FLT-PET / MRI Brain Mets
Brain metastasis (BrM) develops in approximately 40% of cancer patients. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a form of radiotherapy that delivers high-dose per fraction to individual lesions that is commonly used to treat BrM. Radionecrosis (RN) is an adverse event that occurs in approximately 10 - 25% of patients 6 - 24 months after treatment with SRS. Tumour progression may also occur due to local failure of treatment. Radionecrosis and tumour progression share very similar clinical features including vomiting, nausea, and focal neurologic findings. Radionecrosis and tumour progression also share overlapping imaging...

Fluorescence Detection of Adult Primary Central Nervous System Tumors With Tozuleristide and the Canvas System
The purpose of this study is to examine the use of a single dose of tozuleristide (24 or 36 mg) and the Canvas imaging system during surgical resection of primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors: Primary gadolinium enhancing (high grade) CNS tumors, primary non-gadolinium enhancing CNS tumors, and primary vestibular schwannoma. The primary objectives of the study is to see how well tozuleristide and the Canvas imaging system during surgical resection will show fluorescence among primary enhancing/high grade CNS tumors; and among the tumors that demonstrate tozuleristide fluorescence, to estimate the true positive rate and true...

Fluorescence Guided Minimally-Invasive Resection Of Abdominal Paragangliomas Using Indocyanine Green
This study is exploring whether it's possible to detect paragangliomas (a rare type of tumor) during minimally invasive surgery by using a technique called near-infrared fluorescence imaging, guided by a substance called indocyanine green (ICG). The goal is to see if this method can help surgeons identify and treat paragangliomas more accurately and during minimally invasive procedures.

Fluorine-18-AlphaVBeta6-Binding Peptide Positron Emission Tomography in Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
This study investigates fluorine-18-AlphaVBeta6-BP ([18F]-αvβ6-BP) as a Positron Emission (PET) imaging agent in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients with brain metastases. Investigators hypothesize that [18F]-αvβ6-BP PET/Computed Tomography (CT) is a sensitive tool for disease assessment in patients with metastatic NSCLC, including those with brain metastases.

FMT in Checkpoint Inhibitor-mediated Diarrhea and Colitis
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the outcome of patients with immune checkpoint inhibitor-mediated diarrhea/colitis (IMC) treated with faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in a randomised, placebo-controlled trial. The aim of the present study is to assess the feasibility, pilot efficacy, and safety of FMT for patients with IMC. Participants will be treated two times with capsule FMT or placebo capsules in a 1:1 ratio. The intervention treatment will be an add-on to the patients' standard treatment for IMC. Researchers will compare the FMT-treated group to the placebo-treated group to see if FMT ...

FMT to Convert Response to Immunotherapy
In this study the aim is to investigate whether transfer of the microbiota of either responder or non-responder patients via fecal microbiotica transplantation (FMT) can convert the response to immunotherapy in immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) refractory metastatic melanoma patients. This is a randomized double-blind intervention phase Ib/IIa trial in ICI refractory metastatic melanoma patients receiving either FMT of an ICI responding or FMT from an ICI non-responding donor, in combination with ICI. Following randomization, patients will receive vancomycin 250 mg, four times daily for 4 days (day -5 up until day -2),...

Focal Radiotherapy Plus Low Dose Craniospinal Irradiation Followed by Adjuvant Chemotherapy in WNT Medulloblastoma.
This clinical study is going to be done on a type of brain tumor in children called Medulloblastoma. The WNT pathway type of medulloblastoma is considered to be low risk and have the best outcomes in terms of survival. With the current standard of care for this type of medulloblastoma it is believed by the investigators that we are over treating the disease and increasing the long term side effects of these children. Several groups in the world are testing de-intensification of treatment in this favourable subset of children who experience long term late side effects of therapy. By reducing the dose to the craniospinal axis and ...

Follow-up of a National Cohort of Melanoma Resectable Stage II, Stage III or IV Patients or Unresectable Primary
Prevention of melanoma can be efficient but mortality remains unchanged and 15 to 20% of patients still die from melanoma. Indeed metastatic melanoma is a heterogeneous highly and multiple mutations driven cancer. Significant survival benefit was demonstrated since 2011 with anti-CTLA4 +/- programmed death-1 (anti PD1) antibodies, B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) and MAP-ERK kinase (MEK) inhibitors. Future improvement of advanced melanoma prognosis will rely on clinico-epidemiological studies and on biological studies to validate and identify new prognostic and predictive factors based on clinico-epidemiological...

Follow-up of Patients With Uveal Melanoma Adapted to the Risk of Relapse (SALOME)
Biomarkers search for early diagnosis of liver metastases in patients with uveal melanoma who benefit from a follow-up tailored to their personalized risk of relapse.
