Filter by:This is a Phase 2, multicenter, open label, two parts, clinical study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and PK of safusidenib. Patients with recurrent or progressive histologically confirmed IDH1 mutant WHO Grade 2/3 glioma10 outside Japan, will be enrolled in this study. It was divided into 2 parts. Part 1: Up to 25 patients will be randomized 1:1:1:1:1 (5 patients per group) to receive one of the daily oral doses of safusidenib at 125 mg twice a day (BID), 250 mg BID, 500 mg once daily (QD), 375 mg BID, or 500 mg BID. The PK characteristics and safety and initial efficacy data will be assessed in Part 1. Part 2: It is planned to open 2 glioma subtype cohorts: Grade 2 and Grade 3 glioma cohorts with 30 eligible patients enrolled in each cohort. Total 60 patients will be enrolled. Part 2 is to evaluate the efficacy of safusidenib in the treatment of recurrent/progressive WHO CNS Grade 2 and grade 3 IDH1 mutant glioma. Exploratory Surgery Cohort: This cohort will be conducted in parallel with Part 2, for explorative purpose once RP2D is decided. 5 patients with primarily enhancing lesions and other 5 with primarily non-enhancing lesions will be enrolled. Participants will receive oral safusidenib treatment continuously, with 28 days as a cycle, until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, consent withdrawal, start of new anti-cancer therapy, investigator decision or death, upon whichever earlier. Besides baseline, the anti-tumor response will be evaluated every 8 weeks following RANO or RANO-LGG criteria as applicable, until disease progression, consent withdrawal or death, upon whichever earlier.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and efficacy of iC9-GD2-CAR T-cells, a third generation (4.1BB-CD28) CAR T cell treatment targeting GD2 in paediatric or young adult patients affected by relapsed/refractory malignant central nervous system (CNS) tumors. In order to improve the safety of the approach, the suicide gene inducible Caspase 9 (iC9) has been included.
The purpose of this study is to determine what effects (good and bad) niraparib has on patients with recurrent brain cancer.
Purpose : the aim of this study is to assess the feasibility and safety of ultrasound-induced opening of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) with the SonoCloud-9 implantable ultrasound device in pediatric patients treated for a recurrent malignant supra-tentorial brain tumor treated with carboplatin. Study hypothesis : the blood-brain barrier can be transiently and safely opened with pulsed low intensity ultrasound immediately prior to intravenously delivered chemotherapy. The opening of the BBB with the SonoCloud-9 system will increase the tumor exposure to carboplatin and increase progression-free and overall survival in pediatric patients treated for a recurrent malignant supra-tentorial brain tumor.
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.
Optic pathway glioma (OPG) can result in visual deterioration. Symptomatic patients often report deficits in visual acuity (VA), visual field, visual-evoked potentials (VEPs), strabismus, proptosis, disc swelling, and other visual/neurological problems. VA itself remains one of the most important outcome measures for OPG patients, with various studies showing strong ties of VA level to overall quality of life and well-being . Maintenance of favorable VA and vision outcomes is of paramount importance in the management of OPG. In terms of management of OPG, surgery and radiotherapy are used on a more limited basis because of location of the tumors and risk of secondary tumors, respectively. Tumor stabilization often prioritized, and chemotherapy is considered ideal for tumor stabilization in OPG, but vision is not always retained and may worsen in some cases, partially due to low radiographic efficacy and long time interval to response of the current chemotherapy regimen. In the prior study, the investigators modified the traditional carboplatin combined with vincristine regimen by increasing the dose of carboplatin and combining with an anti-angiogenic drug. Of the 15 OPG patients, objective response rate was 80% and the time to response was only 3.3 months. 8 (53%) patients experienced an improvement in visual acuity during therapy and 6 (40%) were stable, which was higher than the historical studies. This study was launched to further verify the clinical efficacy of the modified regimen and its effect on visual acuity improvement.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Lutathera (177Lu-DOTATATE) in patients with progressive or recurrent High-Grade Central Nervous System (CNS) tumors and meningiomas that demonstrate uptake on DOTATATE PET. The drug will be given intravenously once every 8 weeks for a total of up to 4 doses over 8 months in patients aged 4-12 years (Phase I) or older than 12 yrs (Phase II) to test its safety and efficacy, respectively.

A glioma is a primary brain tumor in adults that is characterized by a highly variable, but overall poor survival. The optimal timing of treatment is in part determined by the expected biological behavior of the tumor. At present the expected biological behavior, determined by the tumor genotype, can only be determined by tissue analysis, which requires brain surgery. Non-invasive and improved diagnostic methods are sought to obtain insight into the molecular profile of the tumor and the expected biological behavior to avoid surgery performed solely for diagnostic purposes. Vascularization is an important aspect of the biological behavior of a primary brain tumor. Tumor vascularization characteristics can be assessed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), but with the currently available technology this can only be achieved with unacceptably long scan times. In this proposal, the investigators will develop and optimize a novel MRI protocol to gather a large set of quantitative vascularization parameters within an acceptable scan time. The hypothesis is that from such a 'vascular signature' the tumor genotype can be inferred by means of machine learning.
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.
