Filter by:The primary objective of this phase II trial is to determine the efficacy and safety of ONC201, an oral small molecule imipridone DRD2 antagonist, in adult subjects with recurrent high-grade glioma. This study will test the research hypothesis that histone H3 K27M mutation sensitizes to oral administration of ONC201 in gliomas.
The purpose of this research study is to see if people can produce ketones in their blood with the modified Atkins diet. Modified Atkins diet is a diet that produces ketones in your blood by restricting carbohydrates to <20 grams per day. Ketones are substances that are produced in the blood when fat is being broken down. Ketones may help radiation work better and may starve your tumor because it is thought that some brain tumors can not use ketones to grow and can only use sugar or glucose to grow.
This trial studies how well a couple-based mind body program works in improving spiritual, psychosocial, and physical quality of life in patients with high or low grade glioma or tumors that have spread to the brain and their partners. A couple-based mind body program may help to improve spiritual well-being, sleep difficulties, depressive symptoms, and overall quality of life in patients with glioma or tumors that have spread to the brain and their partners.
A Phase I/IIa Study to Determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy Profile of Cerebraca Wafer Plus Adjuvant Temozolomide (TMZ) in Patients With Recurrent High Grade Glioma. High grade gliomas, glioblastoma multiforme (grade IV) and anaplastic anaplastic astrocytoma (Grade III), are the most comment malignant brain tumor. The cause of gliomas remains unknown. Despite of several researches on environmental hazards and genetic alterations, no direct causes were found. Patient suffering from glioma usually develops symptoms such as headaches, seizures, memory loss and changes in behavior in its early phase. At later stages, patients may encounter loss of movement and sensation, language dysfunction and cognitive impairments depending on location and size of the tumor. The average survival of glioblastoma patients is 15 months regardless of the use of multimodal therapy. (Z)-BP/polymer wafer, designated as Cerebraca wafer, is a biodegradable wafer for interstitial implantation comprises (Z)-n-butylidenephthalide ((Z)-BP; the active moiety) and Carboxyphenoxypropane-Sebacic Acid Copolymer (CPPSA; the excipient). Cerebraca wafer, the first human-use drug product, is a biodegradable implant comprises (Z)-n-butylidenephthalide ((Z)-BP) and CPPSA. According to pre-clinical study, (Z)-BP could reduce glioma migration and invasion, it also could reduce the tumor stem cell marker gens.
This phase II Pediatric MATCH trial studies how well olaparib works in treating patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders with defects in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage repair genes that have spread to other places in the body (advanced) and have come back (relapsed) or do not respond to treatment (refractory). Olaparib is an inhibitor of PARP, an enzyme that helps repair DNA when it becomes damaged. Blocking PARP may help keep cancer cells from repairing their damaged DNA, causing them to die. PARP inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy.
This phase II Pediatric MATCH trial studies how well vemurafenib works in treating patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders with BRAF V600 mutations that have spread to other places in the body (advanced) and have come back (recurrent) or do not respond to treatment (refractory). Vemurafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This phase II Pediatric MATCH trial studies how well larotrectinib works in treating patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders with NTRK fusions that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) and have come back (relapased) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Larotrectinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This phase II Pediatric MATCH trial studies how well samotolisib works in treating patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders with TSC or PI3K/MTOR mutations that have spread to other places in the body (metastatic) and have come back (recurrent) or do not respond to treatment (refractory). Samotolisib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This phase II Pediatric MATCH trial studies how well tazemetostat works in treating patients with brain tumors, solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders that have come back (relapsed) or do not respond to treatment (refractory) and have EZH2, SMARCB1, or SMARCA4 gene mutations. Tazemetostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking EZH2 and its relation to some of the pathways needed for cell proliferation.
This phase II trial studies how well olaparib works in treating patients with glioma, cholangiocarcinoma, or solid tumors with IDH1 or IDH2 mutations that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) and that does not respond to treatment (refractory). Olaparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
