Blood Brain Barrier Differences in Patients With Brain Tumors Undergoing Surgery

Central Nervous System NeoplasmLocalized Brain Neoplasm2 more

This pilot research trial studies blood brain barrier differences in patients with brain tumors undergoing surgery. Studying samples of tissue and blood from patients with brain tumors in the laboratory may help doctors to understand how well drugs get into different parts of a brain tumor. This may help them to determine which types of drugs may be best for treating brain tumors.

Collecting and Storing Tissue From Young Patients With Cancer

Acute Lymphoblastic LeukemiaAcute Myeloid Leukemia12 more

This laboratory study is collecting and storing tissue, blood, and bone marrow samples from young patients with cancer. Collecting and storing samples of tissue, blood, and bone marrow from patients with cancer to study in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that may occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer.

Malignant Central Nervous System NeoplasmPrimary Central Nervous System Neoplasm

This early phase I trial studies the feasibility of giving memantine for the reduction of cognitive impairment after radiation therapy in pediatric patients with central nervous system tumors. Memantine may reduce the effects of radiation therapy on memory and thinking.

AXL Inhibitor BGB324 in Treating Participants With Recurrent Glioblastoma Undergoing Surgery

Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors

This phase I trial studies how well AXL inhibitor BGB324 works in treating participants with glioblastoma that has come back who are undergoing surgery. AXL inhibitor BGB324 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Biological Therapy in Treating Patients With Primary or Advanced Glioma

Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors

RATIONALE: Biological therapies use different ways to stimulate the immune system and stop cancer cells from growing. Interleukin-2 may stimulate a person's white blood cells to kill cancer cells in patients with primary or advanced glioma. PURPOSE: Clinical trial to study the effectiveness of biological therapy with interleukin-2 and lymphokine-activated killer cells in treating patients who have primary, recurrent, or refractory malignant glioma.

Clinical, Radiological, Histologic and Molecular Features of a Cohort of Melanocytic Tumors of the...

Meningeal MelanocytomaMeningeal Melanomatosis2 more

Primary melanocytic tumors of the central nervous system are rare lesions and occur develop from leptomeningeal melanocytes. The WHO classification of tumors of the central nervous system in its most recent version (2021) distinguishes on the one hand the circumscribed melanocytic tumors including melanocytoma, benign, and its slope malignant, meningeal melanoma, with an intermediate grade lesion in between, called intermediate grade melanocytoma. They are to be distinguished from diffuse tumors or multifocal diseases such as melanocytosis and its malignant corollary, melanomatosis. The main current challenge is to distinguish them from their differential diagnoses, namely metastasis of a cutaneous or extrac-cutaneous melanoma mainly and on the other hand other pigmented entities occuring in the CNS such as malignant melanic tumor of the peripheral nerve sheath (MMNST, formerly "melanotic schwannoma").

68-Ga DOTATATE PET/MRI in the Diagnosis and Management of Somatostatin Receptor Positive CNS Tumors....

CNS TumorsMeningioma5 more

The study population consists of patients who undergo resection for somatostatin receptor-positive (SSTR-positive) CNS tumors, focusing on meningioma, and including esthesioneuroblastoma, hemangioblastoma, medulloblastoma, paraganglioma, pituitary adenoma, and SSTR-positive systemic cancers metastatic to the brain, such as small cell carcinoma of the lung. The study indication is to determine the diagnostic utility of 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/MRI in the diagnosis and management of patients with SSTR-positive CNS tumors, specifically whether 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/MRI demonstrates utility distinguishing between tumor recurrence and post-treatment change. To date, the utility of Ga-68-DOTATATE PET/MRI in meningioma has not been explored. Investigators have over the past 3 months been able to accrue the largest case series of presently 12 patients in whom Ga-68-DOTATATE PET/MRI demonstrated utility in the assessment of meningioma, including assessment for postsurgical/postradiation recurrence, detection of additional lesions not visualized on MRI alone, and evaluation of osseous invasion. Based on this initial experience, investigators intend to study the impact of Ga-68-DOTATATE PET/MRI in the assessment of the extent of residual tumor in patients status post meningioma resection, specifically in patients in whom tumor location limits resectability, patients with World Health Organization (WHO) grade II/III disease, and patients with history of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) who develop postradiation change.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Biomarkers for Brain Tumors

Central Nervous System Neoplasm

This study examines cerebrospinal biomarkers in patients with brain tumors. A biomarker is a measurable indicator of the severity or presence of your disease state. Collecting and storing samples of cerebrospinal fluid from patients with brain tumors to study in the laboratory may help doctors develop new strategies to better diagnose, monitor, and treat brain tumors.

Characterizing Sleep Among Long-term Survivors of Childhood Cancer

ALLAdult2 more

The patients are being asked to take part in this clinical trial because they received cancer treatment as a child at St. Jude. The study comprehensively examines sleep among three distinct diagnostic groups of survivors in the SJLIFE cohort: ALL, CNS tumors, and non-CNS solid tumors. Primary Objective The primary aim of this protocol is to estimate the prevalence of various sleep disorders among long-term survivors of childhood ALL, CNS tumors, and non- CNS solid tumors. Exploratory Objective The exploratory objective of the study is to explore associations between the prevalence of sleep disorders and clinical outcomes collected in SJLIFE.
