Investigators aim to perform a prospective study of anti-18F-FACBC PET/CT in patients with NSGCT prior to RPLND, either in the primary setting or in the post-chemotherapy setting. We will correlate histopathologic outcomes from the RPLND specimen and clinical outcomes of recurrence during follow-up to identify the accuracy of anti-18F-FACBC PET/CT ...

This is a standard of care treatment guideline for high risk or relapsed solid tumors or CNS tumors consisting of a busulfan, melphalan, thiotepa conditioning (for solid tumors) or carboplatin and thiotepa conditioning (for CNS tumors) followed by an autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant. For solid tumors, if appropriate, ...

To provide the IRB approved mechanism for the prospective collection, analysis and reporting of data on patients who are undergoing either an autologous or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant for a disease in which a research question is not being addressed and for which peer reviewed, published data have demonstrated ...

Participants will be randomized to take part in one of two groups: The Memantine Group will be prescribed memantine at a dosage following FDA-approved adult labeling. A low dose will initially be given beginning at least two weeks ( 7 days) prior to beginning radiation therapy. The dose will increase ...

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine if the addition of metformin to standard adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus extended metformin (metformin hydrochloride) beyond standard chemotherapy increases progression free survival when compared to 6 cycles of standard chemotherapy alone in non-diabetic subjects with stage III (with any gross residual disease) or stage ...

Patients will be stratified by the molecular and histologic characteristics of their tumor to one of three treatment strata. STRATUM A: Combination Treatment: ribociclib and gemcitabine. Patient Population: Participants with a diagnosis of refractory or recurrent medulloblastoma (Group 3/4) or refractory or recurrent ependymoma (including: ependymoma, not otherwise specified (NOS), ...

Magnetic Resonance (MR)-guided high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is an innovative technique that allows for non-invasive thermal ablation of tissue. Advantages over conventional local tumor control such as surgery, radiation, or radiofrequency are that MR-HIFU is completely non-invasive, non-ionizing, and enables ablation of large tumor volumes with avoidance of adjacent ...

This is phase 1 trial of LTLD with MR-HIFU induced heating in children and young adults with relapsed/refractory solid tumors. Part A of the trial will be a traditional dose escalation study to determine the pediatric MTD/RP2D of LTLD combined with MR-HIFU ablation which allows for release of doxorubicin in ...

Primary Objective To determine the anti-tumor efficacy of brentuximab vedotin in relapsed/ refractory NSGCT. Secondary Objectives To determine the progression free survival in patients with relapsed/ refractory NSGCT treated with brentuximab vedotin. To determine the overall survival of patients with relapsed/ refractory NSGCT treated with brentuximab vedotin. To determine the ...
