Filter by:A proof-of-concept clinical trial assessing the safety of the coordinated undermining of survival paths by 9 repurposed drugs combined with metronomic temozolomide (CUSP9v3 treatment protocol) for recurrent glioblastoma
Patients may participate in this research study if they have glioblastoma. (a brain tumor) that has come back after being treated. Standard treatment for this cancer is a chemotherapy drug called bevacizumab. This research study involves bevacizumab in combination with a special diet called the Modified Atkins Diet (MAD). The purpose of this study is to research if patients can stay on the MAD when it is added to the standard bevacizumab treatment.
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary brain tumor in adults. Despite intensive research efforts and a multimodal management that actually consists of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy with temozolomide, the prognosis is dismal. The aim of the current observational study is to determine immune phenotypes in individual patients with GBM at the time of diagnosis and to correlate tumor size, location (imaging), tumor properties (isocitrate dehydrogenase - 1 (IDH-1), o6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status, etc.) with clinical data, such as progression free and overall survival, Karnofsky index (progression free survival (PFS),overall survival (OS), Karnofsky score( KFS)), with blood immune phenotypes, biomarkers, and immune histochemical results of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, macrophages, myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSC), etc.. The different immunological phenotypes could predict a positive response to specific immunological therapeutic strategies and select the individual therapeutic plan for an individual GBM patient.
This is a phase 1/2, uncontrolled, open-label, multicenter study in patients with recurrent and relapsed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, glioblastoma, or grade III or IV glioma.
The purpose of this study: Determining the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD), Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT), pharmacokinetics characteristic, and dosage regimen of phase II/III of Chlorogenic acid for injection in the advanced Glioblastoma Patients ;
The purpose of this study is to assess whether the use of genomics can help identify patient specific treatment choices in cancer. In order to test this, the investigators plan to use genomic sequencing technology to identify patient specific mutations in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) as compared to normal cells to identify mutations. Further analysis will identify potential treatment targets and whether there are any drugs that could be used for these particular mutations. Follow up clinical data will be assessed to see if this individualized method of choosing treatment options can improve clinical outcomes in patients with GBM.
VXM01 phase I pilot study in patients with operable recurrence of a glioblastoma to examine safety, tolerability, immune and biomarker response to the investigational VEGFR-2 DNA vaccine VXM01
Dendritic cell-based cellular vaccine for tumor therapy has shown efficacy. This study is designed to perform a personalized clinical trial by first analyzing the expression of tumor associated antigens in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma and then immunizing the patients with personalized DC-based cellular vaccine. Immune responses to tumor antigens will be monitored. Safety and efficacy will be observed in the study.
Background: A glioblastoma is a tumor in the brain. It is treated with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. However, most people s tumors come back after therapy. When the tumor grows back, surgery or chemotherapy may not be possible or may no longer work. Repeat radiation therapy or re-irradiation, is an option for treating these tumors when they regrow. Objective: To find out the safety and highest tolerated dose of re-irradiation for people who have recurrent glioblastoma. Eligibility: People ages 18 50 who have glioblastoma that has been treated with radiation but has regrown. Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam MRI of the brain: They will lie in a machine that takes pictures of the brain. Participants will have baseline tests before they start therapy. These will include: Blood tests Neuropsychological tests: These test things like memory, attention, and thinking. Quality of life questionnaire Eye and hearing tests Participants will get a CT of the brain prior to radiation start in order to plan the radiation treatment. Once the plan is completed, they will receive radiation once a day Monday Friday for a total of 10 17 treatments. They will lie on their back for about 10 minutes while they get the treatment. Participants will be monitored for side effects. After they finish treatment, participants will have visits 1, 2, and 3 months later. Then they will have them every 2 months for 3 years. These will include: Medical history Physical exam Blood tests MRI of the brain. Quality of life questionnaire Neuropsychological tests (at some visits) After 3 years, participants will be contacted by phone each month.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether bevacizumab and nimustine are effective in the treatment of recurrent high grade glioma and to explore whether there is any subgroup being sensitive to this therapeutic protocol.
