Filter by:The purpose of the study is to conduct research of a new PET radiopharmaceutical in cancer patients. The uptake of the novel radiopharmaceutical 18F-FPPRGD2 will be assessed in study participants with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), gynecological cancers, and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) who are receiving antiangiogenesis treatment.
To assess the efficacy of an Angiotensin-II inhibitor (Losartan) to reduce peritumoral edema in newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients.
This study is evaluating the safety and pharmacokinetics of ABT-414 in subjects with glioblastoma multiforme.
The study objectives are to assess the potential for PLX3397 to improve the efficacy of standard of care radiation therapy (RT) + temozolomide in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM).
The study is designed to evaluate how the composition of a participant's body, diagnosed with a brain tumor (glioblastoma multiforme) as determined by bioelectrical impedance analysis can predict the progression and outcomes of disease.
Hypothesis: The central hypothesis underlying the proposed research study is that FET-PET will predict durable benefit in patients receiving anti-angiogenic benefit for presumed recurrent GBM (i.e. progression-free survival and overall survival). We have defined one primary specific aim, for which we expect to obtain definitive results, and two secondary aims, under which we plan to generate preliminary data to support a future, larger project.
Increased glucose metabolism is characteristic for solid tumors. Thereby, glucose is important for the generation of ATP, supply of anabolic substrates and defense against reactive oxygen species in tumor cells. In preclinical models, restricting glucose availability using a ketogenic diet, calorie-restriction or transient fasting inhibits tumor growth. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to evaluate whether a calorie-restricted, ketogenic diet and transient fasting can enhance the efficacy of reirradiation in patients with recurrent glioblastoma.
This phase II trial studies how well dovitinib works in treating patients with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma. Dovitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth
Studies which have separately studied bevacizumab for recurrent gliomas and bevacizumab for newly-diagnosed glioma have shown good results and the regimens have been well-tolerated by patients. This study seeks to investigate the use of bevacizumab with the standard therapy (radiation therapy and temozolomide) in newly diagnosed patients, followed by bevacizumab and temozolomide with the continuation of bevacizumab following progression. Two critical questions remain- the role of bevacizumab maintenance and bevacizumab at the time of progression in a patient previously treated with bevacizumab at the time of initial diagnosis.
It has been shown that bevacizumab has significant anti-tumor activity in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme. Vorinostat has modest anti-tumor activity against malignant glioma and can enhance the action of both chemotherapy and anti-angiogenics. Patients will be treated with a combination of bevacizumab and vorinostat.
