										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and feasibility of using a specific procedure to help improve the effectiveness of medication for patients with <b>Diffuse Midline Glioma, H3K27-altered</b>. This is a rare type of brain tumor located in the brainstem, which is the part of the brain that connects to the spinal cord. The research focuses on how a method called <b>focused ultrasound-mediated blood-brain barrier opening</b> can assist the delivery of <b>temozolomide</b>, an oral medication used to treat these tumors. The <b>blood-brain barrier</b> is a natural protective layer that prevents many substances from entering the brain, and this procedure aims to temporarily open that barrier to allow the medicine to reach the tumor more effectively.</p>
<p>During the study, participants may undergo the <b>Exablate-BBBO</b> procedure, which uses ultrasound waves to create openings in the protective barrier of the brain. Following this, the medication <b>temozolomide</b> is administered. The study will monitor how well the procedure works and check for any side effects. Effectiveness is also observed through <b>MRI</b>, a medical imaging technique used to create detailed pictures of the inside of the body, to see how the tumor responds to the combined treatment.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is studying a condition called <b>diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma</b>, which is a type of brain tumor that occurs in a specific area of the brainstem called the pons. The study involves a combination of three different treatments. The first treatment is <b>DIPG-DC</b>, which consists of special immune cells called dendritic cells that are prepared from the patient&#8217;s own body. The second treatment is <b>DIPG-lysate</b>, which is material derived from tumor cells that is used to activate the dendritic cells. The third treatment is <b>ARI0008</b>, which consists of the patient&#8217;s own immune cells called T lymphocytes that have been modified to recognize and attack tumor cells that have a specific target called interleukin-13 receptor alpha 2. The dendritic cells are given as injections under the skin, while the modified T cells are delivered directly into the fluid-filled spaces of the brain through a device called an Ommaya reservoir.</p>
<p>The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of using this combination of treatments for the first time in humans. Before receiving these treatments, patients will have completed standard radiation therapy for their condition. The study will involve collecting some of the patient&#8217;s blood cells through a process called leukapheresis, which are then modified in a laboratory. The dendritic cells will be prepared and given to the patient first through skin injections, and then the modified T cells will be administered into the brain fluid system. Throughout the study, patients will be monitored closely for any side effects or complications that may occur.</p>
<p>The study will also look at how well patients tolerate the full treatment regimen and whether they are able to receive all planned doses of both the dendritic cells and the modified T cells. Doctors will track how the immune system responds to the treatment by examining blood and spinal fluid samples at different time points. They will also monitor the tumor using imaging scans and assess how patients are functioning in their daily lives. The study will follow patients to see how long they survive and how long they live without their disease getting worse, comparing these results to information from other patients who received standard treatment.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This study examines the use of <b>ONC206</b> in children and young adults with brain tumors, specifically <b>Diffuse Midline Glioma</b> and other returning cancerous brain tumors. Diffuse Midline Glioma is a type of aggressive brain tumor that grows in the middle structures of the brain, often in areas like the brainstem or thalamus, and has a specific genetic change called <b>H3K27 alteration</b>. The study also includes other types of returning cancerous tumors of the brain and spinal cord. ONC206 is a medication given by mouth that works by affecting certain parts of cells called mitochondria and by blocking specific receptors in the body. The medication comes as a powder that is mixed into a liquid solution for drinking.</p>
<p>The purpose of this study is to find the right dose of ONC206 that can be given safely to patients and to check whether the medication reaches the tumor tissue in the brain. The study is divided into different groups based on the type of tumor and previous treatments. Some patients will receive ONC206 alone, while others will receive it together with radiation therapy, which is a treatment that uses high-energy rays to target cancer cells. Some participants will receive ONC206 with a second course of radiation therapy if their tumor has grown back. There is also a part of the study that will measure how much of the medication gets into the tumor tissue by comparing it to the levels found in the blood before surgery.</p>
<p>During the study, patients will take ONC206 regularly and will have blood tests to check how the body processes the medication and to monitor for any side effects. Patients will also have imaging scans to see how the tumor responds to treatment. Some participants will need to provide tumor tissue samples that were collected during their standard medical care so researchers can study how the medication works in the tumor. The study will continue to monitor patients over time to gather information about safety and how well the treatment works.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial focuses on a rare and aggressive brain tumor called <i>Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG)</i>, which primarily affects children. The study aims to find the best treatment for children aged 3 to 18 years by using drugs that target specific molecular markers found in the tumor. The medications being tested in this study are <i>Sirolimus</i> and <i>Trametinib</i>. Sirolimus is available as an oral solution and coated tablets, while Trametinib is provided as film-coated tablets. These drugs are chosen based on the unique molecular profile of each child&#8217;s tumor.</p>
<p>The purpose of the study is to develop an optimal treatment plan for children with DIPG by identifying important molecular markers and adjusting the type of medication accordingly. The study will assess the safety and effectiveness of Sirolimus and Trametinib in treating DIPG. Participants will receive these medications either alone or in combination, depending on their specific tumor characteristics. The study will monitor the overall survival of participants from the time of diagnosis and evaluate the safety of Sirolimus when used during radiotherapy and in combination with Trametinib after irradiation.</p>
<p>Throughout the study, the progression of the disease will be closely monitored, and the response to treatment will be assessed using <i>MRI</i> scans every two months. Additionally, the quality of life of participants will be evaluated using a pediatric quality of life inventory. The study will also compare the safety of treatment with Sirolimus alone versus in combination with Trametinib. The estimated end date for the study is June 2026.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on two types of brain tumors that occur in children: <i>Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG)</i> and <i>High-Grade Glioma (HGG)</i>. These are serious conditions that affect the brain and can be challenging to treat. The study is testing a new treatment called <i>WT1 LAMP mRNA DC</i>, which is a type of cell therapy. This treatment involves using special cells called dendritic cells, which are modified to help the immune system recognize and fight the tumor cells. The treatment is given as a suspension for injection, which means it is injected into the skin.</p>
<p>The purpose of the study is to see if this new treatment can be safely produced and given to children with these brain tumors, either alongside their regular treatment or after they have completed other therapies. The study will also look at how safe the treatment is for the patients. During the study, participants will receive the treatment through a series of injections over a period of time. Some participants may receive a placebo, which is a substance with no active medication, to compare the effects of the new treatment.</p>
<p>Throughout the study, researchers will monitor the patients to see how they respond to the treatment and to check for any side effects. The study aims to understand how the treatment affects the patients&#8217; overall health and quality of life. This research is important for finding new ways to help children with these difficult-to-treat brain tumors.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on studying a type of brain tumor called <i>Diffuse Midline Gliomas (DMGs)</i>, which includes a specific form known as <i>Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Gliomas (DIPGs)</i>. These tumors are challenging to treat and primarily affect children and young adults. The study is testing a combination of treatments to see if they can help manage these tumors more effectively. The treatments being tested include a medication called <i>ONC201</i>, also known by its chemical name <i>Dordaviprone</i>, and another medication called <i>Paxalisib</i>. ONC201 is a small molecule that works by blocking certain receptors in the brain, while Paxalisib is designed to inhibit specific enzymes that are involved in tumor growth.</p>
<p>The purpose of this study is to evaluate how well these combination therapies work in patients with DMGs. The study will be conducted in different phases, where participants will receive the combination of ONC201 and Paxalisib at various stages of their treatment journey. This includes those who are newly diagnosed, those who have completed radiation therapy, and those whose tumors have returned. The study aims to see if these treatments can help patients live longer without their disease getting worse.</p>
<p>Participants in the study will take the medications in capsule form, which means they will swallow them. The study will monitor the participants over time to assess the effectiveness of the treatment. The goal is to determine if the combination of ONC201 and Paxalisib can improve the outcomes for patients with these challenging brain tumors. The study is expected to continue until early 2026, with the hope of finding a more effective treatment option for those affected by DMGs and DIPGs.</p>
