Filter by:This study will administer the investigational drug, BDTX-1535 to eligible patients with recurrent high-grade glioma. BDTX-1535 was designed to block a growth signal important to some cancers. BDTX-1535 is being tested in this study to see if it can be given safely to people who have tumors that can be dependent on that growth signal because of changes in a protein called EGFR. These gene changes are called amplifications, mutations, fusions or alterations and are found only in the tumors.
Re-irradiation in gliomas is a therapeutic option at recurrence before of 2nd-line chemotherapy. The dose of re-irradiation with conventional fractionation is unfortunately limited by the risk of symptomatic radionecrosis that is significant for cumulative doses above 100 Gy. The use of unconventional low dose rate pulsed radiotherapy (pLDRT) can reduce the risk of radiotoxicity while taking advantage of the cellular hyper-radiosensitivity that occurs at low dose-rates. The present study therefore aims at evaluating whether the use of pLDRT in the re-irradiation of recurrences of gliomas allows maintaining a low risk of symptomatic radionecrosis even for cumulative doses greater than 100 Gy.
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most malignant primary intracranial tumor with a median survival of about 18 months, and new therapies are urgently needed. Tumor vaccines has been shown to improve survival of GBM, but not all patients can benefit from vaccine treatment and biomarkers are urgently needed. Deletion of mismatch repair (MMR) protein and microsatellite instability (MSI) state are important features in the biological evolution of GBM, and may be used as markers for tumor vaccine. Therefore, this project will collect samples from GBM patients before and after vaccine treatment respectively, and evaluate the role of MMR/MSI gene phenotype in predicting vaccine efficacy and the potential molecular mechanism. Moreover, MMR/MSI phenotypes will be assessed by deep-learning and radiomics using images to establish noninvasive markers for vaccine.
Pear Bio has developed a 3D microtumor assay and computer vision pipeline through which the response of an individual patient's tumor to different anti-cancer regimens can be tested simultaneously ex vivo. This study will recruit patients with primary brain tumors who are due to undergo surgery. Oncologists will be blinded to treatment response on the Pear Bio tool (the assay will be run in parallel with the patient's treatment). The primary objective of this study is to establish the ex vivo model and confirm whether approved therapies exhibit their intended mechanism of action in the model. Secondary objectives include correlating test results to patient outcomes, where available.
Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumor. Gliomas with different grades have different clinical behaviors that determine treatment planning and patient prognosis in clinical practice. In the 2021 World Health Organization (WHO) classification of tumors for the central nervous system, glioma genotyping was considered the most relevant information for neuroradiologists. The isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) genotype and 1p/19q codeletion status are two essential molecular markers that divide glioma into three groups: IDH wild-type, IDH mutant with 1p/19q non-codeletion, and IDH mutant with 1p/19q codeletion. MRI contrast clearance analysis (CCA) is based on T1 delayed-contrast subtraction map, Blue/tumor regions in CCA represent efficient clearance of contrast from the tissue (delayed signal<early signal), while red/nontumor regions in CCA represent contrast accumulation (delayed signal>early signal). However, there are not any reports on the role of MRI CCA in glioma grading and genotyping, Thus, We hypothesized that the proportion of blue/red region and their histogram analyses, which could be acquired for predicting IDH genotypes and 1p/19q codeletion in gliomas, and to assess the application of CCA in glioma grading.
This is a study on the clinical application of chimeric antigen receptor modified γδ T cells (CAR-γδ T cells) in relapsed and refractory B7H3 Positive malignant brain glioma.The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of CAR-γδ T cell infusion in patients with relapsed and refractory B7H3 Positive malignant brain glioma.
Diffuse gliomas are common tumors involving the brain. They are usually treated by surgery followed by radiation and chemotherapy. Radiotherapy is used for the treatment of brain tumors which causes damage to the tumor cells. However, radiotherapy can also affect the surrounding healthy cells in the brain, causing inflammation and swelling in the region, which is known as radio necrosis (RN). This is considered a late side effect of radiation and is seen in 10-25% of patients treated with radiation for brain tumors. Sometimes, radionecrosis can be detected on routine imaging during follow-up without new symptoms (asymptomaticRN). At the same time, in some patients, it can give rise to new symptoms like headaches, weakness, seizures,etc (symptomatic RN). The standard treatment of RN includes steroid medicines called dexamethasone, which is helpful in a proportion of patients. This is a prospective phase 2 study. This study is being conducted to investigate the ability of the drug Chlorophyllin in the treatment of radionecrosis. Chlorophyllin is a water-soluble compound obtained from the green plant pigment called chlorophyll. It has been shown to have anti-cancer, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. It is also used as an oral formulation and is an over-the-counter drug in various countries, and also as a food colouring agent. This is the first time chlorophyllin will be used in the setting of brain radionecrosis. Our primary aim of the study is to assess whether CHL will improve the clinical-radiological response rates. This study will be conducted on a population of 118 patients for a duration of 3 months. The total study duration is 2 years. The study is funded by Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC).
The goal of this interventional study is to evaluate the efficacy of APG-157 in combination with Bevacizumab in subjects with recurrent high-grade glioma. The main questions the study aims to answer are: - Progression-free and overall survival of patients receiving this combination; - Quality of Life (QOL); and - Tumor response on imaging The participants will take APG-157 daily by dissolving two pastilles in their mouth at around breakfast, lunch and dinner time (total of six pastilles per day). The pastilles dissolve in the mouth. The participants will continue to receive Bevacizumab as standard of care.
Low grade gliomas (LGGs) are malignant, infiltrative and incurable brain tumours that typically present in the younger population. This project proposes to use non-contrast metabolic "Saturation Transfer" (ST)-MRI to evaluate LGG tumour progression and aims to predict early changes in LGG. Early identification of LGG patients whose tumours will progress will permit early interventions. ST-MRI does not involve any intravenous injection of contrast and which acquires metabolic information not seen by standard MRI.
this study will investigate the relationship between tumor stiffness and adhesion in gliomas using MRE. By utilizing preoperative MRE and Intraoperative neuronavigation, followed by comprehensive molecular pathology analysis, we aim to explore the correlation of tumor stiffness and adhesion with molecular and genetic characteristics of gliomas. Additionally, the predictive value of MRE in terms of pathological staging and prognosis will be determined. This research may pave the way for improved clinical decision-making, personalized treatment approaches, and more accurate clinical trials for glioma patients.
