NCT ID: NCT06323408 Not yet recruiting - Medulloblastoma Clinical Trials

Integrated Analysis of Therapy Response and Resistence in Embryonal Tumors and Gliomas

BZKF-AYA
Start date: June 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The treatment of adolescents and young adults (AYA, 15 to 39 years) with malignant intra-axial CNS parenchymal tumors such as IDH-mutated gliomas, medulloblastomas and ependymomas is still not curative in all cases. The tumor biology and clinical needs to diagnose and treat these tumors are comparable across all age groups, so an integrated treatment environment overseen by adult and pediatric neuro-oncology specialists seems promising to leverage synergisms and advance diagnostic and therapeutic development in these tumors. A comprehensive, prospective and integrated biomaterial and imaging-based pipeline for the multi-faceted evaluation of AYAs has not yet been established for AYA patients with brain tumors in Germany. Current diagnostic platforms neglect the integrative processing of data from MRI and FET-PET imaging, radiotherapy plans, tumor tissue, liquid biopsies and clinical data as well as prognostic markers. A prospective AYA pipeline can therefore enable a better understanding of the aforementioned high-risk CNS malignancies and promises clinical advances for AYA patients and the clinical and scientific research landscape.

Rare Embryonal Tumors of the Central Nervous System: International Registry

Start date: February 1, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Central nervous system (CNS) tumors are the most common solid malignancies among children. Although some types of CNS tumors like medulloblastomas and low-grade gliomas are widespread and well-studied, there is a huge number of rare diseases that need further research. This international registry aims to establish a large multicenter database of pediatric and young adult patients with rare embryonal tumors of the central nervous system and describe the clinical presentations, diagnostics, treatment regimens, and outcomes. Embryonal tumors with multilayered rosettes (ETMR), FOXR2-activated CNS neuroblastoma, cribriform neuroepithelial tumor, and CNS tumor with BCOR internal tandem duplication are extremely rare embryonal tumors some of which were first described in the last edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System. Objectives of the registry are 1) to evaluate prognostic factors, 2) to identify diagnostic and treatment gaps, 3) to investigate the characteristics and outcome of the disease with different treatment regimens, and 4) to generate data-based prospective diagnostic and treatment recommendations.

NCT ID: NCT05298995 Recruiting - High Grade Glioma Clinical Trials

GD2-CAR T Cells for Pediatric Brain Tumours

Start date: November 9, 2023
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and efficacy of iC9-GD2-CAR T-cells, a third generation (4.1BB-CD28) CAR T cell treatment targeting GD2 in paediatric or young adult patients affected by relapsed/refractory malignant central nervous system (CNS) tumors. In order to improve the safety of the approach, the suicide gene inducible Caspase 9 (iC9) has been included.

NCT ID: NCT05293197 Recruiting - Malignant Glioma Clinical Trials

Safety Study of the Repeated Opening of the Blood-brain Barrier With the SonoCloud® Device to Treat Malignant Brain Tumors in Pediatric Patients

SONOKID
Start date: February 6, 2023
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

Purpose : the aim of this study is to assess the feasibility and safety of ultrasound-induced opening of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) with the SonoCloud-9 implantable ultrasound device in pediatric patients treated for a recurrent malignant supra-tentorial brain tumor treated with carboplatin. Study hypothesis : the blood-brain barrier can be transiently and safely opened with pulsed low intensity ultrasound immediately prior to intravenously delivered chemotherapy. The opening of the BBB with the SonoCloud-9 system will increase the tumor exposure to carboplatin and increase progression-free and overall survival in pediatric patients treated for a recurrent malignant supra-tentorial brain tumor.

NCT ID: NCT05278208 Recruiting - Medulloblastoma Clinical Trials

Lutathera for Treatment of Recurrent or Progressive High-Grade CNS Tumors

Start date: November 21, 2022
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Lutathera (177Lu-DOTATATE) in patients with progressive or recurrent High-Grade Central Nervous System (CNS) tumors and meningiomas that demonstrate uptake on DOTATATE PET. The drug will be given intravenously once every 8 weeks for a total of up to 4 doses over 8 months in patients aged 4-12 years (Phase I) or older than 12 yrs (Phase II) to test its safety and efficacy, respectively. Funding Source - FDA OOPD (grant number FD-R-0532-01)

NCT ID: NCT05259605 Recruiting - Glioma Clinical Trials

Observational Study for Assessing Treatment and Outcome of Patients With Primary Brain Tumours Using cIMPACT-NOW and 2021 WHO Classification

Start date: March 28, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Every new classification depends on its prognostic power and on the type of treatment given. With the rapid evolution of diagnostic methods and the advance in new treatments, there is much less reliable information available on how patients with newly defined brain tumour entities should be treated and what to expect from the current treatments. The goal is to determine whether the new 2021 WHO classification, based on cIMPACT-NOW recommendations, results in more homogeneous patient groups than the old 2016 classification. Furthermore, it will help derive provisional guidelines on how patients with these newly defined tumour entities are best treated. These recommendations will be based on the experience of EORTC investigators with chosen treatments and their experience as reported in this data collection report.

NCT ID: NCT04099797 Recruiting - High Grade Glioma Clinical Trials

C7R-GD2.CAR T Cells for Patients With GD2-expressing Brain Tumors (GAIL-B)

Start date: February 3, 2020
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This study is for patients with diffuse midline glioma, high grade glioma, diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, medulloblastoma, or another rare brain cancer that expresses GD2. Because there is no standard treatment at this time, patients are asked to volunteer in a gene transfer research study using special immune cells called T cells. T cells are a type of white blood cell that help the body fight infection. This research study combines two different ways of fighting cancer: antibodies and T cells. Both antibodies and T cells have been used to treat cancer patients. They have shown promise but have not been strong enough to cure most patients. Researchers have found from previous research that they can put a new antibody gene into T cells that will make them recognize cancer cells and kill them. GD2 is a protein found on several different cancers. Researchers testing brain cancer cells found that many of these cancers also have GD2 on their surface. In a study for neuroblastoma in children, a gene called a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) was made from an antibody that recognizes GD2. This gene was put into the patients' own T cells and given back to 11 patients. The cells did grow for a while but started to disappear from the blood after 2 weeks. The researchers think that if T cells are able to last longer they may have a better chance of killing tumor cells. In this study, a new gene will be added to the GD2 T cells that can cause the cells to live longer. T cells need substances called cytokines to survive. The gene C7R has been added that gives the cells a constant supply of cytokine and helps them to survive for a longer period of time. In other studies using T cells researchers found that giving chemotherapy before the T cell infusion can improve the amount of time the T cells stay in the body and therefore the effect the T cells can have. This is called lymphodepletion and it will allow the T cells to expand and stay longer in the body and potentially kill cancer cells more effectively. After treating 11 patients, the largest safe dose of GD2-CAR T cells given in the vein (IV) was determined. Going forward, IV infusions will be combined with infusions directly into the brain through the Ommaya reservoir or programmable VP shunt. The goal is to find the largest safe dose of GD2-C7R T cells that can be administered in this way. The GD2.C7R T cells are an investigational product not approved by the FDA.
