Filter by:This phase I trial studies how well gallium Ga 68-DOTATATE positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) works in predicting tumor growth in patients with meningiomas. Giving Gallium Ga 68-DOTATATE before PET/CT scan may work better in predicting tumor growth in patients with meningiomas.
The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of a single dose of Cu-64 SARTATE and multiple doses of Cu-67 SARTATE administered to participants with meningioma. All participants in this study will be injected with a single dose of Cu-64 SARTATE to demonstrate how it is absorbed in the body. Then participants will receive individualised doses of Cu-67 SARTATE for up to 4 cycles.
Patients undergoing elective meningeoma resection surgery will be randomly assigned to one of the following two groups. After anesthesia induction but before skull-pin insertion, one group will receive scalp nerve blocks with 0.5% ropivacaine, whereas the other group will receive scalp nerve blocks with 0.9% saline. The patients' postoperative recovery quality, which is evaluated by KPS score, peri-operative inflammatory responses, and post-operative pain degree will be evaluated and compared between the two groups.
Meningioma is the most common central nervous system tumor and craniotomy with tumor removal was associated with moderate blood loss and blood transfusion. Magnesium has hypotensive effect and probably reduce intraoperative blood loss. Whether or not magnesium sulphate can reduce intraoperative blood loss and improve postoperative cognitive function is still inconclusive. So the investigators conduct the randomized control trial to compare the effect of magnesium with placebo control in blood loss and cognitive function in meningioma patient undergoing craniotomy.
This is a Phase 2 peptide receptor radionuclide therapy trial of 90Y-DOTATOC in patients with somatostatin receptor positive tumors.
To compare daily oral mifepristone vs placebo with respect to time to treatment failure in patients with unresectable meningioma.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if the study drug AZD2014 can shrink growing or symptomatic meningiomas.
Several studies showed that radiotherapy as brain tumors treatment may affect cognition. It was observed that durable memory impairments could arise at irradiated patients if radiotherapy is applied on medial temporal lobes. However, results concerned studies of anterograde memory and none, this day, estimates the impact of radiotherapy on autobiographical memory which also involves hippocampus. The aim of this study is to evaluate effects of cavernous sinus or sellar region irradiation on autobiographical memory. Thirty 35 to 65 years old patients, with cavernous sinus meningioma or pituitary adenoma for who radiotherapy is indicated will be recruited.
To determine if combination of everolimus and octreotide exert an anti-tumoral activity in recurrent and/or aggressive meningiomas growth with limited adverse effects.
Prevention and early detection of medical problems can greatly reduce health care costs, yet time and again, people avoid or ignore services that could help detect medical problems early enough to prevent or reduce the severity of potential problems. The investigators seek to understand whether the elicitation of symptom admission by patients can predict people's perceived risk of the medical condition and voluntary pursuit of medical information.
