METASTATIC BRAIN TUMOR

This study tests whether adding the drug olutasidenib to standard chemotherapy (temozolomide) can help children and young adults with a specific type of brain cancer (IDH1-mutant high-grade glioma) live longer. About 60 participants will receive the combination as maintenance the…

This study tests whether adding two different drug combinations after radiation can help children and young adults (up to age 21) with high-grade gliomas, including DIPG, live longer. One group receives ribociclib plus everolimus; another gets ribociclib plus temozolomide. The go…

This early study tests a special PET/CT scan that uses a modified tryptophan molecule to make tumors light up more clearly than normal tissue. About 24 adults with brain, breast, neuroendocrine, or rectal cancers will get one scan to see if this method helps doctors tell tumors a…

This study uses genetic testing of brain tumors from children, adolescents, and young adults (ages 1 to 39) with newly diagnosed high-grade glioma, including DIPG. The goal is to identify specific genetic changes in each tumor and then see if patients can join a treatment trial t…

This study aims to develop and test a new MRI technique to distinguish between actual tumor growth and changes caused by radiation treatment in people with brain metastases. Researchers will include both healthy volunteers and patients who have had stereotactic radiosurgery. The …

This study uses brain mapping techniques like fMRI and MEG before, during, and after surgery to see how brain functions like movement and speech reorganize in people with brain tumors. Researchers hope to improve surgical planning and preserve important brain functions. The study…

This study is creating a collection of blood samples from 300 adults with primary or metastatic brain tumors. Researchers will analyze immune cells in the blood to better understand these tumors. The goal is to provide a resource for future studies, not to test a new treatment.
