Filter by:The subject will be a candidate for this imaging study because they have agreed to participate in a treatment study involving TTFields (Optune device), a device that uses low intensity, wave like electrical fields, and a PARP inhibitor drug (niraparib). The research study is being conducted to test how a new radioactive imaging drug called 18F-Fluorthanatrace (18F-FTT) can be used to image sites of recurrent brain cancer before or after new treatment or surgery. 18F-FTT is a drug used with an imaging test called Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT).
PROPHETIC GBM - Predicting response patterns to treatment in Glioblastoma (GBM) oncology patients based on host response evaluation during anti-cancer treatments
The purpose of the study is to assess timing of TTFields use as well as safety, feasibility and preliminary efficacy of treatment with TTFields in elderly patients with newly diagnosed GBM simultaneous to RT/ CRT. The primary aim of the trial is to establish a safely conducted therapy rate higher than 0.8 in the treatment arm.
Background: Glioblastoma is a type of brain cancer. Treatments include radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery. But survival rates are poor. Researchers think that the drug selinexor, when combined with chemotherapy and radiation, might help. Objective: To learn the highest dose of selinexor that people with brain cancer can tolerate when given with temozolomide and radiation therapy. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with brain cancer that has not been treated with chemotherapy or radiation Design: Participants will be screened under another protocol. Before participants start treatment, they will have tests: Neurological and physical evaluations Blood and urine tests Possible CT scan or MRI of the brain if they have not had one in 3 weeks. Participants will lie in a machine that takes pictures of the body. They may have a dye injected into a vein. Surveys about their well-being Participants will have radiation to the brain for up to 6 weeks. This will usually be given once a day, Monday through Friday. Starting the second day of radiation, participants will take selinexor by mouth once a week. They will take it in weeks 1, 2, 4, and 5. The timing may be changed. Starting the first day of radiation, participants will take temozolomide by mouth once a day until they complete radiation. Participants will have blood tests once per week during treatment. Participants will have a follow-up visit 1 month after they complete treatment. Then they will have visits at least every 2 months for the first 2 years, then at least every 3 months for another year. Visits will include MRIs and blood tests.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells with a chlorotoxin tumor-targeting domain in treating patients with MPP2+ glioblastoma that has come back (recurrent) or that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive). Vaccines made from a gene-modified virus may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells.
Preoperative therapy has not been well studied in resectable glioblastoma. This study attempts to prospectively assess the feasibility and efficacy of preoperative chemo radiation in improving local control, as this is the predominant mode of failure in these patients leading to poor outcomes. This Phase II study design would be used to proceed with the study treatment after meeting pre-specified events in the initial phase, with goal being to determine whether the new treatment paradigm is sufficiently promising to warrant a major controlled clinical evaluation against the standard therapy.
This study evaluates the safety associated with the addition of sulfasalazine to stereotactic radiosurgery for recurrent glioblastoma. Sulfasalazine is a potential tumor selective radiosensitizer.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and how well of pembrolizumab and a vaccine therapy (ATL-DC vaccine) work in treating patients with glioblastoma that has come back (recurrent) and can be removed by surgery (surgically accessible). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Vaccines, such as ATL-DC vaccine, may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Giving pembrolizumab and ATL-DC vaccine may work better in treating patients with glioblastoma compared to ATL-DC alone.
The main purpose of this study is to find out the highest possible dose of maprotiline that can be given safely in combination with temozolomide and tamoxifen.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of WSD0922-FU for the treatment of glioblastoma, anaplastic astrocytoma, or non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the central nervous system (central nervous system metastases). WSD0922-FU is a targeted treatment which blocks the EGFR protein - a strategy that has led to a lot of benefit in patients with many different cancers. WSD0922-FU may also be able to get into cancers in the brain and spinal cord and help patients with brain and spinal cord cancers.
