This clinical trial will recruit patients diagnosed with glioblastoma at the time of recurrence or progression following prior treatment with surgery, radiation therapy and alkylating chemotherapy. Patients will be screened and if found eligible will be randomized to one of two treatment arms (1:1 randomization). Patients randomized to the Axitinib treatment-arm will be treated with Axitinib until progression (they can be treated after progression in the Axitinib plus lomustine arm), unacceptable treatment related toxicity, or patients refusal to continue study treatment. Patients randomized to the Axitinib plus Lomustine-arm will receive treatment until progression, unacceptable treatment related toxicity, or patients refusal to continue study treatment.
The main purpose of this clinical trial is to find out if cilengitide has an effect on brain tumor cells but also particularly on the blood vessels supplying the tumor with nutrient and oxygen in patients newly diagnosed with non-resectable (inoperable) glioblastoma. In addition, this clinical trial will investigate if the addition of cilengitide in combination with standard treatment prolongs life in patients with non-resectable glioblastoma. Similarly, the duration of response of the cancer to this treatment and the side effects of the therapy will be analyzed. Furthermore, additional data on how the body deals with this substance will be collected (this is called pharmacokinetics or pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis). In this clinical trial the investigators would also like to learn more about the disease and the response to the experimental medication by measuring certain "markers". This imaging trial will investigate the biological effects of cilengitide monotherapy on the tumor microvascular function and tumor viability in a homogenous non-pretreated subject population with newly diagnosed Gliobastoma (GBM). The purpose of this clinical trial is to study the effect that cilengitide may have on certain markers of cancer in your tumor and/or blood and to learn if there are any disease-related markers that could help in predicting how subjects respond to the administration of cilengitide. The investigators anticipate that approximately 30 subjects will participate in this clinical trial. The clinical trial will be conducted in approximately 4 medical centers in the following countries: Germany, Poland, and Switzerland. The investigators anticipate the clinical trial will last until the end of 2013. Your participation in the trial may last up to 86 weeks.
This study aims to assess the effect of Avastin on brain vascularity and blood-brain permeability using dynamic contrast ct scans (DECT) and MRI imaging. Previous publications have documented the method by which DECT can determine alterations in vascular volume and tissue permeability within tumors and normal brain tissue. Functional maps of cerebral blood flow cerebral blood volume and permeability-surface area can be generated from the DECT studies to assess tumor perfusion. MRI spectroscopy analyzes brain chemistry to detect tumour versus edema versus normal brain. Thirty patients will receive MRI spectroscopy and DECT imaging at the time of presumed recurrence and 3 months later. 15 patients who do not receive Avastin and 15 patients who do receive Avastin as standard treatment for recurrence will be studied with DECT and MRI spectroscopy at baseline and then again in 3 months.
This open-label, multicenter, Phase I, dose-escalating study will evaluate the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and efficacy of GDC-0084 in patients with progressive or recurrent high-grade glioma. Stage 1 is the dose escalation part of the study. Stage 2, patients will receive GDC-0084 at a recommended dose for future studies.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate diagnostic imaging techniques using 124I-NM404 PET/CT in human brain tumors. This goal will be accomplished by quantifying tumor uptake and determining the optimal PET/CT protocol, comparing PET tumor uptake to MRI, and calculating tumor dosimetry. The long-term goals of this research are to improve the diagnosis and treatment of malignant brain tumors by using radioiodinated NM404
This study will look at the effects, good and/or bad, of treating primary brain cancers with diet therapy using an energy restricted ketogenic diet (ERKD) that uses food. An energy restricted ketogenic diet is a diet designed to keep blood sugars in the low range of normal while at the same time increasing the blood concentration of metabolic break down products called ketones. This diet is currently used to treat children with uncontrollable seizures. This diet is well tolerated by the children with minimal side effects reported after using the diet for years. - The main purpose of this study is to find out whether or not the energy restricted ketogenic diet will help patients with primary brain cancer by either decreasing the size of the cancer or by keeping the cancer from growing. - Another reason for doing this study is to learn about the side effects associated with the energy restricted ketogenic diet in patients with primary brain cancer.
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.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best schedule of vaccine therapy with or without sirolimus in treating patients with cancer-testis antigen (NY-ESO-1) expressing solid tumors. Biological therapies, such as sirolimus, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Vaccines made from a person's white blood cells mixed with tumor proteins may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells that express NY-ESO-1. Infusing the vaccine directly into a lymph node may cause a stronger immune response and kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether vaccine therapy works better when given with or without sirolimus in treating solid tumors.
This multicenter, 2-stage, open-label, phase II trial aims to assess the efficacy and safety of dacomitinib in adult patients with recurrent Glioblastoma (GBM) with EGFR gene amplification and/or EGFRvIII mutation.
