Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of administering the medication capecitabine along with temozolomide when you start your monthly regimen of oral temozolomide for the treatment of your newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Capecitabine is an oral chemotherapy that is given to patients with other types of cancer. The study will evaluate whether the dosage of 1500 mg/m2 of capecitabine is tolerable after radiation, when taken along with temozolomide. It will also try to determine if the medication capecitabine helps patients respond to treatment for a longer period of time compared to just temozolomide alone, which is the standard of care.
The goal of this study is to learn about the cognitive and behavioral functioning of children being treated for cancer.
To assess: - efficacy of APL-101 as monotherapy for the treatment of NSCLC harboring MET Exon 14 skipping mutations, NSCLC harboring MET amplification, solid tumors harboring MET amplification, solid tumors harboring MET fusion, primary CNS tumors harboring MET alterations, solid tumors harboring wild-type MET with overexpression of HGF and MET - efficacy of APL-101 as an add-on therapy to EGFR inhibitor for the treatment of NSCLC harboring EGFR activating mutations and developed acquired resistance with MET amplification and disease progression after documented CR or PR with 1st line EGFR inhibitors (EGFR-I)
Although the Magnetic resonance imaging with contrast is the gold standard for diagnosis of intra axial brain masses. The conventional Magnetic resonance imaging appearances of intra axial brain masses can be non-specific and even the use of contrast agent is of limited benefit. Contrast enhancement reflects only disruption of blood brain barrier. One third of high-grade malignancies are non-enhanced and may non-neoplastic lesions show contrast enhancement. Reliable differentiation of neoplastic from non-neoplastic brain masses, or of high grade from low grade tumor, is difficult with conventional Magnetic resonance imaging
This research study is evaluating an investigational drug, an oncolytic virus called rQNestin34.5v.2. This research study is a Phase I clinical trial, which tests the safety of an investigational drug and also tries to define the appropriate dose of the investigational drug as a possible treatment for this diagnosis of recurrent or progressive brain tumor.
The purpose of this study is to determine the ability of letrozole to penetrate the blood brain barrier and concentrate in gliomas.
This study is to evaluate which cognitive-linguistic symptoms are most commonly experienced following brain tumor treatment. Cognitive surveys will be administered after treatment of primary brain tumor cancer.
PET-MRI scanning regarding amino acid metabolic profile, functional and morphological details will be performed on set intervals to patients with brain tumor & brain metastases in order to try to optimize the study protocol, distinguish between pseudo-response to anti-angiogenic therapy and tumor progression, and most importantly try to distinguish between progressive tumor and treatment related effects.3 cohort of patients will be included in the study.
This study proposes to do a prospective observational cohort study evaluating the quality of life (QOL) of children with Central Nervous System (CNS) tumors and their families who choose to self-medicate with marijuana-derived products while undergoing treatment at Children's Hospital Colorado (CHCO).
Pulse pressure variation (PPV) to standard fluid management (4ml/Kg/hr) in patients undergoing supratentorial mass excision. The investigators hypothesize that in these procedures, goal-directed fluid therapy (GDT) might improve brain relaxation, and patient hemodynamics intra and postoperatively.
