Filter by:The purpose of the study is to follow tumoral proteins metabolism by in vivo no radioactive isotopic tagging (carbon 13 and nitrogen 15).
DC vaccine manufactured and partially matured using our standard operating procedures, developed in collaboration with the HGG Immuno Group, then administered through imiquimod treated skin will be safe and feasible in children with refractory brain tumors. This will result in anti-tumor immunity that will prolong survival of subjects treated and results will be consistent with the outcomes found for subjects treated by HGG Immuno Group investigators. Study treatment will correlate with laboratory evidence of immune activation. Correlative studies will also reveal targets in the immune system which can be exploited to improve response for patients on successor trials.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of Trans Sodium Crocetinate (TSC) on oxygen levels in brain tumor tissue in patients with high grade glioma. The proposed clinical indication for TSC is a radiation sensitizer for the treatment of cancerous tumors.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of the combination of Gliadel wafers plus surgery and limited field radiation therapy with concomitant temozolomide followed by temozolomide given at an extended dose schedule (metronomic schedule) in patients undergoing initial surgery for newly-diagnosed high grade glioma.
RATIONALE: Current therapies for children with recurrent/progressive high grade gliomas provide very limited benefit to the patient. The anti-cancer properties of Antineoplaston therapy suggest that it may prove beneficial in the treatment of children with recurrent/progressive high grade gliomas. PURPOSE: This study is being performed to determine the effects (good and bad) that Antineoplaston therapy has on children (> 6 months of age) with recurrent/progressive high grade gliomas.
