Evaluating the Expression Levels of MicroRNA-10b in Patients With Gliomas
MicroRNAs (miRNA) are molecular biomarkers that post-transcriptionally control target genes. Deregulated miRNA expression has been observed in diverse cancers. In high grade gliomas, known as glioblastomas, the investigators have identified an oncogenic miRNA, miRNA-10b (mir-10b) that is expressed at higher levels in glioblastomas than in normal brain tissue. This study tests the hypothesis that in primary glioma samples mir-10b expression patterns will serve as a prognostic and diagnostic marker. This study will also characterize the phenotypic and genotypic diversity of glioma subclasses. Furthermore, considering the critical...

Evaluation and Treatment of Neurosurgical Disorders
Objective: This protocol is designed to allow evaluation of participants neurosurgical disorders that receive care within the Surgical Neurology Branch. The participants will receive standard-of-clinical-care evaluation and treatment. The clinical data and samples generated during standard of care treatment will be collected as a part of this study. Study Population: Participants 4 years of age and older with neurosurgical-related conditions seeking care from, or referred to the Surgical Neurology Branch for evaluation are eligible for this protocol. Study Design: This is an observational study. Participants will receive...

Evaluation of 68-GaNOTA-Anti-HER2 VHH1 Uptake in Brain Metastasis of Cancer Patients
This study investigates the uptake of the radiopharmaceutical 68-GaNOTA-Anti-HER2 VHH1 in brain metastasis using PET/CT imaging. Patients with HER2-positive and HER2-negative cancer will be included and the uptake in their lesions will be compared. Optional 68-GaNOTA-Anti-HER2 VHH1 scans may be performed during or after treatment, at time points 12±6 weeks and 24±9 weeks after the first scan.

Evaluation of Anti-PD-1 Therapy by Monitoring T Cell Responses in Melanoma, Lung and Other Cancer Types
This study explores the role of T cells in monitoring disease status and response during anti-PD-1/PD-L1 treatment in patients with melanoma, lung and other cancer types. Measuring levels of specific targets such as Bim and soluble PD-L1 during therapy may help track treatment resistance and clinical outcomes. This information may also help researchers determine why some people with melanoma, lung and other cancer types respond to PD-1/PD-L1 treatment and others do not.

Evaluation of Cabozantinib in Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (mRCC) With Brain Metastases
This is a multicenter, open-label, exploratory, single-arm, prospective phase II study to assess the efficacy and safety profile of cabozantinib in patients with brain metastases from metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC).

Evaluation of Caries Prevention Based on Genetic Etiology and Risk.
Dental caries affects billions of people worldwide and involves saliva immunodeficiency, commensal pathogen and exposure (lifestyle) causal subtypes of the disease. Up to 85% of adolescents in Swedish and other low prevalence populations are caries-free while the remaining 15% show high, recurrent caries activity. Accordingly, there is a lack of cost-effective risk assessment and prevention tools for personalized oral care. This randomized adaptive clinical trial (RCT) evaluates both caries prevention based on genetic etiology and risk, as a consequence of saliva immunodeficiency genes specifying individuals as susceptible or...

Evaluation of Clinical Decision Support System for Brain Metastasis Using Brain MR Images
BT-M01 is a software that has been pre-learned based on a brain metastasis detection model using brain MR images, and clinical decision support system for brain metastasis by automatically analyzing brain MR images by assisting the medical team. The specific aims of this study are to evaluate efficacy of BT-M01 for brain metastasis compared to the sensitivity and false positive rates of radiologists group.

Evaluation of Diagnostic Performances of 18F-FDOPA PET KInetics
the investigators hypothesise that 18F-FDOPA PET kinetic parameters are good biomarkers to characterise suspected LGG brain lesions that exhibit no contrast on MRI, for identifying aggressive lesions. These parameters could constitute diagnostic biomarkers for this indication. This new diagnostic tool could enhance patient care in the short term in an evolving pathology affecting socially active subjects with a poor prognosis

Evaluation of Eflornithine Plus Temozolomide in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma
The purpose of this study is to establish the recommended phase 2 dose of eflornithine in combination with temozolomide in patients whose glioblastoma is newly diagnosed, and to evaluate safety and tolerability of this combination at that dose.
