Filter by:An open label, non-randomized study in pediatric patients with advanced high-grade gliomas and other solid tumors. The study will be performed in two phases: a dose escalation phase in up to 18 patients following a standard "3+3" design to establish dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and a "safe" dose of LAM561 followed by an expanded safety cohort of up to 10 patients treated at the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD). If the MTD is well tolerated in the expanded safety cohort, that dose becomes the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D). Glioma patients and other solid tumor patients (including non-glial brain tumors) will be treated as a single cohort. Patients with either tumor type will be allowed to enroll on the study as positions are made available. No tumor type will be given priority over another and there is no minimum number of glioma patients or solid tumor patients that must be enrolled on the trial.
The main aim of the Tessa Jowell BRAIN MATRIX - Platform Study is to more precisely determine the exact type of tumour patients have by developing the essential infrastructure to provide rapid and accurate molecular diagnosis. A large network of clinical hubs across the United Kingdom, with expertise in managing patients with brain tumours, will be developed. Once established this infrastructure will facilitate the rapid introduction of clinical trials testing targeted therapies tailored to the genetic changes of an individual's tumour.
Almost all gliomas relapse. After temozolomide rechallenge or combination with irinotecan, the progression-free survival rate at 6 months (PFS-6%) of recurrent glioblastoma was about 21%. After treatment with irinotecan-based chemotherapy regimen, the PFS-6% of recurrent lower-grade gliomas was 40%. The optimal chemotherapeutics of recurrent gliomas has yet to be determined. Anti-angiogenesis is a promising therapeutic strategy. Vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF) is the primary driver of angiogenesis in tumors. Bevacizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody directed against VEGF, is the prototypical anti-angiogenic drug and received accelerated approval of the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma. Bevacizumab inproved the PFS-6% (36%), but had no effect on the overall survival (OS) (9.2 months). Moreover, the effects of bevacizumab are transient and most patients' tumors progress just after a median time of 3-5 months. Recombinant human endostatin (rh-ES) is an endogenous broad-spectrum angiogenesis inhibitor that has been shown to significantly improve therapeutic efficacy when combining with conventional chemotherapy agents in non-small-cell lung cancer, breast cancer and melanoma. In our previous study, we retrospectively analyzed the effect and toxicity of rh-ES when combined with temozolomide and irinotecan on adult recurrent disseminated glioblastoma. After combined treatment, PFS-6% was 23.3%; the median PFS and OS were 3.2 and 6.9 months, respectively, which were promising compared with that in other studies. Once patients get radiographic remission in a short time (4 months), they may get a long PFS.The combined regimen did not reduce the sensitivity of tumor to bevacizumab. After tumor progression from the combined chemotherapy, bevacizumab usage could help to prolong the survival time (5.1 months versus 2.4 months). Moreover, the toxicities of the combination therapy in this study were manageable. On the basis of prior clinical experience, we carry out this prospective trial to confirm the efficacy and safety of the combination of rh-ES, temozolomide and irinotecan in patients with recurrent gliomas.
Multicenter, open label, prospective study including successively a phase I trial and then a phase II trial Phase I : Open label, non-randomized, safety run study in nine patients. In case of safety issue a -1 dose level will be tested. Phase II : Open label, non randomized, efficacy study of nivolumab in addition to radiotherapy and temozolomide. This phase will start when the RP2D has been defined after the last patients evaluable for DLT achieved the first 6 weeks of treatment (the radio-chemotherapy period) with a DLT rate below 30% during the the phase I study.
Gliomas are the most common malignant tumors of the central nervous system and are highly invasive. Gliomas account for one-third of central nervous system tumors in adults and children. Interstitial astrocytomas and glioblastomas are also called high-grade gliomas, accounting for 77.5% of all gliomas.
High field MR-technologies are expected to boost metabolic spectroscopic imaging (MRSI), but also CEST-MRI. This is due to the fact that increased SNR is available which can be used to increase the spatial resolution of all sequences, or reduction of measurement times. Recent findings has shown that MRSI can be used to evaluate the isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) status of gliomas, a brain tumor type which is most often diagnosed in humans. Patients with IDH-mutated gliomas have a much longer survival time that IDH-wildtype. In IDH-mutated gliomas the substance 2-hydroxy-glutarate (2HG) is found, whereas in IDH-wildtype gliomas it is not. The underlying trial aims to measure 2HG directly with different MRSI sequences at 3 Tesla (3T) and 7 Tesla (7T) magnetic field strength. Apart from MRSI-techniques for IDH-typing it has been shown that CEST-imaging can also be performed to determine the IDH-status of gliomas. A total of 75 patients and 50 healthy controls will be examined in this study to evaluate the most accurate method for pre-operative IDH-status determination.
This prospective study aims to collect clinical, radiological, pathological, molecular and genetic data including detailed clinical parameters, MR and histopathology images, molecular pathology and genetic sequencing data. By leveraging artificial intelligence, this registry seeks to construct and refine algorithms that able to predict molecular pathology or clinical outcomes of glioma patients based on MR images and histopathology images, as well as revealing related mechanisms from genetic perspective.
This registry aims to collect clinical, molecular and radiologic data including detailed clinical parameters, molecular pathology (1p/19q co-deletion, MGMT methylation, IDH and TERTp mutations, etc) and images of HE slices in primary gliomas. By leveraging artificial intelligence, this registry will seek to construct and refine histopathology image based algorithms that are able to predict molecular pathology or subgroups of gliomas.

Apatinib, also known as YN968D1, is a small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that selectively binds to and inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2). This study aims to collect clinical, radiological and histopathology imaging including detailed radiological data, survival data, clinical parameters, molecular pathology and images of HE slices in patients with recurrent gliomas whose are treated with Apatinib, for evaluating the efficacy and safety of Apatinib. Moreover, by leveraging artificial intelligence, this study seeks to construct and refine MR and histopathology imaging based algorithms that are able to predict the responses to Apatinib of patients with recurrent gliomas.
