Filter by:A study to demonstrate safety, and feasibility for intraparenchymal injection of irinotecan hydrochloride drug-eluting beads in the treatment of recurrent high grade glioma (HGG).
This randomized clinical trial studies couples-based yoga program in improving quality of life in patients with high-grade glioma undergoing radiation therapy and their partners. A couple-based Hatha yoga program may improve fatigue, distress, sleep quality, and overall quality of life in patients with glioma and their partners.
This study evaluates the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and clinical activity of AG-881 in Gliomas, that harbor an IDH1 and/or IDH2 mutation.
The aim is to classify high grade glioma by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI MSI). In order to provide more specific informations for the diagnosis and the prognosis of high grade glioma.
Intraoperative surgical fluorescence microscopy is a useful technique for the surgical resection of glioma. However the accuracy of this method is limited by its too low sensitivity. Fluorescence spectroscopy has the potential capacity to overcome the current limitations of conventional fluorescence guided surgery by increasing the sensitivity: in a pilot study on brain tumor biopsies, fluorescence spectroscopy was shown to measure two-peaked 5-ALA-induced protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) fluorescence emission spectrum which clearly enables to distinguish the solid component of glioblastomas from low grade gliomas and infiltrative component of glioblastomas. This innovative method could become in future a useful tool for real-time diagnosis of brain lesions (initial diagnosis or follow-up post resection to check for residual dysplasia) and real-time assessment of resections margins during surgery. However, those preliminary ex-vivo results have to be confirmed in a feasibility in-vivo study on human.
The purpose of this research study is to determine if an investigational dendritic cell vaccine, called pp65 DC, is effective for the treatment of a specific type of brain tumor called glioblastoma (GBM) when given with stronger doses of routine chemotherapy.
This phase II MATCH screening and multi-sub-trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in patients with solid tumors, lymphomas, or multiple myelomas that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) and does not respond to treatment (refractory). Patients must have progressed following at least one line of standard treatment or for which no agreed upon treatment approach exists. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic abnormalities (such as mutations, amplifications, or translocations) may benefit more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic abnormality. Identifying these genetic abnormalities first may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors, lymphomas, or multiple myeloma.
This study is a clinical trial to determine the safety of injecting G207 (a new experimental virus therapy) into a recurrent or progressive brain tumor. The safety of combining G207 with a single low dose of radiation, designed to enhance virus replication and tumor cell killing, will also be tested.
This study is trying to learn and understand if the chemotherapy drug called carboplatin works as well as the standard therapy. The standard therapy for Low Grade Glioma (LGG) in children and young adults is using a combination of carboplatin and vincristine. Studies in children have shown that the use of carboplatin alone has promise of being just as effective for treating LGG as standard therapy. Additionally, this study will try to understand if treatment with carboplatin alone is associated with an improved quality of life for LGG patients and their families.
The NOA-16 trial is the first-in-man trial of the IDH1 (isocitrate dehydrogenase type 1) peptide vaccine targeting the IDH1R132H mutation (amino acid exchange from arginine to glutamine at position 132 of IDH1). The aim of this trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of and immune response to the IDH1 peptide vaccine in patients with IDH1R132H-mutated, WHO grade III-IV gliomas.
