Filter by:This is a phase 1b study for safety and tolerability of bevacizumab(Avastin)administered into the tumor resection cavity in subjects with Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) at first recurrence.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the addition of an investigational medication, axitinib, to radiation therapy will improve the outcome of treatment in patients, above the age of 70.
The long term goal of this research is to establish whether NPC sparing RT techniques improve neurocognitive outcomes compared to conventional RT for brain tumors. If the proposed study demonstrates that NPC sparing RT is not associated with increased LR in the spared regions of the brain compared to conventional RT, it will ideally serve as the foundation for a future multi-institutional randomized controlled trial comparing neurocognitive outcomes in patients treated with NPC-sparing RT versus conventional radiation therapy.
The purpose of this Phase 1/2, open-label, single-arm study is to determine the safety and the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of VAL-083 in patients with recurrent malignant glioma. Pharmacokinetic (PK) properties will be explored and tumor responses to treatment will be evaluated.
This is an open-label, sequential dose exploration study of single agent AMG 595 administered in subjects with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and/or anaplastic astrocytomas (AA). The purpose of the study is to evaluate safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of AMG 595, and also to evaluate the objective response rate in subjects receiving AMG 595. This study will be conducted in two parts. Part 1 will explore doses of AMG 595 in subjects with recurrent GBM and/or AA. Part 2 (dose expansion) will examine the MTD established in Part 1 in subjects with recurrent GBM.
This randomized, non-comparative study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Avastin (bevacizumab) in patients with recurrent glioblastoma. Patients will be randomized to receive Avastin 10 mg/kg intravenously every 2 weeks or fotemustine 75 mg/m2 on days 1, 8 and 15, followed by, after a 5 weeks interval, 100 mg/m2 intravenously every 3 weeks. Treatment with fotemustine serves as a calibration arm and no formal efficacy comparison will be made between the two treatment arms. The anticipated time of study treatment is until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
This is a multicenter study evaluating the safety and tolerability of increasing doses of Toca 511, a retroviral replicating vector, injected into the resection cavity of patients with Grade III or Grade IV Gliomas who have elected to undergo surgical removal of their tumor. Approximately 6 weeks after injection of Toca 511, patients will begin an oral courses of Toca FC, an antifungal agent. These one week courses of Toca FC will be repeated during the approximately 30 week study. Two separate cohorts of patients treated with Toca 511 and Toca FC will also be evaluated with either of the following standard treatments for glioma: lomustine or bevacizumab. After completion of this study, all patients will be eligible for enrollment and encouraged to enter a long-term continuation protocol that enables additional Toca FC treatment cycles to be given, as well as permits the collection of long-term safety and survival data.
Background: - AZD7451 is a drug that may help interfere with brain tumor cell growth. It can prevent glioma cells from entering into normal brain tissue, and slow or stop the growth of additional tumors. Researchers want to see if AZD7451 is effective against gliomas that have not responded to surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy. Objectives: - To see if AZD7451 is a safe and effective treatment for gliomas that have not responded to standard treatments. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have gliomas that have not responded to standard treatments. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam, medical history, blood and urine tests, heart function tests, an eye exam, and imaging studies. - Participants will take AZD7451 daily by mouth for 28-day cycles of treatment. - Participants will keep a medication diary and record any side effects. Treatment will be monitored with frequent blood tests and imaging studies. - Treatment will continue as long as there are no serious side effects and the tumor does not start growing again....
This is a multi-centre prospective, non-inferiority trial. Patients will be randomized to two treatment groups in a 1:1 ratio and will be stratified by age, Karnofsky Performance Status and extent of the surgical resection. This study will assess the effect of a one-week radiotherapy regimen in comparison with a three-week radiotherapy regimen on the survival of elderly and/or frail patients with glioblastoma multiforme (Frail: ≥>50 years old and with a KPS of 50% or less50%-70%; Elderly and frail: ≥65 years and with a KPS of 50% - 70%; Elderly: ≥65 years and with a KPS of 80% - 100%).
This is a single-center (Emory University), open-label, single arm, phase I study to assess safety and toxicity of bortezomib in combination with bevacizumab and escalating doses of temozolomide for patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme. Patients requiring anti-epileptic medications will have to be at least 10 days off EIAEDs. Only non-EIAEDs are accepted.
