Filter by:This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of microtubule-targeted agent BAL101553 when given together with radiation therapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as microtubule-targeted agent BAL101553, 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 x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving microtubule-targeted agent BAL101553 and radiation therapy may work better in treating patients with glioblastoma.
The goal of this single arm Phase I feasibility study is to investigate the tolerability of cannabis with concurrent chemoradiation in the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). A strain of cannabis provided by The National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) that has a high concentration of cannabidiol (CBD) and a low concentration of THC (relative to average street cannabis) will be tested in order to maximize clinical efficacy while minimizing intoxicating side effects in this medically-ill population.
This trial studies how well a couple-based mind body program works in improving spiritual, psychosocial, and physical quality of life in patients with high or low grade glioma or tumors that have spread to the brain and their partners. A couple-based mind body program may help to improve spiritual well-being, sleep difficulties, depressive symptoms, and overall quality of life in patients with glioma or tumors that have spread to the brain and their partners.
A phase 2 clinical trial for the efficacy and safety of low dose Temozolomide plus metformin as combination chemotherapy compared with low dose Temozolomide plus placebo in patient with recurrent or refractory Glioblastoma
The HIT-HGG-2013 trial offers an innovative high-quality diagnostics and science program for children and adolescents >3 years, suffering from one of the following types of high grade gliomas: 1. glioblastoma WHO grade IV (GBM) 2. diffuse midlineglioma histone 3 K27M mutated WHO grade IV (DMG) 3. anaplastic astrocytoma WHO grade III (AA) 4. diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) 5. gliomatosis cerebri (GC) For 1.-3. diagnosis has to be confirmed by neuropathological survey, for 4. and 5. diagnosis has to be confirmed by neuroradiological survey. In addition to standard treatment (radiotherapy and temozolomide chemotherapy) the effect of valproic acid which is traditionally used for treatment of seizure disorder, will be investigated. The aim of the trial will be to investigate whether this drug may increase the effects of radio- and chemotherapy, resulting in a better survival of the treated patients. Scientific studies provided evidence for anti-tumoral effects of valproic acid: the drug seems to be a so-called histondeacetylase inhibitor (HDAC inhibitor), controlling important genetic processes of tumor growth. Studies in cell culture, animals and first clinical trials in adults as well provided evidence for efficacy of valproic acid in the treatment of glioblastoma. Due to this we hope children and adolescents suffering from GBM, DMG, AA, DIPG und GC will benefit from the treatment, too. The aim of the HIT-HGG-2013 trial will be to compare the effects of Valproic acid with data of the HIT-HGG-2007 trial (children and adolescents with same diseases, only treated with simultaneous temozolomide radiochemotherapy). In the present study, it was originally planned to investigate the therapeutic efficiency and safety of valproic acid and the autophagy inhibitor chloroquine, both in addition to temozolomide therapy. Since distribution of Resochin junior (chloroquine phosphate) was terminated, recruitment of new patients was stopped on August 8, 2019. For continuation of the trial, the chloroquine arm was closed but the patients already recruited in this arm will be followed up.
This pilot study aims to evaluate the feasibility of close glucose monitoring and management of patients (targeting fasting and pre-meal glucose of 4-7 mmol/L) using state-of-the-art flash glucose monitoring (FGM) technology. The glycemic intervention will be personalized based on individual blood glucose levels. Although the glycemic interventions used in this study include standard medications and methods of glucose monitoring used for patients with diabetes, this pilot study will specifically evaluate the feasibility of using these approaches in patients with GBM, appreciating their additional medical, functional and social challenges.
Phase I clinical trial on intra-tumoral ipilimumab plus intravenous nivolumab following the resection of recurrent glioblastoma. The aim of this clinical trial is to exploit the potential synergy of combined intra-tumoral CTLA-4 and systemic PD-1 blockade while minimizing the risk for increased immune-related toxicity by intratumoral administration of the CTLA-blocking mAb ipilimumab following the resection of the recurrent glioblastoma.
This study is a prospective single arm trial designed to study the safety, feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a medical device, NovoTTF-200A used concomitantly with standard adjuvant treatment for newly diagnosed glioblastoma.
This is an open-label study, to evaluated epitinib, which is a selective epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR TKI), to treat glioblastoma patients with EGFR gene amplification. As epitinib could cross blood-brain barrier (BBB), inhibition of EGFR may provide a novel mechanism in treating glioblastoma.
Bevacizumab has become the standard of care of recurrent glioblastoma based on promising clinical trial results with with response rates up to 50% and progression-free survival up to 9 months. In our study, we set to find the serum angiogenesis biomarkers of bevacizumab response.
