Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is To investigate the safety and efficacy of Tumor-Treating Fields (TTFields) in combined with temozolomide (TMZ) and tislelizumab in the treatment of newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM).
The goal of this study is to determine the response of the study drug loratinib in treating children who are newly diagnosed high-grade glioma with a fusion in ALK or ROS1. It will also evaluate the safety of lorlatinib when given with chemotherapy or after radiation therapy.
This will be a prospective, open-label, single-arm pilot study to investigate the safety and efficacy of Bevacizumab (BEV) in combination with microbubble (MB)-mediated FUS in patients with recurrent GBM. BEV represents the physician's best choice for the standard of care (SoC) in rGBM after previous treatment with surgery (if appropriate), standard radiotherapy with temozolomide chemotherapy, and with adjuvant temozolomide.
As a part of molecular imaging, many PET tracers have been investigated in this regard. Those include 18F-FDG being glucose analogue, 18F-FLT representing nucleoside metabolism, and 18F-FDOPA, 18F-FET, 11C-MET as amino acids analogues. Among these, 18F-FDG is the most commonly used tracer due to its broader use and easy availability. However, high physiological uptake in the brain is a significant limitation. The main limitation of other tracers is the need for onsite cyclotrons for their production, making their availability difficult. So, the search for an ideal modality is still ongoing, and the latest addition to this search is a radio ligand labeled Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA). It is a new but potentially promising radiotracer, currently showing its utility in different malignancies. Investigators, therefore, aim to identify whether Ga-68 PSMA PET-CT has better diagnostic accuracy in the detection of recurrent gliomas than conventional imaging modalities.
The study of investigators indicated that TMZ can up-regulate dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) expression, and mediates Ferroptosis inhibition and chemoresistance of GBM. The clinical data also proved that the DRD2 expression in recurrent GBM is significantly higher than that in primary GBM. Moreover, the DRD2 antagonist haloperidol can attenuate the above function of DRD2, and increase the sensitivity of GBM to the TMZ by inducing fatal autophagy and ferroptosis. In xenograft mice, the combined usage of haloperidol and Temozolomide (TMZ) can significantly inhibit tumor growth and increase overall survival. The investigators' findings have been published in Clinical cancer research. Haloperidol known as a butylbenzene antipsychotic drug, has been widely used in several kinds of mental illnesses, such as depression, schizophrenia, and Bipolar disorder. And the safe dosage of the haloperidol is clear so far. So in this study, the investigators will recruit the patients who suffered from recurrent GBM, and evaluate the effectiveness of single TMZ chemotherapy or combined with haloperidol.
Clinical research can sometimes favor certain demographic groups. Additionally, there is limited research that delves into the factors that influence participation in clinical study, both positive and negative. The goal is to identify the obstacles and challenges that prevent participation in glioblastoma multiforme clinical study, as well as the reasons for withdrawal or discontinuation. Insights gained from this study will ultimately benefit those with glioblastoma multiforme who may be invited to participate in clinical trial in the years to come.
In this study the investigators will select and develop potential therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for glioblastoma (GB). Activities include tissue microarray (TMA) to test monoclonal antibodies specificity and target distribution, selection of glioblastoma specific functional monoclonal antibodies, identification of candidate targets.
The goal of this study is to determine the efficacy of the study drugs ribociclib and everolimus to treat pediatric and young adult patients newly diagnosed with a high-grade glioma (HGG), including DIPG, that have genetic changes in pathways (cell cycle, PI3K/mTOR) that these drugs target. The main question the study aims to answer is whether the combination of ribociclib and everolimus can prolong the life of patients diagnosed with HGG, including DIPG.
The goal of this study is to perform genetic sequencing on brain tumors from children, adolescents, and young adult patients who have been newly diagnosed with a high-grade glioma. This molecular profiling will decide if patients are eligible to participate in a subsequent treatment-based clinical trial based on the genetic alterations identified in their tumor.
To collect and preserve glioblastoma tissue during standard of care tumor resection surgery and blood for future molecular and genetic testing. Tissue for research will be collected from three different regions within the same tumor to study how these regions differ in their structure, DNA, and RNA and also to compare the data obtained from this testing to imaging data found in the medical record. The goal of this study is to help us better understand what the glioblastoma tumor tissue looks like and how it functions. This understanding can lead to new therapies for the treatment of glioblastoma in the future.
