Feasibility of Intraoperative Tracing of Meningioma Using [Cu64]DOTATATE
The study team hypothesizes that it is feasible to intraoperatively detect tumor following [CU64]DOTATATE injection using the gamma probe device.

Feasibility of Screening for Early Late Effects of Contemporary Therapy in High-Risk Neuroblastoma Survivors
The study participant is being asked to be in a research study called LEGACY, because you were treated for high-risk neuroblastoma (HR-NBL). Primary Objective To determine the feasibility of conducting comprehensive evaluations, leveraging the established SJLIFE (St. Jude Lifetime Cohort Study) study infrastructure, in survivors of HR-NBL (high-risk neuroblastoma) who are greater than 2 years from completion of contemporary therapy and were previously treated at SJCRH (St. Jude Children's Research Hospital). Exploratory Objectives - To describe the health outcomes of survivors of HR-NBL previously treated at SJCRH with contemporary era therapy who are greater...

Feasibility of Transcranial Focused Ultrasound to Measure Brain Tumor
Transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) offers a platform for non-invasive imaging and treatment of the brain and pathology of the brain -- allowing high resolution imaging in both spatial and temporal dimensions. Compared with the gold- standard for brain imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound offers reduced contrast while providing improved sampling in time through a significantly more cost-effective approach. In addition, while MRI is used to guide invasive treatments, only ultrasound can offer treatments through three primary mechanisms: 1) neuromodulation, 2) blood brain barrier modulation, and thermal/mechanical ablation through high intensity focused...

FeelFit: High-intensity Interval Training to Improve Self-reported Physical Fitness in Brain Tumor Patients
The FeelFit study aims to assess the effectiveness of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) in improving self-reported physical fitness in adult brain tumor patients during periods of stable disease, as compared to a waiting-list control group. Furthermore, several secondary and exploratory outcomes will be evaluated. The study is part of the GRIP (GuaRding quality survivorshiP) project, which aims to improve quality of life in brain tumor patients.

FET PET in Differentiating Tumour Progression From Pseudoprogression in High Grade Glioma
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the performance characteristics of O-(2-[18F]fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine (FET) PET in differentiating pseudoprogression from tumour progression in patients with equivocal conventional imaging and determine the sensitivity and specificity of [18F]FET-PET in delineating disease. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - whether 18F-FET-PET will demonstrate high diagnostic accuracy to detect true tumour progression - whether we can optimise the threshold cut-offs for TBRmax and other relevant parameters in discriminating pseudoprogression and disease progression Participants will undergo a limited 18F-FET PET/CT...

FET-PET/MRI Based Treatment Planning for Glioblastoma Multiforme in Post-Surgical Patients (FET-TREAT)
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) represent the most common primary brain malignancy and prognosis remains poor. The most common subtype is glioblastoma which has a 5-year survival rate of approximately 5%. Despite advances in MRI techniques, accurately determining total extent of tumor remains a challenge. The result is incomplete treatment resulting in reduced survival or overtreatment resulting in avoidable treatment related morbidity. A more accurate means of assessing tumor extent is needed to guide management to improve patient survival and quality of life.

FG001 in Subjects with Meningiomas or Presumed Low-Grade Gliomas Scheduled for Neurosurgery
In neurosurgery both the diffusely infiltrated gliomas of the brain as well as the border towards healthy tissue in the meninges is a challenge. For the high-grade contrast enhanced gliomas fluorescent drugs like Gliolan have been used in several years and proved its clinical value. For non-contrast enhanced gliomas, like low-grade glioma, no such drug exist. The transition zone towards healthy non-tumor cell infiltrated brain in such low-grade gliomas is extremely difficult but for these patients their prognosis depends on the amount of non-healthy tissue left behind. Also, in benign tumors as meningioma the complete resection including infiltrated meninges is of importance for...

Fibrosis in Chronic and Delayed Myocardial Infarction
In this study the investigators aim to examine the role that fibrosis plays in heart conditions such as aortic stenosis , chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity and carcinoid syndrome . Fibrosis is a common final result following any injury to the heart muscle and the investigators aim to identify this process early and in its active state. This will be examined by using a radiotracer 68Ga-FAPI or 18F-AlF-FAPI and PET-MRI or PET-CT.

Financial Toxicity and Patient-Reported Outcomes in GEP-NEN During Treatment
The aim of this study is to evaluate the financial toxicity reported by Italian patients affected by GEP-NEN during the first year of treatment after diagnosis and its correlations with patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and quality of life (QoL).

First in Human Study of NVG-111 in Relapsed/Refractory ROR1+ Malignancies
NVG-111 is a bispecific antibody drug, having two "arms", one arm attaches to a substance on cancer cells called ROR1, the other arm attaches to the body's immune cells directing them to kill the cancer cells. This is the first clinical trial of the drug NVG-111, and will include patients with certain types of cancer including chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), follicular lymphoma (FL) and diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in Group A. Subjects with solid tumours, focusing initially on stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or malignant melanoma.
