Filter by:This study is a clinical trial to assess the efficacy and confirm the safety of intratumoral inoculation of G207 (an experimental virus therapy) combined with a single 5 Gy dose of radiation in recurrent/progressive pediatric high-grade gliomas
This is a phase 0/1 dose-escalation trial to determine the maximum tolerated dose of Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) when administered with radiation, in patients with glioblastoma or gliosarcoma.
This is a multi-center, open-label, dose escalation study to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of QBS10072S in patients with advanced or metastatic cancers with high LAT1 expression. The MTD of QBS10072S will be confirmed in patients with relapsed or refractory grade 4 astrocytoma.
This is a multicenter, open-label, continuation study to allow subjects who have previously received Toca 511 to continue to receive Toca FC and to allow for extended safety observations. Subjects will be seen on an every six week basis for 1 year or longer. Subjects who continue to receive Toca FC will receive the dose described in the "parent" protocol. If the Toca FC dose is adjusted for any reason, the serum concentration will be monitored. Gadolinium (Gd)-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans will be performed as per standard of care. If the subject has recurred/progressed, repeat intracranial injection of Toca 511 followed by Toca FC treatment may be offered to consenting patients. Subjects who enter the study to continue Toca FC and subsequently discontinue Toca FC, and subjects who are only willing or able to perform limited testing will have viral testing alone, at the appropriate intervals. After the first year, subjects will be seen twice yearly for the next 4 years and then contacted yearly for the next 10 years. All subjects will be followed on study for at least 5 years regardless of whether they are taking Toca FC.
Rationale: Standard postoperative treatment of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1/2 mutated grade 2 and 3 glioma (IDHmG) consists of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The improving prognosis of these patients leads towards more emphasis on the long-term effects of treatment. Specifically radiotherapy has been implicated in the development of delayed neurocognitive deterioration. The impact of modern radiotherapy techniques (such as intensity modulated radiotherapy, volumetric modulated radiotherapy and proton beam therapy) and chemotherapy on general toxicity, late neurocognitive outcomes and imaging changes is currently unclear. Objectives: - To report treatment outcomes and radiation-induced toxicity from a prospective, multicentre observational cohort of IDHmG patients treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, - To integrate radiotherapeutic dose distributions, imaging changes and neuropsychological outcome in IDHmG. - To evaluate the Dutch selection criteria for proton therapy applied to IDHmG based on the outcomes collected in this observational study. - To assess the impact of proton and photon therapy on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and health-related economics (HR-E) in IDHmG patients. - To collect genetic material for future translational research into the interaction between germline DNA, prognosis and radiation-induced toxicity. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: This project is a multicentre, observational cohort of patients undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy for IDHmG. The protocol closely follows the local guidelines for clinical follow-up. Specific to the study are extra questionnaires and specific imaging acquired during scheduled MRI's. Routine neuropsychological investigation is standard of care in Erasmus Medical Center (Erasmus MC), but not in all participating centers. We feel the additional burden of participation in this study to be low.
This is a multicenter phase 1 trial of INCB7839 for children with recurrent or progressive high-grade gliomas, including, but not limited to, diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) and other diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs), after upfront therapy.
intramedullary astrocytoma is a rare and devastating spinal cord glioma. while the management of intracranial astrocytoma includes gross total resection, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, spinal cord astrocytoma is very difficult to be totally removed due to its infiltrative nature and unclear plane of dissection; Moreover, the use radiotherapy and chemotherapy for spinal cord astrocytoma is controversial. Therefore, the treatment for spinal cord astrocytoma is very limited as compared to its intracranial counterpart. Inadequate understanding of spinal cord astrocytoma mainly contribute to limited treatment, while the molecular profiling of intracranial astrocytoma is relatively well understood. Hence, we performed whole-exome sequencing of intramedullary astrocytoma aiming to identify the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying spinal cord astrocytoma
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of WSD0922-FU for the treatment of glioblastoma, anaplastic astrocytoma, or non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the central nervous system (central nervous system metastases). WSD0922-FU is a targeted treatment which blocks the EGFR protein - a strategy that has led to a lot of benefit in patients with many different cancers. WSD0922-FU may also be able to get into cancers in the brain and spinal cord and help patients with brain and spinal cord cancers.
This phase III trial compares the effect of selumetinib versus the standard of care treatment with carboplatin and vincristine (CV) in treating patients with newly diagnosed or previously untreated low-grade glioma (LGG) that does not have a genetic abnormality called BRAFV600E mutation and is not associated with systemic neurofibromatosis type 1. Selumetinib works by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and may kill tumor cells. Carboplatin and vincristine are chemotherapy drugs that work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. The overall goal of this study is to see if selumetinib works just as well as the standard treatment of CV for patients with LGG. Another goal of this study is to compare the effects of selumetinib versus CV in subjects with LGG to find out which is better. Additionally, this trial will also examine if treatment with selumetinib improves the quality of life for subjects who take it.
This phase II trial studies the effect of immunotherapy drugs (ipilimumab and nivolumab) in treating patients with glioma that has come back (recurrent) and carries a high number of mutations (mutational burden). Cancer is caused by changes (mutations) to genes that control the way cells function. Tumors with high number of mutations may respond well to immunotherapy. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies such as ipilimumab and nivolumab may help the body's immune system attack the cancer and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving ipilimumab and nivolumab may lower the chance of recurrent glioblastoma with high number of mutations from growing or spreading compared to usual care (surgery or chemotherapy).
