Filter by:This is an open-label, Phase I, dose escalation study to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose, maximum tolerated dose, and evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetic profile of ABBV-221 in participants with advanced solid tumors likely to exhibit elevated levels of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR).
A study of single-agent birabresib (MK-8628) (formerly known as OTX015) in recurrent GBM after standard front-line therapy failure. The first phase of the study (dose escalation) will determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). MTD assessment will be based using dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) observed during the first 28 days of treatment. The second phase of the study (expansion cohort) will assess efficacy as measured by the progression-free survival rate at 6 months (PFS-6) as determined by an independent central review committee.
It was previously shown that [18F]Fluorodopa (FDOPA) PET imaging results in intended management changes in 41% of brain tumor patients. However, its impact on patient outcome defined as survival, costs, and/or quality of life has not been demonstrated. Regulatory agencies require randomized trials to determine the impact of PET on patient management and outcome. In this study we hypothesize that the addition of FDOPA PET will improve patient outcome by more accurately identifying presence or absence of tumor recurrence than conventional imaging.
The overall purpose of the study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of ALECSAT in patients with relapse of GlioBlastoma Multiforme (GBM) after first line treatments (followed by reoperation if possible). The efficacy and safety of ALECSAT treatment is, compared to standard Bevacizumab/Irinotecan second line treatments for these patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and efficacy of TPI 287 in combination with Avastin (bevacizumab) in subjects who have glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) that has progressed following prior radiation and temozolomide (TMZ) therapy and that has progressed following prior bevacizumab therapy.
DC vaccine manufactured and partially matured using our standard operating procedures, developed in collaboration with the HGG Immuno Group, then administered through imiquimod treated skin will be safe and feasible in children with refractory brain tumors. This will result in anti-tumor immunity that will prolong survival of subjects treated and results will be consistent with the outcomes found for subjects treated by HGG Immuno Group investigators. Study treatment will correlate with laboratory evidence of immune activation. Correlative studies will also reveal targets in the immune system which can be exploited to improve response for patients on successor trials.
Central nervous system (CNS) malignancies are the second most common malignancy and the most common solid tumor of childhood, including adolescence. Annually in the United States, approximately 2,200 children are diagnosed with CNS malignancy and rates appear to be increasing. CNS tumors are the leading cause of death from solid tumors in children. Survival duration after diagnosis in children is highly variable depending in part on age at diagnosis, location of tumor, and extent of resection; however, most children with high grade glioma die within 3 years of diagnosis. All patients with high grade glioma experience a recurrence after first-line therapy, so improvements in both first-line and salvage therapy are critical to enhancing quality-of-life and prolonging survival. It is unknown if currently used intravenous (IV) therapies even cross the blood brain barrier (BBB). We have shown in previous phase I trials that a single Superselective Intra-arterial Cerebral Infusion (SIACI) of Cetuximab and/or Bevacizumab is safe for the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) in adults, and we are currently evaluating the efficacy of this treatment. Therefore, this phase I/II clinical research trial is an extension of that trial in that we seek to test the hypothesis that intra-arterial Cetuximab and Bevacizumab is safe and effective in the treatment of relapsed/refractory glioma in patients <22 years of age. We expect that this project will provide important information regarding the utility of SIACI Cetuximab and Bevacizumab therapy for malignant glioma in patients <22 years of age and may alter the way these drugs are delivered to our patients in the near future.
Background: - Glioblastoma is an aggressive type of brain cancer that often resists treatment. TRC105 is an experimental drug that blocks the growth of new blood vessels. It is being studied for possible use in treating different kinds of cancer. Researchers want to see if TRC105 can be used to treat glioblastoma that has not responded to standard treatments. Objectives: - To test the safety and effectiveness of TRC105 in adults who have glioblastoma that has not responded to standard treatments. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have glioblastoma that has not responded to standard treatments. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will be collected. Imaging studies and other tests will be used to study the tumor before the start of treatment. - Participants will have 28-day (4-week) cycles of treatment. - Participants will have TRC105 intravenously once a week. The first infusion will take about 4 hours. The length of time needed for the infusion may be slowly reduced if it is well tolerated. - At the end of the first cycle (the first 4 weeks), the imaging studies will be repeated before continuing TRC105. - Participants will take TRC105 for as long as the tumor does not grow and the side effects are not too severe. They will have imaging studies at the end of every cycle to evaluate the tumor.
Patients with glioblastoma at first or second progression who have failed standard treatment that must have included radiochemotherapy with temozolomide and who are a candidate for a reirradiation can be included into the trial. In the phase I part the minimal tolerated dose (MTD)of BIBF 1120 in combination with radiotherapy will be investigated. Subjects in phase II will be randomised to receive reirradiation alone or reirradiation + 2 x MTD BIBF1120.
The purpose of the study is to determine the effectiveness of an investigational drug called lucanthone, when combined with temozolomide (TMZ) and radiation in the treatment of Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM).
