Filter by:This Pediatric MATCH screening and multi-sub-study phase II trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in pediatric patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphomas, or histiocytic disorders that have progressed following at least one line of standard systemic therapy and/or for which no standard treatment exists that has been shown to prolong survival. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic changes or abnormalities (mutations) may benefit more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic mutation, and may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors or non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
This research study is evaluating an investigational drug, an oncolytic virus called rQNestin34.5v.2. This research study is a Phase I clinical trial, which tests the safety of an investigational drug and also tries to define the appropriate dose of the investigational drug as a possible treatment for this diagnosis of recurrent or progressive brain tumor.
This is a single-arm, non-randomized study of re-irradiation of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG)
To evaluate the efficacy of multi-modality magnetic resonance quantitative parameters in evaluating the treatment effects of high-grade gliomas, and to provide new biomarkers for the establishment of new diagnostic criteria for the identification of true and pseudoprogression of high-grade gliomas.
Doctors and other medical scientists want learn about the biology of DIPG/DMG and to develop better ways to diagnose and treat patients with DIPG/DMG. To do this, they need more information about the characteristics of DIPG/DMG tumors. Therefore, they want to establish a central location for clinical information and tumor tissue collected from DIPG/DMG patients. The purposes of this study are: - To enroll patients diagnosed with DIPG/DMG in the International DIPG/DMG Registry and Repository. - To provide a central location for clinical information, scans, and tissue samples from patients with DIPG/DMG enrolled in the registry. - To collect tissue samples in order to study how DIPG/DMG works on the molecular level. Researchers may use the tissue samples to study molecules such as proteins and DNA. Proteins are needed for the body to function properly and DNA is the molecule that carries our genetic information. Other researchers will be able to use the stored samples in the future to learn more about DIPG/DMG. The information researchers get from the research studies will be kept in the registry along with the clinical information. - To help investigators around the world to work together to make more consistent diagnosis and better design of future research studies. We hope this will lead to better treatments for DIPG/DMG in the future.
This study was designed to collect a series of patients with gliomas which were involved in motor cortex to analyze difference accuracy of motor cortex localization between BOLD-fMRI and ZOOMit-fMRI.
The epidermal growth factor receptor variant Ⅲ(EGFR vⅢ) is commonly detected in high-grade gliomas, which is also an important epitope in EGFR-targeted therapies and correlated to poor prognosis. However, detection of this mutant usually needs resected tumor samples. For biopsy samples, test results may not represent the EGFR vⅢ status of the whole tumor tissues because of the heterogeneity of tumor. It is also not applicable for patients who are not suitable for surgical procedure due to the tumor location or patients' general conditions. Because of the importance of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signal pathway in oncogenesis, maintenance, and progression of high grade glioma, there has been an intense effort to develop noninvasive molecular imaging approach for the selection and monitoring of EGFR-targeted therapies. Based on investigators' previous study, investigators plan to perform PET scanning on the participants with high grade gliomas after the injection of the second generation of EGFR tracer ,89Zr-ABT806, which can be specifically binded to EGFR vⅢ . After fusing the PET and MRI images, investigators precisely obtain the tissue from the"hot-spot" on the PET image through multimodal-neuronavigation-guided tumor biopsy. EGFRvⅢ status will be detected by molecular methods to analyze the correlation with the 89Zr-ABT806 PET image qualitatively and quantitatively. Investigators' final goal is to detect EGFR vⅢ by noninvasive molecular imaging procedure for the clinical outcome prediction and the selection of EGFR-targeted therapies.
Currently, treatment with a specific anti-epileptic drug mainly depends on the physicians' preference, as there are no studies supporting the use of one specific anticonvulsant in glioma patients. The overall aim of this randomized controlled trial is to directly compare the effectiveness of treatment with levetiracetam or valproic acid in glioma patients with a first seizure.
This is a multicenter trial of the Optune device to examine the feasibility and to describe the device-related toxicity in children with supratentorial high grade glioma (HGG) or ependymoma (Stratum 1) and to examine the feasibility and efficacy of concurrent Optune and standard focal radiation therapy (RT) in children with newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) (Stratum 2).
This is a Phase I study that examines the rate of dose limiting side effects in patients with malignant astrocytoma treated with combination acetazolamide (ACZ) and temozolomide (TMZ). Eligible patients must have histologically proven newly diagnosed, O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) methylated WHO grade III or IV astrocytoma and be planning to undergo treatment with standard adjuvant TMZ (after completing treatment with TMZ and ionizing radiation (IR)). During this study, patients will receive daily oral ACZ with TMZ. During each cycle, ACZ will be started on the day of TMZ initiation and continued for a total of 21 days.
