Filter by:The purpose of this study is to find out how much tratuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) can penetrate the tumor when injected into the body, and whether T-DXd may be an effective treatment for brain cancers that express the HER2 protein.
Patients diagnosed with glioblastoma (GBM) are faced with limited treatment options. This pilot study will evaluate the safety and feasibility of combining an investigational drug called 5-ALA with neuronavigation-guided low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) for patients who have recurrent GBM. Focused ultrasound (FUS) can be used to non-invasively destroy tumor tissue while preserving normal tissue. When FUS is combined with 5-ALA, this combinatorial approach is called sonodynamic therapy (SDT), and this investigational therapy is being tested for its ability to cause damage to GBM cells. SDT will take place prior to surgery for recurrent GBM.
The goal of this Phase 0 trial is to study if pre-operative oral pitavastatin administration reaches the tumour in patients with primary or a recurrent glioblastoma. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Does pitavastatin reach a cytotoxic concentration in gadolinium-enhanced tumour tissue after oral administration? - Does pitavastatin achieve a concentration that can synergize with temozolomide in the gadolinium non-enhanced area of the tumour? Participants will receive pitavastatin in differing dosages a week before their elective surgery and blood and tumour samples will be collected.
TVI-Brain-1 is being offered as a potential treatment option to a Named Patient (Emergency Use Authorization IND) for recurrent glioblastoma as there is no effective systemic treatment available for this disease or patient. TVI-Brain-1 is an experimental treatment that takes advantage of the fact that your body can produce immune cells, called 'killer' white blood cells that have the ability to kill large numbers of the cancer cells that are present in your body. TVI-Brain-1 is designed to generate large numbers of those 'killer' white blood cells and to deliver those cells into your body so that they can kill your cancer cells.
The brain is protected from any toxic or inflammatory molecule by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). This physical barrier is located at the level of the blood vessel walls. Because of these barrier properties, the blood vessels are also impermeable to the passage of therapeutic molecules from the blood to the brain. The development of effective treatments against glioblastoma is thus limited due to the BBB that prevents most drugs injected in the bloodstream from getting into brain tissue where the tumour is seated. The SonoCloud-9 (SC9) is an investigational device using ultrasound technology and specially developed to open the BBB in the area of and surrounding the tumour. The transient opening of the BBB allows more drugs to reach the brain tumour tissue. Carboplatin is a chemotherapy that is approved to treat different cancer types alone or in combination with other drugs, and has been used in the treatment of glioblastoma. Despite its proven efficacy in the laboratory on glioblastoma cells, carboplatin does not readily cross the BBB in humans. A clinical trial has shown that in combination with the SonoCloud-9, more carboplatin can reach the brain tumour tissue. The objective of the proposed trial is to show that the association - carboplatin with the SonoCloud-9 - will increase efficacy of the drug in patients with recurrent glioblastoma.
To learn if the Exablate Model 4000 Type 2 ("Exablate System") with the DEFINITY® ultrasound contrast agent can temporarily disrupt the blood brain barrier in patients with recurrent (has grown back) glioblastoma who are scheduled to receive pembrolizumab.
This is a single-center, open, dose-increasing study. For subjects with recurrent glioblastomaIt ,is estimated that about 22 subjects will be enrolled, The main purpose was to evaluate the safety and tolerance of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Variant III Chimeric antigen receptor T(EGFRvIII CAR-T) in the treatment of patients with recurrent glioblastoma.The secondary purpose is to preliminarily evaluate the anti-tumor activity of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Variant III Chimeric antigen receptor T(EGFRvIII CAR-T) in the treatment of patients with recurrent glioblastoma, and preliminarily evaluate the relationship between the clinical efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Variant III Chimeric antigen receptor T cells(EGFRvIII CAR-T cells) preparation, as well as their correlation with tumor markers or other potential biomarkers. This clinical study is an open clinical study, including dose increasing stage and expansion stage. The main objective of the study was to observe the efficacy and safety of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Variant III Chimeric antigen receptor T cells(EGFRvIII CAR-T cells) in the treatment of Glioblastoma (GBM) by local administration (Omaya capsule administration). The study will be divided into the following stages: screening stage, baseline stage, treatment stage, short-term follow-up and long-term follow-up stage.
This early phase I trial tests brain concentration level and safety of defactinib or VS-6766 for the treatment of patients with glioblastoma. Recently, two new drugs that seem to work together have been shown to have promising treatment effects in tissue culture and animal models of glioblastoma. Each inhibits a different glioblastoma growth pathway and when used together may create a larger effect on tumor growth than either alone. Growth pathway describes a series of chemical reactions in which a group of molecules in a cell work together to control cell growth. It is known that glioblastoma tumor cells can grow because of lack of regulation. Both Pyk2 and the closely related kinase (FAK) proteins help regulate tumor cell invasion, unless they are produced in large amounts (over expressed). Specifically, Raf and FAK/Pyk2 regulation of cell division is activated quite a bit more in gliomas compared to normal tissues. Recently developed inhibitors of Raf (VS-6766) and FAK (defactinib) which belong to a class of medications called kinase inhibitors, are aimed to bring their activity to proper levels and may stop tumor growth.
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of allogenic adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs) in treating patients with glioblastoma that has come back (recurrent) who are undergoing brain surgery (craniotomy). Glioblastoma is the most common and most aggressive form of primary and malignant tumor of the brain. Currently, the standard of care for this disease includes surgical resection, followed by radiation with chemotherapy and tumor treating fields. Despite this aggressive therapy, the survival after finishing treatment remains low and the disease often reoccurs. Unfortunately, the available therapy options for recurrent GBM are minimal and do not have a great effect on survival. AMSCs are found in body fat and when separated from the fat, are delivered into the surgical cavity at the time of surgery. When in direct contact with tumor cells, AMSCs affect tumor growth, residual tumor cell death, and chemotherapy resistance. The use of AMSCs delivered locally into the surgical cavity of recurrent GBM during a craniotomy could improve the long-term outcomes of these patients by decreasing the progression rate and invasiveness of malignant cells.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness in the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma with Cadonilimab combined with fractionated radiotherapy.
