68Ga-NOTA-RM26 PET/CT in Glioma Patients
The aim of this study was to investigate the value of 68Ga-NOTA-RM26, an antagonist targeting gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR) PET tracer, in the diagnosis of high WHO grade glioma and prediction the grade of glioma using positron-emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT).

68Ga-RM26-RGD PET/CT Imaging in the GRPR and αvβ3 Positive Tumor Patients
Based on the high expression of specific receptors on the surface of diseased tissues and neovascularization, noninvasive targeted molecular imaging can be used to visualize lesions in vitro by combining specific ligands labeled with short half-life isotopes. In this study, a novel dual-target imaging agent 68Ga-RM26-RGD was used for clinical study of tumor PET/CT imaging to further verify its clinical application value.

7T MRI Scan for the Early Detection of Melanoma Brain Metastases
This clinical trial studies the use of 7-Tesla (7T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in detecting melanoma that has spread to the brain (melanoma brain metastases). The standard MRI brain imaging is done on 3T or similar MRI machine, but the 7T MRI machine has a larger magnet which has been shown to have superior resolution of the brain and of non-cancerous brain lesions. Diagnostic procedures such as 7T MRI may help find and diagnose melanoma brain metastases earlier than standard 3T MRI.

89Zr-Bevacizumab PET/CT Imaging in NF2 Patients
Bevacizumab can be an effective treatment for individuals with NF2 and improve different nerve functions (like hearing, tinnitus or balance problems) and the quality of life of NF2 patients. However, bevacizumab is not effective in all patients or all tumors, at the cost of moderate toxicity and considerable financial burden. Therefore, this observational study will validate an imaging biomarker method to predict bevacizumab efficacy in order to avoid adverse effects and high costs in non-responders to bevacizumab treatment. Patients will undergo standard-of-care treatment with the sole addition of a pre-treatment 89Zr-Bevacizumab PET/CT-scan. Per standard-of-care bevacizumab...

90Yttrium Colloid for the Treatment of Cystic Sellar/Parasellar Tumors
There is no consensus in the literature on the best way to treat cystic lesions of the pituitary area. Patients who are symptomatic from these tumours are rare. The cystic form of tumours present special challenges since traditional treatment modalities (surgery and/or external radiation) are often not able to completely remove or treat the cyst wall without major morbidity or even mortality. There is no 'best practice' for the treatment of cystic tumours per se. Treatments available to patients with cystic sellar/parasellar tumours include conservative management using a 'wait and scan' approach, cyst drainage, and cyst removal via transsphenoidal and/or craniotomy approach...

[90Y]Y-PTT Endoradiotherapy in CNS Lymphoma Patients
This will be an open-label, single-arm, national phase 1/2 therapeutic study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of [90Y]Y-PentixaTher ([90Y]Y-PTT) for the treatment of recurrent or refractory primary or isolated secondary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma. The study will be performed in three cohorts with different dose levels according to the best-of-5 dose escalation design. A safety review committee (SRC) will evaluate dose-limiting toxicities and decide about escalation and de-escalation. Eligible patients will receive one cycle of [90Y]Y-PTT, which will be administered intravenously. There will be no comparator in this study. Safety,...

99mTc-CNDG SPECT/CT in Brain Tumors
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the value of 99mTc-CNDG for diagnosis of brain tumors by comparing it with 18F-FDG-PET. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the diagnostic consistency between 99mTc-CNDG and 18F-FDG? 2. What is the correlation between the SUVmax value of 99mTc-CNDG and tumor type? Participants will: Receive18F-FDG-PET and 99mTc-CNDG examination within 2 weeks before surgery. Obtain pathological diagnosis by surgery or biopsy as the gold standard.

Abdominal Neuroblastoma Laparoscopic Surgery Risk Factors Stratification
Surgery plays significant role in treatment of neurogenic tumors, both for benign ganglioneuroma and for high risk neuroblastoma. The world literature has accumulated large experience in laparoscopic surgery for abdominal neuroblastoma. The presence of IDRF (image-defined risk factors) and tumor size (>4-7 cm) are considered as common contraindications for minimally invasive surgery in neuroblastoma. However, the recent studies have shown that presence of IDRF is not an absolute contraindication for laparoscopic surgery. This open-label, nonrandomized, observational, phase III evaluates role and weight of different surgical risk factors (including IDRF, tumor size,...

Abemaciclib in Newly Diagnosed Meningioma Patients
This study is being done to learn about how an investigational drug called abemaciclib works in treating patients with a newly-diagnosed grade 3 meningioma. Abemaciclib is a drug that is approved by the FDA, but not for brain tumors. Participants who consent to the trial will have surgical tissue collected from the planned surgical resection and tested. If the tissue shows positive results for RB cells and participants are qualified, they will be enrolled and receive study treatment two to five weeks after completing standard-of-care radiation therapy. This is a randomized clinical trial which means that participants will be randomly assigned to a treatment based on chance,...
