Filter by:Improved outcomes for high-grade gliomas (HGG) require advances in our ability to monitor changes to tumour biology using non-surgical approaches. "Liquid biopsy" is a term used to describe a technique whereby tumour DNA, which has been shed off and then circulates through the blood stream, is detected and analyzed. Our goal is to develop a new type of liquid biopsy that is suitable for primary brain tumours that uses a method that is highly sensitive and allows for ongoing analysis of these tumours.
This study (1438-0003) is open to adults with a tumour in the brain that is positive for the tumour marker delta-like 3 (DLL3). This study is in people with advanced cancer for whom previous treatment was not successful. The purpose of this study is to find out the highest dose of BI 764532 that people with a brain tumour that is positive for DLL3 can tolerate. BI 764532 is an antibody-like molecule that can attach and link together the cancer cells and T-cells of the immune system (DLL3/CD3 bispecific). This may help the immune system fight cancer. Participants get BI 764532 infusions into a vein when starting treatment. If there is benefit for the participants and if they can tolerate it, the treatment is continued. During this time, participants visit the study site at regular intervals. The total number of visits depends on how they respond to and tolerate the treatment. The first study visits include staying to monitor participants' safety. Doctors record any unwanted effects and regularly check the general health of the participants.
Glioma disease is the most common primary malignant tumor of the central nervous system, with an annual incidence of about 3-8 people per 100,000 population, of which glioblastoma with the highest degree of malignancy and the worst prognosis accounts for 70-75%. The construction goal of this project is to construct a multivariate retrospective glioma database (3000 cases) integrating clinical information, magnetic resonance imaging examination and molecular pathological results, and a prospective glioma database (500 cases) integrating advanced magnetic resonance sequences. It aims to form a standardized database integrating clinical-prognostic information, magnetic resonance imaging and pathological results. Based on the construction of the above standardized database, the specifications for the acquisition of cranial magnetic resonance images, the image segmentation and labeling process, and the expert consensus on database construction and use management of glioma diseases were established. Form a multimodal, large-capacity, high-quality, and rich medical imaging database that conforms to the characteristics of Chinese groups and clinical diagnosis and treatment norms; On this basis, the data are dynamically updated, in-depth mining, and the classification and grading standards of glioma diseases, prognosis judgment criteria and treatment efficacy evaluation system are formulated.
This phase II trial tests how well erdafitinib works in controlling IDH-wild type (WT) gliomas with FGFR-TACC gene fusion that have returned or that have grown, spread, or gotten worse (progressed). Erdafitinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal FGFR protein that signals tumor cells to multiply. This may help keep tumor cells from growing and may kill them. Giving erdafitinib may help to slow the growth of or to shrink tumor cells in patients with recurrent or progressive IDH-wild type gliomas with FGFR-TACC gene fusion.
This study will investigate the use of hyperpolarized (HP) carbon-13 (13C) alpha-ketoglutarate (aKG) (HP 13C-aKG) to characterize tumor burden in patients with isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutant glioma.
Loc3CAR is a Phase I clinical trial evaluating the use of autologous B7-H3-CAR T cells for participants ≤ 21 years old with primary CNS neoplasms. B7-H3-CAR T cells will be locoregionally administered via a CNS reservoir catheter. Study participants will be divided into two cohorts: cohort A with B7-H3-positive relapsed/refractory non-brainstem primary CNS tumors, and cohort B with brainstem high-grade neoplasms. Participants will receive six (6) B7-H3-CAR T cell infusions over an 8 week period. The purpose of this study is to find the maximum (highest) dose of B7-H3-CAR T cells that are safe to give patients with primary brain tumors.
To learn if the study drug, ulixertinib, can cross over the blood-brain barrier in patients with recurrent brain tumors
The goal of this randomized clinical controlled trial is to learn about whether neuro-navigation repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (nrTMS) was useful to accelerate the recovery in patients with SMA syndrome after glioma resection. The main questions aim to answer: - Question 1: Whether the nrTMS was useful to accelerate the recovery of motor function back to the preoperative status in participants with SMA syndrome after glioma resection. - Question 2: Whether the nrTMS was useful to improve postoperative motor function in participants with SMA syndrome after glioma resection. Participants will continue to receive nrTMS treatment or nrTMS sham-treatment for 7 times on the 8th day after glioma resection to determine whether the TMS was helpful for exercise rehabilitation. The investigator will evaluate the effects of nrTMS treatment through the ratio of recovery of motor function and the time that was from the participants suffering SMA syndrome to totally recover the motor function to the status of motor function in pre-operation.
This is a single-center, open-label, dose-escalating Phase 0 trial that will enroll participants with a confirmed diagnosed recurrent high-grade glioma (grade 3 or 4 per WHO criteria) targeting the mTOR pathway. Eligible participants will be administered a single infusion of temsirolimus through super-selective intra-arterial infusion or intravenous infusion. Participants will receive the study drug administration on the same day as the planned surgical resection of the tumor.
The study aims at investigating the cilium-related transcriptome in patients-derived glioblastoma stem cells and the potential impact of modulation of cilium players in vitro, in vivo and ex vivo in glioblastoma brain organoids. Moreover, drugs inhibiting cilia disassembly will be tested. Finally, the potential prognostic role of a cilium-related gene expression signature in glioblastoma will be assessed.
