Efficacy of Daromun Neoadjuvant Intratumoral Treatment in Clinical Stage IIIB/C Melanoma Patients
The trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of Daromun neoadjuvant treatment followed by surgery and adjuvant therapy to improve in a statistically significant manner the recurrence-free survival (RFS) of Stage IIIB/C melanoma patients with respect to the standard of care (surgery and adjuvant therapy).

Efficacy of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Terms of DFS in Patients With Localized Digestive Neuroendocrine Carcinomas
NEONEC is a single-phase, phase II study evaluating the efficacy of the 12-month neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with locally differentiated digestive NEC. The recommended chemotherapy is based on the current reference combination of platinum (cisplatin or carboplatin) and etoposide (VP16). For anorectal locations, radiochemotherapy is proposed to avoid the morbidity of conventional surgery. The objective of the study is to improve relapse-free survival (RFS) in NEC patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery or chemoradiotherapy. In parallel, we will perform a prospective cohort study with patients whose diagnosis is made during surgery, who have...

Efficacy of Post-radiation Adjuvant Temozolomide Chemotherapy in Residue Low-grade Glioma
Low-grade glioma (LGG) is a common primary brain tumor in young adults. The infiltrative nature and frequent growth in eloquent area in brain often makes total resection impossible. Until now, no agreement has been achieved on the treatment of LGG without total resection. Post-radiation adjuvant temozolomide (TMZ) is currently the standard of care for high-grade gliomas. Radiotherapy or TMZ is recommended for the treatment of residue low-grade gliomas. However, the efficacy of combined radiotherapy with adjuvant TMZ for residue LGG remains to be defined. In this randomized controlled trial, the investigators will test the hypothesis that radiotherapy with subsequent TMZ...

Efficacy of the Association of Fractionated SRS and Subsequent Surgery in Patients With Brain Metastases
In this study, the possibility of performing a preoperative neoadjuvant radiotherapy dose of 27 Gy fractionated in 3 sessions is explored, to maximize the biological effect of the treatment, in patients affected by solid tumors, in particular lung, breast and melanoma, in which brain metastases have arisen, the incidence of which is constantly increasing in relation to the improvements in oncological therapies and the consequent increase in patient survival. It was demonstrated that postoperative stereotactic radiosurgery with this fractionation was effective in improving local disease control at 1 year compared to single-dose stereotactic radiosurgery (91% vs 77%) and in reducing...

Efineptakin Alfa and Pembrolizumab for the Treatment of Recurrent Glioblastoma
This phase II trial tests the safety and side effects of efineptakin alfa and pembrolizumab in treating patients with glioblastoma that has come back (recurrent). Efineptakin alfa is an immunotherapy drug that works by helping the immune system fight tumor cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving efineptakin alfa and pembrolizumab may kill more tumor cells in patients with recurrent glioblastoma.

Eflornithine (DFMO) and Etoposide for Relapsed/Refractory Neuroblastoma
Difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) will be used in an open label, multicenter, study in combination with etoposide for subjects with relapsed/refractory neuroblastoma.

EGFR806 CAR T Cell Immunotherapy for Recurrent/Refractory Solid Tumors in Children and Young Adults
This is a phase I, open-label, non-randomized study that will enroll pediatric and young adult research participants with relapsed or refractory non-CNS solid tumors to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of administering T cell products derived from the research participant's blood that have been genetically modified to express a EGFR-specific receptor (chimeric antigen receptor, or CAR) that will target and kill solid tumors that express EGFR and the selection-suicide marker EGFRt. EGFRt is a protein incorporated into the cell with our EGFR receptor which is used to identify the modified T cells and can be used as a tag that allows for elimination of the modified T...

Electrochemotherapy (ECT) in Patients With Primary Visceral Tumors and/or Secondary Visceral Localizations, of Any Histotype
This is an monocenter, single arm, clinical investigation that evaluate the impact of the method on the objective response rate (ORR) of visceral lesions undergoing electrochemotherapy. Electrochemotherapy is a well-defined method for the treatment of cutaneous and subcutaneous metastases of different tumor histotypes. Although still limited, the various experiences in the treatment of visceral localizations, particularly in liver metastases from colorectal cancer are promising and show that electrochemotherapy is a safe treatment, even in the case of lesions near large vessels or nerves. The investigators therefore propose a clinical investigation with a Medical Device...

Electrocorticography in Mapping Functional Brain Areas During Surgery in Patients With Brain Tumors
This pilot clinical trial studies how well electrocorticography works in mapping functional brain areas during surgery in patients with brain tumors. Using a larger than the standard mapping grid currently used during brain tumor surgery or a high-definition grid for electrocorticogram brain mapping may help doctors to better identify which areas of the brain are active during specific limb movement and speech during surgery in patients with brain tumors.

Electroencephalogram Predicts Post-operative Delirium
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the predictive value of sub-hairline electroencephalography (EEG) during anesthesia recovery for postoperative delirium (POD). The main question to be answered is: - Can sub-hairline EEG measured during anesthesia recovery serve as a reliable predictor of POD? Adult patients undergoing elective craniotomy and admitted to the ICU will be enrolled. Sub-hairline EEG will be monitored until ICU discharge.
