NCT ID: NCT02758366 Terminated - Clinical trials for Anaplastic Astrocytoma

Prolonged Exposure to Doxorubicin in Patients With Glioblastoma Multiforme and Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma

Start date: February 2016
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The standard therapy of glioblastoma (GBM) consists of gross total resection followed by focal irradiation to the tumor bed with concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide (TMZ). The association of valproic acid and TMZ during radiotherapy improves survival of GBM. Preclinical studies suggested that doxorubicin had a strong antineoplastic activity against human gliomas. Moreover, some studies showed that the continuous infusion of anthracyclines in patients with solid tumor ensured a better safety profile compared with bolus administration. Based on these findings, the purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of prolonged administration of doxorubicin in combination with radiotherapy, temozolomide and valproic acid in pediatric and adult patients with newly diagnosed GBM and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG).

NCT ID: NCT02653196 Terminated - Solid Tumor Clinical Trials

A Multi-Institutional Pilot Study of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Patients With Malignant Neuro-Epithelial and Other Solid Tumors

Start date: September 2015
Phase: Early Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

There is currently no standard treatment for patients with neuro-epithelial (brain) or other solid tumors in another part of the body who do not have adequate suitable autologous hematopoietic progenitor cells available and/or whose disease has relapsed after standard treatment. Allogeneic Hematopoietic Progenitor Cell Transplant may be a consideration for treatment of patients with recurrent chemo-responsive malignant (high grade) neuro-epithelial and other solid tumors or those who do not have suitable autologous hematopoietic progenitor cell availability. The procedure in which your own blood stem cells are transplanted to you is called an autologous (from your own) progenitor cell transplant and when cells from a matched donor are transfused is called an allogeneic progenitor cell transplant. The study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a combination of drugs followed by an allogeneic hematopoietic progenitor cell transplant (HPCT). This treatment regimen is experimental in that although the individual drugs are commonly used to treat your disease, the specific combination used in this protocol followed by the transplant is experimental.

NCT ID: NCT02255461 Terminated - Clinical trials for Recurrent Childhood Medulloblastoma

Palbociclib Isethionate in Treating Younger Patients With Recurrent, Progressive, or Refractory Central Nervous System Tumors

Start date: December 8, 2014
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of palbociclib isethionate in treating younger patients with central nervous system tumors that have grown, come back, or not responded to treatment. Palbociclib isethionate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

NCT ID: NCT02175745 Terminated - Adult Glioblastoma Clinical Trials

18F FDOPA PET/CT or PET/MRI in Measuring Tumors in Patients With Newly Diagnosed or Recurrent Gliomas

Start date: December 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This clinical trial compares fluorine F 18 fluorodopa (18F FDOPA) positron emission tomography (PET) with standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in measuring tumors in patients with glioma that is newly diagnosed or recurrent (has returned). 18F FDOPA is a radioactive drug that binds to tumor cells and is captured in images by PET. Computed tomography (CT) and MRI are used with PET to describe information regarding the function, location, and size of the tumor. PET/CT or PET/MRI may be more accurate than standard MRI in helping doctors find and measure brain tumors.
