Active clinical trials for "Glioblastoma"

The primary objective of the study is to determine whether overall survival of newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients treated with lysate-loaded, mature dendritic cell vaccines as add-on to the standard of care consisting of resection, radiotherapy with concomitant temozolomide chemotherapy and subsequent adjuvant temozolomide chemotherapy is superior to the treatment with the standard of care alone.

The main objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of NK-92/5.28.z and to determine the maximum tolerated dose or maximum feasible dose (MFD). Recommended phase 2 doses both for intraoperative injections only (RP2Diio) and repetitive injections (RP2Dri) will be determined. Frequent side effects and target organs of toxicity and their severity, duration and reversibility will be determined. Furthermore, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics will be examined. In addition, potential signs of anti-tumor activity of NK-92/5.28.z cells will be analyzed. In the separate "CAR2BRAIN-Check" cohort, combination therapy of NK-92/5.28.z with the anti-PD-1 antibody Ezabenlimab (BI 754091) will be tested.

This study will test an investigational drug called AZD1390 in combination with radiation therapy for the treatment of brain tumors. This is the first time AZD1390 is being given to patients. This study will test safety, tolerability and PK (how the drug is absorbed, distributed and eliminated) of ascending doses of AZD1390 in combination with distinct regimens of radiation therapy

This study is a clinical trial to determine the safety of inoculating G207 (an experimental virus therapy) into a recurrent or refractory cerebellar brain tumor. The safety of combining G207 with a single low dose of radiation, designed to enhance virus replication, tumor cell killing, and an anti-tumor immune response, will also be tested.

This is a multi-center, phase II/III, open-label, randomized, parallel and standard chemoradiation-controlled study where eligible subjects will be randomized at 1:1 ratio to receive control treatment or study treatment. The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the effect of add-on JP001 to standard chemoradiation in increasing overall survival (OS) on newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM) patients.

Background: Gliomas are the most common malignant brain tumors. Some have certain changes (mutations) in the genes IDH1 or IDH2. If there are a high number of mutations in a tumor, it is called hypermutator phenotype (HMP). The drug nivolumab helps the immune system fight cancer. Researchers think it can be more effective in patients with IDH1 or IDH2 mutated gliomas with HMP. They will test gliomas with and without HMP. Objectives: To see if nivolumab stops tumor growth and prolongs the time that the tumor is controlled. Eligibility: Adults 18 years or older with IDH1 or IDH2 mutated gliomas Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Heart, blood, and pregnancy tests Review of symptoms and activity levels Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Participants will lie in a cylinder that takes pictures in a strong magnetic field. Tumor samples Participants will get the study drug in 4-week cycles. They will get it through a small plastic tube in a vein (IV) on days 1 and 15 of cycles 1-4. For cycles 5-16, they will get it just on day 1. On days 1 and 15 of each cycle, participants will repeat some or all screening tests. After cycle 16, participants will have 3 follow-up visits over 100 days. They will answer health questions, have physical and neurological exams, and have blood tests. They may have a brain MRI. Participants whose disease did not get worse but who finished the study drug within 1 year of treatment may have imaging studies every 8 weeks for up to 1 year. Participants will be called or emailed every 6 months with questions about their health.

Newly diagnosed HLA-A2-positive MGMT-methylated glioblastoma patients will be vaccinated with a Multi peptide vaccination with Pam3Cys-GDPKHPKSF (XS15) as an immunomodulator in addition to standard postoperative radiation therapy and temozolomide chemotherapy to assess immunogenicity, efficacy, safety of the combination of multipeptide vaccination and the immune modulator XS15 emulsified in Montanide ISA 51 VG

The primary protocol objective is to assess the impact of substituting pulsed reduced dose radiotherapy (pRDR) for standard radiation therapy in the upfront treatment of glioblastoma (GBM) on disease progression.

RSC-101 is a Phase 1a/1b clinical trial of RSC-1255 in adult study participants with advanced solid tumor malignancies who are intolerant of existing therapies known to provide clinical benefit, have disease that has progressed after standard therapy, or have previously failed other therapies. The study has two phases. The purpose of Phase 1a (Dose Escalation) is to confirm the appropriate treatment dose and Phase 1b (Dose Expansion) is to characterize the safety and efficacy of RSC-1255.

The aim of this trial is to test a new potential treatment, skullremodeling surgery (SR-surgery) combined with tumor treating fields (TTFields), for patients with first recurrence of malignant brain tumor (first recurrence of glioblastoma). Glioblastoma is one of the most malignant cancers. TTFields is a new treatment for brain cancer (glioblastoma), which is used in additional to surgery (removal of the tumor), chemotherapy and radiation. TTFields work by sending alternating current to the tumor. The current disrupts cell division and thus prevents cancer growths. Electrodes are placed on the scalp and the current is delivered via a small portable battery (1kg). Treatment duration is 18 hours during the day, where the patient can do normal daily activities. The average life expectancy of a newly diagnosed brain cancer patient (glioblastoma) is increased from 15 months to 21 months by adding TTFields. SR-surgery is a minor and safe procedure, that involves creating small burrholes in the skull over the tumor location. The burrholes are approximately 15 mm in diameter. The burrholes increase the electric current in the tumor by funneling the electricity trough the path of least resistance, since bone hinders the electricity. The theory is that combining TTFields with SR-surgery we can increase the effect of TTFields and in return increase overall survival for brain cancer patients. The investigators have recently finished a phase 1 clinical trial, with 15 trial participants, testing the safety and efficacy of our combined treatment. The investigators concluded that TTFields and SR-surgery combined is safe and showed promising results by increasing overall survival with the trial participants. Therefor we wish to proceed with a phase 2 trial. Method The investigators aim to include 70 patients with first recurrence of glioblastoma (brain cancer). Each patient will be randomized to one of two treatment arms. Both treatment arms will receive the best current brain tumor treatment. In addition, one arm receives TTF and the other arm TTFields and SR-surgery. All patients are expected to receive better treatment than current best practice, since TTFields is not standard treatment in Denmark. The primary aim of the trial is to assess the 12-month overall survival in both groups. The theory is that more trial participants will be alive after 12 months in the group that receives both TTF and SR-surgery. The trial duration is 36 months with an average expected follow-up of 18 months.
