Filter by:This study is an open-label, parallel, 2-cohort, multicenter, investigator-initiated Phase 2 trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of binimetinib in patients with advanced or recurrent low-grade glioma or pancreatic cancer harboring BRAF fusion/rearrangement.
This phase II trial tests the effect of decreasing (tapering) doses of dexamethasone on steroid side effects in patients after surgery to remove (craniotomy) a brain tumor. Steroids are the gold standard post-surgery treatment to reduce swelling (edema) at the surgical site to reduce neurological symptoms. Although, corticosteroids reduce edema, they have side effects including high blood sugar, high blood pressure, and can impair wound healing. Dexamethasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response. It also works to treat other conditions by reducing swelling and redness. Tapering doses dexamethasone may decrease steroid side effects without increasing the risk of edema in patients with brain tumors after a craniotomy.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether avutometinib is a safe treatment for advanced or recurrent solid tumor cancers in children and young adults. Researchers will look for the highest dose of avutometinib that is safe and cause few or mild side effects.
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.
Low-grade glioma (LGG) represent typically slowly growing primary brain tumors with world health organization (WHO) grade I or II who affect young adults around their fourth decade. Radiological feature on MRI is a predominantly T2 hyperintense signal, LGG show typically no contrast uptake. Radiotherapy plays an important role in the treatment of LGG. However, not least because of the good prognosis with long term survivorship the timing of radiotherapy has been discussed controversially. In order to avoid long term sequelae such as neurocognitive impairment, malignant transformation or secondary neoplasms initiation was often postponed as long as possible
This retrospective study aims to assess the utility of 2D non-navigated intraoperative ultrasound (ioUS) as a cost-effective alternative for guiding the surgical resection of gliomas and for detecting residual tumor. The study will analyse the records from consecutive adult patients diagnosed with gliomas, undergoing craniotomy between June 2018 and June 2023. The extent of resection (EOR) will be determined using postoperative MRI as the gold standard. The study will also examine the sensitivity and specificity of ioUS in detecting residual tumor. This research seeks to determine if ioUS can be an affordable and reliable tool that, combined with other intraoperative adjuncts, may aid neurosurgeons in achieving the maximum safe resection in glioma surgery.
The DAY101-EAP is a multicenter, open-label, expanded access treatment protocol designed to provide access to tovorafenib (DAY101) for eligible patients.
This is a 2-arm, randomized, open-label, multicenter, global, Phase 3 trial to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of DAY101 monotherapy versus standard of care (SoC) chemotherapy in patients with pediatric low-grade glioma (LGG) harboring an activating rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma (RAF) alteration requiring front-line systemic therapy.
The purpose of this study is to see if 18F-Fluciclovine (Axumin®) is useful and safe in the management of children with Low Grade Gliomas (LGG). Imaging with 18F-Fluciclovine PET-MRI will be performed prior to initiation of therapy for LGG, and then 3 months, and 1 year after starting therapy. Changes in 18F-Fluciclovine uptake will be compared to changes in MRI measurements at 3 months and 1 year as compared to baseline.
This is a randomized, two-arm, open-label, phase 0 trial to assess intratumoral pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of niraparib in subjects with progressive IDH1 or IDH2 mutant glioma. - This research study involves an experimental treatment called Niraparib.
