Binimetinib Plus Belinostat for Subjects With Metastatic Uveal Melanoma
This research study is investigating Binimetinib and Belinostat in participants with metastatic uveal melanoma. The research study will test the study drugs to see if the combination of binimetinib and belinostat can make tumors shrink or stop growing.

Binimetinib Plus Encorafenib Real Life Investigation of Next Generation Melanoma Treatment
BERING-MELANOMA - designed as a prospective, longitudinal, non-interventional study - investigates real-world effectiveness, quality of life, safety and tolerability of encorafenib plus binimetinib in unresectable advanced or metastatic BRAF(Rapidly Accelerated Fibrosarcoma isoform B)-V600-mutant malignant melanoma after commercial availability of these two products in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The study focusses on the documentation of the first and second line setting (i.e. after one line of prior checkpoint inhibition) by documenting patients treated according to the SmPC (Summary of Product Characteristics).

Biobank and Register of Patients With Agresive Tumors for Translational and Analytical Research
The investigators will collect biosamples of patient blood and tumour tissue for further immunological analysis of blood cell subpopulations, immunosupressive factors concentration, HLA expression an lymphocytes and tumour tissue, and and cancer testis antigenes expression on tumour cells, as well as clinical data on patient's stage, therapy, response and demographics. Possible prognostic and predictive dynamic biomarkers will be discovered for individualisation of treatment strategies

Biobanking and New Biomolecular Metrics
The goal of this Interventional study aims to apply, in our Institutes, a 4p oncological model i.e. predictive, personalized, of precision and participated (Regina Elena and San Gallicano).

Biofeedback for Hemianopia Vision Rehabilitation
Patients with brain injury secondary to stroke, surgery, or trauma frequently suffer from homonymous hemianopia, defined as vision loss in one hemifield secondary to retro- chiasmal lesion. Classic and effective saccadic compensatory training therapies are current aim to reorganize the control of visual information processing and eye movements or, in other words, to induce or improve oculomotor adaptation to visual field loss. Patients learn to intentionally shift their eyes and, thus, their visual field border, into the area corresponding to their blind visual field. This shift brings the visual information from the blind hemifield into the seeing hemifield for further...

Biofeedback Training for Hemianopia
This is a prospective study that compares biofeedback training on the microperimetry (BT) to a control group in patient s with hemianopia. The patients receive 5 sessions of 20 minutes to stimulate with light and sound the brain in using the best residual area on the visual fields post-brain injury visual loss. Visual tests and quality of life questionnaire are performed pre-and-post-training.

Biological Medicine for Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) Eradication 2.0
The BIOMEDE 2.0 study is the second stage of the BIOMEDE multi-arm, multistage rolling programme (adaptive platform protocol). It is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, controlled phase-3 trial evaluating efficacy of ONC201 in comparison with everolimus (primary objective based on internal comparison) and subsequently to historical controls. Two treatment groups will be compared. Study treatment will be continued until centrally confirmed disease progression (either radiologically or histologically), unacceptable toxicity or consent withdrawal. A switch between treatment groups is allowed after confirmation of the disease progression (real-time central review blinded to...

Biologic Association Between Metabolic Magnetic Resonance-positron Emission Tomograph (MR-PET) and Tissue Measures of Glycolysis in Brain Tumors of Infiltrating Glioblastoma Cells
The purpose of this project is to validate a new combined MRI and PET imaging technique as a biomarker or measure of glycolysis in brain tumors. To accomplish this, the investigators propose obtaining image-guided measures of tissue pH and biopsied tissue in tumor areas selected for bulk resection surgery. Investigators will then correlate the imaging measurements with pH, RNA expression, protein expression, and bioenergetics measurements of key glycolytic enzymes.

Biomarkers for the Activity of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy in Patients With Advanced Melanoma
1. Screen and recruitment: patients will be screened based on their prior history and intention to initiate treatment with an immune checkpoint inhibitor. 2. Study phase: - Collection of baseline demographic data, prior disease history, nature of ICI therapy, outcome data of ICI therapy (treatment disposition, toxicity, tumor response and survival). - Collection of blood samples will be performed every 3 to 4 weeks for the first year on ICI therapy and every 6 to 12 weeks thereafter until the end of ICI therapy, disease progression, death or loss to follow-up. Collection of blood samples will be...
