Filter by:RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide and irinotecan, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining radiation therapy with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well radiation therapy, temozolomide, and irinotecan work in treating patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme.
This phase I/II trial studies lapatinib to see how well it works in treating young patients with recurrent or refractory central nervous system (CNS) tumors. Lapatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth.
This study will investigate clinical activity, safety, and tolerability of the anti-angiogenic compound cilengitide (EMD 121974) in the treatment of first recurrence of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of sorafenib in treating patients with recurrent or progressive malignant glioma. Sorafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by stopping blood flow to the tumor and by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth.
This Phase 1 study in patients with newly diagnosed malignant glioma is designed to determine the highest dose of IL13-PE38QQR that can be safely administered by Convection Enhanced Delivery (CED) to the area around the tumor site after the tumor is surgically removed (resection). In addition, the patient will receive radiation therapy and may or may not be treated with oral temozolomide.
Study Objectives: Primary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of intratumoral/interstitial therapy with TransMID compared to best standard of care in patients with progressive and/or recurrent, non-resectable glioblastoma multiforme. Secondary Objectives: To assess the safety of intratumoral/interstitial therapy with TransMID compared to best standard of care in patients with progressive and/or recurrent, non-resectable glioblastoma multiforme. To evaluate possible differences in efficacy and/or safety with TransMID associated with differing degrees of transferrin receptor expression in tumor tissue and serum anti-diphtheria toxin antibody titer levels. Study Design: Multicenter, open label, randomized study comparing TransMID with a chemotherapeutic regimen considered to be best standard of care and consisting of either nitrosureas, platinum compounds, temozolomide, procarbazine or PCV (procarbazine, lomustine (CCNU) & vincristine). A planned interim analysis of the primary efficacy endpoint will be conducted after approximately 50 percent of the required events have been observed.
A Phase I, open-label, non-randomized, sequential dose escalation cohort trial of the safety, tolerability, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of AP23573 when administered intravenously as a 30-minute infusion, once daily for five days, repeated every two weeks, to patients with progressive or recurrent malignant glioma.
RATIONALE: Erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide and carmustine, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known whether erlotinib is more effective than temozolomide or carmustine in treating recurrent glioblastoma multiforme. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying erlotinib to see how well it works compared to temozolomide or carmustine in treating patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme.
RATIONALE: Everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by stopping blood flow to the tumor. Gefitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. Combining everolimus with gefitinib may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of everolimus when given together with gefitinib and to see how well they work in treating patients with progressive glioblastoma multiforme or (progressive metastatic prostate cancer closed to accrual 10/19/06).
This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of FR901228 and to see how well it works in treating patients with recurrent high-grade gliomas. FR901228 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth
