Filter by:The objective of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of treatment with hypothyroxinemia adjunct to conventional therapies in GBM patients.
In this phase I/II trial, the primary objective is to determine overall and progression-free survival of patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma when autologous Wilms' tumor 1 (WT1) messenger (m)RNA-loaded dendritic cell (DC) vaccination is added to adjuvant temozolomide maintenance treatment following (sub)total resection and temozolomide-based chemoradiation.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the immunotherapeutic agent nivolumab given in combination with gamma knife therapy and valproate in patients with recurrent glioblastoma, a common and lethal type of brain cancer.
This is a safety (Phase 1) trial using mebendazole for recurrent pediatric brain cancers that include medulloblastoma and high grade glioma, that are no longing responding to standard therapies. The drug mebendazole is an oral drug in a chewable 500 mg orange flavored tablet. It is already approved to treat parasitic infections. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and side effects for increasing doses of mebendazole, followed by the treatment of an additional 12 patients at the best tolerated dose.
18F-FDOPA PET is expensive. It is mandatory therefore to assess its impact on the management of patients with high-grade gliomas in order to provide medico-economic justification for its use. The article by the UCLA group showed that 18F-FDOPA modified 41% of management decisions for patients with brain tumors (Walter JNM 2012). However, this study comprised 58 patients, combined primary and recurring tumors, and was based on questionnaires sent out to referring physicians. A targeted study is needed, therefore, to make a prospective multicenter assessment of the contribution of this technique in the context of high-grade glial tumors and neurooncology MCCs.
This phase 0 trial studies ixazomib citrate in treating patients with glioblastoma that has spread or returned after period of improvement who are planning to undergo surgery. When given by mouth, ixazomib may be able to reach tumor cells in the brain. Studying samples of tissue, blood, and plasma in the laboratory from patients receiving ixazomib may help doctors learn more about the effects of ixazomib on the cells. It may also help doctors understand how well patients will respond to treatment.
This study is being conducted to help determine whether β-elemene as maintain treatment for complete remission patients of newly diagnosed malignant gliomas following standard treatment, is able to delay tumor growth, or impact how long people with newly diagnosed high-grade glioma.
This is a proof of concept, single-arm study to investigate crenolanib monotherapy in patients with recurrent/refractory glioblastoma with PDGFRA gene amplification by assessing the progression-free survival (PFS) at 6 months. Crenolanib will be given orally starting at 100 mg TID continuously until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or consent withdrawal.
Testing the effect of providing an antidepressant and anxiety-type escitalopram for patients with glioblastoma on patient's quality of life including the effect of treatment on mood and cognition during treatment.Two subgroups will fill questionnaires : - Questionnaire mini mental state exam (mmse) which is the maximum score of 30. A score of below 24 indicates a flaw in the level of dementia - Questionnaire depression / mood PHQ9P(Pa t i e n t H e a l t h Qu e s t i o n n a i r e - 9) - The M. D. Anderson Symptom Inventory (MDASI) - Evaluation of the hospital situation awareness (clinical assessment and questionnaire) - Cognitive assessment which will be carried out by the Department neuropsychological and include: - Executive function (Stroop) - Abstract Reasoning (similarities) - -Auditory and Spatial Attention (Digit span, Spatial span) visual memory and remembering Literature - Memory function - visual and auditory (ROCF, RAVLT) - Language function: Naming and verbal fluency - Mindstreems Neurotrax
The standard or usual treatment for this disease is standard chemotherapy alone. AZD2014 is a new type of drug for glioblastoma multiforme. In the laboratory it has been shown to slow the growth of glioblastoma multiforme. In some animal studies AZD2014 seemed to work better when given with a drug called temozolomide.
