Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether use of an ultra-high sensitivity camera with enhanced imaging technology can be used during surgery to detect areas of brain tissue affected by diffuse glioma, a type of brain cancer.
At the time of study termination, NUV-422-02 was a first-in-human, open-label, Phase 1 dose escalation study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NUV-422. The study population comprised adults with recurrent or refractory high-grade gliomas (HGGs), metastatic breast cancer (mBC), with and without brain metastases, and recurrent or refractory metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). All patients self-administered NUV-422 orally in 28-day cycles until disease progression, toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or termination of the study.
This trial is an open-label, multicenter, Phase 0 trial that will enroll up to 20 participants with recurrent high-grade glioma with FGFR1 K656E or FGFR3 K650E mutation or FGFR3-TACC3 translocation which are scheduled for resection. In the lead-in cohort, a total of 20 participants will be enrolled into the proposed phase 0 clinical trial. Participants will be administered infigratinib prior to surgical resection of their tumor.
This research study is evaluating the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of the drugs marizomib and panobinostat in pediatric patients with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG). The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: - Marizomib - Panobinostat
This is a multicenter, open-label, continuation study to allow subjects who have previously received Toca 511 to continue to receive Toca FC and to allow for extended safety observations. Subjects will be seen on an every six week basis for 1 year or longer. Subjects who continue to receive Toca FC will receive the dose described in the "parent" protocol. If the Toca FC dose is adjusted for any reason, the serum concentration will be monitored. Gadolinium (Gd)-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans will be performed as per standard of care. If the subject has recurred/progressed, repeat intracranial injection of Toca 511 followed by Toca FC treatment may be offered to consenting patients. Subjects who enter the study to continue Toca FC and subsequently discontinue Toca FC, and subjects who are only willing or able to perform limited testing will have viral testing alone, at the appropriate intervals. After the first year, subjects will be seen twice yearly for the next 4 years and then contacted yearly for the next 10 years. All subjects will be followed on study for at least 5 years regardless of whether they are taking Toca FC.
enroll patients with histologically confirmed high-grade gliomas to evaluate the ability of regadenoson to transiently disrupt a relatively intact blood-brain barrier (BBB). determine the best dose of regadenoson to disrupt the BBB and allow for enhanced penetration of gadolinium during MRI.
The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with Topotecan by an alternative method, delivering topotecan directly into brain tumors, is safe and well tolerated.
This research is being done to study the pattern of changes in various parts of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies that patients have done to help plan their radiation therapy and to evaluate the effects of therapy. The MRI of the brain is one of the major ways a participant's doctors determine how to treat a participant's tumor and if the participant's tumor is growing or not. In this study the investigators want to learn if new sequences added to the MRI that the investigators are already getting to guide partipants' radiation treatment can be analyzed to help make better treatment decisions. MRI sequences that examine the composition and structure of the tissues in the brain in a different way will be obtained. These are called called Amide Proton Transfer (APT) and Diffusion Weighted MRI. These scans will first be performed at the time of participants' radiation plannings scan done before treatment and near the end of the course of radiation treatments. This will allow the study team to investigate if there are changes in these sequences before radiation treatment and to see if using these MRI studies will allow us to better plan radiation treatments for patients in the future. This pre-treatment scan will be done at the same time as participants' standard radiation planning MRI, but will cause the scan to take longer. Participants will also have an extra MRI during one of the last 5 days of the planned 28-33 radiation treatments that are standardly used. This additional scan will not include administration of injected contrast agents, and would occur on a day when participants are also coming in for radiation. This scan will be compared with the first scan. The investigators will determine whether these changes may predict later long term outcome of treatment for patients. Patients who enroll in this study will get all of the standard therapy they would get for their tumor whether or not they participate in this study. There is no extra or different therapy given. The investigators anticipate that the radiation treatment volumes created using APT will largely overlap with the conventional plan but will be distinct at the margins. Disease failure is more likely to occur in areas with APT abnormalities suggestive of active tumor. In patients that have failure outside the contrast enhancing area, the region of failure will be predicted by regions of increased APT activity. Current MRI sequences do not allow for prediction of regions of recurrence or progression, or distinguish between tumor, pressure, or surgical injury as the cause of FLAIR/T2 abnormalities.

Current MRI sequences do not allow for prediction of regions of recurrence or progression, or distinguish between tumor, pressure, or surgical injury as the cause of FLAIR/T2 abnormalities. Volume containing elevated APT signal may be associated with outcome (survival). In an exploratory analysis, the investigators will evaluate whether there are characteristic patterns that should be prospectively studied in a larger trial.
The 1635-EORTC-BTG study - Wait or Treat - concerns patients that represent a clinically favorable group of patients with IDHmutated astrocytoma (oligo-symptomatic), without a need for immediate post-operative treatment. It will establish whether early adjuvant treatment with radiotherapy and adjuvant temozolomide in resected IDHmutated astrocytoma will improve outcome, and whether benefits of early treatment outweigh potential side-effects of that, such as deterioration in neurocognitive function or Quality of Live, seizure activity and Patient Reported outcome compared to active surveillance.
This is an exploratory, translational and non-interventional clinical study. The aim of this study is to identify a blood biomarker signature for glioma.
