Filter by:The purpose of this study is to to describe the effect of a palliative regimen consisting of Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT) on distress, quality of life (QOL), neurocognition, days in the hospital, patient disposition, and readmission in newly diagnosed World Health Organization (WHO) grade IV malignant glioma (glioblastoma (GBM) or gliosarcoma) patients unable to undergo broader surgical resection. The primary objective is to assess changes in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) distress thermometer in newly diagnosed WHO grade IV malignant glioma patients who receive LITT. *Please note: This study was originally designed as a interventional device study studying the effect of the LITT procedure; however, it was re-designed as an observational study in which the patient population being studied is approved to receive the LITT procedure.
The overall goal of this study is to determine if quantitative imaging techniques can be used to detect dynamic changes of morphology and different physiologic properties of the tumor during and after completion of radiation treatment and to predict site and time of radiation.
This Pediatric MATCH screening and multi-sub-study phase II trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in pediatric patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphomas, or histiocytic disorders that have progressed following at least one line of standard systemic therapy and/or for which no standard treatment exists that has been shown to prolong survival. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic changes or abnormalities (mutations) may benefit more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic mutation, and may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors or non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
The primary goal of this study is to establish, for the first time, safety of prolonged intracerebral convection enhanced delivery of chemotherapy in patients with recurrent high grade glioma (HGG). Secondary objectives will include determination of topotecan (TPT) distribution and radiographic tumor response with prolonged continuous intracerebral convection-enhanced delivery (CED).
This research study is evaluating an investigational drug, an oncolytic virus called rQNestin34.5v.2. This research study is a Phase I clinical trial, which tests the safety of an investigational drug and also tries to define the appropriate dose of the investigational drug as a possible treatment for this diagnosis of recurrent or progressive brain tumor.
This is an adaptive design, randomized controlled, Phase 3 clinical trial in patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) or gliosarcoma (GS), previously treated with surgery (if appropriate), standard of care chemo-radiation with temozolomide, +/- adjuvant temozolomide, and bevacizumab and now has progressive disease during or after bevacizumab. A total of up to 180 eligible patients with recurrent/progressive GBM or GS will be randomized to receive either the investigational drug (VAL-083) or "Investigator's choice of salvage therapy" as a contemporaneous control, in a 2:1 fashion. Up to 120 eligible patients will be randomized to receive VAL-083 at 40 mg/m2 IV on days 1, 2, and 3 of a 21-day treatment-cycle, for up to 12, 21-day treatment cycles or until they fulfill one of the criteria for study discontinuation. Up to 60 patients will be randomized to receive "Investigator's choice of salvage therapy", limited to temozolomide, lomustine, or carboplatin, until they fulfill one of the criteria for study discontinuation. The dose level for Investigator's choice salvage therapy (temozolomide, lomustine, or carboplatin), will be in accordance with the product label or institutional guidelines. In both study arms, interval medical histories, targeted physical exams, neurologic evaluations, complete blood counts, and other laboratory and safety assessments will be performed approximately every 21-days while receiving treatment. Tumor assessments are to be performed approximately every 42 ± 7 days while remaining on study. The study is estimated to last approximately 20 months.
The objective of this expanded access program is to provide ONC201 to eligible patients with previously-treated glioma that exhibits the H3 K27M mutation and/or that is located in the midline region of the brain.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the Optune NovoTTF-200A device can be safely used in combination with chemotherapy in pediatric patients with recurrent high-grade glioma and ependemoma.
This is a single-arm, non-randomized study of re-irradiation of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG)
To evaluate the efficacy of multi-modality magnetic resonance quantitative parameters in evaluating the treatment effects of high-grade gliomas, and to provide new biomarkers for the establishment of new diagnostic criteria for the identification of true and pseudoprogression of high-grade gliomas.
