NCT04284774
This phase II pediatric MATCH trial studies how well tipifarnib works in treating patients with solid tumors that have recurred or spread to other places in the body (advanced), lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders, that have a genetic alteration in the gene HRAS. Tipifarnib may block the growth of cancer cells that have specific genetic changes in a gene called HRAS and may reduce tumor size.
NCT05267106
This is an open-label, monotherapy study of pemigatinib in participants with recurrent glioblastoma (GBM) or other recurrent gliomas, circumscribed astrocytic gliomas, and glioneuronal and neuronal tumors with an activating FGFR1-3 mutation or fusion/rearrangement. This study consists of 2 cohorts, Cohorts A, and B, and will enroll approximately 82 participants into each cohort. Participants will receive pemigatinib 13.5 mg QD on a 2-week on-therapy and 1-week off-therapy schedule as long as they are receiving benefit and have not met any criteria for study withdrawal.
NCT01734512
This is an open label study of everolimus in children with recurrent or progressive low-grade glioma.
NCT06391294
Electrocortical stimulation (ECS) mapping is a procedure used during brain surgeries, for example when treating diseases like epilepsy or when removing brain tumors. ECS mapping helps surgeons locate areas of the cerebral cortex (the outer part of the brain) that are important for everyday tasks like movement and speech. ECS mapping has been used for decades, and is considered the "gold-standard" tool for locating important areas of cortex. Despite this long history, there is still no clear understanding of exactly how ECS works. The goal of this study is to learn details about the effects ECS has on the brain. The main questions the study aims to answer are: 1) how ECS affects the neurons of the cortex at the stimulation site; and 2) how ECS impacts brain regions that are critically important for human speech and language. These so-called "critical sites" can be physically distant from one another on the brain's surface, requiring extensive ECS mapping and long surgeries. Critical sites are thought to be part of a speech/language network of brain areas, and so the study's goal is to learn about how they are connected. In some participants, the brain's surface will also be slightly cooled. This is a painless procedure that does not harm the brain's function, but could provide insight as to which parts of the brain (the surface, or deeper parts) are responsible for the effects of ECS. By improving the understanding of how ECS affects the brain and improving the ability to identify critical sites, this study could potentially lead to shorter surgeries and better outcomes for future individuals who need this care. Participants will be recruited from among individuals who are undergoing brain surgery for epilepsy treatment or tumor removal. Participants will complete simple tasks like reading words or naming pictures, similar to standard testing that is already performed during their hospital stay.
NCT04617002
This is an intermediate-size expanded access protocol to provide ONC201 (dordaviprone) to patients with H3 K27M-mutant and/or midline gliomas who cannot access ONC201 (dordaviprone) through clinical trials.
NCT01748149
This is a multicenter, safety and pharmacokinetic trial to determine the MTD and/or select a recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of vemurafenib in children with recurrent or refractory gliomas containing the BRAFV600E or BRAF Ins T mutation.
NCT04239092
9-ING-41 has anti-cancer clinical activity with no significant toxicity in adult patients. This Phase 1 study will study its efficacy in paediatric patients with advanced malignancies.
NCT03532295
In this study, the investigators propose to combine retifanlimab with radiation therapy (RT) and bevacizumab with or without epacadostat in the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma (GBM). The investigators hypothesize that this combination provides a powerful synergy between RT and immune modulators to produce more robust anti-tumor immune response, induce tumor regression and improve overall survival.
NCT05563272
A prospective, open-label, phase 2 study to explore CAIX expression through 89Zirconium-labelled girentuximab deferoxamine (89Zr-girentuximab) PET/CT imaging in patients with solid tumors.
NCT07074756
This clinical trial tests how well a digital treatment platform using a mobile application works for the delivery of home-based sequential therapy in patients with glioma. Access to specialized neuro-oncology care in the United States for patients with glioma is critically deficient. Care at centers with neuro-oncology specialists is associated with improved survival outcomes, yet many patients have limited access due to distance, disease-related disability, or lack of financial resources. The application provides patients continuous access to their care team in the home setting. A digital treatment platform may increase clinical trial participation and accelerate development of novel therapeutics while addressing a great health disparity in patients with glioma.
NCT02977780
This research study is studying several investigational drugs as a possible treatment for Glioblastoma (GBM). The drugs involved in this study are : * Abemaciclib (arm is currently closed to accrual) * Temozolomide (temodar) * Neratinib (arm is currently closed to accrual) * CC115 (arm is currently closed to accrual) * QBS10072S
NCT05376800
This study is open to adults with newly diagnosed glioblastoma, a type of brain tumor. The study has two parts. Part 1 is open to people who can get their brain tumor removed by surgery. Part 2 is open to people who already had such a brain surgery. This study tests a medicine called BI 907828 (Brigimadlin). BI 907828 (Brigimadlin) is a socalled MDM2 inhibitor that is being developed to treat cancer. The purpose of Part 1 of the study is to find out how BI 907828 (Brigimadlin) is taken up in the tumor. Participants take a single dose of BI 907828 (Brigimadlin) as a tablet before the brain surgery. Part 1 of the study takes about 1 month. During this time, participants have their brain tumor removed by surgery and visit the study site about 8 times. The purpose of Part 2 is to find the highest dose of BI 907828 (Brigimadlin) that the participants can tolerate in combination with standard radiation therapy. During the first 6 weeks, participants get standard radiation therapy. In addition, they take a dose of BI 907828 (Brigimadlin) once every 3 weeks. Participants may continue to take BI 907828 (Brigimadlin) as long as they benefit from treatment and can tolerate it. They visit the study site regularly. During the entire study, doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
NCT03345095
The standard of care for newly diagnosed glioblastoma includes surgery, involved-field radiotherapy, and concomitant and six cycles of maintenance temozolomide chemotherapy, however the prognosis remains dismal. Marizomib has been tested in patients with newly diagnosed and recurrent glioblastoma in phase I and phase II studies. In patients with recurrent glioblastoma, marizomib was administered as a single agent or in combination with bevacizumab (NCT02330562). Based on encouraging observations, a phase I/II trial of marizomib in combination with Temozolomide+Radiotherapy(TMZ/RT) followed by Temozolomide (TMZ) in newly diagnosed glioblastoma has been launched (NCT02903069) which explores safety and tolerability of this triple combination and which shall help to determine the dose for further clinical trials in glioblastoma. In this context, given that marizomib has been established as a safe addition to the standard TMZ/RT --\>TMZ, a phase III study is considered essential to establishing its impact on overall survival.
NCT05685004
This randomized study is designed to compare the combination of TVI-Brain-1 immunotherapy and standard therapy compared to standard therapy alone as a treatment for newly diagnosed MGMT unmethylated glioblastoma patients. The patients' own cancer cells collected after surgery are combined into a vaccine to produce an immune response that significantly increases the number of cancer neoantigen-specific effector T cell precursors in the patient's body. These cancer neoantigen-specific T cells are harvested from the blood, subsequently stimulated and expanded, and infused back into the patient.
NCT04482933
This study is a clinical trial to assess the efficacy and confirm the safety of intratumoral inoculation of G207 (an experimental virus therapy) combined with a single 5 Gy dose of radiation in recurrent/progressive pediatric high-grade gliomas
NCT05634707
The purpose of this research study is to determine if fluoxetine increases lysosomal stress in patients with recurrent IDHwt glioma by evaluating LAMP1 expression in tumor samples obtained pre-resection via biopsy and during surgery. Lysosomes are organelles (structures in cells) that contain digestive enzymes (substances that break down chemicals) that help keep the cells free of extra or worn out cell parts. Fluoxetine, a drug approved by the FDA to treat problems like depression and anxiety, can cause changes to structures in cells called lysosomes that then improve how well the chemotherapy drug temozolomide (TMZ) kills cancer cells in the brain.
NCT02586857
A Phase 1b/2, Multicenter, Open-Label Study of ACP-196 in Subjects with Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM)
NCT01107522
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and the maximum tolerated dose/recommended phase II dose of carboxyamidotriazole orotate (CTO) as a single agent in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors; in combination with oral Temodar® in patients with glioblastoma or other recurrent malignant gliomas; or in combination with oral Temodar® and radiation therapy in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma or other malignant gliomas.
NCT01063114
There are two types of external radiation treatments (proton beam and photon beam). As part of the participant's treatment, they will receive radiation to the entire central nervous system (CNS); this is known as craniospinal irradiation (CSI). In the past, photon radiation therapy has been used for CSI. In this study we will be examining the effects of proton beam radiation therapy. Studies have suggested that this kind of radiation can cause less damage to normal tissue than photon radiation therapy. The physical characteristics of proton beam radiation let the doctor safely deliver the amount of radiation delivered to the tumor that is normally delivered through standard therapy but spare more normal tissue in the process.
NCT04656535
This is a phase 0/I exploratory study. Patients at first or second recurrence of glioblastoma will be enrolled. The study will be divided into two cohorts: Cohort A (safety cohort) and Cohort B (surgical patient cohort). Cohort A: Eligible patients will be sequentially enrolled to receive intravenous domvanalimab combined with zimberelimab (N=6). Domvanalimab will be given at a dose of 10 mg/kg and zimberelimab will be given at a dose of 240 mg (flat). The dosing was determined in a separate study in solid tumors; this cohort will confirm the safety of the dosing schedule in patients with brain tumors. Cohort B: Expansion surgical cohort. The purpose of cohort B is to provide an additional safety evaluation of domvanalimab + zimberelimab as well as tissue and blood for exploratory ancillary studies investigating the effects of domvanalimab + zimberelimab in the tumor and tumor microenvironment. A total of 46 patients will be enrolled in this cohort.
