Filter by:The recurrent mutation IDH1Arg132His leads to the cellular accumulation of D-2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG), thus representing a diagnostic marker (this change is almost specific for gliomas) and prognostic (mutated gliomas have longer survival) of interest. The main objective is to identify the patients with IDH1 mutated glioma by three complementary approaches -genetic (identification of IDH1 mutation in plasmatic DNA), biochemical (2-HG dosage in the urine of patients) and radiological (2-HG
The goal of this pilot study is to determine if intra-arterial (IA) chemotherapy is safe in the treatment of progressive diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPG). IA administration of the chemotherapeutic agent enhances the regional distribution of the drug, thereby increasing the local delivered dose while minimizing systemic toxicity. It also provides a treatment option for these patients at the time of tumor recurrence.
This is a study of oral LY2157299 as monotherapy and in combination with lomustine in participants with recurrent malignant glioma.
This is a pilot study of a vaccination regime that is designed to efficiently induce anti-tumor T-cell responses in patients with WHO grade II glioma. The proposed regime with BTIC Lysate in combination with imiquimod, an FDA-approved immune response modifier will induce potent anti-glioma immune response with minimal or no toxicity.
This is an open label Phase 1b clinical trial of IV administration of OKN-007 in a pilot cohort of human recurrent malignant glioma patients. All patients will have been previously treated with the standard-of-care treatment which includes surgical resection, radiation and chemotherapy, and in some cases treatment for recurrent disease with investigational agents or bevacizumab (Avastin). Patients with unequivocal recurrence (first or greater) established by MRI with and without contrast (e.g., Gd-DTPA (Gadolinium-diethylene triamine pentacetic acid) and meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria, will be eligible for OKN-007 treatment on this protocol.
Temozolomide is the standard adjuvant chemotherapy of newly-diagnosis malignant gliomas.Cisplatin , a kind of chemotherapeutics, can enforce the anti-tumor effects of TMZ. Up to now, the prognosis of recurrent gliomas is very pessimistic and the standard treatment procedure has not been established yet. The prospective,multicentre phase II clinical study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TMZ and CDDP in patients with recurrent malignant gliomas
The purpose of this research study is to determine whether taking either of two low dose drugs that would prevent new blood vessels from growing after stem cell transplant is feasible, and what the side effects of taking each of these drugs after autologous transplant might be. The reason the investigators are looking at these drugs is because one of the things that allows tumors to grow quickly is their ability to stimulate the growth of new blood vessels. By suppressing the growth of new blood vessels after stem cell transplant, the investigators hope to prevent the tumors from coming back or continuing to grow.
Low-grade glioma (LGG) is a common primary brain tumor in young adults. The infiltrative nature and frequent growth in eloquent area in brain often makes total resection impossible. Until now, no agreement has been achieved on the treatment of LGG without total resection. Post-radiation adjuvant temozolomide (TMZ) is currently the standard of care for high-grade gliomas. Radiotherapy or TMZ is recommended for the treatment of residue low-grade gliomas. However, the efficacy of combined radiotherapy with adjuvant TMZ for residue LGG remains to be defined. In this randomized controlled trial, the investigators will test the hypothesis that radiotherapy with subsequent TMZ chemotherapy is superior to improve the progression-free survival of patients with residue LGG without significant impairment to quality of life compared to radiotherapy alone.
This partially randomized phase I/II trial studies the side effects and the best dose of anti-endoglin monoclonal antibody TRC105 when given together with bevacizumab and to see how well they work in treating patients with glioblastoma multiforme that has come back. Monoclonal antibodies, such as anti-endoglin monoclonal antibody TRC105 and bevacizumab, may find tumor cells and help kill them. Giving anti-endoglin monoclonal antibody TRC105 together with bevacizumab may be an effective treatment for glioblastoma multiforme.
This study is being done to evaluate the toxicity and safety of carboplatin administered by convection enhanced delivery into the tumor in patients with high grade glial neoplasms. This study is a dose escalating study, (the dose of the study drug is increased at set time points). Carboplatin is in a class of drugs known as platinum-containing compounds; it slows or stops the growth of cancer cells in your body. Convection enhanced delivery involves placing one or more catheters into the brain and delivering chemotherapy through those catheters directly into the brain
