Filter by:Subjects will receive standard chemotherapy and Tumor Treated Fields (TTFields) and will also receive Carvedilol for 4 cycles of treatment. Carvedilol will start at 6.25 mg orally twice a day and be increased to 12.5 mg orally twice daily after 1 to 2 weeks if tolerated. Peripheral glioma circulating tumor cells (CTC) and brain MRI with and without contrast will be obtained at baseline, 2 cycles, and 4 cycles to determine the efficacy and direction of change of the CTC using a new assay tool. Preliminary assessment of the tolerability of Carvedilol with standard chemotherapy will also be evaluated.
The trial is designed as a multicenter randomized controlled study. 246 patients with presumed Glioblastoma Multiforme in eloquent areas on diagnostic MRI will be selected by the neurosurgeons according the eligibility criteria (see under). After written informed consent is obtained, the patient will be randomized for an awake craniotomy (AC) (+/-123 patients) or craniotomy under general anesthesia (GA) (+/-123 patients), with 1:1 allocation ratio. Under GA the amount of resection of the tumour has to be performed within safe margins as judged by the surgeon during surgery. The second group will be operated with an awake craniotomy procedure where the resection boundaries for motor or language functions will be identified by direct cortical and subcortical stimulation. After surgery, the diagnosis of GBM will have to be histologically confirmed. If GBM is not histologically confirmed, patients will be considered off-study and withdrawn from the study. These patients will be followed-up according to standard practice. Thereafter, patients will receive the standard treatment with concomitant Temozolomide and radiation therapy and standard follow up. Total duration of the study is 5 years. Patient inclusion is expected to take 4 years. Follow-up is 1 year after surgery. Statistical analysis, cost benefit analysis and article writing will take 3 months.
This is a phase II, open-Label clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TTAC-0001 in patients with recurrent glioblastoma who was progressed on bevacizumab including therapy.
A multi-centre, open-label, single-arm, dose-finding phase I/II study to evaluate safety, tolerability, dosing schedule, and preliminary efficacy of carrier-added 4-L-[131I]iodo-phenylalanine (131I-IPA), administered as single or repetitive injections in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), concomitantly to 2nd line external radiation therapy (XRT) - IPAX-1
In the proposed trial, patients will be administered ribociclib+everolimus prior to surgical resection of their tumor. Recurrent GBM patients will be randomized into one of the three time-interval cohorts for the first two dose levels. In the lead-in dose escalation study, the first six subjects (lead-in) will receive ribociclib 400 mg and everolimus 2.5 mg orally-administered in 5 daily doses with the last dose. If one or less patient experiences DLT among the 6 patients, this regimen with ribociclib 400 mg and everolimus 2.5mg will be considered safe and we will continue with the dose escalation phase of the study up to Level 3. Four dose escalation levels: Level 0: ribociclib 400mg and everolimus 2.5 Level 1: ribociclib 600mg and everolimus 2.5mg Level 2: ribociclib 600mg and everolimus 5mg Level 3: ribociclib 600mg and everolimus 10mg
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of combination therapy with pembrolizumab (MK-3475) and lenvatinib (E7080/MK-7902) in participants with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), ovarian cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer (CRC), glioblastoma (GBM), biliary tract cancers (BTC), or pancreatic cancer.
Progastrin is a pro-hormone that, in physiological conditions, is maturated in gastrin in G cells of the stomach. The role of the gastrin is to stimulate the secretion of gastric acids during digestion. It is also important for the regulation of cell growth of the gastric mucosal. In a healthy person, progastrin is not detectable in the peripheral blood. However, progastrin is abnormally released in the blood of patients with different cancers (colorectal, gastric, ovarian, breast, cervix uterus, melanoma…) The gene GAST coding for progastrin is a direct target gene of the WNT/ß-catenin oncogenic pathway. The activation of this oncogenic pathway is an early event in cancer development. Chronic activation of the WNT/ß-catenin oncogenic pathway occurs in almost all human solid tumors and is a central mechanism in cancer biology that induces cellular proliferation, blocking of differentiation leading to primary tumor growth and metastasis formation. Progastrin measured in the peripheral blood of patients on treatments, could be a new powerful marker for diagnosis and prognosis at different stages.
Part 1 is an open-label, single-arm, dose escalation study of MN-166 (ibudilast) and temozolomide (TMZ) combination treatment. Evaluate safety and tolerability of ibudilast (MN-166) and TMZ combination treatment for 1 cycle (28 days); determine dosage in dose-finding study. Part 2 will evaluate efficacy of fixed-dose MN-166 (ibudilast) and TMZ combination treatment for 6 cycles (~6 months) until disease progression, unacceptable tolerability and/or toxicity or loss of life.
The study is a prospective, single arm open label study, designed to test the to evaluate the tolerability and safety outcome of newly diagnosed GBM patients treated with NovoTTF-200A concomitant to Radiotherapy/Temozolomide followed by Temozolomide. The device is a portable, battery operated device for chronic administration of alternating electric fields (termed TTFields or TTF) to the region of the malignant tumor, by means of surface, insulated electrode arrays.
This phase II trial studies how well fluorodopa F 18-positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging scan (18F-DOPA-PET/MRI) works in imaging elderly patients with newly diagnosed grade IV malignant glioma or glioblastoma during planning for a short course of proton beam radiation therapy. 18F-DOPA is a chemical tracer that highlights certain cells during imaging. PET scan, is a metabolic imaging technique which takes advantage of how tumor cells take up nutrients differently than normal tissue. MRI scans are used to guide radiation therapy for most brain tumors. Hypofractionated proton beam therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may kill more tumor cells and have fewer side effects. Using 18FDOPA-PET scans along with MRI scans may be able to provide the radiation doctor with information on tumor tissue versus normal, healthy tissue and may help the doctor more accurately plan the radiation treatment.
