Filter by:This is a randomized, two-arm, open-label, phase 0 trial to assess intratumoral pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of niraparib in subjects with progressive IDH1 or IDH2 mutant glioma. - This research study involves an experimental treatment called Niraparib.
This clinical trial studies the side effects of temporally-modulated pulsed radiation therapy (TMPRT) in patients with IDH-mutant gliomas who have previously received radiation therapy to the brain. TMPRT is a radiation technique in which radiation is delivered in multiple small doses on a specific timed interval, instead of delivering one large dose at one time. This technique may improve efficacy while reducing toxicity and improving patient quality of life.
This is a treatment clinical trial to assess the efficacy of ERC1671 in combination with bevacizumab and pembrolizumab in patients with GBM that has progressed following treatment with radiation and temozolomide. Patients will have surgery to collect the maximum amount of GBM tissue that can be reasonably collected. This tissue will be used to manufacturer ERC1671 for the patient. The patients will receive ERC1671 in combination with GM-CSF and cyclophosphamide, in combination with bevacizumab and pembrolizumab.
The treatment of patients with World Health Organization (WHO) grade 4 malignant glioma has not seen any significant breakthrough the past years. Following surgery and radio / chemotherapy patients still experience a very high recurrence risk and the prognosis is dismal. The investigators observed patients with grade IV malignant glioma receiving individualized treatment based on their molecular profile including fully personalized vaccines.
This is a phase 1b study of P30-linked EphA2, CMV pp65, and survivin vaccination (collectively called the P30-EPS vaccine) in HLA-A*0201 positive patients with a newly diagnosed, unmethylated, and untreated World Health Organization (WHO) grade IV malignant glioma.
Primary brain cancer kills up to 10,000 Americans a year. These 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. The investigators have completed a Phase I clinical trial that has shown that Superselective Intraarterial Cerebral Infusion (SIACI) of Bevacizumab (BV) is safe up to a dose of 15mg/kg in patients with recurrent malignant glioma. Additionally, the investigators have shown in a recently completed Phase I/II clinical trial, that SIACI BV improves the median progression free survival (PFS) from 4-6 months to 11.5 months and overall survival (OS) from 12-15 months to 23 months in patients with newly diagnosed GBM. Therefore, this two-arm, randomized trial (2:1) is a follow up study to these trials and will ask simple questions: Will this repeated SIACI treatment regimen increase progression free survival (PFS-primary endpoint) and overall survival (OS-secondary endpoint) when compared with standard of care in patients with newly diagnosed GBM? Exploratory endpoints will include adverse events and safety analysis as well as quality of life (QOL) assessments. The investigators expect that this project will provide important information regarding the utility of repeated SIACI BV therapy for newly diagnosed GBM and may alter the way these drugs are delivered to our patients in the near future.
The most aggressive primary brain tumors in adults, glioblastomas, are characterized by a profound local and systemic immune suppression. During tumor progression, the infiltration of inflammatory leukocytes, especially of myeloid origin, endowed with immunosuppressive function is observed. Aim of this study is to evaluate myeloid cell infiltrate and iron metabolism in tumor-associated macrophages by combining a multimodal MRI imaging technique with immunophenotyping of the tumor microenvironment.
A study is being performed to observe whether a novel type of brain imaging using a technique called PET-MRI may provide useful information in the 'mapping' of adult primary brain tumours. It employs a radiolabelled molecule targeting a particular molecule called PSMA which is hypothesised to be a marker of aggression in primary brain tumours. 'Mapping' of the concentration and distribution of this molecule within brain tumours via PET-MRI may provide vital clinical information regarding the extent and timing of treatment.
Glioblastoma is a highly aggressive and fatal form of primary malignant brain tumor with limited treatment options. fb-PMT affects a large group of cancer cell signaling pathways and thus may be effective in heterogeneous, treatment-resistant tumors such as Glioblastoma. fb-PMT also is actively transported across the blood-brain barrier into the brain. This study is being conducted to determine the dose level for further clinical development of fb-PMT to treat recurrent Glioblastoma.
This is an open-label, single-center Phase 0/1b study that will enroll at least 17 participants with recurrent WHO Grade 4 Glioma requiring re-radiation and approximately 20 participants with newly-diagnosed WHO Grade 4 glioma (nGBM). The trial will be composed of a Phase 0 component (subdivided into Arms A- C), and an expansion Phase 1b. Patients with tumors demonstrating a positive PK response in the Phase 0 component of the study will graduate to an expansion phase that combines therapeutic dosing of AZD1390 plus standard-of-care fractionated radiotherapy (RT).
