Filter by:Primary objective- To determine efficacy of Avastin, 10 mg/kg every other week, in combination with standard 5-day temozolomide in terms of response rate. Secondary objective- To determine safety of Avastin & Temozolomide in unresectable glioblastoma patients
Primary Objectives To determine maxi tolerated dose & dose limiting toxicity of SU011248 + Irinotecan in recurrent MG pts not on EIAEDs To characterize safety & tolerability of SU011248 + Irinotecan among pts w recurrent MG Secondary Objectives To evaluate pharmacokinetic profile of SU011248 & Irinotecan when co-administered in pts w MG To evaluate anti-tumor activity of SU011248 + Irinotecan
Primary Objective To estimate 6-month progression free survival probability of patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme treated with bortezomib plus Avastin. This efficacy assessment will be made separately among patients on enzyme-inducing anti-epileptic drugs and non enzyme-inducing anti-epileptic drugs. Secondary Objectives To evaluate safety & tolerability of bortezomib plus Avastin among patients with recurrent malignant glioma. To evaluate radiographic response, progression free survival & overall survival of patients with recurrent malignant glioma treated with bortezomib plus Avastin
Objectives: - To determine the maximum tolerated dose of oral topotecan when administered with Temodar to patients with malignant glioma - To characterize any toxicity associated with the combination oral topotecan and Temodar. - To observe patients for clinical antitumor response when treated with oral topotecan and Temodar.
Primary: To determine maximum tolerated dose & dose limiting toxicity of dasatinib when combined w erlotinib among pts w recurrent MG Secondary: To further evaluate safety & tolerability of dasatinib + erlotinib To evaluate pharmacokinetics of dasatinib when administered w erlotinib among recurrent MG pts who are on & not on CYP-3A enzyme inducing anti-epileptic drugs To evaluate for anti-tumor activity with this regimen in this patient population
We are asked patients to take part in this study because they had recurrent (returned) (1st or 2nd) anaplastic astrocytoma (AA) or glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). The purposes of this study are: - To see if Sutent has any change on the patient and their cancer. - To see if Sutent will slow or stop the growth of their tumor. - To measure the safety of Sutent. Sutent is Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved to treat patients with a gastrointestinal stromal tumor after the disease worsened while taking another medicine called imatinib mesylate or when imatinib mesylate cannot be taken. Sutent is also FDA approved to treat patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma. At this time, it is not known whether Sutent will improve symptoms, or help patients with this disease live longer.
PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES: Primary Objective To evaluate the activity of Sorafenib plus protracted, daily temozolomide in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) as measured by 6-month PFS. Secondary Objectives To evaluate the safety and toxicity of combination therapy using Sorafenib plus temozolomide; To determine the pharmacokinetics of Sorafenib when combined with temozolomide in patients on and not on concurrent EIAC medications.
Primary objective: To use overall survival to assess the efficacy of the combination of radiation therapy, temozolomide and Avastin followed by Avastin, temozolomide, and irinotecan in the treatment of grade IV malignant glioma patients following surgical resection. Secondary objective: To determine the progression-free survival following the combination of radiation therapy, temozolomide and Avastin followed by Avastin, temozolomide, and irinotecan. Exploratory Objective: To explore the relationship between biomarkers and outcome (overall survival and progression-free survival) among patients with grade IV malignant glioma treated with radiation therapy, temozolomide and Avastin followed by Avastin, temozolomide, and irinotecan. To describe the toxicity of radiation therapy,temozolomide and Avastin followed by Avastin, temozolomide, and irinotecan.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and biologically active dose of TM-601 in adult patients with recurrent malignant glioma.
This study is being conducted to help determine whether the addition of Avastin (an anti-cancer drug), when given along with temozolomide during the monthly cycles that follow radiation, is able to delay tumor growth, shrink tumors, or impact how long people with GBM live. This study is sponsored by Genentech, Inc., the manufacturer of Avastin. Avastin is the experimental drug being administered in this research study. Avastin binds a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor, or VEGF. VEGF is produced by tumors and circulates in the blood. One of VEGF's main roles is to support the growth of new blood vessels. During cancer, VEGF promotes the growth of blood vessels that bring nutrients to tumor cells and help them grow. Avastin binds to VEGF, which then prevents VEGF from functioning. In laboratory studies, Avastin prevented the growth of several different types of cancer cells grown in animals. Avastin was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer in combination with chemotherapy. Avastin has not been approved by the FDA for the treatment of GBM and is, therefore, considered experimental. Avastin is currently undergoing testing (alone and in combination with another anti-cancer drug, irinotecan) in persons with GBM that have come back after conventional treatment. Temozolomide (Temodar) is an anti-cancer drug that works by interfering with the growth of cells (including cancer cells) by stopping their division. Temozolomide was approved by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of newly diagnosed GBM in 2005. Avastin and temozolomide are currently being used together in several research studies involving people with newly diagnosed GBM. Limited information is available about either the safety or effectiveness of this drug combination.
