Filter by:Treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) mutation is mainly based on tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) targeting EGFR. 1st or 2nd generation inhibitors have been shown to be superior to chemotherapy in terms of Progression-Free Survival (PFS) when used as 1st line treatment. In case of progression at several metastatic sites, systemic treatment will be considered and will depend on the presence of the TKI resistance mutation, the T790M mutation. In the presence of the T790M mutation, osimertinib is superior to chemotherapy in terms of progression-free survival, while in the absence of the T790M mutation, platinum salt chemotherapy is recommended. In case of local progression, treatment of the site in progression by radiotherapy and/or surgery is considered. As these local treatments can cause long-term adverse effects, systemic treatments are increasingly being considered in this indication. Brain and leptomeningeal metastases are the most frequent isolated site of progression in EGFR mutated patients treated with TKI. The high frequency of isolated cerebral and leptomeningeal progression is a consequence of the lower diffusion of 1st and 2nd generation TKIs in the central nervous system (CNS). Osimertinib is a 3rd generation TKI that has the particularity of overcoming the T790M mutation and having greater brain penetration than 1st or 2nd generation TKIs, which could make it an attractive therapeutic option in the event of brain progression or leptomeningeal progression. However, its efficacy in patients with cerebral or leptomeningeal metastases is still poorly understood.
The primary hypothesis is that camrelizumab in combination with pemetrexed/ carboplatin will present a better efficacy for treatment of first line metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer and minimize the risk of toxicity
This study will test the safety of the study drug, GDC-0084, in combination with radiation therapy in people who have solid tumor brain metastases or leptomeningeal metastases. All participants will have cancer with a PIK3CA mutation. The researchers will test increasing doses of GDC-0084 to find the highest dose that causes few or mild side effects in participants. The study will also try to find out if the combination of the study drug with radiation is effective against participants' cancer.
This study is to collect data about how 18FPARPi can be used together with PET/positron emission tomography and MRI/magnetic resonance imaging scans to take pictures of brain cancer
The purpose of this research study is to develop and test a new communication training to help caregivers communicate more effectively with their loved ones and healthcare professionals about advanced care planning.
This study is being conducted to find out if the safety and tolerability of an experimental cell therapy is safe to administer to patients with a newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) in combination with temozolomide (TMZ).
Describe the safety and adverse events associated with Abemaciclib 150 mg orally twice daily when administered with Bevacizumab 10 mg/kg intravenously every 2 weeks to recurrent GBM patients with specific tumor molecular aberrations
This study evaluates the addition of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to the combination of binimetinib + encorafenib + pembrolizumab in the treatment of BRAFⱽ⁶⁰⁰ mutation-positive melanoma with brain metastases (MBM).
SJELIOT is a phase 1 trial that aims to explore the combination of prexasertib with established DNA-damaging agents used in medulloblastoma to evaluate tolerance and pharmacokinetics in recurrent or refractory disease. Additionally, a small expansion cohort will be incorporated into the trial at the combination MTD/RP2D (maximum tolerated dose/recommended phase two dose) to detect a preliminary efficacy signal. Stratum A: Prexasertib and Cyclophosphamide Primary Objectives - To determine the safety and tolerability and estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of combination treatment with prexasertib and cyclophosphamide in participants with recurrent/refractory Group 3 and Group 4 medulloblastoma and recurrent/refractory sonic hedgehog (SHH) medulloblastoma. - To characterize the pharmacokinetics of prexasertib in combination with cyclophosphamide. Secondary Objectives - To estimate the rate and duration of objective response and progression free survival (PFS) associated with prexasertib and cyclophosphamide treatment in this patient population. - To characterize the pharmacokinetics of cyclophosphamide and metabolites. Stratum B: Prexasertib and Gemcitabine Primary Objectives - To determine the safety and tolerability and estimate the MTD/RP2D of combination treatment with prexasertib and gemcitabine in participants with recurrent/refractory Group 3 and Group 4 medulloblastoma. - To characterize the pharmacokinetics of prexasertib in combination with gemcitabine. Secondary Objectives - To estimate the rate and duration of objective response and PFS associated with prexasertib and gemcitabine treatment in this patient population. - To characterize the pharmacokinetics of gemcitabine and gemcitabine triphosphate (only at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital).
Single center, non-randomized, Phase 0 study. Sacituzumab Govitecan given preoperatively, followed by craniotomy with surgery or biopsy of brain tumors (GBM and metastatic brain tumors from Breast) and intraoperative tissue collection will follow with contemporaneous CSF (depending on tumor location) and whole blood (serum) sampling.
