A Clinical Study to Improve Brain Function and Quality of Life of Patients With Newly Diagnosed Brain Tumors (Gliomas).
Oligodendrogliomas in the novel edition of the Central Nervous System (CNS) World Health Organization (WHO) classification are now molecularly defined by isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)1 or IDH2 mutations and 1p/19q co-deletion. The prognosis of these molecularly defined tumors is to be determined in new series since survival data from older histology-based studies and population-based registries are confounded by the inclusion of 20-70% not molecularly matching subsets. Also, the optimal treatment is a matter of ongoing investigations. An extensive, but safe surgery is associated with improved outcome as is the addition of chemotherapy with procarbazine, CCNU (lomustine),...

A Clinical Trial Assessing BT-001 Alone and in Combination With Pembrolizumab in Metastatic or Advanced Solid Tumors
This is a Phase I/IIa, multicenter, open-label, consecutive cohorts, dose-escalation study of BT-001 with repeated IT administrations alone and in combination with IV infusions of pembrolizumab.

A Clinical Trial Evaluating the Efficacy of Valganciclovir in Glioblastoma Patients
This study is a multicenter randomized double-blinded controlled phase 2 study evaluating the efficacy and safety of the anti-CMV drug valganciclovir vs placebo as add-on therapy in patients with glioblastoma. Valganciclovir is approved for treatment of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections, but may also have anti-tumoral effects. Current evidence imply that most glioblastomas are CMV positive and that the virus can affect tumor aggressiveness.

A Clinical Trial of Furmonertinib Combined With Anlotinib as First-line Treatment for Advanced NSCLC With EGFR-sensitive Mutations and Brain Metastasis
EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC patients have a higher risk of developing brain metastases. The prognosis is poor for patients presenting with brain or leptomeningeal metastases at any stage, particularly those with such metastases at initial diagnosis, who have the worst prognosis. Furmonertinib, as a novel EGFR-TKI, enhances its lipophilicity by incorporating a trifluoroethoxy pyridine group. Preclinical animal studies further confirm that both Furmonertinib (AST2818) and its metabolite (AST5902) exhibit excellent intracranial distribution. This provides strong theoretical support for the effective treatment of lung cancer brain metastasis patients with Furmonertinib. EGFR...

A Clinical Trial of LBL-024 Combined With Etoposide and Platinum in Patients With Advanced Neuroendocrine Carcinoma
An open-label, multicenter phase Ib/II clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LBL-024 combined with etoposide and platinum in the first-line treatment of patients with advanced neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC)

A Clinical Trial on Combined (Neo-)Adjuvant Intravenous Plus Intracranial Administration of Ipilimumab and Nivolumab in Recurrent Glioblastoma
The goal of this phase I interventional study is to determine the safety and feasibility of the proposed investigational (neo-)adjuvant treatment regimen in patients with resectable reccurent glioblastoma. Participants will: - receive neo-adjuvant administration of intravenous immunotherapy - followed by a maximal safe neurosurgical resection - afterwards, immunotherapy will be injected into the brain tissue - followed by insertion of an Ommaya reservoir - postoperatively, administration of immunotherapy will be continued

A Comparative Study Between Opioids Free Anesthesia and Opioid Anesthesia in Patients with Supratentorial Tumor Resection
Anesthesia for cranial surgeries is charactarized by periods of unpleasant stimuli interspersed with periods of low stimulation, which may compromise hemodynamic regulation. Intraoperative and early postoperative episodes of hypertension during moments of strong stimulation can cause major consequences such as post craniotomy intracranial haemorrhage and vasogenic brain edema. The use of powerful opioid analgesics like fentanyl and remifentanil in increasing doses for anaesthesia is a common practice among anesthesiologists.However, using strong opioids continuously or in bolus doses during surgery may result in postoperative hyperalgesia and higher analgesic need.

A Comprehensive Clinical fMRI Software Solution to Enable Mapping of Critical Functional Networks and Cerebrovascular Reactivity in the Brain
Our preliminary work demonstrates that an integrated fMRI software solution, incorporating tb-fMRI, rs-fMRI, and CVR mapping, is clinically feasible and helps clinicians plan brain tumor resection. We have developed a novel automated seed selection method that can accurately map language networks from rs-fMRI. We hypothesize that our innovative approach to enhance, optimize, and validate our preliminary software and integrate it with an established fMRI platform will create robust solutions for clinical RSN and CVR mapping. Partnering with NordicNeuroLab (NNL) will leverage the professional software development by a seasoned commercial MRI software producer in coordination...

ACTEMRA® for the Treatment of Pediatric Adamantinomatous Craniopharyngioma
ACTEMRA (tocilizumab) is an IL-6 receptor antagonist used for the treatment of adult Rheumatoid Arthritis as well as Polyarticular (PJIA) and Systemic (SJIA) Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. In this Phase II, the drug will be used to treat pediatric patients diagnosed with recurrent Adamantinomatous Craniopharyngioma including patients who have undergone surgery and/or radiation therapy.
