Filter by:Temozolomide provided significant and clinically meaningful benefit in MGMT gene promoter methylation glioblastoma. However, in unmethylated patients, the effect of Temozolomide is limited. The aim of this study is to compare the effect of Etoposide plus Cisplatin and Temozolomide in patients with MGMT gene promoter unmethylation glioblastoma.
The primary goal of this Phase I study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of oncolytic adenovirus mediated double suicide-gene therapy in combination with fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery in patients with recurrent high-grade astrocytoma undergoing resection.
This randomized study is designed to compare the combination of TVI-Brain-1 immunotherapy and standard therapy compared to standard therapy alone as a treatment for newly diagnosed MGMT unmethylated glioblastoma patients. The patients' own cancer cells collected after surgery are combined into a vaccine to produce an immune response that significantly increases the number of cancer neoantigen-specific effector T cell precursors in the patient's body. These cancer neoantigen-specific T cells are harvested from the blood, subsequently stimulated and expanded, and infused back into the patient.
This is an open label study of apixaban for venous thromboembolism prevention in patients with newly diagnosed grade 4 glioma.
The investigators' aim with the BRITER study is to produce a way of predicting who might be more or less likely to suffer side effects from radiotherapy prior to starting treatment for a glioblastoma (GBM), a type of brain tumour. GBM is the commonest primary malignant brain tumour. Treatment options include chemotherapy, radiotherapy or best supportive care. The focus should be on maintaining a good quality of life for as long as possible. Radiotherapy to the brain is an effective treatment, however it can produce side effects. The degree of side effects different patients experience can vary widely. It has been thought that if the patient's underlying normal brain is fragile due to an underlying mild dementia or problems associated with high blood pressure or cholesterol then this might make them more vulnerable to radiotherapy. MRI scans can be used to assess whether there are changes in the normal brain. The BRITER study aims to use MRI scans to see whether the investigators can predict those patients who might be more at risk of side effects from radiotherapy. The trial is aimed at patients aged > 65 who have been newly diagnosed with a GBM and are going to receive radiotherapy. Patients who agree to take part in the trial will have had an MRI scan as part of their normal diagnosis. Participants will undertake some questionnaires before starting their radiotherapy which will aim to assess their quality of life and their mental processes of perception, memory, judgment, and reasoning (called cognitive function). Participants may also need an extra MRI scan. Participants will repeat these questionnaires 4 and 8 weeks after treatment when they come for their follow up appointments. The investigators will compare them to measurements made on the pre-treatment MRI scan. Participation in the study does not change the treatment the patient receives. The investigators hope that the BRITER study will enable them to predict the degree of side effects a patient is likely to experience before embarking on radiotherapy treatment. This will enable more informative, individualised discussions surrounding the best treatment path for older patients with a GBM.
This is a randomised, double blinded and multiple center , Phase 2 study in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. Participants will receive an egg powder enriched for antisecretory factor (AF), Salovum, or a placebo egg powder daily from 2 days before concomitant radio-chemo therapy or chemotherapy until 14 days after finalisation plus during adjuvant chemotherapy.The primary aims of are overall survival at 6 and 12 months after diagnosis
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate a drug called niraparib in patients with glioblastoma that was previously treated but has returned (called recurrent glioblastoma, or rGBM). Through this study, investigators would like to find out the best dose of niraparib to give to treat the disease when given together with radiotherapy (known in this study as reirradiation, or re-RT). Patients receive 10 doses of reirradiation over approximately 2 weeks. At the same time, niraparib capsules are taken orally at home, every day. Niraparib treatment continues until the patient is required to stop either because the treatment stops working or because of side-effects. Participants will come into clinic weekly for blood tests and clinical examinations in the first month of treatment. After this, the assessments will be done monthly. Once the patient has finished niraparib treatment, the patient will enter follow-up and be seen once a year to see if there are any late side-effects from trial treatment, how the disease is doing, and if further treatments have been received for it. This follow-up continues until the end of the trial.
The goal of this 1:1 randomized, multi-center, open-label phase Ib/II clinical trial is to explore the efficacy of the add-on of the anti-glutamatergic drugs gabapentin, sulfasalazine and memantine to standard chemoradiotherapy with temozolomide compared to chemoradiotherapy alone in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma.
This multicenter, Phase 1b/2 study is being conducted to determine if the experimental cell therapy is safe, tolerable and can delay the return of cancer in patients with a newly diagnosed or recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) in combination with standard chemotherapy treatment temozolomide (TMZ). If there is a 25% or greater improvement in survival in this study then the therapy should be studied further.
This study aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT) combined with postoperative early use of temozolomide in treating recurrent glioblastomas.
