Filter by: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 Phase 3 clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of niraparib versus temozolomide (TMZ) in adult participants with newly-diagnosed, MGMT unmethylated glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does niraparib improve progression-free survival (PFS) compared to TMZ? Does niraparib improve overall survival (OS) compared to TMZ? Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment arms: niraparib or TMZ. - study drug (Niraparib) or - comparator drug (Temozolomide - which is the standard approved treatment for MGMT unmethylated glioblastoma). The study medication will be taken daily while receiving standard of care radiation therapy (RT) for 6-7 weeks. Participants may continue to take the niraparib or TMZ adjuvantly as long as the cancer does not get worse or completion of 6 cycles of treatment (TMZ). A total of 450 participants will be enrolled in the study. Participants' tasks will include: - Complete study visits as scheduled - Complete a diary to record study medication
The main objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety of XS005 cell which contains Natural Killer (NK) cells and culture-expanded injection; to determine the maximum tolerated dose . Furthermore, initial efficacy will be examined.
This phase I/II clinical trial is intended to investigate the efficacy and safety of SVZ irradiation with postoperative radiotherapy in patients with GBM.
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.
This single center, single arm, open-label, phase I study will assess the safety of laparoscopically harvested autologous omentum, implanted into the resection cavity of recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patients.
This will be a prospective, open label, single center, phase I lead-in study of 10 patients to a single arm phase-II study of 37 additional patients to assess the effectiveness of pembrolizumab and lenvatinib combination therapy for recurrent glioblastoma (rGBM) patients wearing TTFields electrodes.
This single center, single arm, open-label, phase 2 study will assess the safety and efficacy of a pedicled temporoparietal fascial (TPF) or pericranial flap into the resection cavity of newly diagnosed glioblastoma multifome (GBM) patients. The objective of the Phase 2 study is to demonstrate that this surgical technique is safe and effective in a human cohort of patients with resected newly diagnosed AA or GBM and may improve progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
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.
The purpose of this study is to establish the recommended phase 2 dose of eflornithine in combination with temozolomide in patients whose glioblastoma is newly diagnosed, and to evaluate safety and tolerability of this combination at that dose.
