Control Cohort CTRL COH
Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) and paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS) are rare disease that could be difficult to diagnose. So it necessary to obtain numerous sample from different disease to develop more specific diagnosis kit It could be possible through the characterisation of new genetic biomarkers.

CONVIVO Endomicroscopy
Visualization of the tissue microstructure during neurosurgery using a non destructive handheld imaging technology producing a real time digital image ("optical biopsy") at cellular resolution is a novel method that holds great promise for optimization and improvement of the surgical treatment of brain pathologies, brain tumors in particular. The goal of this project is to investigate and assess the ease of use of the CONVIVO FDA cleared system in discriminating healthy and abnormal tissues during in vivo use on the brain during neurosurgery in 30 patients with a working diagnosis of intrinsic brain tumors.

Correlating Early FDG PET/CT and ctDNA in Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor (ICI)-Treated Melanoma Patients
The purpose of this research study is to determine if analysis of PET/CT scans and testing of blood samples in people with melanoma that has spread in their body can help researchers determine which patients are more or less likely to respond to immunotherapy and are more or less likely to have side effects. 24 participants will be enrolled and be on study until approximately 4 weeks after their first dose of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor therapy.

Cranial Radiotherapy Plus Chemoimmunotherapy in Untreated Driver-mutation Negative NSCLC With Active Brain Metastasis
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the most prevalent form of lung cancer, has a significant risk of brain metastasis (BM). Historically, the median overall survival for advanced NSCLC patients with BM was under six months with traditional chemotherapy. However, recent advancements with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have shown promise, with some studies reporting improved intracranial objective response rates, progression-free survival, and overall survival when combined with chemotherapy. Despite these improvements, challenges remain, such as treatment resistance, recurrence, and the need for better therapeutic strategies. Local interventions like...

Cranial Radiotherapy Plus Chemoimmunotherapy in Untreated Driver-mutation Negative NSCLC With Stable Brain Metastasis
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the most prevalent form of lung cancer, has a significant risk of brain metastasis (BM). Historically, the median overall survival for advanced NSCLC patients with BM was under six months with traditional chemotherapy. However, recent advancements with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have shown promise, with some studies reporting improved intracranial objective response rates, progression-free survival, and overall survival when combined with chemotherapy.

Craniopharyngioma and Pregnancies
Craniopharyngiomas (CP) are rare hypothalamic-pituitary tumors found in young children, adolescents and adults. The management of PC remains complex, as their aggressive nature, invasive behavior and propensity to recur require sequential and balanced therapeutic attitudes, as well as follow-up in an expert center. Although patient survival rates are high, the consequences of the tumor and its treatment can lead to serious comorbidities and impaired quality of life, particularly in patients whose tumors extend to the hypothalamus. There is very little literature describing the outcome of pregnancy in craniopharyngioma patients and its impact on the craniopharyngioma. The largest...

Craniospinal Irradiation in Histone AlteRed Midline Glioma
Paediatric H3K27/H3G34 mutant diffuse midline gliomas are high grade gliomas that arise in midline structures/cerebral hemispheres and are known to have dismal outcomes. Standard treatment includes definitive radiation therapy to primary site along with concurrent temozolomide chemotherapy following histological confirmation with a biopsy. Studies have shown poorer outcomes in the paediatric age group compared to that of adults and an increased risk to fail/recur in the leptomeninges(covering of brain and spinal cord). The following study is planned in order to assess the benefit of craniospinal irradiation(delivering radiotherapy to brain, spinal cord and its covering membrane...

Creation of a Clinical Database on Primary Nervous System Tumors
the creation of a clinical database including data for all PCNST patients is of high interest. This database will allow us to develop clinical studies on: - The clinical, radiological and biological presentation of tumors, the impact of oncological treatments and the evaluation of survival for the different subtypes of Primary central nervous system tumors (PCNST). This is particularly important for rare histological subtypes of PCNST for which the current knowledge is scarce; - Clinical, radiological and biological factors predictive of tumor response to treatments; - Prognostic factors.

[CREMA]Combination of R-M Followed by R-A in Elderly Patients With Primary CNS Lymphoma
This study was conducted to evaluate the 2-year progression free survival rate of elderly patients with primary CNS lymphoma followed by combination of rituximab and methotrexate followed by rituximab and cytarabine.

Crizanlizumab Alone or in Combination With Nivolumab for Glioblastoma and Melanoma With Brain Metastases
A single-center, open-label, non-randomized phase I/II study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerance of crizanlizumab monotherapy and in combination with nivolumab in patients with advanced glioblastoma (GB) who exhausted standard of care (SOC) therapy, patients with metastatic brain melanoma (MBM) and patients with newly diagnosed unmethylated GB. Subjects will be screened for up to 28 days prior to treatment initiation. Eligible subjects will be allocated to one of 3 cohorts: Cohort 1: Patients with metastatic melanoma with primarily diagnosed or newly progressing brain metastases who failed immunotherapy. Cohort 2: Patients with recurrent or progressing GB...
