Filter by:This phase I/II trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of selinexor given in combination with standard radiation therapy in treating children and young adults with newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) or high-grade glioma (HGG) with a genetic change called H3 K27M mutation. It also tests whether combination of selinexor and standard radiation therapy works to shrink tumors in this patient population. Glioma is a type of cancer that occurs in the brain or spine. Glioma is considered high risk (or high-grade) when it is growing and spreading quickly. The term, risk, refers to the chance of the cancer coming back after treatment. DIPG is a subtype of HGG that grows in the pons (a part of the brainstem that controls functions like breathing, swallowing, speaking, and eye movements). This trial has two parts. The only difference in treatment between the two parts is that some subjects treated in Part 1 may receive a different dose of selinexor than the subjects treated in Part 2. In Part 1 (also called the Dose-Finding Phase), investigators want to determine the dose of selinexor that can be given without causing side effects that are too severe. This dose is called the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). In Part 2 (also called the Efficacy Phase), investigators want to find out how effective the MTD of selinexor is against HGG or DIPG. Selinexor blocks a protein called CRM1, which may help keep cancer cells from growing and may kill them. It is a type of small molecule inhibitor called selective inhibitors of nuclear export (SINE). Radiation therapy uses high energy to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. The combination of selinexor and radiation therapy may be effective in treating patients with newly-diagnosed DIPG and H3 K27M-Mutant HGG.
This is a Phase 1 open label, first in human study of C5252 monotherapy designed to determine the safety and tolerability of a single intratumoral (IT) injection of C5252 in patients with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma (GBM).
This phase III trial compares the effect of adding lomustine to temozolomide and radiation therapy versus temozolomide and radiation therapy alone in shrinking or stabilizing newly diagnosed MGMT methylated glioblastoma. Chemotherapy drugs, such as lomustine and temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high energy photons to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Adding lomustine to usual treatment of temozolomide and radiation therapy may help shrink and stabilize glioblastoma.
This early phase I trial identifies the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of natural progesterone in treating patients with glioblastoma that has come back (recurrent). Progesterone is a type of hormone made by the body that plays a role in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. Progesterone may help control tumor growth and spread in patients with glioblastoma.
This research study is for Glioblastoma (GBM) patients who will be beginning Optune as part of their clinical care, which is a novel treatment that utilizes - tumor treating fields (TTFields), (aka, electrical therapy), which has shown to improve overall survival in large multi-center trials. As a part of this study, participants will either receive Optune with "standard array mapping" (based on regular contrast enhanced MRI) or an "alternative (more precise) array mapping" based on sophisticated state of the art MRI techniques including "whole brain spectroscopy". Whole brain MRI spectroscopy provides additional metabolic information to map out the full extent of tumor spreading within the brain (far beyond from what is seen on regular MRI), by identifying certain metabolites that are present in cancer cells versus healthy tissue. This study is being performed to show whether alternative array mapping improves treatment outcomes, as opposed to the standard array mapping, by maximizing delivery of TTFields dose, thereby achieving more effective tumor cell killing, decreasing the rate of local recurrence, and improving the overall survival as well as quality of life measures.
This Phase I (Cohort I and Cohort II) and Phase II trial is designed to confirm the safety and tolerability of Pembrolizumab when given in conjunction with M032, an Oncolytic Herpes Simplex Virus (oHSV) that expresses IL-12 and perform the Phase II portion using a Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of M032 (provided by the Phase I) when given in conjunction with Pembrolizumab for recurrent malignant glioma (glioblastoma multiforme, anaplastic astrocytoma, or glio-sarcoma).
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and survival of carmustine wafers and radiation and retifanlimab with or without temozolomide (TMZ) in newly-diagnosed adult subjects with glioblastoma multiform after carmustine wafer placement.
This is an open-label, multi-center Phase 0 study with an expansion phase that will enroll up to 24 participants with newly-diagnosed glioblastoma and up to 18 recurrent glioma participants with IDH mutation and ATRX loss. The trial will be composed of a Phase 0 component (subdivided into Arm A and B) and a therapeutic expansion phase. Patients with tumors demonstrating a positive PK Response (in Arm A) or a positive PD Response (in Arm B) of the Phase 0 component of the study will graduate to a therapeutic expansion phase that combines therapeutic dosing of niraparib plus standard-of-care fractionated radiotherapy (in Arm A) or niraparib monotherapy (in Arm B) until progression of disease.
The NeAT Glio trial will evaluate whether the addition of ipilimumab prior to the current standard treatment of surgery and chemoradiotherapy will improve survival in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma.
This phase I trial investigates the efficacy and safety of brain-targeting epidermal growth factor receptor chimeric antigen receptor immune cells (EGFRvIII-CAR T cells) in treating patients with leptomeningeal disease from glioblastoma. T cells are part of the immune system and help the body fight malignant tumours. Immune cells can be genetically modified to destroy brain tumor cells in the laboratory. EGFRvIII -CAR T cells are brain tumor specific and can enter and express its genes in immune cells. Administering patients EGFRvIII -CAR T cells may help to recognize and destroy brain tumor cells in patients with leptomeningeal disease from glioblastoma.
