-of-care fractionated radiotherapy (in Arm A) or niraparib monotherapy (in Arm B) until progression...

Trial of Topotecan With VX-970 (M6620), an ATR Kinase Inhibitor, in Small Cell Cancers and Extrapulmonary Small Cell Cancers
Background: Chemotherapy damages cancer cell deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) so the cells die, and the tumor shrinks. But it may stop working in some people over time. This is partly due to efficient DNA damage repair mechanisms used by tumor cells. VX-970 (M6620) may stop cancer cells from preventing the repair of DNA damaged by chemotherapy. The purpose of this study is to see if using the chemotherapy drug topotecan along with the drug VX-970 (M6620) will improve the response to chemotherapy. Objective: To study the safety and efficacy of VX-970 (M6620) and topotecan in treating small cell lung cancer. Eligibility: Adults at least 18 years old with small cell lung...

Trial With BNT111 and Cemiplimab in Combination or as Single Agents in Patients With Anti-PD-1-refractory/Relapsed, Unresectable Stage III or IV Melanoma
This is an open-label, randomized, multi-site, Phase II, interventional trial designed to evaluate the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of BNT111 + cemiplimab in anti-programmed death protein 1 (PD-1)/anti-programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1)-refractory/relapsed patients with unresectable Stage III or IV melanoma. The contributions of BNT111 and cemiplimab will be delineated in single agent calibrator arms. Patients will be randomized in a 2:1:1 ratio to Arm 1 (BNT111 + cemiplimab) and calibrator Arm 2 (BNT111 monotherapy), and Arm 3 (cemiplimab monotherapy). Patients in single agent calibrator arms (Arms 2 and 3), who experience centrally verified disease progression under...

Triple Immune Checkpoint Inhibition for Advanced or Metastatic PD-(L)1 Refractory Merkel Cell Carcinoma
This phase II trial tests how well a combination of three immunotherapy drugs work for patients with Merkel cell carcinoma that has spread to lymph nodes and/or distant parts of the body and cannot be treated with surgery (advanced or metastatic MCC) and grew despite prior PD-(L)1 therapy. The three drugs INCMGA00012 (retifanlimab, anti-PD-1), INCAGN02385 (tuparstobart, anti-LAG-3), and INCAGN02390 (verzistobart, anti-TIM-3) are monoclonal antibodies given periodically via IV to reactivate the body's immune system to attack the cancer. This combination may stop tumor growth if tumors have grown despite anti-PD-(L)1 therapy alone.

TTFields and Radiosurgery of Recurrent Glioblastoma +/- 18F-Fluoro-Ethyl-Thyrosine
All patients will receive TTFields therapy and additionally Stereotactic Radiosurgery . Radiosurgery will be based on MRI and FET-PET or MRI alone. Addition of FET-PET will be preferred option.

Tumor Hypoxia and Proliferation in Patients With High-Grade Glioma
This is a pilot study to assess a new methodology developed for High Grade Glioma (HGG). FMISO PET (Fluoromisonidazole-PET) allows researchers to study whether tumor cells lack oxygen (hypoxia). FLT PET (Fluorodeoxythymidine-PET) allows researchers to study the increase in the number of cells as a result of cell growth and cell division (proliferation). Tumors that have low oxygen levels and/or are dividing fast shall resist to standard cancer treatment. The study will compare FMISO PET and FLT PET imaging techniques with molecular biomarkers of hypoxia, angiogenesis, and cellular proliferation in tissue. proliferation).This information could help researchers develop new...

Ulixertinib in Treating Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors, Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, or Histiocytic Disorders With MAPK Pathway Mutations (A Pediatric MATCH Treatment Trial)
This phase II Pediatric MATCH trial studies how well ulixertinib works in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body (advanced), non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders that have a genetic alteration (mutation) in a signaling pathway called MAPK. A signaling pathway consists of a group of molecules in a cell that control one or more cell functions. Genes in the MAPK pathway are frequently mutated in many types of cancers. Ulixertinib may stop the growth of cancer cells that have mutations in the MAPK pathway.

Vaccine Immunotherapy for Recurrent Medulloblastoma and Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor
Immunotherapy is a specific approach to treating cancer that has shown promise in adult patients for the treatment of melanoma, malignant brain tumors, and other cancers. The study investigators will use the experience they have gained from these studies to try to improve the outcome for children affected by a recurrent brain tumor. Approximately 35 patients with first recurrence of medulloblastoma (reMB)/supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs) will be treated with tumor-specific immune cells and dendritic cell vaccines to see what impact they have on the tumor.

Validation Study of a Serum-miRNA Signature in Glioma Patients.
Prospective, multicenter, noninterventional, nonprofit study of a cohort of patients with glioma, aimed at validating miRNA-serum signatures associated with IDH1 status and prognosis, as reliable, specific and sensitive circulating diagnostic biomarkers also useful for improve prognostic stratification of patients. The study will be conducted on serum samples at diagnosis, at 4-6 days postoperatively and/or at the first post-surgery follow-up, in a new cohort of glioma patients and representative of different IDH1 mutational statuses. Furthermore, because comparison of miRNA expression profiles in serum and tissue may provide further evidence to support the use of serum miRNAs...
