A key part of the CP definition is that it is a non-progressive brain injury. However, as people with CP age, their function often deteriorates. This study seeks to determine whether changes in the brain structure may result in function changes, as they do in other types of brain injuries.
The Weinberg Family Cerebral Palsy Center's (WFCPC) research team maintains a cerebral palsy (CP) patient registry of more than 1,000 enrolled patients. This registry contains information collected from children and adults with CP. The goal of the registry is to help us learn more about CP and neuromuscular diseases, to understand the quality of life…
The purpose of this study is to find out if performing Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) scans of your brain with adaptive planning during your radiation treatment of your high-grade glioma will help determine how sensitive the images collected of the brain are at detecting the response of the tumor to the cancer treatment. In this study, four or seven MRI…
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety of Lutathera alone in patients with recurrent glioblastoma and the combination of Lutathera with radiotherapy with temozolomide (TMZ) in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GB) and to establish the appropriate dose of this combination. Lutathera is a radioligand therapy, which is a targeted…
Children and young adults with diffuse midline glioma will be treated with Focused Ultrasound (FUS) with DEFINITY microbubbles and neuro-navigator-controlled sonication. The overall goal of this study is to see if the study treatment plan will improve the outcome of participants with diffuse midline glioma, for which no known cure exists, and determine…
Have you ever received treatment in an ICU, do you have a smartphone (iPhone or Android), and are you at least 18 years old? If you answered yes to the above, you may be eligible for the Messy Memories Study. All study activities are completed from the comfort of home, and participants are asked to: 1. use a smartphone to revisit memories of the ICU, and 2…
The purpose of this study is to find the best dose of a drug called MTX110 and a contrast agent called gadolinium that can be given safely in children with newly diagnosed diffuse midline gliomas, which is a kind of brain tumor. All patients enrolled in the study will receive infusion of MTX110 and Gadolinium delivered with a pump directly into the tumor…
The purpose of this research study is to test whether the advanced perfusion MRI done prior to starting Bevacizumab and a few weeks after starting Bevacizumab can determine your response to the treatment better than the standard MRI performed at typical time points. The researchers want to see if this type of advanced MRI is better or the same as what is…
