Dosimetry Based PRRT Versus Standard Dose PRRT With Lu-177-DOTATOC in NEN Patients
In this study, we want to randomize patients with neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) who are eligible for peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT), to either standard PRRT consisting of 4 treatments with 7.4 GBq Lu-177-DOTATOC (standard arm) or 4 treatments with individualized doses of Lu-177-DOTATOC (dosimetry arm). In the dosimetry arm, the first dose depends on the patients' kidney function and thereafter the absorbed dose to the kidneys at the previous treatment. A max of 20GBq will be administered at the first treatment and 25GBq at treatment 2-4. We aim to reach an accumulated kidney dose of 24Gy. After the first treatment all patients will go through three SPECT/CT scans...

Dostarlimab for Locally Advanced or Metastatic Cancer (non-colorectal/non-endometrial) with Tumor DMMR/MSI
The goal of this open-label randomized, multicenter, comparative phase II trial is to evaluate the efficacy of the immunotherapy, dostarlimab, as first-line treatment for deficient mismatch repair (dMMR)/microsatellite instability (MSI) non-resectable metastatic or locally advanced non-colorectal and non-endometrial cancers compared to the standard of care chemotherapy. Adult patients (aged ≥18 years) with histologically confirmed dMMR/MSI duodenum and small bowel adenocarcinoma, gastric and oeso-gastric junction (OGJ) adenocarcinoma with combined positive score (CPS)<5, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, ampulla of vater adenocarcinoma, adrenocortical carcinoma, carcinoma of unknown...

Doxycycline in Cutaneous Schwannoma (NF2)
In this research study the investigators want to learn more about an alternate, local treatment for skin schwannomas. Specifically, local doxycycline intra-tumoral injection will be performed as a potential treatment for NF2-related skin schwannomas, ultimately reducing the risks and costs associated with standard surgical removal of such skin tumors if successful.

Drug Response Testing and Repurposing Using Glioblastoma Organoid
The aim of this observational study, based on a prospectively collected cohort, is to evaluate the prognostic value of patient-derived organoids in predicting responses to conventional and repurposing drugs, including temozolomide, in patients with primary or recurrent glioblastoma. The primary question is whether the patient's response to temozolomide is recapitulated in their corresponding patient-derived glioblastoma organoid (GBO). Patient drug responses are evaluated using survival data, while GBO drug responses are assessed through a drug-response testing platform utilizing cell viability assays. Additionally, this platform is used to explore the potential application...

DSC-MRI in Measuring rCBV for Early Response to Bevacizumab in Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma
This phase II trial studies how well dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DSC-MRI) works in measuring relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) for early response to bevacizumab in patients with glioblastoma that has come back. DSC-MRI may help evaluate changes in the blood vessels within the cancer to determine a patient?s response to treatment.

Duration of Anti-PD-1 Therapy in Metastatic Melanoma
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects on patients with metastatic melanoma of taking a government approved and paid-for PD-1 inhibitor intermittently, with taking the same type of agent continuously. Researchers want to see if the two ways of giving this type of treatment work equally well in extending the life of patients with melanoma, or not.

Early Identification of Cardiac Involvement in Patients With Carcinoid: Clinical and Prognostic Implications
This study is for patients with neuroendocrine tumours (NET) with or without carcinoid syndrome followed by NET Unit of European Institute of Oncology. The objective of the trial is to evaluate biochemical markers of myocardial injury (high-sensitive troponins), haemodyinamic markers (pro-brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), N-terminal (NT)-BNP (NT-proBNP)), and markers of fibrosis (Suppression of Tumorigenicity 2 (ST2) in patients with neuroendocrine tumours (NET) with or without carcinoid syndrome.

Early or Delayed Intervention of Brain Radiotherapy Combined With Almonertinib in EGFR Mutated NSCLC With Brain Metastases
This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical study of NSCLC patients with intracranial oligo-metastatic EGFR-sensitive mutations treated with EGFR-TKI Almonertinib , according to the implementation time of brain radiotherapy. Patients were randomly divided into two groups, experimental group (early intervention group of brain radiotherapy) : the brain radiotherapy started within 1 month of TKI treatment, the brain radiotherapy here specifically refers to stereotactic radiotherapy; Control group (brain radiotherapy late intervention group) : Brain radiotherapy was given within 3 months after brain progression during TKI treatment. The differences in...

Early Rehabilitation Using Head Impulse Test for Acute Vestibular Deficit
The vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) induces a compensatory movement in the eye when the head is rotated, to maintain stable vision when we move. It originates in the peripheral vestibular system, which detects head movements. It is particularly effective for rapid head movements, as tested in the Head Impulse Test (HIT). In acute unilateral vestibular deficit (AUVD), the VOR deficit is compensated for by a substitution saccade, more commonly known as catch up saccade, that contribute to refocus the gaze and maintain vision during head rotations. Recent technological advances have made it possible to make high-quality recordings during HIT (video Head Impulse Test, vHIT), leading...

EF-41/KEYNOTE D58: Phase 3 Study of Optune Concomitant With Temozolomide Plus Pembrolizumab in Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma
This is a multicenter, two-arm, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of Optune® (Tumor Treating Fields at 200 kHz) together with maintenance Temozolomide (TMZ) chemotherapy agent and pembrolizumab compared to Optune® together with maintenance TMZ and placebo in newly diagnosed Glioblastoma (GBM) patients. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the Overall Survival (OS).
