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.

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...

Cryoablation Combined With Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for the Treatment of Painful Bone Metastases, the CROME Trial
This trial compares cryoablation combined with stereotactic body radiation therapy to stereotactic body radiation therapy alone to see how well they work in treating patients with pain from cancer that has spread to the bones (bone metastases). Bone is a common site of metastasis in advanced cancer, and bone metastases often result in debilitating cancer-related pain. The current standard of care to treat painful bone metastases is radiation therapy alone. However, many patients do not get adequate pain relief from radiation therapy alone. Another type of therapy that may be used to provide pain relief from bone metastases is cryoablation. Cryoablation is a procedure in which...

Cryoablation+Ipilimumab+Nivolumab in Melanoma
The aim of this study is to find out whether the combination of two approved drugs, ipilimumab and nivolumab, in combination with cryoablation are safe and effective for participants who have an unresectable melanoma that is resistant, or is growing, after receiving immunotherapy with a PD-1 inhibitor. The names of the study interventions involved in this study are: - Cryoablation (an interventional radiology procedure that freezes part of a tumor) - Ipilimumab (an immunotherapy) - Nivolumab (an immunotherapy)

CSF Analysis in EGFR Mutant Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer with Leptomeningeal Disease
Leptomeningeal disease is malignant seeding of the leptomeninges and presents with a variety of symptoms frequently impacting quality of life. With improvement in treatment options, rates of leptomeningeal disease are increasing and currently found in up to 9% of EGFR mutant NSCLC. Systemic therapy may be more effective if it can target the correct molecular aberration. The molecular characterization of central nervous system disease may differ from disease outside of the central nervous system. The aim of this pilot trial is to evaluate for molecular differences between cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) and blood circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) through the use of ddPCR and BC Cancer...

CtDNA for Early Response Assessment in PCNSL Treated with 1st Line Curative Intent (NLG-PCNSL-01)
This is an international, prospective, multicenter trial with the aim of characterizing circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) for early response assessment in PCNSL patients treated with standard of care (SOC) 1st line therapy with a curative intent (Figure 1). Secondary endpoints are to assess the clinical characteristics, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), neurological status, and outcome of newly diagnosed primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) patients in the Nordic countries. Patients eligible for a curative intent SOC 1st line therapy, such as MATRix + high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (HDCT/ASCT), are eligible for the trial....

CUE-102 in Recurrent Glioblastoma
The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety of the experimental drug, CUE-102, and establish the recommended dose of CUE-102 for participants with Recurrent Glioblastoma (GBM). The name of the study drug involved in this study is: -CUE-102 (a type of fusion protein)

Customized Neuro-Imaging Referenced Symptom Video for the Reduction of Patient and Caregiver Anxiety Around Radiation Treatment for Brain Tumors
This trial studies whether a customized video intervention can help to reduce anxiety in brain cancer patients undergoing radiation treatment and their caregivers. A customized neuro-imaging referenced symptom video that describes symptoms and side effects specific to the patients' tumor may result in an early and sustained reduction in anxiety and distress during and after radiation treatment, thereby improving quality of life.

CXCR4 PET/MRI Targeted Imaging for Grading Diagnosis, Molecular Typing, and Prognostic Evaluation of Brain Glioma
This project intends to evaluate the role of C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) targeted PET/MRI integrated imaging in the grading and molecular typing of brain gliomas, using primary glioma patients as the research subjects and post-operative histopathological analysis as the reference, and to establish an evaluation model for the prognosis of primary glioma patients.

Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes in Treating Patients With Malignancies With BK and/or JC Virus
This phase II trial studies how well donor cytotoxic T lymphocytes work in treating patients with malignancies with BK and/or JC virus. Cytotoxic T lymphocytes are made from donated blood cells that are grown in the laboratory and are designed to kill viruses that can cause infections in transplant patients and may be an effective treatment in patients with malignancies with BK and/or JC virus.
