Testing the Combination of Anti-cancer Drugs Tiragolumab and Atezolizumab to Improve Outcomes for Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma

Phase 2 and Biomarker Trial of Anti-TIGIT and Anti-PDL1 in Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma

This phase II trial compares the safety, side effects and effectiveness of atezolizumab with tiragolumab to atezolizumab alone in treating patients with glioblastoma that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Glioblastoma is the most common primary brain cancer in adults and despite aggressive treatment, it is nearly always fatal. Currently, there are limited effective treatment options in patients that have recurrence. Immunotherapy has been shown to be effective in other types of cancer and may be an appealing potential treatment option for recurrent glioblastoma. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab and tiragolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Study doctors also want to learn if a tumor infiltrating T lymphocyte (TIL) response is helpful to determine the benefit of the combination of study drugs compared to the usual approach. TILs are a type of immune cell that has moved from the blood into a tumor. TILs can recognize and kill tumor cells. Giving atezolizumab with tiragolumab may be safe, tolerable and/or effective compared to atezolizumab alone in treating patients with recurrent glioblastoma.

Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Atorvastatin Combined With Temozolomide in the Treatment of Glioblastoma

Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Atorvastatin Combined With Temozolomide in the Treatment of Glioblastoma

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the primary intracranial malignant tumor with the highest morbidity and mortality, and the 5-year survival rate is less than 10%. The number of primary diagnostic patients and deaths of GBM in China ranks first in the world every year, which seriously threatens people's life and health. At present, the clinical treatment strategy of maximum surgical resection combined with concurrent chemo- and radio-therapy and TTF treatment is still not satisfactory, and the median survival time of GBM patients is only 14.4 months. Statins inhibit cholesterol production with few side effects and are widely used for cholesterol control in patients with hyperlipidemia. In recent years, statins have shown good anti-tumor effect. Our previous study found that statins can block the malignant progression of glioma mediated by EGFR pathway. Therefore, the investigators report a clinical study protocol designed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of a comprehensive treatment strategy of atorvastatin (ATO) combined with temozolomide (TMZ) in primary and recurrent glioblastomas with high EGFR expression. The investigators designed a multicenter, single-arm, double-blind, phase II clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral ATO combined with TMZ in EGFR-high expressing GBM. After informed consent was signed by the patient or authorized family members, the patients were treated with the current STUPP regimen and ATO (20mg, qn) orally. The patients were regularly followed up for 52 weeks after treatment. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS), which was defined as the time from the start of GBM surgery to tumor progression (recurrence) or death. The secondary end point was the rate of tumor control, which was defined as the proportion of patients with a complete response, a partial response, or a stable disease that had shrunk or remained stable for a given period of time. Safety will be assessed during the study by monitoring of regular MRI scans, laboratory tests (liver function, lipid profile, blood routine), electrocardiography, vital signs (blood pressure, pulse, temperature), and weight. The results of this clinical trial will provide key information on whether the oral combination of atorvastatin and temozolomide prolongs PFS in EGFR-high GBM patients with efficacy and safety.

Identifying Findings on Brain Scans That Could Help Make Better Predictions About Brain Cancer Progression, The GABLE Trial

Phase II Glioblastoma Accelerated Biomarkers Learning Environment Trial (GABLE)

This phase II trial studies whether different imaging techniques can provide additional and more accurate information than the usual approach for assessing the activity of tumors in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. The usual approach for this currently is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This study is trying to learn more about the meaning of changes in MRI scans after treatment, as while the appearance of some of these changes may reflect progressing tumor, some may be due the treatment. Dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC)-MRIs, along with positron emission tomography (PET) and/or magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy, may help doctors tell which changes are a reflection of the treatment and which changes may be due to progressing tumor.

Evaluate the Role of Anthracycline After Radio Therapy in Patients With Glioblastoma (pGBM).

Interventional, Single-arm, Open-label Open-label, Phase II Trial to Evaluate the Role of Anthracycline Infusion After Radio Therapy (RT) in Pediatric and Young Adults With Glioblastoma (pGBM).

Glioblastoma (GBM) and diffuse intrinsic bridge gliomas (DIPG) only the most aggressive forms of cancer, and their prognosis remains bleak. Currently, the standard of treatment is TMZ concomitant with radiotherapy, and, at the end of combined treatment, as adjuvant therapy. In vitro and in vivo experimental studies have suggested that anthracyclines are effective antineoplastics for the treatment of gliomas. In patients with solid tumors treated with anthracyclines, continuous infusion administration compared with bolus administration has been shown to provide a better safety profile especially with regard to cardiotoxicity. Based on this evidence, this study aims to evaluate the safety and antitumor activity of combined treatment with Dox, WBRT (whole body radiotherapy), and TMZ in pediatric and young adult patients affected by GMB

The RECSUR-study: Resection Versus Best Oncological Treatment for Recurrent Glioblastoma (ENCRAM 2302) - RECSUR

The RECSUR-study: Resection Versus Best Oncological Treatment for Recurrent Glioblastoma: Study Protocol for An International Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study (ENCRAM 2302)

Previous evidence has indicated that resection for recurrent glioblastoma might benefit the prognosis of these patients in terms of overall survival. However, the demonstrated safety profile of this approach is contradictory in the literature and the specific benefits in distinct clinical and molecular patient subgroups remains ill-defined. The aim of this study, therefore, is to compare the effects of resection and best oncological treatment for recurrent glioblastoma as a whole and in clinically important subgroups. This study is an international, multicenter, prospective observational cohort study. Recurrent glioblastoma patients will undergo tumor resection or best oncological treatment at a 1:1 ratio as decided by the tumor board. Primary endpoints are: 1) proportion of patients with NIHSS (National Institute of Health Stroke Scale) deterioration at 6 weeks after surgery and 2) overall survival. Secondary endpoints are: 1) progression-free survival (PFS), 2) NIHSS deterioration at 3 months and 6 months after surgery, 3) health-related quality of life (HRQoL) at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery, and 4) frequency and severity of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) in each arm. Estimated total duration of the study is 5 years. Patient inclusion is 4 years, follow-up is 1 year. The study has been approved by the Medical Ethics Committee (METC Zuid-West Holland/Erasmus Medical Center; MEC-2020-0812). The results will be published in peer-reviewed academic journals and disseminated to patient organisations and media.

Efficacy and Safety of TMZ Plus 6-MP in the Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma

Efficacy and Safety of TMZ Plus 6-MP in the Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma

Glioblastoma, the most prevalent malignant tumor in the central nervous system, is characterized by high invasiveness and a propensity to recur, contributing to a relatively elevated mortality rate. Patients diagnosed with high-grade glioblastomas typically experience a median survival period of less than 14 months. Presently, the standard treatment for glioblastoma involves surgical resection combined with postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy, with postoperative chemotherapy playing a pivotal role in enhancing patient prognosis. Temozolomide (TMZ), a cutting-edge oral alkylating agent known for its advantageous properties, including easy traversal of the blood-brain barrier, induces DNA alkylation in tumor cells, fostering apoptosis. Currently, it serves as a frontline medication for postoperative chemotherapy in glioblastoma. However, clinical resistance to TMZ chemotherapy significantly hampers its efficacy in later stages. We have recently discovered and validated that 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide (AICA), derived from TMZ, can transform into 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide-5-phosphate (AICAR) in GBM cells. Hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase 1 (HPRT1) has been identified as the catalyst for the AICA reaction, generating AICAR. AICAR acts as an endogenous activator of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), fostering chemoresistance in glioblastoma through the activation of the AMPK signaling pathway. 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) competes effectively to inhibit HPRT1 activity, thereby impeding TMZ-induced AMPK activation and significantly heightening glioblastoma cell sensitivity to TMZ. In this project, we propose an innovative strategy involving the combination of 6-MP with TMZ for the treatment of glioblastoma.

The RECMAP-study: Resection With or Without Intraoperative Mapping for Recurrent Glioblastoma - RECMAP

The RECMAP-study: Resection With or Without Intraoperative Mapping for Recurrent Glioblastoma: Study Protocol for An International Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study (ENCRAM 2301)

Resection of glioblastoma in or near functional brain tissue is challenging because of the proximity of important structures to the tumor site. To pursue maximal resection in a safe manner, mapping methods have been developed to test for motor and language function during the operation. Previous evidence suggests that these techniques are beneficial for maximum safe resection in newly diagnosed grade 2-4 astrocytoma, grade 2-3 oligodendroglioma, and recently, glioblastoma. However, their effects in recurrent glioblastoma are still poorly understood. The aim of this study, therefore, is to compare the effects of awake mapping and asleep mapping with no mapping in resections for recurrent glioblastoma. This study is an international, multicenter, prospective 3-arm cohort study of observational nature. Recurrent glioblastoma patients will be operated with mapping or no mapping techniques with a 1:1 ratio. Primary endpoints are: 1) proportion of patients with NIHSS (National Institute of Health Stroke Scale) deterioration at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery and 2) residual tumor volume of the contrast-enhancing and non-contrast-enhancing part as assessed by a neuroradiologist on postoperative contrast MRI scans. Secondary endpoints are: 1) overall survival (OS), 2) progression-free survival (PFS), 4) health-related quality of life (HRQoL) at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery, and 4) frequency and severity of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) in each arm. Estimated total duration of the study is 5 years. Patient inclusion is 4 years, follow-up is 1 year. The study will be carried out by the centers affiliated with the European and North American Consortium and Registry for Intraoperative Mapping (ENCRAM).

NanoTherm In Adjuvant Therapy of Glioblastoma Multiforme - ANCHIALE

Application of Nanoparticles for Cyclic Hyperthermia In Adjuvant Therapy of gLioblastoma Multiforme (ANCHIALE)

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most common and malignant primary brain tumor in adults is classified as a World Health Organisation (WHO) grade 4. Surgical removal of the tumor is the primary method of treatment. Unfortunately, because GBM is a disease of the entire brain, total resection is not possible. Therefore, the use of radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy is considered as Stupp protocol. Patients with recurrent GBM will be included in the ANCHIALE study. The goal of the trial is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerance of using the NanoTherm therapy system in recurrent GBM. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. how NanoTherm therapy influences overall survival, and progression free survival; 2. what is the tolerance of NanoTherm therapy in terms of side effects (allergies, intracranial bleeding, infections, brain edema, increased intracranial pressure) and quality of life. Participants will undergo: - initial visit, considering the inclusion/exclusion criteria, neurological examination, and surveys regarding daily functioning and quality of life; - standard neurosurgical operation aimed, if possible, complete removal of the recurrent GBM and administration of NanoTherm ASI - a sterile suspension of iron oxide nanoparticles. A catheter will be implanted allowing for measurement of temperature during the first activation in the magnetic field; - between the 6th and 10th day after tumor resection, a standard computerized tomography (CT) scan of the head will be performed for routine postoperative evaluation; - after the first activation (10th day), the catheter will be removed; - subsequently, for 6 times, the patient will be subjected to the variable magnetic field of the NanoActivator® to induce hyperthermia - activations will be conducted on the 10th, 14th, 17th, 21st, 24th, and 28th day; - for up to 2 years post-procedure, a CT scan with an evaluation of treatment efficacy will be performed; - during follow-up visits for up to 2 years after the surgical procedure, a neurological examination, assessment of adverse symptoms, number of hospitalizations, number of medical visits, clinimetric assessment regarding quality of life, neurological deficit and degree of disability will be conducted. Researchers will compare NanoTherm group with patients undergoing Stupp protocol treatment for the abovementioned effects.
