NCT07017816
This clinical trial is studying a drug called SGT-53 along with radiation and another drug called Nivolumab. It's for children with brain tumors that have come back, gotten worse, or didn't get better with earlier treatments. The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the right dose of SGT-53 that children can safely receive when it is used with radiation and Nivolumab? This dose will be used in the second phase of the trial. What side effects are there of SGT-53 when it is used with radiation and Nivolumab? How does SGT-53 move through the body when given with radiation and Nivolumab? How much of the SGT-53 drug is found in the tumor tissue? This will be tested in a small group of patients? Participants will: For the first treatment cycle: Get SGT-53 twice per week Get Nivolumab every 2 weeks Receive radiation therapy during week 2 For Cycles 2-6: Get SGT-53 once per week during even cycles and twice per week during odd cycles Get Nivolumab every 2 weeks For Cycles 7+ Get both SGT-53 and Nivolumab every 2 weeks In the phase 0 part of the study, 4 participants will have genetic testing performed on their tumor tissue after receiving SGT-53. These samples will be compared to another sample taken from the skin.
NCT04734444
The objective of this clinical investigation is to assess the safety and performance of the SonoClear Acoustic Coupling Fluid (ACF). The performance will be assessed by analysis of the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) and assessment of image quality by using the Surgeon Image Rating (SIR) Scale. This is a prospective, multi-centre single-arm study where the performance of SonoClear ACF relative to routinely used acoustic coupling fluid is investigated by each patient being their own control. Patients with the diagnosis of HGG and LGG at up to 10 sites will be included. Additionally, safety data are collected at 30 days and 6 months post-procedure.
NCT05702944
Pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) are rare neuroendocrine tumors originating from catecholamine producing chromaffin cells in the adrenal medulla and extra-adrenal paraganglia. The overall age-standardized incidence rate is 0.18 per 100,000 person-years in Korea. The definitive treatment of PPGL is surgical excision of tumor. However, surgery is associated with a high risk of perioperative hemodynamic instability (HI). To avoid perioperative HI in patients diagnosed with PPGL, preoperative management including routine use of alpha blockade and volume expansion has been advocated by several guidelines. While unstable hypertension and tachycardia should be controlled in patients with PPGL, there is controversial that all patients diagnosed with PPGL should undergo preoperative pharmacological treatment, especially alpha blockade. The most important risk of preoperative alpha blockade use is perioperative hypotension. A recent study reported that patients diagnosed with PPGL postoperatively may have no further higher risk of intraoperative hypertension than those diagnosed preoperatively despite insufficient preoperatively management of PPGL. Therefore, it is a very important to study the relationship between HI and preoperative alpha blockade in normotensive patients diagnosed with PPGL. The aim this study is to analyze the effect and safety of omitting preoperative alpha-adrenergic blockade for normotensive pheochromocytoma through a prospective randomized controlled trial. The patients is divided into two groups. The patients in control group take a phenoxybenzamine at least 2 to 5 weeks before surgery. The patients in case group do not take a phenoxybenzamine. Primary outcome is to evaluate the percentage of time during surgery with systolic blood pressure more than 160mmHg or average blood pressure less than 60mmHg. And secondary outcomes are to evaluate hemodynamic instability in preoperative ward and postoperative ward.
NCT07015710
This study aimed to assess the impact of gamma knife radiosurgery on tectal plate gliomas (TPGs).
NCT05775458
Gliomas are the most frequent type of primary brain tumors in adults; among them glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most malignant, being associated with the worst prognosis. Glutamate (Glu) is an aminoacid, responsible for essential functions in the Central Nervous System (CNS), acting both as metabolite and neurotransmitter. It is essential for regulating cellular metabolism and developmental synaptogenesis, cellular migration, differentiation and death. Recent scientific evidences have demonstrated alteration in Glu synthesis and signaling being directly involved in GBM growth and invasion
NCT04406272
This research study is studying a new viral cancer therapy, ofranergene obadenovec (VB-111), for recurrent or progressive glioblastoma (GBM), a brain tumor that is growing or progressing despite earlier treatment.
NCT02655601
This is a Phase 2 study of newly diagnosed patients with high grade glioma (HGG) undergoing standard radiation therapy and temozolomide treatment. BMX-001 added to radiation therapy and temozolomide has the potential not only to benefit the survival of high grade glioma patients but also to protect against deterioration of cognition and impairment of quality of life. BMX-001 will be given subcutaneously first with a loading dose zero to four days prior to the start of chemoradiation and followed by twice a week doses at one-half of the loading dose for the duration of radiation therapy plus two weeks. Both safety and efficacy of BMX-001 will be evaluated. Impact on cognition will also be assessed. Eighty patients will be randomized to the treatment arm that will receive BMX-001 while undergoing chemoradiation and 80 patients randomized to receive chemoradiation alone. The sponsor hypothesizes that BMX-001 when added to standard radiation therapy and temozolomide will be safe at pharmacologically relevant doses in patients with newly diagnosed high grade glioma. The sponsor also hypothesizes that the addition of BMX-001 will positively impact the overall survival and improve objective measures of cognition in newly diagnosed high grade glioma patients.
NCT06472440
: The evaluation of gliomas in imaging represents a real challenge today, at the initial diagnosis, for therapeutic planning or follow-up treatment of these lesions. There is an urgent need for non-invasive imaging tools to evaluate a glioma throughout its management. At present, the diagnosis of certainty is only obtained through an anatomo-pathological analysis with sampling during an invasive procedure (surgery or biopsy). Magnetic resonance imaging, through perfusion, diffusion imaging or spectroscopy is developing in gliomas. However, it remains time-consuming and is not always available. At the same time, positron emission tomography (PET) with amino acids is an interesting alternative for these brain tumours. Amino acid PET has the advantage of being more specific than the abnormalities detected in MRI and the amino acid radiotracers cross the blood-brain barrier, even if not broken, unlike Gadolinium in MRI. Among these radiotracers, 18F-FDOPA can, among other things, assist in the non-invasive staging of gliomas at initial diagnosis

NCT03834740
In the proposed trial, patients will be administered ribociclib+everolimus prior to surgical resection of their tumor. Recurrent GBM patients will be randomized into one of the three time-interval cohorts for the first two dose levels. In the lead-in dose escalation study, the first six subjects (lead-in) will receive ribociclib 400 mg and everolimus 2.5 mg orally-administered in 5 daily doses with the last dose. If one or less patient experiences DLT among the 6 patients, this regimen with ribociclib 400 mg and everolimus 2.5mg will be considered safe and we will continue with the dose escalation phase of the study up to Level 3. Four dose escalation levels: Level 0: ribociclib 400mg and everolimus 2.5 Level 1: ribociclib 600mg and everolimus 2.5mg Level 2: ribociclib 600mg and everolimus 5mg Level 3: ribociclib 600mg and everolimus 10mg
NCT02311582
The blood brain barrier (BBB) is a major obstacle to drug delivery in the treatment of malignant brain tumors including glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). MRI-guided laser ablation (MLA) has been noted to disrupt peritumoral the blood brain barrier (BBB), which may then lead to increased access of new tumor antigens to the lymphovascular system and vice versa of immune effector cells to the tumor for effective activation of the immune system, and tumor infiltration, respectively. Therefore, the combination of MK-3475 and MLA as proposed in this protocol is hypothesized to create a therapeutic combinatorial effect in which MLA increases material access to promote immune activation and then MK-3475 maximizes these tumor-specific immune reactions to impart effective tumor control.
NCT00526812

NCT06381570
This is a Pilot, multicenter, open-label study of patients less than or equal to 25 years, with recurrent or progressive LGG harboring a CRAF or BRAF alteration, including BRAF V600 mutations and KIAA1549: BRAF fusions. Patients with BRAF or CRAF alterations will be identified through molecular assays as routinely performed at Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) of 1988 or other similarly certified laboratories. The study will be conducted in two sequential phases: Phase A: A Feasibility (combination dose finding) phase, followed by Phase B: An Efficacy phase. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of the combination as determined in Phase A would be the dose used in Phase B. The patients on Phase A who were below the MTD/RP2D would be eligible for intra-patient dose escalation to MTD/RP2D subject to criteria outlined later
NCT03477110
This pilot early phase I trial studies the side effects of temozolomide, radiation therapy, and tumor treating fields therapy using Novo tumor treatment fields (TTF)-200A device in participants with glioblastoma. 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. NovoTTF-200A device is a portable device that produces alternating electrical fields that may disrupt growth of cancer cells. Giving temozolomide, radiation therapy, and tumor treating fields therapy using NovoTTF-200A device may work better in treating participants with glioblastoma.
NCT06673329
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of using brodalumab in patients who develop side effects from cancer immune therapy. Immune-related side effects are due to activation of the immune system in patients who previously received immunotherapy and the goal of this study is to help better control these side effects. Brodalumab is often used to treat patients with autoimmune diseases (diseases where the immune system is activated against normal organs) and safe doses and treatment schedules have been determined in these patients. Immune-related side effects appear to closely mirror these autoimmune conditions. Brodalumab has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in immunotherapy side effects but it has been approved for treatment of autoimmune conditions.
