Filter by:This phase II trial studies how well fluorodopa F 18-positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging scan (18F-DOPA-PET/MRI) works in imaging elderly patients with newly diagnosed grade IV malignant glioma or glioblastoma during planning for a short course of proton beam radiation therapy. 18F-DOPA is a chemical tracer that highlights certain cells during imaging. PET scan, is a metabolic imaging technique which takes advantage of how tumor cells take up nutrients differently than normal tissue. MRI scans are used to guide radiation therapy for most brain tumors. Hypofractionated proton beam therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may kill more tumor cells and have fewer side effects. Using 18FDOPA-PET scans along with MRI scans may be able to provide the radiation doctor with information on tumor tissue versus normal, healthy tissue and may help the doctor more accurately plan the radiation treatment.
This study will be conducted as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center Phase 3 study. Approximately 300 subjects with newly diagnosed glioblastoma who meet all eligibility criteria will be enrolled.
This pro - and retrospective multicenter clinical epidemiological study studies the molecular genetic, host-derived and clinical determinants of glioblastoma patients with an overall survival of more than 5 years. The different research focusses are: - Identification of clinical parameters and patient characteristics / host-related factors in long-term survivors (Focus 1) - Identification of molecular tumor characteristics in long-term survivors (Focus 2) - Assessment of therapy-related parameters, including neuro-toxicity (Focus 3) - Immunological studies (Focus 4)
Recurrent glioblastoma (GBM) is a disease with high unmet clinical need. The standard of care for patients with GBM includes surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Despite this aggressive treatment, the overall median survival of patients with GBM remains at 15-20 months. In more than 95% of cases, tumor recurrence is observed within 2 cm to 3 cm of the resection cavity within 4-7 months after initial treatments. One of the main causes of recurrence is the inability of chemotherapies to enter the brain from the systemic circulation due to the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The BBB is unique to cerebral blood vessels and blocks most drugs from entering the brain in sufficient concentrations. The SonoCloud-9 (SC9) System delivers ultrasound to locally and transiently increase the permeability of the BBB to allow the passage of drugs into the cerebral parenchyma. The SC9 is dimensioned to cover the resection area and surrounding tissues in patients with recurrent GBM. The large sonicated volume covered by the SC9 device allows for broad BBB disruption and should allow for carboplatin chemotherapy to penetrate the surrounding tumor infiltrative area. By enhancing drug concentrations, it is hypothesized that further disease progression will be prevented.
This is an open-label, phase 1 study to assess the safety and tolerability of EGFRvIII T cells in combination with pembrolizumab (PD-1 Inhibitor) in patients with newly diagnosed, EGFRvIII+, MGMT-unmethylated glioblastoma.
Hyperfractionated radiation therapy (RT) to 72.0 Gy with BCNU will be compared to conventional radiation therapy to 60.0 Gy with BCNU to determine if hyperfractionated RT can improve the median survival time of adults with supratentorial malignant gliomas.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of the ExAblate Model 4000 Type 2.0 used as a tool to disrupt the BBB in patients with Glioblastoma undergoing standard of care therapy.
Despite advances in neurosurgery , radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the median survival in GBM patients is only 15 months from diagnosis. Immunotherapy by checkpoint inhibitors (PD1 /PDL-1) appears as a promising treatment for many cancers. However, first clinical results are disappointing for GBM. An hypothesis is the immunosuppressive activity from infiltrating non-tumor cells. Conversion of non-tumor cells from an immunosuppressive to an immuno-activating phenotype could be attempted in a therapeutic perspective.
This Phase 1/2 study will evaluate the safety, efficacy, PK, and PD of FT-2102 as a single agent and in combination with other anti-cancer drugs in patients with advanced solid tumors and gliomas. The study is divided into two parts: single agent FT-2102 followed by combination therapy. Part 1: A single agent, open-label study in up to five cohorts (glioma, hepatobiliary tumors, chondrosarcoma, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, and other IDH1 mutant solid tumors) that will include a Phase 1 dose confirmation followed by a Phase 2 investigation of clinical activity in up to 4 cohorts. During the dose confirmation, additional doses or altered dose schedules may be explored. Part 2: An open-label study of FT-2102 in combination with other anti-cancer agents. Patients will be enrolled across 4 different disease cohorts, examining the effect of FT-2102 + azacitidine (glioma and chondrosarcoma), FT-2102 + nivolumab (hepatobiliary tumors), and FT-2102 + gemcitabine/cisplatin (intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma). There will be a safety lead-in followed by a Phase 2 evaluation in up to four cohorts of patients.
This research study involves an investigational product: Ad-RTS-hIL-12 given with veledimex for production of human IL-12. IL-12 is a protein that can improve the body's natural response to disease by enhancing the ability of the immune system to kill tumor cells and may interfere with blood flow to the tumor. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single intratumoral injection of Ad-RTS-hIL-12 given with oral veledimex.
