Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the investigational drug AMXT 1501 (a pill taken by mouth) in combination with the drug difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) for infusion administered intravenously (IV; a liquid that continuously goes into your body through a tube that has been placed during a surgery into one of your veins). An investigational drug is one that has not been approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), or any other regulatory authorities around the world for use alone or in combination with any drug, for the condition or illness it is being used to treat. The goals of this part of the study are: - Establish a recommended dose of AMXT 1501 in combination with DFMO for infusion - Test the safety and tolerability of AMXT 1501 in combination with DFMO for infusion in patients with cancer - To determine the activity of study treatments chosen based on: - How each subject responds to the study treatment - How long a subject lives without their disease returning/progressing
Primary brain malignant tumor has become the first lethal tumor in children and young adults, and the treatment is limited, and the prognosis of patients is poor. According to the classification of the World Health Organization, glioblastoma is divided into grade II, III and IV gliomas; The higher the degree of malignancy, the worse the clinical outcome. Among them, the most malignant, most lethal, and most common types of tumors include supratentorial glioblastoma, diffuse endopontine glioma (DIPG), medulloblastoma, and ependymoma. Its high malignancy is mainly manifested in three aspects: extremely rapid growth and obvious invasion; The operation is not easy to remove all; The tumor has a tendency of recurrence and disseminated implantation. It can occur with children and adults of all ages. At present, surgery combined with chemoradiotherapy is the main treatment, but the therapeutic effect is not good. Studies have shown that glioblastoma, as the most common primary brain malignant tumor in adults, after standard surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the median survival time is less than 15 months, and the overall five-year survival rate is only 5.4%. Even after receiving new and expensive Tumor-treating fields, the median survival time is less than 21 months. The median survival time of DIPG patients is generally less than 1 year, and the 5-year survival rate is less than 5%. The average 5-year survival rate of medulloblastoma and anaplastic ependymoma is 40%~60%. Innovative treatments are urgently needed. Immunotherapy based on Vγ9Vδ2 T cells has become a promising research direction in recent years. Its unique phosphine antigen recognition does not depend on major histocompatibility complex (MHC), easy to allograft and other advantages. Making it one of the most promising cell therapies. Brain glioma has abnormal cholesterol metabolism and phosphine antigen accumulation, which is easily sensed by Vγ9Vδ2 T cells. Therefore, the clinical exploration of Vγ9Vδ2 T cells for glioma is of great significance to both the scientific and clinical communities.
The goal of this study is to determine the response of the study drug loratinib in treating children who are newly diagnosed high-grade glioma with a fusion in ALK or ROS1. It will also evaluate the safety of lorlatinib when given with chemotherapy or after radiation therapy.
The goal of this study is to determine the efficacy of the study drug olutasidenib to treat newly diagnosed pediatric and young adult patients with a high-grade glioma (HGG) harboring an IDH1 mutation. The main question the study aims to answer is whether the combination of olutasidenib and temozolomide (TMZ) can prolong the life of patients diagnosed with an IDH-mutant HGG.
The REMIT (RE-irradiation of diffuse MIdline glioma paTients) study evaluates safety and the palliative efficacy of re-irradiation of patients with diffuse midline glioma (DMG). The study will introduce a standard re-irradiation treatment schedule for DMG patients who have progressed following primary treatment.
The goal of this study is to determine the efficacy of the study drugs ribociclib and everolimus to treat pediatric and young adult patients newly diagnosed with a high-grade glioma (HGG), including DIPG, that have genetic changes in pathways (cell cycle, PI3K/mTOR) that these drugs target. The main question the study aims to answer is whether the combination of ribociclib and everolimus can prolong the life of patients diagnosed with HGG, including DIPG.
The goal of this study is to perform genetic sequencing on brain tumors from children, adolescents, and young adult patients who have been newly diagnosed with a high-grade glioma. This molecular profiling will decide if patients are eligible to participate in a subsequent treatment-based clinical trial based on the genetic alterations identified in their tumor.
This study will address the question of whether targeting CMV antigens with PEP-CMV can serve as a novel immunotherapeutic approach in pediatric patients with newly-diagnosed high-grade glioma (HGG) or diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) as well as recurrent medulloblastoma (MB). PEP-CMV is a vaccine mixture of a peptide referred to as Component A. Component A is a synthetic long peptide (SLP) of 26 amino acid residues from human pp65. The SLPs encode multiple potential class I, class II, and antibody epitopes across several haplotypes. Component A will be administered as a stable water:oil emulsion in Montanide ISA 51.
