NEOadjuvant PembRolizumab In Stratified Medicine - ColoRectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the 2nd to 3rd most common malignant disease in developed countries, with over 1 million new cases and 500,000 deaths worldwide each year. The primary treatment for early stage CRC is surgery to remove the tumour, which is possible in 80% of patients. Even after surgery up to half of patients will develop recurrence or spread of the disease (metastases) which is incurable. Survival after 5 years is approximately 14% for patients with metastatic disease. Clinical trials using immunotherapy drugs called 'immune checkpoint inhibitors' have shown excellent results in advanced colorectal cancer patients who have certain genetic characteristics...

Neoadjuvant Radio-chemotherapy Safety Pilot Study in Patients With Glioblastoma
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy in the surgical resection of glioblastoma (GBM). The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the safety profile of neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy in terms of neurological deficit, radionecrosis, edema, headache, wound dehiscence, infection, and cerebrospinal fluid fistula? - What is the efficacy of neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy in terms of progression-free survival, overall survival, cognitive function, and quality of life? Participants will undergo the following tasks and treatments: - Stereotactic biopsy and diagnosis confirmation. ...

Neoantigen-based Personalized DNA Vaccine With Retifanlimab PD-1 Blockade Therapy in Patients With Newly Diagnosed, Unmethylated Glioblastoma
This is a single institution, open-label, multi-arm, phase I study assessing the safety and immunogenicity of a personalized neoantigen-based personalized DNA vaccine combined with PD-1 blockade therapy in subjects with newly diagnosed, MGMT promoter unmethylated glioblastoma (GBM). Immune checkpoint blockade, specifically those targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 pathways, has shown efficacy in multiple solid and hematologic malignancies. Furthermore, as has been demonstrated in metastatic melanoma, combining PD-1/PD-L1 blockade with other immune checkpoint inhibitors has shown improved objective response rates, though there is a significant increase in serious immune-related adverse...

Neratinib + Valproate in Advanced Solid Tumors, w/Expansion Cohort in Ras-Mutated Ca
To determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of the combination of neratinib and sodium valproate when given to patients with advanced solid tumors. Then to explore the antitumor effects of the neratinib and sodium valproate combination in advanced solid tumors with attention to RAS-mutated tumors, EGFR-altered GBM, and ocular melanoma, as part of the phase 2 expansion cohort.

Neuro-pharmacological Properties of Repurposed Ketoconazole in Glioblastomas
This research is being done to find out if the study drug (ketoconazole) can enter brain tumors at a high enough amount to stop the tumor cells from dividing. Ketoconazole is a drug which doctors already use for fungal infections and is thought to be able to effect tumor cells. As treatments for this type of brain tumor are limited, it is hoped that the results of this study will help to determine if the study drug should be studied further as a possible treatment.

Neuropsychological and Oncological Outcomes in Grade 2 or 3 Glioma Patients Undergoing Postoperative Modern Radiotherapy
Background: Infiltrative low grade gliomas (LGGs) are the most common primary central nervous system malignancies excluding the highest grade glioma, glioblastoma multiforme. Craniotomy with maximal safe tumor resection is endeavored to achieve longer survivals in LGG patients. Unfortunately, due to the infiltrative nature of gliomas and the frequent tumor location in eloquent areas, gross total resection is usually not applicable. According to National Comprehensive Cancer Network 2015 guidelines, postoperative adjuvant radiation therapy (RT) is recommended for most adult patients with low-grade infiltrative LGGs in order to enhance local control and prolong progression-free...

Neurosurgical Neuronavigation Using Resting State MRI and Machine Learning
This study is investigating the use of a computer algorithm to analyze scans of the brain before surgery to predict how a person's tumor will respond to treatment.

New Adjuvant Vaccine in Glioblastoma, a Phase 1/2a Study
This phase I/II trial evaluates the safety and the immunological efficacy of a cancer vaccine against 2 glioma-associated antigens in newly-diagnosed glioblastomas. All patients enrolled in the study will receive standard treatment consisting of surgical resection of the tumor followed by radio-chemotherapy. Immunotherapy will begin 4 weeks after the completion of radiotherapy.
