Safety, Tolerability, PK/PD & Preliminary Efficacy of SKL27969 in Advanced Solid Tumors Patients
Primary Objective of Part 1 (Dose Escalation Phase): Evaluate the safety and tolerability of SKL27969, and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of SKL27969 Primary Objective of Part 2 (Dose Expansion Phase): Evaluate the preliminary anti-tumor activity of SKL27969

Sapanisertib Before and After Surgery in Treating Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma
This partially randomized pilot phase I trial studies how much sapanisertib reaches the brain tumor and how well it works when given before and after surgery in treating patients with glioblastoma that has grown or come back and requires surgery. Sapanisertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Seizures During Radiotherapy for High-grade Gliomas
The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the seizure frequency during a course of radiotherapy for high-grade (grade III or IV) gliomas. The patients keep a seizure diary during and up to 6 weeks following radiotherapy. Every day, the patients document the number (and type) of seizures and intake of anti-epileptic medication. At the end of radiotherapy, the patients are asked to complete a questionnaire regarding their satisfaction with the seizure diary. Progression of seizure activity compared to baseline is defined as increase of frequency of seizures by more than 50%, increase of severity of seizures, or as Initiation or increase anti-epileptic medication by at...

Solriamfetol in Improving Sleep in Patients With Grade II-IV Glioma
This phase II trial studies the side effects of solriamfetol in improving sleep in patients with grade II-IV glioma. Solriamfetol is a wakefulness-promoting drug. Giving solriamfetol may improve sleep, memory, fatigue, mood, or quality of life in patients with brain tumors (gliomas).

Spatial Analysis and Validation of Glioblastoma on 7 T MRI
Currently, patients with a glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) are treated with a combination of different therapeutic modalities including resection, concurrent chemo- and radiotherapy and adjuvant temozolomide. However, survival is still poor and most of these tumours recur within one to two years within the previously irradiated target volume. The radiation target volume encompasses both the contrast-enhanced lesion on T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), plus a 1.5 - 2 cm isotropic margin in order to include microscopic speculated growth. These margins result in a high dose to surrounding healthy appearing brain tissue. Moreover, the short progression-free survival...

Stem Cell Radiotherapy and Temozolomide for Newly Diagnosed High-grade Glioma
There are preliminary studies that suggest that radiation therapy to areas of the brain containing cancer stem cells (in addition to the area where the tumor was surgically treated) may help patients with high-grade brain tumors live longer. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the addition of stem-cell radiation therapy to the standard chemoradiation will further improve the outcome. The investigators will collect information about the patient's clinical status, disease control, neurocognitive effects, and quality of life during follow-up in our department. The purpose of the study is to improve the overall survival patients with newly diagnosed malignant brain...

Stereotactic Radiosurgery With Nivolumab and Valproate in Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the immunotherapeutic agent nivolumab given in combination with gamma knife therapy and valproate in patients with recurrent glioblastoma, a common and lethal type of brain cancer.

Stress, Exercise Behavior and Survival in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma and in a Close Partner
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common malignant central nervous system (CNS) tumor in adulthood with a median survival of 12-16 months. The drastically shorted life expectancy, intellectual changes and rapid physical decline in those patients are devastating and do impose a profound chronic stress on patients and their families. There is extensive evidence that chronic stress can promote cancer growth and progression. In the setting of GBM patients, three major questions still have to be answered and will be analysed in this study: 1. Is there a prognostic significance of stress in patients with newly diagnosed GBM on treatment tolerance and (progression free)...
