Filter by:All patients will complete best standard of care radiation, temozolomide and bevacizumab (6 weeks). Within two weeks of completion of this initial treatment period, study patients will be fitted with the NovoTTF-100A System and treated continuously. They will be treated with TTFields for 12 months for an average of 18 hours per day. The patient may elect to take a treatment break for a total of 3 days per month, for each month and still be in compliance. This will consist of wearing four electrically insulated electrode arrays on the head. The patients will also continue with maintenance temozolomide/ bevacizumab.
This Phase II clinical trial is an open label, single arm, multicenter study of the combination of intravenously administered SGT-53 and oral temozolomide in patients with confirmed glioblastoma who have proven tumor recurrence or progression. The objective of this trial is to assess 6 month progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), anti-tumor activity, safety and possibly to evaluate, nanoparticle delivery to tumor site, and the induction of apoptosis in the tumor..
This study seeks to investigate if advanced image-analysis of diagnostic scans, can be used to predict how aggressive brain tumors (glioblastoma) respond to standard chemo- and radiation treatment.
A study of single-agent birabresib (MK-8628) (formerly known as OTX015) in recurrent GBM after standard front-line therapy failure. The first phase of the study (dose escalation) will determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). MTD assessment will be based using dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) observed during the first 28 days of treatment. The second phase of the study (expansion cohort) will assess efficacy as measured by the progression-free survival rate at 6 months (PFS-6) as determined by an independent central review committee.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of palbociclib isethionate in treating younger patients with central nervous system tumors that have grown, come back, or not responded to treatment. Palbociclib isethionate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This is a prospective, single-center, open-label, 3+3 dose escalation Phase 1 safety study. Adults with newly diagnosed GBM or gliosarcoma will receive macitentan in addition to the standard of care treatment for GBM. The study consists of a screening period, a treatment period, and a 30-day safety follow up period. The treatment period includes 6 weeks of concurrent therapy (macitentan+RT+TMZ), 4 weeks of monotherapy (macitentan) and 12 cycles of maintenance therapy (macitentan+TMZ). The study will end when the last treated subject has completed study treatment and the 30-day safety follow-up period. The planned duration of the study is approximately 34-38 months depending on the number of dose levels and cohorts of subjects enrolled. Subject participation in the study will be for approximately 16 months.
Chemotherapy used in the treatment of primitive tumors of the central nervous system has a particularly important platelet toxicity compared to chemotherapy used for treatment of other tumors. Chemotherapy postponed for toxicity is often due to thrombocytopenia (TP). The TP and/or the other anomalies of coagulation, which can be spontaneous (Rogers, 2004) or induced (Gerber, 2006) can have dramatic consequences: - specifically neurological (intratumoral bleeding with particularly important neovascularization) with a functional aggravation and sometimes involvement of vital prognosis, - digestive (Garcia-Rodiguez, 2001) in patients receiving long term treatment with corticoids (potential gastric toxicity). The encouraging results from the EORTC/NCIC trial by Stupp (median survival among patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma is 14.6 months with an estimated 5-year survival of 9, 8%), has changed the standard of care of these patients (Stupp et al., 2009). Patients with newly diagnosed, histologically confirmed glioblastoma receive radiotherapy (2 Gy given 5 days per week for 6 weeks, for a total of 60 Gy) plus continuous daily Temozolomide (75 mg per square meter of body-surface area per day, 7 days per week from the first to the last day of radiotherapy), followed by six cycles of adjuvant Temozolomide (TMZ) (150 to 200 mg per square meter for 5 days during each 28-day cycle). The Stupp regimen is currently the treatment of reference for glioblastoma and is used as a basis in various clinical studies with new agents. This study aims to evaluate Romiplostim for the treatment of TP secondary to initial TMZ chemotherapy of glioblastomas.
An Open-Label Phase 1 Pilot Study to determine the safety and feasibility of CART-EGFRvIII (autologous T cells transduced with a lentiviral vector to express a chimeric antigen receptor specific for EGFRvIII) in the treatment of patients with EGFRvIII+ glioblastoma who have had their first recurrence as determined by standard imaging or have have residual disease after initial resection.
It was previously shown that [18F]Fluorodopa (FDOPA) PET imaging results in intended management changes in 41% of brain tumor patients. However, its impact on patient outcome defined as survival, costs, and/or quality of life has not been demonstrated. Regulatory agencies require randomized trials to determine the impact of PET on patient management and outcome. In this study we hypothesize that the addition of FDOPA PET will improve patient outcome by more accurately identifying presence or absence of tumor recurrence than conventional imaging.
This clinical trial compares fluorine F 18 fluorodopa (18F FDOPA) positron emission tomography (PET) with standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in measuring tumors in patients with glioma that is newly diagnosed or recurrent (has returned). 18F FDOPA is a radioactive drug that binds to tumor cells and is captured in images by PET. Computed tomography (CT) and MRI are used with PET to describe information regarding the function, location, and size of the tumor. PET/CT or PET/MRI may be more accurate than standard MRI in helping doctors find and measure brain tumors.
