Filter by:The objective of this study is to determine the survival status of patients enrolled in study GLI01S (all-case observational study).
Determine the overall discriminatory ability of FET PET in the diagnosis of glioma grade II (referring to the current diagnostic gold standard represented by the histopathology exam of a tumor sample).
Topotecan is a FDA-approved drug when given by intravenous injection, but it is not effective against brain tumors when given intravenously. The Cleveland Multiport Catheter is a new, investigational device that will be used to deliver topotecan directly into participants' brain tumors. One purpose of this study is to determine whether the Cleveland Multiport Catheter can be used effectively and safely to deliver topotecan directly into brain tumors. This study will also evaluate different doses of topotecan that can be delivered to a participant's brain tumor with use of the Cleveland Multiport Catheter, and it will also examine how their tumor responds to treatment with topotecan.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and clinical activity of enasidenib in adults with advanced solid tumors, including glioma, or with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), with an isocitrate dehydrogenase-2 (IDH2) mutation.
This will be an open label, single arm study. Subjects with newly diagnosed high grade glioma will begin minocycline one week prior to beginning postoperative chemoradiation and continue it until progression, intolerance, or the end of adjuvant temozolomide, whichever comes first.
Currently, the prognosis of recurrent high-grade gliomas is still dismal with no standard treatment protocol established. Cisplatin (CDDP), recommended by National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) as a chemotherapeutic agent in salvage treatment for recurrent high-grade gliomas, was shown to reduce O6-alkylguanine DNA-alkyl transferase (AGAT) activity and potentially capable of enhancing the antitumor effects of temozolomide (TMZ). Compared to the standard 5-day TMZ regimen, alternating weekly regimen that deliver more prolonged exposure of TMZ may lead to higher cumulative doses, and may deplete more O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), thus reducing the resistance of tumor cells to TMZ. The investigators therefore initiate a single-arm Phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of CDDP plus alternating weekly TMZ regimen in patients with recurrent high-grade gliomas.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to determine whether transient opening of the blood-brain barrier by pulsed ultrasound using the SonoCloud implantable ultrasound device is safely tolerated in patients with recurrent glioblastoma immediately before systemic delivery of carboplatin-based chemotherapy. STUDY HYPOTHESIS: The blood-brain barrier can be safely opened using pulsed ultrasound prior to chemotherapy administration in patients with recurrent glioblastoma. Transient opening of the blood-brain barrier by pulsed ultrasound will increase the glioblastoma exposure to carboplatin-based chemotherapy and increase progression-free and overall survival in patients with recurrent glioblastoma.
The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of a drug called temsirolimus in combination with a drug called perifosine in treating brain tumors that have continued to grow after previous treatment. Temsirolimus is an intravenous drug approved by the FDA for treatment of other cancers (kidney cancer, certain types of lymphoma) but not for brain tumors. Perifosine is a pill that has not been approved by the FDA which blocks a messenger that tells cancer cells to grow. Research suggests that combined treatment with both drugs is better than either alone, and that it is reasonably safe.
Many types of cancer are primarily treated with surgery and patient survival is directly related to the extent to which the tumor is able to be removed. It is often difficult for surgeons to distinguish tumor tissue from normal tissue or to detect tumor cells that have spread from the original tumor site, resulting in incomplete removal of the tumor and reduced patient survival. In some sites, such as the brain, it is critical to avoid damage to normal tissue around the tumor to prevent adverse effects of surgery on function. We hypothesize that BLZ-100 will improve surgical outcomes by allowing surgeons to visualize the edges of the tumor and small groups of cancer cells that have spread to other sites in real-time as operate. This is a safety study to assess the safety of BLZ-100 in patients with gliomas undergoing surgery.
The results of the present RCT study will add to the growing body of literature investigating the potential role of exercise as a supportive therapeutic intervention for patient with glioma.
