Glioblastoma Imaging for the Detection of Tumor Progression Using APTw-CEST MRI
In this study, the invesigators look at how a new MRI technique (called amide proton transfer weighted (APTw) chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST)) can improve treatment for brain tumors through early detection of tumor progression after radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy treatment. An issue with the current treatment for patients with a brain tumor, is the inability to detect tumor progression early. An abnormality is seen on MRI scans taken shortly after treatment with radiotherapy in about 30% of patients. This abnormality may be a sign that radiotherapy treatment has worked well and will disappear on its own after a while. However, an abnormality can also be a sign...

Glioblastoma Radiotherapy Using IMRT or Proton Beams
Radiation therapy is an integral part of the multimodal primary therapy of glioblastomas. As the overall prognosis in this tumor entity remains unfavorable, current research is focused on additional drug therapies, which are often accompanied by increases in toxicity. By using proton beams instead of photon beams, it is possible to protect large parts of the brain which are not affected by the tumor more effectively. An initial retrospective matched-pair analysis showed that this theoretical physical benefit is also clinically associated with a reduction in toxicity during therapy and in the first few months thereafter. The aim of the GRIPS study is to prospectively test this...

Glioblastoma Remote Monitoring and Care - Research Protocol
The purpose of this research is to learn more about how what the Apple watch measures, in terms of walking data, heart rate, breathing rate, and sleep habits, relates to how participants feel. During the course of the treatment, the symptoms participants experience change, and whether the Apple watch can detect these changes. Ultimately, this knowledge is being used to design proactive tools and signatures that can predict complications or symptom changes before they happen.

Glioblastoma Targeted Treatment Option Maximization by WGS
In Dutch centers performing neurosurgery on and/or treating GBM, all recurrent GBM patients are discussed in local tumor boards and this setup will be used to effectively identify possible GLOW study candidates. 160 patients that will undergo re-resection in the GLOW study will be presented with WGS results leading to added treatment options.

Glioma Developmental and HyperActive Ras Tumor (DHART) Board
This study will collect medical records, scan results, and complete surveys to create a registry about people with a neurofibromatosis type 1-associated brain tumor (NF1-associated glioma). A registry is a collection of health information about individuals, and it is usually focused on a specific diagnosis or condition. This registry study will help the researchers learn more about the diagnosis, treatment, and quality of life of people with NF1-associated glioma. The researchers want to understand what happens as a result of different treatments for NF1-associated glioma and how these treatments and the disease itself affect people's lives over a period of time. Information...

Glofitamab With Obinutuzumab Pre-treatment for the Treatment of Central Nervous System Lymphoma
This phase Ib trial tests the safety and side effects of glofitamab after pre-treatment with obinutuzumab and how well they work in treating patients with central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma. Glofitamab is a bispecific antibody that can bind to two different antigens (substances that cause the body to make a specific immune response) at the same time. Glofitamab binds to CD20 on lymphoma cells, and CD3 on T-cells (a type of white blood cell) and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Obinutuzumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to...

Glutamate Excitotoxicity and Its Role in Glioblastoma Biology
Gliomas are the most frequent type of primary brain tumors in adults; among them glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most malignant, being associated with the worst prognosis. Glutamate (Glu) is an aminoacid, responsible for essential functions in the Central Nervous System (CNS), acting both as metabolite and neurotransmitter. It is essential for regulating cellular metabolism and developmental synaptogenesis, cellular migration, differentiation and death. Recent scientific evidences have demonstrated alteration in Glu synthesis and signaling being directly involved in GBM growth and invasion

Glutamate Inhibitors in Glioblastoma
The goal of this 1:1 randomized, multi-center, open-label phase Ib/II clinical trial is to explore the efficacy of the add-on of the anti-glutamatergic drugs gabapentin, sulfasalazine and memantine to standard chemoradiotherapy with temozolomide compared to chemoradiotherapy alone in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma.

GM103 Intratumoral Injection in Patients With Locally Advanced, Unresectable, Refractory and/or Metastatic Solid Tumors
The purpose of this study is to measure safety, tolerability, and preliminary antitumor efficacy of GM103 administered alone and in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with locally advanced, unresectable, refractory and/or metastatic solid tumors (including but not limited to head and neck cancer, malignant melanoma, CRC, renal cell carcinoma, cervical cancer, and breast cancer). Study details include:

GPC2 CAR T Cells for Relapsed or Refractory Neuroblastoma and Metastatic Retinoblastoma
This is a first in human dose escalation trial to determine the safety of administering GPC2 CAR T cells in patients with advanced neuroblastoma or retinoblastoma.
