Filter by:PROGLIO is a French mono-centric study with longitudinal follow-up, in which patients with high grade brain tumors will be included. Blood samples will be taken during their therapeutic follow-up to evaluate plasma concentrations of hPG80 (circulating progastrin).
At the time of study termination, NUV-422-02 was a first-in-human, open-label, Phase 1 dose escalation study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NUV-422. The study population comprised adults with recurrent or refractory high-grade gliomas (HGGs), metastatic breast cancer (mBC), with and without brain metastases, and recurrent or refractory metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). All patients self-administered NUV-422 orally in 28-day cycles until disease progression, toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or termination of the study.
Currently, there are few effective treatments for the following aggressive brain tumors: glioblastoma multiforme, anaplastic astrocytoma, gliomatosis cerebri, gliosarcoma, or brainstem glioma. Surgery and radiation can generally slow down these aggressive brain tumors, but in the majority of patients, these tumors will start growing again in 6-12 months. Adding chemotherapy drugs to surgery and radiation does not clearly improve the cure rate of children with malignant gliomas. The investigators are conducting this study to see if the combination of valproic acid and bevacizumab (also known as AvastinTM) with surgery and radiation will shrink these brain tumors more effectively and improve the chance of cure.
