Filter by:Significant activity (radiographic response rates of approximately 60%) has recently been demonstrated in phase II studies in patients with relapsed GBM from the combined use of Irinotecan (CPT-11) and bevacizumab. The 6-month progression-free survival rate is 30% and median survival duration is 9 months. The current first line therapy of GBM patients following initial surgical resection/debulking is the concomitant use of cerebral radiotherapy and the orally available alkylating agent temozolomide, followed by temozolomide for 6 months post-radiotherapy. Considering the significant activity of the combination of Bevacizumab + irinotecan in patients with recurrent GBM, and considering the activity of temozolomide in GBM, it is proposed that the combination of Bevacizumab + Temozolomide may also be an active regimen. Bevacizumab + Temozolomide display non-overlapping toxicity clinically and thus their combined use without significant dose-reductions seems rational. The toxicity from the combined use of the two drugs prior to radiotherapy, as well as the toxicity when administered together with radiotherapy, is evaluated. This study will try to identity whether Bevacizumab and Irinitecan or Bevacizumab and Temozolomide should be the experimental arm in future phase III comparison with standard care with concomitant Temozolomide and radiotherapy.
In this phase II trial the investigators plan to incorporate two targeted agents, bevacizumab and everolimus, into the first-line multimodality therapy of glioblastoma. In the first portion of the treatment, bevacizumab will be added to standard concurrent radiation therapy plus temozolomide. After completing radiation therapy, patients will continue treatment with the combination of bevacizumab and everolimus.
This trial is an investigator initiated, open label phase II study, where patient with recurrent primary GBM will be considered for the study. Only patients with recurrence after Temozolomide and VEGF-directed therapy with Bevacizumab will be considered for the study. Patients will receive temsirolimus 25 mg IV over 30-60 minutes on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 and bevacizumab 10 mg/kg IV over 30-90 minutes on day 8 and 22. Treatment repeats every 28 days for a maximum of 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. A safety analysis will be performed when the first 10 patients have received minimum 4 cycles (8 weeks). The study will then be stopped: If DLT is observed in > 2/10 patients, Occurrence of any serious adverse events not described in the SPC of each agents, If partial remission is not observed in at least 1/10 patients
A Phase II, multi-center, open-label, single-arm study in up to 42 subjects with first recurrence or progression of GBM at up to 12 sites in Australia, Europe, Israel, and the United States. Subjects will receive intratumoral infusion of PRX321 administered via convection-enhanced delivery (CED) at a concentration of 1.5 μg/mL and a total volume of 60 mL over 2 to 7 days. Primary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy (expressed as overall survival at 6 months [OS-6]) of intratumoral infusion of PRX321 in subjects with first recurrence or progression of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Secondary Objectives: To assess the safety of intratumoral infusion with PRX321 in subjects with recurrent or progressive GBM. To evaluate objective response rate (ORR), duration of response (DR), overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS). Tertiary Objective: To evaluate the relationship of observed infusate distribution with clinical and radiological responses.
The purpose of the study is to find out the highest dose per fraction of hypofractionated Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (Hypo-IMRT) that can be safely given with temozolomide chemotherapy.
Rationale: In light of the demonstrated activity of anti-angiogenesis agents in rGBM, it is reasonable to postulate that adding these agents to standard RT and chemotherapy in the up-front management of newly diagnosed GBM may improve the clinical benefit. This study will examine the safety and tolerability of adding CT-322 to the standard radiation therapy/temozolomide (RT/TMZ) backbone of treatment for newly diagnosed GBM
This phase I study evaluated a Gene Mediated Cytotoxic Immunotherapy approach for malignant gliomas, including glioblastoma multiforme and anaplastic astrocytoma. The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and feasibility of delivering an experimental approach called GliAtak which uses AdV-tk, an adenoviral vector containing the Herpes Simplex thymidine kinase gene, plus an oral anti-herpetic prodrug, valacyclovir, in combination with standard of care radiation.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the AutoLITT system for the treatment of recurrent/progressive glioblastoma multiforme tumors (GBM).
The primary objective of the study is to use 24 week survival to assess the efficacy of the combination of Gliadel followed by Avastin and irinotecan in the treatment of grade IV malignant glioma patients following surgical resection. The secondary objectives are to determine the progression-free survival following the combination of Gliadel followed by Avastin and irinotecan and to describe the toxicity of Gliadel followed by Avastin and irinotecan.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of dasatinib when combined with protracted, daily temozolomide (TMZ). Secondary objectives are: To further evaluate the safety and tolerability of dasatinib plus protracted, daily TMZ; 2. To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of dasatinib when administered with protracted, daily TMZ among recurrent malignant glioma patients who are on and not on CYP-3A enzyme inducing anti-epileptic drugs (EIAEDs); 3. To evaluate for anti-tumor activity with this regimen in this patient population.
