This study is testing a new approach to personalize treatment for people with a fast-growing brain tumor called glioblastoma. Researchers will use a lab test on tumor cells to see which drugs might work best for each patient. The goal is to find out if this method can help more p…

This study follows 15,000 people with various spinal conditions (like stenosis, fractures, infections, or cancer spread) to see how their quality of life changes over 5 years. Participants fill out questionnaires about their health and daily activities. The goal is to understand …

This study is for people aged 3 and older with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), a genetic condition that often causes noncancerous nerve tumors. About half of people with NF1 get these tumors, and sometimes they turn cancerous. Researchers want to test a new method to predict whic…

This study follows 600 childhood cancer survivors aged 8-18 to understand why symptoms like fatigue, pain, and depression often occur together. Researchers will use questionnaires and stool samples to see if gut bacteria and their byproducts play a role. The goal is to find bette…

This study tests a new communication tool called 'Let's Get REAL' that helps children and teens (ages 8-17) and their families talk together about stem cell transplant or cellular therapy decisions. The goal is to see if the tool is easy to use and helpful for families. About 60 …

This study aims to collect and analyze tumor samples from 10,000 adults with advanced solid cancers (like breast, lung, or colon cancer) to create a province-wide gene database. The goal is to help doctors identify which targeted drugs or clinical trials might work best for each …

This study looks at how the cancer drug olutasidenib affects the way the body processes other medications. Researchers will give 16 adults with IDH1-mutated cancers a mix of test drugs before and during olutasidenib treatment to measure changes in drug levels. The goal is to ensu…

This study looks at three small molecules (miRNAs) that may help stop glioma, a type of brain tumor, from growing and spreading. Researchers will test these molecules in cells from 10 patients to see how they affect tumor behavior and response to standard treatments like radiatio…

This study looks back at data from 370 children treated for ependymoma, a common brain tumor in kids. Even after surgery and radiation, about half of these tumors return. Researchers are using artificial intelligence to analyze medical images, genetics, and treatment records to f…

This study tests a special pair of glasses (loupe-based device) that helps surgeons see brain tumor tissue during surgery using fluorescence. The goal is to see if this wearable device is as accurate as the large microscope currently used. 30 adults with glioblastoma or anaplasti…

This observational study collects tumor tissue and blood cells from 200 people with advanced solid tumors like colorectal, lung, and pancreatic cancers. The goal is to understand how often tumors lose a specific marker (HLA) and to store participants' own T cells for potential fu…

This study follows 1,400 children and teens (ages 3-21) in Southern Europe with acute lymphoblastic leukemia or certain brain tumors. Researchers will track their diet, lifestyle, and quality of life over time to see how these factors relate to treatment side effects and survival…

This study uses a special microscope called intravital microscopy to look at blood vessels inside solid tumors while patients are in surgery. Researchers want to see how these vessels work and how well they let blood and dye flow through. The goal is to learn whether tumor vessel…

This study looks at a new CT scan technology to see if it produces clearer images of brain tumors. About 120 adults with diagnosed brain tumors will have their scans reviewed by radiologists. The goal is to improve image quality and diagnostic confidence, not to test a treatment.

This early-stage trial tests a new device called the CIPHER System, which records brain activity during surgery to remove a type of brain tumor called glioma. Ten adults with newly diagnosed glioma will have the device placed on their brain surface during standard tumor removal. …

This study compares brain development in children who had multiple anesthesia exposures during retinoblastoma treatment to children who never had anesthesia. Researchers will use intelligence and memory tests to see if there are differences. The goal is to understand if anesthesi…
