Filter by:This study of DSF-Cu in combination with TMZ for recurrent GBM will evaluate the antitumor effect in patients who have recurrent GBM. Patients will take DSF-Cu daily during their routine standard of care with TMZ therapy for approximately 6 months. Patients will be evaluated for response every 8 weeks. Patients will be followed up 2 years after the last dose of DSF-Cu.
Study Design - Multicenter, open-label, 3 arms, stepwise, phase Ⅱa clinical trial Study objective: 1. Primary - To evaluate the safety of TTAC-0001 in patients with recurrent glioblastoma. 2. Secondary - To determine the efficacy of TTAC-0001 in patients with recurrent glioblastoma. 3. Exploratory - To evaluate pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of TTAC-0001 in patients with recurrent glioblastoma - To evaluate pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters by clinical biomarker test Study Methodology Patients will be sequentially enrolled from the 1st arm. An enrollment criterion to the next arm is defined as no patients in the previous treatment arm showing grade ≥3 of hemangioma or other Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT). A safety review committee (SRC) will convene to determine the patient's safety with a decision on enrollment into the next arm or change in dosing frequency of study drug in the above case. A patient who is withdrawn from the study before the completion of the 1st cycle can be replaced with another patient. Patients will be treated for up to 1 year, unless a cause for termination occurs, such as progression of disease (PD) or the withdrawal of consent.
Background: The brain is separated from the rest of the blood stream by the blood-brain barrier. This is like a filter that protects the brain. But is also a challenge when medicines need to get into the brain. Researchers want to give the new drug LB100 to people before brain tumor surgery. They will measure how much LB100 is in the blood and how much gets into the brain. This may help with the use of LB100 to treat brain tumors in the future. Objective: To see if LB100 can pass into the brain. Eligibility: People at least 18 years old with a brain tumor that requires surgery. Design: Participants will be screened with: Physical exam Medical history Blood tests Neurosurgery evaluation Scans Heart tests Tumor sample. This can be from a previous procedure. Participants will have their brain surgery at the Clinical Center. Participants will get a dose of the study drug through a plastic tube in a vein for 2 hours during surgery. Participants will have blood taken 7 times in the 8 hours after getting the study drug. Tumor samples will be taken during surgery. Participants will have a heart test after getting the study drug. Sticky pads on the skin will measure electrical activity of the heart. Two-three weeks after leaving the hospital, participants will have a follow-up visit. They will have a physical exam and blood tests. One month after surgery, they will be contacted in person or by phone to see how they are doing.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ubidecarenone injectable nanosuspension (BPM31510) in treating patients with high-grade glioma (anaplastic astrocytoma or glioblastoma) that has come back and have been previously treated with bevacizumab. BPM31510 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety of the study drug, NU-0129, based on Spherical Nucleic Acid (SNA) platform when infused in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme or gliosarcoma. The SNA consists of nucleic acids arranged on the surface of a small spherical gold nanoparticle. This is a first-in-human trial to determine the safety of NU-0129. NU-0129 can cross the blood brain barrier (a filtering mechanism that carry blood to the brain). Once within the tumor, the nucleic acid component is able to target a gene called Bcl2L12 that is present in glioblastoma multiforme, and is associated with tumor growth. This gene prevents tumor cells from apoptosis, which is the process of programmed cell death, thus promoting tumor growth. Researchers think that targeting the Bcl2L12 gene with NU-0129 will help stop cancer cells from growing.
Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) refers to a specific kind of brain cancer called glioblastoma. The standard treatment for GBM is radiation plus temozolomide, an oral chemotherapy drug. Pembrolizumab is an immune therapy that is now used to treat other cancers. The addition of pembrolizumab to the standard treatment of radiation and temozolomide has been shown to be well tolerated. Researchers want to see if adding a vaccine made from the person's own tumor will improve the effect of the pembrolizumab. The vaccine which is developed from fresh tumor taken at the time of surgery is called heat shock protein peptide complex-96 (HSPPC-96). Objectives: To see if the adding of pembrolizumab and HSPPC-96 improves the standard treatment for glioblastoma. Eligibility: Adults at least 18 years old with glioblastoma. Design: Participants will be screened with typical cancer tests: Brain scan Medical history Blood and urine tests Questions about quality of life and symptoms These tests will be repeated throughout the study. Participants will have surgery to remove their tumor. A tissue sample from the tumor will be sent to a lab. A vaccine will be made from it. Some participants will get pembrolizumab and vaccine. Some will get pembrolizumab and placebo. Participants will not know which they get. Participants will get radiation for 6 weeks. Participants will take temozolomide by mouth before each treatment. Participants will get pembrolizumab by intravenous (IV) for 30 minutes 3 times over the radiation cycle. Participants will keep taking the 2 drugs every few weeks for about a year. Some may take pembrolizumab for an additional year. Most participants will get the vaccine or placebo after radiation. They will get it 5 times over 6 weeks. Some participants will continue to get the vaccine every few weeks for 1 or 2 years. Participants will repeat the screening tests when they stop study treatment. They will also have follow-up phone calls.
This is a multi-institutional, consortium-based, non-interventional prospective blinded endpoints clinical study to determine whether high activity of Cytochrome C Oxidase (CcO) in tumor specimens from subjects with newly diagnosed primary GBM is associated with shortened OS (primary outcome) and PFS (secondary outcome) times.
The purpose of this study is to test how safe and effective treatment with the combination of Avelumab and radiation is for IDH mutant gliomas that have transformed to glioblastoma after chemotherapy.
The Engagement of Patients with Advanced Cancer is an intervention that utilizes well-trained lay health coaches to engage patients and their families in goals of care and shared decision-making after a diagnosis of advanced cancer. Although lay health workers have never been tested in this role, we hypothesize that lay health workers can feasibly improve goals of care documentation and help to reduce unwanted healthcare utilization at the end of life for Veterans diagnosed with new advanced stages of cancer and those diagnosed with recurrent disease.
Background: Zotiraciclib (TG02) is an investigational drug that penetrates the blood-brain barrier and might treat brain tumors. Temozolomide (TMZ) is a drug used to treat brain tumors. Objective: To find out if Zotiraciclib (TG02) is safe, and to find out if it in combination with TMZ is as effective as TMZ alone in people with brain tumors. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with a brain tumor that has progressed after standard treatment Design: In phase I part, the Bayesian optimal interval (BOIN) design will be used to find the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Zotiraciclib (TG02) for Arm 1 (dose dense TMZ) and Arm 2 (metronomic TMZ) independently. Then a randomized cohort expansion compared progression free survival at 4 months (PFS4) of the two arms for an efficient determination of a TMZ schedule to combine with Zotiraciclib at MTD. In Phase II part, a Bayesian design based on posterior probability will be used to monitor efficacy. Participants will be screened with: - Medical history - Physical exam - Blood and urine tests - Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain if they have not had one in 14 days - Heart test - Tissue sample from prior surgeries Participants will take Zotiraciclib (TG02) plus TMZ by mouth in 28-day cycles. - Some will take TMZ for 7 days on and 7 days off. Others will take it every day. - They will all take Zotiraciclib (TG02) three days before Cycle 1, and then on four days during every cycle. - They will all get treatment to prevent vomiting and diarrhea before and for 24 hours after each Zotiraciclib (TG02) dose. - They will all keep a diary of when they take the drugs and their symptoms. Participants will have study visits. These include: - Physical exam, heart test, quality of life questionnaire, brain MRI, and urine tests every 4 weeks - Blood tests every 2 weeks Participants will continue treatment until their disease gets worse or they have intolerable side effects. Participants will also be enrolled in another protocol to test molecular markers for their brain tumor.
