Filter by:This is a prospective, open-label, single arm, multicenter clinical study. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of combination Nimotuzumab with concurrent radiochemotherapy in children with newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma(DIPG).
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of trametinib and everolimus in treating pediatric and young adult patients with gliomas that have come back (recurrent). Trametinib acts by targeting a protein in cells called MEK and disrupting tumor growth. Everolimus is a drug that may block another pathway in tumor cells that can help tumors grow. Giving trametinib and everolimus may work better to treat low and high grade gliomas compared to trametinib or everolimus alone.
This trial studies whether a customized video intervention can help to reduce anxiety in brain cancer patients undergoing radiation treatment and their caregivers. A customized neuro-imaging referenced symptom video that describes symptoms and side effects specific to the patients' tumor may result in an early and sustained reduction in anxiety and distress during and after radiation treatment, thereby improving quality of life.
This trial is an open-label, multicenter, Phase 0/2 trial that will enroll up to 50 participants with recurrent glioblastoma which are schedule for resection. In the lead-in cohort, a total of 10 participants will be enrolled into the proposed phase 0 clinical trial. Participants will be administered LY3214996 plus Abemaciclib prior to surgical resection of their tumor. If positive PK results are demonstrated in ≥50% of Phase 0 participants and at least 5 participants are enrolled into Phase 2, up to approximately 40 additional participants will be enrolled in the dose expansion cohort in order to achieve a total of 25 participants enrolled into Phase 2 (lead-in cohort + dose expansion).
A multi-center, open-label, single-arm, phase I/II clinical study is designed to test the safety and immunogenicity of an investigational Dendritic and Glioma Cells Fusion vaccine given with IL-12 for treatment-naïve patients after resection of glioblastoma.
This trial uses magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) to estimate tissue stiffness (hardness or softness of the tissue) in tissue that is affected by radiation treatment (radiation necrosis) and tumor tissue that has come back (recurrent) after treatment in patients with gliomas. Diagnostic procedures, such as MRE, may estimate the differences in tissue stiffness between radiation necrosis and recurrent glioma post treatment and ultimately lead to a more accurate diagnosis and/or surgery, and/or a better assessment of the disease's response to treatment.
This phase I trial studies the side effects of nivolumab before and after surgery in treating children and young adults with high grade glioma that has come back (recurrent) or is increasing in scope or severity (progressive). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
It has been reported that radiation therapy followed by PCV chemotherapy (procarbazine, lomustine and vincristine) could improve progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with high-risk WHO grade 2 gliomas after surgery. However, procarbazine is not available in China. In clinical practice, Chinese doctors often use radiotherapy combined with temozolomide to treat these patients, though large-scale prospective studies are lacking. This trial aims to confirm whether RT combined with temozolomide can improve PFS and OS in patients with high-risk low-grade gliomas.
Glioma is a tumor of the central nervous system. These lesions are sorted with the WHO ranking regarding the tumoral oncotype. The tumoral MRI assessment is the first step before any medical decision. Currently, only anatomical biopsy can give the tumor grade definition and help to define the most adapted treatment.
This is a pilot study to assess a new methodology developed for High Grade Glioma (HGG). FMISO PET (Fluoromisonidazole-PET) allows researchers to study whether tumor cells lack oxygen (hypoxia). FLT PET (Fluorodeoxythymidine-PET) allows researchers to study the increase in the number of cells as a result of cell growth and cell division (proliferation). Tumors that have low oxygen levels and/or are dividing fast shall resist to standard cancer treatment. The study will compare FMISO PET and FLT PET imaging techniques with molecular biomarkers of hypoxia, angiogenesis, and cellular proliferation in tissue. proliferation).This information could help researchers develop new treatment techniques to better treat cancer.
