Filter by:Rationale: Standard postoperative treatment of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1/2 mutated grade 2 and 3 glioma (IDHmG) consists of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The improving prognosis of these patients leads towards more emphasis on the long-term effects of treatment. Specifically radiotherapy has been implicated in the development of delayed neurocognitive deterioration. The impact of modern radiotherapy techniques (such as intensity modulated radiotherapy, volumetric modulated radiotherapy and proton beam therapy) and chemotherapy on general toxicity, late neurocognitive outcomes and imaging changes is currently unclear. Objectives: - To report treatment outcomes and radiation-induced toxicity from a prospective, multicentre observational cohort of IDHmG patients treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, - To integrate radiotherapeutic dose distributions, imaging changes and neuropsychological outcome in IDHmG. - To evaluate the Dutch selection criteria for proton therapy applied to IDHmG based on the outcomes collected in this observational study. - To assess the impact of proton and photon therapy on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and health-related economics (HR-E) in IDHmG patients. - To collect genetic material for future translational research into the interaction between germline DNA, prognosis and radiation-induced toxicity. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: This project is a multicentre, observational cohort of patients undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy for IDHmG. The protocol closely follows the local guidelines for clinical follow-up. Specific to the study are extra questionnaires and specific imaging acquired during scheduled MRI's. Routine neuropsychological investigation is standard of care in Erasmus Medical Center (Erasmus MC), but not in all participating centers. We feel the additional burden of participation in this study to be low.
This is a multicenter phase 1 trial of INCB7839 for children with recurrent or progressive high-grade gliomas, including, but not limited to, diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) and other diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs), after upfront therapy.
This pilot study will assess the safety and feasibility of using an implantable microdevice to measure local intratumor response to chemotherapy and other clinically relevant drugs in malignant brain tumors. - The device involved in this study is called a microdevice. - The drugs used in this study will only include drugs already used systemically for the treatment of gliomas.
This phase II/III trial studies how well vocimagene amiretrorepvec (Toca 511) and extended release flucytosine (Toca FC) work when added to the usual treatment (temozolomide and radiation therapy) in treating patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. Toca 511 is a live virus that has been built to carry a gene into tumor cells. This gene carries instructions that cause the tumor cells to turn Toca FC, typically used to treat fungal infections, into a drug that may kill the tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving Toca 511 and Toca FC in addition to the usual treatment (temozolomide and radiation therapy) may help shrink or stabilize cancer or extend the life of patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma.
This clinical trial evaluates the use of microdialysis catheters during surgery to collect biomarkers, and studies the feasibility of intraoperative microdialysis during neurosurgery for central nervous system malignancies. A biomarker is a measurable indicator of the severity or presence of disease state. Information collected in this study may help doctors to develop new strategies to better diagnose, monitor, and treat brain tumors.
A roll-over study to assess long-term effect in pediatric patients treated with dabrafenib and/or trametinib.
enroll patients with histologically confirmed high-grade gliomas to evaluate the ability of regadenoson to transiently disrupt a relatively intact blood-brain barrier (BBB). determine the best dose of regadenoson to disrupt the BBB and allow for enhanced penetration of gadolinium during MRI.
This is a phase II, single arm, open label study looking how well a drug called abemaciclib works in patients with recurrent oligodendroglioma
The overall aim of this study is to prospectively characterize social health disparities in a cross-sectional cohort of glioma patients with attention to exploring and thematically categorizing the patient-specific and community-level factors. This will be conducted in two parts.
The PIONEER Initiative stands for Precision Insights On N-of-1 Ex vivo Effectiveness Research. The PIONEER Initiative is designed to provide access to functional precision medicine to any cancer patient with any tumor at any medical facility. Tumor tissue is saved at time of biopsy or surgery in multiple formats, including fresh and cryopreserved as a living biospecimen. SpeciCare assists with access to clinical records in order to provide information back to the patient and the patient's clinical care team. The biospecimen tumor tissue is stored in a bio-storage facility and can be shipped anywhere the patient and the clinical team require for further testing. Additionally, the cryopreservation of the biospecimen allows for decisions about testing to be made at a later date. It also facilitates participation in clinical trials. The ability to return research information from this repository back to the patient is the primary end point of the study. The secondary end point is the subjective assessment by the patient and his or her physician as to the potential benefit that this additional information provides over standard of care. Overall the goal of PIONEER is to enable best in class functional precision testing of a patient's tumor tissue to help guide optimal therapy (to date this type of analysis includes organoid drug screening approaches in addition to traditional genomic profiling).
