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 PF-08046037 Alone or With Sasanlimab in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Malignancies
The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and the effects of PF-08046037 alone or with sasanlimab for the treatment of certain advanced or metastatic malignancies. This study is seeking participants who: - have advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), melanoma, or pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC); - are able to provide tumor tissue samples; - have measurable disease. All participants will receive while at the clinic PF-08046037 alone as an intravenous (IV) infusion (given directly into a vein) or with sasanlimab as a subcutaneous (SQ) injection (given under...

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 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.

Adaptive Radiotherapy and MRIs Based on Patients With Newly Diagnosed High-Grade Glioma
The purpose of this study is to find out if performing additional Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) scans of the subjects' brain during each week of the radiation treatment of their high-grade glioma will help improve the radiation treatment.

Adding IL-2 to Tebentafusp to Eradicate Cancer Progression
A recent clinical trial found that after 36 months, patients taking tebentafusp had a median survival of 21.6 months, compared to 16.9 months for those in the control group. Since recruitment for tebentafusp in metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM) has ended, a new trial is starting to test whether adding IL-2 can help overcome resistance to tebentafusp and improve its effectiveness. This study aims to answer: 1. Can combining tebentafusp with IL-2 improve tumor response and overall survival? 2. What are the benefits and side effects of this combination therapy? All participants will receive both IL-2 and tebentafusp in a 28-day treatment cycle. The dosing schedule is as...

Adding Of Naxitamb In Induction Therapy For High Risk Neuroblastoma
To explore the efficacy of adding anti-GD2 immunotherapy (Naxitamab) at the stage of induction chemotherapy for newly diagnosed high risk neuroblastoma patients. To investigate wether anding Naxitamab in the induction phase will improve the response rate at the end of induction therapy and further improve the overall survival rate.

Addressing Social Determinants of Health Among Metro Detroit Cancer Survivors
The goal of this screening study is to determine the feasibility of completing a social needs screening tool in participants who have a past or current cancer diagnosis and reside in Metro Detroit, Michigan. Main questions to answer are: - Can we have a completion rate of at least 80% of participants filling out the screening tool? - Can we determine procedures for patient referrals based on social needs - Can we implement brief interventions based on food access and digital inclusion (ensuring everyone has access to the digital technologies they need to participate in society)
