Filter by:This study evaluates the addition of chlorpromazine to the first-line therapeutic protocol, i.e. maximal well-tolerated surgical resection followed by radiotherapy plus concomitant and adjuvant chemotherapy with temozolomide, in newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme patients carrying a hypo-methylated O6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) gene
This single center, single arm, open-label, phase I study will assess the safety of a laparoscopically harvested omental free flap into the resection cavity of recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patients. All participants included in the study will undergo standard surgical resection for diagnosed recurrent GBM. Following the resection, the surgical cavity will be lined with a laparoscopically harvested omental free flap. The participant's dura, bone and scalp will be closed as is customary. The participant will be followed for side effects within 72 hours, 7 days, 30 days, 90 days and 180 days. Risk assessment will include seizure, stroke, infection, tumor progression, and death.
This study aims to investigate effect of Nivolumab and Temozolomide vs Temozolomide alone on overall survival in newly diagnosed elderly patients with glioblastoma. Who is it for? You may be eligible to join this study if you are aged 65 years or above, with newly diagnosed histologically confirmed GBM (WHO grade IV glioma including gliosarcoma) following surgery. The study aims to evaluate whether the combination of adjuvant nivolumab with temozolomide improves overall survival outcomes for this patient population. The outcome of the study will help determine the most effective treatment for patients with glioblastoma in the future.
This study is a multicenter randomized double-blinded controlled phase 2 study evaluating the efficacy and safety of the anti-CMV drug valganciclovir vs placebo as add-on therapy in patients with glioblastoma. Valganciclovir is approved for treatment of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections, but may also have anti-tumoral effects. Current evidence imply that most glioblastomas are CMV positive and that the virus can affect tumor aggressiveness.
The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the addition of carvedilol with standard of care treatment to determine if it will improve progression-free survival in the front line setting in patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). In addition, monitoring of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) by a real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay to correlate with the clinical findings.
This phase I trial studies the side effects of stereotactic radiosurgery with MBG453 and spartalizumab in treating patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Stereotactic radiosurgery is a specialized radiation therapy that delivers a single, high dose of radiation directly to the tumor to more precisely target the cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as MBG453 and spartalizumab may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving stereotactic radiosurgery together with immunotherapy may be a better treatment for GBM.
The Phase II study to determine the safety and efficacy of V-Boost in treating a type of brain cancer called Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM). V-Boost is an immunotherapy in which the patient's immune system will be modulated to eliminate tumor cells. V-Boost is made as an oral tablet which contains specially formulated hydrolyzed GBM antigens along with alloantigens. Patients are either newly diagnosed or with recurrent form of GBM who may have been subjected to surgery and/or chemo- or radiation therapy that ended up unsuccessful. The goal is to eradicate GBM tumor cells through daily oral administration of one pill of V-Boost immunotherapeutic vaccine, which so far has not shown any adverse reaction.
This study is a clinical trial to determine the safety of inoculating G207 (an experimental virus therapy) into a recurrent or refractory cerebellar brain tumor. The safety of combining G207 with a single low dose of radiation, designed to enhance virus replication, tumor cell killing, and an anti-tumor immune response, will also be tested.

The PIONEER Initiative stands for Precision Insights On N-of-1 Ex vivo Effectiveness Research. The PIONEER Initiative is designed to provide access to functional precision medicine to any cancer patient with any tumor at any medical facility. Tumor tissue is saved at time of biopsy or surgery in multiple formats, including fresh and cryopreserved as a living biospecimen. SpeciCare assists with access to clinical records in order to provide information back to the patient and the patient's clinical care team. The biospecimen tumor tissue is stored in a bio-storage facility and can be shipped anywhere the patient and the clinical team require for further testing. Additionally, the cryopreservation of the biospecimen allows for decisions about testing to be made at a later date. It also facilitates participation in clinical trials. The ability to return research information from this repository back to the patient is the primary end point of the study. The secondary end point is the subjective assessment by the patient and his or her physician as to the potential benefit that this additional information provides over standard of care. Overall the goal of PIONEER is to enable best in class functional precision testing of a patient's tumor tissue to help guide optimal therapy (to date this type of analysis includes organoid drug screening approaches in addition to traditional genomic profiling).
This is a non-randomized, open label, phase I/IIa, dose-escalation study, involving a single injection of Temferon, an investigational advanced therapy consisting of autologous CD34+-enriched hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells exposed to transduction with a lentiviral vector driving myeloid specific interferon-alpha2 expression, which will be administered to up to 27 patients affected by GBM who have an unmethylated MGMT promoter. Part A will evaluate the safety and tolerability of 5 escalating doses of Temferon and 3 different conditioning regimens in up to 27 patients, following first line treatment.
