Filter by:Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is a type of malignant glioma. These cancers are nearly always fatal. People who develop these cancers get aggressive treatments. But the tumors almost always recur. Researchers want to study people with newly diagnosed disease to learn more. Objective: To study people with newly diagnosed GBM or gliosarcoma to look at the changes in immune cells in the blood of those who take ipilimumab and nivolumab, along with temozolomide. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 and older with newly diagnosed GBM or gliosarcoma, who have had surgical removal of their tumor and have completed standard initial chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Design: Participants will be screened with the following: Medical record review Medical history Physical exam Tests to assess their nervous system and their ability to do typical activities Blood tests Tumor assessment. For this, they will have magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). They may get a contrast dye through an intravenous (IV) catheter. The MRI scanner makes noise. They will get earplugs. Electrocardiogram. It measures heart rate and rhythm. They will lie still. Sticky pads will be placed on their chest, arms, and legs. Screening tests will be repeated during the study. Treatment will be given in cycles. Each cycle lasts 4 weeks. Participants will get nivolumab and ipilimumab via IV. They will take temozolomide by mouth. They will keep a pill diary. Participants will fill out surveys about their symptoms. Participants will have follow-up visits about 60 days and 100 days after treatment ends. Then they will be contacted every 6 months for the rest of their life.
The investigators showed in 2015 (Guichet et al) that the Notch1 pathway has an anti-proliferative role on glial brain tumors. In this project, the investigators investigated which genes downstream of Notch1 pathway activation produce the anti-proliferative effect. The investigators hypothesized that the SNAI2 and TAL1 genes act downstream of Notch1
The study "A MultIceNTER Phase I Peptide VaCcine Trial to Exploit NeoePitope-Specific T Cells for the Treatment of H3K27M-Mutated Gliomas - (INTERCEPT H3)" is a non-controlled, open-label, single arm, multicenter phase I trial involving patients with gliomas carrying an H3.1K27M or H3.3K27M mutation.
The blood brain barrier (BBB) prevents some drugs from successfully reaching the target tumor. Focused Ultrasound (FUS) using microbubbles and neuro-navigator-controlled sonication is a non-invasive method of temporarily opening up the blood brain barrier to allow a greater concentration of the drug to reach into the brain tumor. This may improve response and may also reduce system side effects in the patient. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of safely opening the BBB in children with progressive diffuse midline gliomas (DMG) treated with oral Panobinostat using FUS with microbubbles and neuro-navigator-controlled sonication. For the purpose of the study, the investigators will be opening up the BBB temporarily in one, two, or three locations around the tumor using the non-invasive FUS technology, and administrating oral Panobinostat in children with progressive DMG.
This project intends to use multiple types of biological samples from glioma patients and mouse intracranial tumor models as research objects, and comprehensively apply a series of omics sequencing technologies and molecular biology technologies to jointly define the following research objectives :
This is a 2-part multicenter Phase 1b study designed to test icapamespib in patients with recurrent brain lesions. Part 1 of the trial will be a standard 3 by 3 dose escalation design where different doses are examined. Part 2 will be a dose expansion cohort to further evaluate the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). The RP2D is defined as the dose level recommended for further clinical study, or the highest dose tested.

FIREFLY-1 is an ongoing, Phase 2, multi center, open-label study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral pan-RAF inhibitor DAY101 in pediatric, adolescent, and young adult patients with recurrent or progressive low-grade glioma or an advanced solid tumor harboring a known RAF alteration.
The purpose of this study is to examine the safety and feasibility of performing hyperpolarized metabolic MRI in the diagnosis of brain tumor. This study will also assess the accuracy of hyperpolarized metabolic MRI to diagnose intermediate to patients with infiltrating gliomas and examine the added utility of metabolic MRI over standard MRI imaging The FDA is allowing the use of hyperpolarized [1-13C] pyruvate (HP 13C-pyruvate) in this study. Up to 5 patients may take part in this study at the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB).
This study will evaluate the safety of BXQ-350 and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in children with newly diagnosed DIPG or DMG. All patients will receive BXQ-350 by intravenous (IV) infusion and radiation therapy. The study is divided into two parts: Part 1 will enroll patients at increasing dose levels of BXQ-350 in order to determine the MTD. Part 2 will enroll patients requiring a biopsy in order to assess BXQ-350 concentrations in the biopsied tumor.
