Filter by:This is an open-label, multi-center, sequential groups, dose-escalation study of CBL0137 administered intravenously in participants with metastatic or unresectable advanced solid malignancies.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of STAT3 inhibitor WP1066 in treating patients with malignant glioma that has come back or melanoma that has spread to the brain and is growing, spreading, or getting worse. STAT3 inhibitor WP1066 may stop the growth of tumor cells and modulate the immune system.
This phase II clinical trial studies how well ERC1671 plus Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) plus Cyclophosphamide with Bevacizumab works compared to Placebo Injection plus Placebo Pill with Bevacizumab in treating patients with recurrent/progressive, bevacizumab naïve glioblastoma multiforme and gliosarcoma (World Health Organization (WHO) grade IV malignant gliomas, GBM).
DC vaccine manufactured and partially matured using our standard operating procedures, developed in collaboration with the HGG Immuno Group, then administered through imiquimod treated skin will be safe and feasible in children with refractory brain tumors. This will result in anti-tumor immunity that will prolong survival of subjects treated and results will be consistent with the outcomes found for subjects treated by HGG Immuno Group investigators. Study treatment will correlate with laboratory evidence of immune activation. Correlative studies will also reveal targets in the immune system which can be exploited to improve response for patients on successor trials.
The primary objective of this trial is to determine the optimal dose and imaging time point(s) of I-124-CLR1404 in subjects with newly diagnosed and recurrent glioma to be used in future trials.
NovoTTF-100A is a device and Bevacizumab is a study drug that have both been approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) for use as monotherapy in treating glioblastoma multiforme. The NovoTTF-l00A is a portable battery operated device which produces TTFields within the human body using surface electrodes (transducer arrays). Intermediate frequency electric fields (TTFields) stunt the growth of tumor cells. The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of the combination of Bevacizumab and NovoTTF-100A in Bevacizumab naive (meaning have never received bevacizumab before) patients with recurrent glioblastoma (GBM) as measured by 6-month progression free survival.
Central nervous system (CNS) malignancies are the second most common malignancy and the most common solid tumor of childhood, including adolescence. Annually in the United States, approximately 2,200 children are diagnosed with CNS malignancy and rates appear to be increasing. CNS tumors are the leading cause of death from solid tumors in children. Survival duration after diagnosis in children is highly variable depending in part on age at diagnosis, location of tumor, and extent of resection; however, most children with high grade glioma die within 3 years of diagnosis. All patients with high grade glioma experience a recurrence after first-line therapy, so improvements in both first-line and salvage therapy are critical to enhancing quality-of-life and prolonging survival. It is unknown if currently used intravenous (IV) therapies even cross the blood brain barrier (BBB). We have shown in previous phase I trials that a single Superselective Intra-arterial Cerebral Infusion (SIACI) of Cetuximab and/or Bevacizumab is safe for the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) in adults, and we are currently evaluating the efficacy of this treatment. Therefore, this phase I/II clinical research trial is an extension of that trial in that we seek to test the hypothesis that intra-arterial Cetuximab and Bevacizumab is safe and effective in the treatment of relapsed/refractory glioma in patients <22 years of age. We expect that this project will provide important information regarding the utility of SIACI Cetuximab and Bevacizumab therapy for malignant glioma in patients <22 years of age and may alter the way these drugs are delivered to our patients in the near future.
Glioblastoma is the most common primary malignant neoplasm of the adult brain. Even after multimodal therapy, outcomes remain poor, with a median survival of one year. Although advanced imaging methods have been suggested as molecular markers of prognosis and therapeutic response, these methods have not been validated for clinical use. In this exploratory, imaging-based, trial, thirty patients with a pathological diagnosis of glioblastoma will be followed prospectively for two years. The study examines how PET and MR imaging signals change following administration of a standard radio-chemotherapy treatment regimen to determine whether these imaging modalities can provide early indicators of response to therapeutic intervention. The investigators hypothesize that decreases in uptake of an investigational 18F-FLT PET tracer following treatment with radiation and chemotherapy will be a reliable predictor of glioblastoma response. In a more exploratory fashion, the investigators also will identify changes in diffusion and hypoxia MR imaging that may also correlate well with treatment response.
Local recurrence is a major problem of clinical treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Today a very sensitive imaging method to detect glioblastoma is [11C]MET Positron emission tomography (PET), where in some patients also tumour manifestations can be detected that are not visible in MRI investigations. The aim of the study is to investigate the association of high [11C]MET tracer uptake before postoperative radiochemotherapy and concurrent temozolomide (TMZ) with time to recurrence in patients with glioblastoma multiforme. Also site of recurrence will be correlated with the [11C]MET imaging before and early during radiochemotherapy. All imaging information will be included in treatment planning or treatment decisions. The study provides a basis for later radiation dose escalation trials on the base of [11C]MET imaging.
This is a prospective biomedical study of interventional type which includes 16 patients on 52 months (24 months of inclusion and 28 months of follow up). This pilot study, combining a metabolic imaging approach (Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy = 1HMRSI) and a biological one, will be performed in patients harbouring a Glioblastoma (GBM)to determine whether MRI markers of aggressiveness (CNI2) are associated with specific biological patterns as regards to GBMSC (GBM contains tumor stem cell). In the first part of the study, patients with radiological criteria of GBM amenable to surgical resection will be included ; pre-operative multimodal MRI scans will be done and all data acquired (including H1MRS and DTI data) will be integrated in the image-guided surgical device (ie neuronavigation system) to be used intraoperatively. During tumor resection, tissue samples will be individualized, based on their multimodal imaging characteristics and sent to the radiobiology laboratory INSERM for biological analysis. After surgery, patient will be treated by the standard radio-chemotherapy stupp protocol and will be followed according to standard practices; multimodal MRI will be performed every 2 months during the first year and then every 3 months until progression.
