Filter by:This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ascorbic acid when given together with bevacizumab in treating patients with high grade glioma that has come back (recurrent). Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Ascorbic acid contains ingredients that may prevent or slow the growth of high grade glioma. Giving bevacizumab and ascorbic acid together may work better in treating patients with high grade glioma.
The primary aim of this project is to Compare new msCS and standard DSC-PWI methods in GBM patients undergoing post-operative MRI for monitoring of tumor progression.
This is a multicenter, open-label, Phase 1/2, dose-escalation and dose expansion study of a CXCR4 inhibitor, USL311, alone and in combination with lomustine in subjects with advanced solid tumors (Phase 1) and subjects with relapsed/recurrent GBM (Phase 2). The study is designed to explore the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of USL311 alone and in combination with lomustine.
The standard therapy of glioblastoma (GBM) consists of gross total resection followed by focal irradiation to the tumor bed with concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide (TMZ). The association of valproic acid and TMZ during radiotherapy improves survival of GBM. Preclinical studies suggested that doxorubicin had a strong antineoplastic activity against human gliomas. Moreover, some studies showed that the continuous infusion of anthracyclines in patients with solid tumor ensured a better safety profile compared with bolus administration. Based on these findings, the purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of prolonged administration of doxorubicin in combination with radiotherapy, temozolomide and valproic acid in pediatric and adult patients with newly diagnosed GBM and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG).
This phase II trial will investigate the efficacy and safety of the addition of Optune (Tumor Treating Fields [TTFields] Therapy) to bevacizumab for patients with bevacizumab-refractory recurrent glioblastoma.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Heat Shock Protein Peptide Complex-96 (HSPPC-96) Vaccine is an feasible and safe treatment for pediatric patients with newly-diagnosed High-Grade Gliomas or recurrent, resectable High-Grade Gliomas and Ependymomas.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of rovalpituzumab tesirine in subjects with specific delta-like protein 3-expressing advanced solid tumors.
Please note that enrollment on this study terminated early due to the end of grant funding. Newly diagnosed WHO grade IV malignant glioma subjects who are eligible were enrolled following surgery to remove their brain tumor. They then underwent a leukapheresis to harvest cells for the generation of the study drug, Epidermal Growth Factor variant III Chimeric Antigen Receptor (EGFRvIII CAR) T cells prior to beginning standard of care (SOC) radiation therapy (RT) with temozolomide (TMZ). Once SOC RT with TMZ was completed, subjects returned for the post-RT brain imaging assessment, and, if stable, started post-RT TMZ cycles. Patients received up to 3 cycles of dose-intensified TMZ prior to receiving the EGFRvIII CAR T cells, which was infused in dose escalation cohorts. Following a one-month delay between cycles, the subject resumed post-RT cycles of TMZ and were monitored with blood work and brain imaging as per SOC. An expanded cohort of 12 subjects was originally planned for once the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) was reached in the dose escalation cohorts, in order to obtain a more precise estimate of the probability of unacceptable toxicity and to track the EGFRvIII CAR T cells using 111 Indium (111In) labeling. Computed Tomography (CT) was planned on days 1, 2, and 3 post-infusion to determine intracerebral (IC) localization.
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and deadliest primary malignant neoplasm of the central nervous system in adults. Despite an aggressive multimodality treatment approach including surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, overall survival remains poor. Novocure has shown that when properly tuned, very low intensity, intermediate frequency electric fields (TTFields) stunt the growth of tumor cells. The Optune system (NovoTTFTM Therapy) is a portable battery operated device, which produces TTFields within the human body by means of surface transducer arrays. The TTFields are applied to the patient by means of surface transducer arrays that are electrically insulated, so that resistively coupled electric currents are not delivered to the patient. Optune is currently FDA-approved as a single modality treatment for recurrent GBM when both surgical and radiotherapy options have been exhausted as well as combination with adjuvant temozolomide for newly diagnosed GBM. This research study is being performed to determine whether or not TTFields combined with pulsed bevacizumab treatment increases overall survival in patients with bevacizumab-refractory GBM compared to historical controls treated with continuous bevacizumab alone or in combination with other chemotherapy.
The objective of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of treatment with hypothyroxinemia adjunct to conventional therapies in GBM patients.
