Filter by:This is a multicenter, open-label, ascending-dose trial of the safety and tolerability of increasing doses of Toca 511, a Retroviral Replicating Vector (RRV), administered to patients with recurrent high grade glioma (rHGG) who have undergone surgery followed by adjuvant radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Patients will receive Toca 511 either via stereotactic, transcranial injection into their tumor or as an intravenous injection given daily for 3 & 5 days, depending on cohort. Approximately 3-4 weeks following injection of the RRV, treatment with Toca FC, an antifungal agent, will commence and will be repeated approximately every 6 weeks until study completion. After completion of this study, all patients will be eligible for enrollment and encouraged to enter a long-term continuation protocol that enables additional Toca FC treatment cycles to be given, as well as permits the collection of long-term safety and survival data.
The study consists in only one treatment group, which will receive the first-line therapy for the disease - standard radiotherapy and a 150 mg/m2 dose of the investigational product (nimotuzumab)
The purpose of this research study to determine if treating recurrent malignant gliomas with another person's (donor) immune system cells known as aCTL cells, will be safe. This study will also try to determine if persons who receive aCTL's are more or less likely to survive their brain tumor than persons who had similar tumors in the past. Approximately 15 patients will be enrolled at UCLA.
The purpose of this study is to determine the survival, disease response, and side effects of Tasigna® (nilotinib) in patients who have malignant gliomas and are positive for Platelet Derived Growth Factor Receptor (PDGFR) amplification. This study is designed to test the hypothesis that patients with malignant gliomas with PDGFR amplification are sensitive to PDGFR kinase inhibitors.
This study will evaluate the test-retest repeatability of lactate and other metabolites measured by single voxel magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and multi-voxel magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging experiments (MRSI) in tumor tissue in patients radiographically diagnosed with glioma. These measurements will test whether the concentration of lactate in tumor will be higher than the concentration of lactate in normal tissue of the same patient.
An open-label phase 2, multicenter study in participants with recurrent malignant glioma.
This phase I clinical trial is studying the side effects and best dose of giving gamma-secretase inhibitor RO4929097 and cediranib maleate together in treating patients with advanced solid tumors. Gamma-secretase inhibitor RO4929097 and cediranib maleate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Cediranib maleate also may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor.
Phase I dose-escalation study to characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of LDE225 given orally on a daily dosing schedule in children with recurrent or refractory medulloblastoma, or other tumors potentially dependent on Hedgehog signaling pathway. Phase II study is to assess preliminary efficacy in both adult and pediatric patients with recurrent or refractory MB.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of gamma-secretase/Notch signalling pathway inhibitor RO4929097 (RO4929097) when given together with temozolomide and radiation therapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed malignant glioma. Enzyme inhibitors, such as gamma-secretase/Notch signalling pathway inhibitor RO4929097, may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, 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. Giving gamma-secretase/Notch signalling pathway inhibitor RO4929097 together with temozolomide and radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.
This study evaluated the effect of capecitabine and concomitant radiation therapy in children with newly diagnosed brainstem gliomas.
