Filter by:In the proposed trial, patients will be administered ribociclib+everolimus prior to surgical resection of their tumor. Recurrent GBM patients will be randomized into one of the three time-interval cohorts for the first two dose levels. In the lead-in dose escalation study, the first six subjects (lead-in) will receive ribociclib 400 mg and everolimus 2.5 mg orally-administered in 5 daily doses with the last dose. If one or less patient experiences DLT among the 6 patients, this regimen with ribociclib 400 mg and everolimus 2.5mg will be considered safe and we will continue with the dose escalation phase of the study up to Level 3. Four dose escalation levels: Level 0: ribociclib 400mg and everolimus 2.5 Level 1: ribociclib 600mg and everolimus 2.5mg Level 2: ribociclib 600mg and everolimus 5mg Level 3: ribociclib 600mg and everolimus 10mg
The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of a possible treatment regimen that could be used to delay tumor progression in patients with glioblastoma. The study is being conducted in patients who qualify for inpatient rehabilitation, as this population is particularly vulnerable to delays in initiation of chemoradiation and further tumor growth in the period between surgical resection and the start of treatment.
This trial studies the side effects and how well ketoconazole works before surgery in treating patients with glioma that has come back or breast cancer that has spread to the brain. Ketoconazole is an antifungal drug that may be able to block a protein, tGLI1 and may help to treat brain tumors.
Open label, non-randomized, mono-center Phase I/II study in subjects with IDH-wildtype WHO grade III / IV glioma at first relapse.
This phase II trial studies how well fluorodopa F 18-positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging scan (18F-DOPA-PET/MRI) works in imaging elderly patients with newly diagnosed grade IV malignant glioma or glioblastoma during planning for a short course of proton beam radiation therapy. 18F-DOPA is a chemical tracer that highlights certain cells during imaging. PET scan, is a metabolic imaging technique which takes advantage of how tumor cells take up nutrients differently than normal tissue. MRI scans are used to guide radiation therapy for most brain tumors. Hypofractionated proton beam therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may kill more tumor cells and have fewer side effects. Using 18FDOPA-PET scans along with MRI scans may be able to provide the radiation doctor with information on tumor tissue versus normal, healthy tissue and may help the doctor more accurately plan the radiation treatment.
To investigate the influence of two physical activity and exercising (PAE) interventions, namely resistance training and endurance training in relation to quality of life, depression, fatigue, sleep, anxiety, stress and coping, body image, and social interactions (psychological dimensions); cardiorespiratory fitness, morning cortisol secretion, inflammatory markers, and objective sleep (physiological dimensions), along with cancer-related dimensions
The 1635-EORTC-BTG study - Wait or Treat - concerns patients that represent a clinically favorable group of patients with IDHmutated astrocytoma (oligo-symptomatic), without a need for immediate post-operative treatment. It will establish whether early adjuvant treatment with radiotherapy and adjuvant temozolomide in resected IDHmutated astrocytoma will improve outcome, and whether benefits of early treatment outweigh potential side-effects of that, such as deterioration in neurocognitive function or Quality of Live, seizure activity and Patient Reported outcome compared to active surveillance.
High-grade gliomas are the most common and aggressive type of brain cancer. Scientists don't fully understand how they grow and spread, and treatments haven't improved much in recent years. However, it's been discovered that these cancers rely heavily on using glucose to maintain their cancerous traits. In lab tests, drugs from the azole class, which target a key step in glucose metabolism, have shown promise in reducing tumor growth in these cancers. Researchers now want to test two of these drugs, ketoconazole and posaconazole, in patients with recurring high-grade gliomas. A small group of these patients will receive either one or several doses of these drugs before undergoing surgery. During the surgery, doctors will measure how much of the drug is present in the brain. They will also study how the drug affects the tumor, particularly its ability to process glucose. This research aims to provide initial insights into how these drugs work in patients with this type of brain cancer, which could guide future research and treatment strategies.
The key molecular changes in the progression of glioma are closely related to tumor heterogeneity, pathological grade, precision treatment and prognosis of glioma. At present, a visually quantitative assessment criteria about the key molecular typing of glioma is still absent. Based on the previous research, this project intends to establish a multi-dimensional database of glioma from clinical, radiomics and microomics levels. The investigators aim to filter out the specific molecular markers in the progression of glioma and explore the intrinsic connection of radiomics features and microomics molecular markers by using bioinformatics integration analysis and artificial intelligence multiple kernel learning. Thus, the investigators could determine the specific molecular mechanism in the progression of glioma, and establish a visually quantitative assessment system of pre-operative precisive grading, molecular typing discrimination and prognosis prediction. The completion of this project is of great significance for improving molecular diagnostic level of glioma, guiding individualized diagnosis and treatment decisions, and improving the survival rate of patients.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of BGB-290 and temozolomide in treating adolescents and young adults with IDH1/2-mutant grade I-IV glioma that is newly diagnosed or has come back. BGB-290 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. Giving BGB-290 and temozolomide may work better in treating adolescents and young adults with IDH1/2-mutant grade I-IV glioma.
