Filter by:Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-modified T cells can mediate long-term durable remissions in recurrent or refractory CD19+ B cell malignancies, and are a promising therapy to treat glioblastoma, which is the most dangerous and aggressive form of brain cancer. EGFRvIII mutation (epidermal growth factor receptor variant III, EGFRvIII) is the results of tumor specific gene rearrangement naturally happened in about 30% of glioblastoma patients and produces a mutated protein with neo-antigen that is tumor specific and is not expressed in normal human tissues. Therefore, EGFRvIII is an attractive target for CAR T cell therapy. We have constructed a lentiviral vector that contains a chimeric antigen receptor that recognizes the EGFRvIII tumor antigen. A truncated EGFR (tEGFR) which lacks of the ligand binding domain and cytoplasmic kinase domain of wildtype EGFR is incorporated into the CAR vector and is used for in vivo tracking and ablation of CAR T cells in necessary. This pilot study is to determine the safety and efficacy of autologous anti-EGFRvIII CAR T cells in patients with recurrent glioblastoma.
Primary brain tumors are typically treated by surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, either individually or in combination. Present therapies are inadequate, as evidenced by the low 5-year survival rate for brain cancer patients, with median survival at approximately 12 months. Glioma is the most common form of primary brain cancer, afflicting approximately 7,000 patients in the United States each year. These highly malignant cancers remain a significant unmet clinical need in oncology. GBM often has a high expression of EFGR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor), which is associated with poor prognosis. Several methods of inhibiting this receptor have been tested, including monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, and tyrosine kinase inhibitors. The investigators hypothesize that in patients with recurring GBM, intracranial superselective intra-arterial infusion of Cetuximab (CTX), at a dose of 250mg/m2 in conjunction with hypofractionated radiation, will be safe and efficacious and prevent tumor progression in patients with recurrent, residual GBM.
The purpose of the Cerebral EDV study is to determine the safety and tolerability of EGFR(V)-EDV-Dox in order to establish the best dose level to be used in future studies. The study will also examine the body's immune response to EGFR(V)-EDV-Dox and assess if it is effective in the treatment of patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).
This multi-center randomized controlled phase II trial will investigate the impact of stereotactic fractionated radiotherapy to the resection cavity of complete resected recurrent glioblastoma on progression free survival. As secondary endpoints, overall survival, safety and toxicity as well as early response criteria on MRI, quality of life and neurocognitive function will be assessed. Chemotherapy will not be part of the protocol, however, additional treatment will be possible upon investigators best choice.
This multi-site, Phase 1/2a clinical trial is an open label study to identify the safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of a repeated dose regimen of NEO100 (perillyl alcohol) for the treatment of patients with radiographically-confirmed progression of Grade IV glioma or recurrent primary or secondary Grade IV glioma or patients with progressed or recurrent Grade III glioma. The study will have two phases, Phase 1 and Phase 2a. Phase 1 is a standard cohort dose escalation 3+3 design used to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for Phase 2a. Fifteen (15) patients were enrolled into the Phase I portion of the clinical trial. The MTD for NEO100 was not reached in humans. As a result the NEO100 dose for Cohort 4 (288 mg/dose - 1152 mg/day) was carried into the Phase 2a portion of the clinical trial. Four (4) patients were enrolled into this study prior to implementation of implementation of version 10 of the clinical trial restricting the Phase 2a population to patients with progressive or recurrent primary or secondary Grade IV gliomas expressing IDH1 mutations or progressive or recurrent primary or secondary Grade IV gliomas expressing IDH1 mutations. None of the four (4) patients expressed IDH1 mutations. There will be 28 patients with progressive or recurrent primary or secondary Grade IV gliomas expressing IDH1 mutations or progressive or recurrent primary or secondary Grade IV gliomas expressing IDH1 mutations enrolled in Phase 2a of the clinical trial. Prior to implementing v10 of this protocol, four (4) patients were enrolled. These patients met the inclusion/exclusion criteria for v9 of the protocol and had wild type IDH1 status. For both phases of the study, NEO100 will be self-administered four times daily for a 28-day treatment cycle up to six treatment cycles until disease progression or death, whichever occurs first. At the completion of cycle six, patients will be given the option to continue receiving compassionate use treatment cycles.
INTRAGO II resembles a multicentric, prospective, randomized, 2-arm, open-label clinical phase III trial which tests if the median progression-free survival (PFS) of patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) can be improved by the addition of intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) to standard radiochemotherapy.
Phase II Trial of Hypofractionated Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy(IMRT) With Temozolomide and Granulocyte-macrophage Colony-stimulating Factor(GM-CSF) for Patients With Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma Multiforme.
In this phase I/II trial, the primary objective is to determine overall and progression-free survival of patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma when autologous Wilms' tumor 1 (WT1) messenger (m)RNA-loaded dendritic cell (DC) vaccination is added to adjuvant temozolomide maintenance treatment following (sub)total resection and temozolomide-based chemoradiation.
This study is being conducted to help determine whether β-elemene as maintain treatment for complete remission patients of newly diagnosed malignant gliomas following standard treatment, is able to delay tumor growth, or impact how long people with newly diagnosed high-grade glioma.
This clinical trial studies advanced MR imaging techniques in measuring early response of standard treatment may become predictors of long-term treatment response in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastomas.
