Filter by:Patients with glioblastoma, an aggressive brain tumor, are recommended to undergo treatment with tumor treating fields using the Optune device as part of standard of care therapy. While undergoing treatment, patients are monitored regularly with brain MRI scans to look for tumor progression, but there are currently no means to predict which, or when, patients will progress. The purpose of the current study is to prospectively analyze these MRI scans to look for subtle imaging markers that can predict for future brain tumor progression while undergoing tumor treating field therapy.
Study to assess the safety and efficacy of HSV-tk (gene therapy), valacyclovir, radiotherapy and chemotherapy in recurrent glioblastoma multiforme.
PreOperative Brain Irradiation in Glioblastoma (POBIG) is a phase I study that will test the safety and feasibility of a single fraction of preoperative radiotherapy in patients with a new radiological diagnosis of glioblastoma (GBM). After the single fraction of radiotherapy, patients will receive standard treatment. The standard treatment consists of resection of the tumor followed by (chemo)radiation (i.e. radiotherapy +/- daily temozolomide (75mg/m2) for 6 weeks (60Gy/30fr) or for 3 weeks (40Gy/15fr)).
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of VBI-1901 in subjects with recurrent malignant gliomas (glioblastoma, or GBM).
Glioblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor in adults. The primary treatment consists of maximal tumor removal followed by radiotherapy (RT) with concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide. Tumor recurrence after chemoradiotherapy has previously been shown to be predominantly within or at the margin of the irradiated volume, but distant failure are not rare, especially in patients with MGMT methylation.Traditionally, RT has been planned based on on planning CT with co-registered postoperative MRI, with the addition of a clinical target volume margin of 2-3 cm to account for infiltrative odema. To better characterize the disease, more specific physiological and/or metabolical markers of tumor cells, vascularization and hypoxia measured on multiparametric MRI as perfusion, diffusion and spectroscopy alongside with PET tracer like Fluoroéthyl-L-tyrosine ([18F]-FET) are now available and suggest that aggressive areas, like uptake of PET tracer and vascularity are present outside areas of contrast enhancement usually irradiated. These informations could be incorporated to optimize the treatment of radiotherapy.
Bevacizumab has become the standard of care of recurrent glioblastoma based on promising clinical trial results with with response rates up to 50% and progression-free survival up to 9 months. In our study, we set to find the serum angiogenesis biomarkers of bevacizumab response.
Simultaneous integrated boost (SIB), a field-in-field escalation technique, has been introduced to deliver higher radiation dose to the certain part of target with the same fractionation scheme. The aim of this study was to investigate the value of chemoradiation (CCRT) using SIB in glioblastoma and the correlation with surgical extent.
Notwithstanding major improvements in treatment modalities, the prognosis of patients with glioblastoma is poor. Hypofractionated radiation therapy as an alternative of the standard 6-week regimen could be an attractive approach as an effort to prevent tumor cell repopulation and reduction the total treatment period promoting patient comfort and convenience.
To assess: - efficacy of APL-101 as monotherapy for the treatment of NSCLC harboring MET Exon 14 skipping mutations, NSCLC harboring MET amplification, solid tumors harboring MET amplification, solid tumors harboring MET fusion, primary CNS tumors harboring MET alterations, solid tumors harboring wild-type MET with overexpression of HGF and MET - efficacy of APL-101 as an add-on therapy to EGFR inhibitor for the treatment of NSCLC harboring EGFR activating mutations and developed acquired resistance with MET amplification and disease progression after documented CR or PR with 1st line EGFR inhibitors (EGFR-I)
This research study is evaluating an investigational drug, an oncolytic virus called rQNestin34.5v.2. This research study is a Phase I clinical trial, which tests the safety of an investigational drug and also tries to define the appropriate dose of the investigational drug as a possible treatment for this diagnosis of recurrent or progressive brain tumor.
