Active clinical trials for "Glioblastoma"

The treatment option for recurrent glioblastoma is limited. Immune cell based therapy for glioblastoma has shown some efficacy. This study is designed to perform a personalized clinical trial by first analyzing the expression of tumor associated antigens in patients with recurrent glioblastoma and then immunizing the patients with personalized antigen pulsed DCs. Immune responses to the immunized antigens will be monitored. Safety and efficacy will be observed in this study.

Dendritic cell-based cellular vaccine for tumor therapy has shown efficacy. This study is designed to perform a personalized clinical trial by first analyzing the expression of tumor associated antigens in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma and then immunizing the patients with personalized DC-based cellular vaccine. Immune responses to tumor antigens will be monitored. Safety and efficacy will be observed in the study.

This is a multi-center, phase Ib/ II study (two parts) with patients that had recurrent glioblastoma multiforme. The first part (phase Ib) was to investigate the maximum tolerated dose/Recommended phase ll dose (MTD/RP2D) of once daily buparlisib in combination with every-three-week carboplatin or buparlisib once daily in combination with every-six-week lomustine (CCNU) using a Bayesian model. Once MTD/ RP2D is established in either of the 2 arms, the corresponding phase II portion of the study was to start. Phase II was to assess the treatment effect of buparlisib in combination with carboplatin in terms of Progression Free Survival (PFS) and was to compare the treatment effect of buparlisib with lomustine versus lomustine plus placebo in terms of PFS. A preliminary assessment for both combinations (buparlisib plus carboplatin or lomustine) demonstrated that there was not enough antitumor activity compared to historical data with single agent carboplatin or lomustine. Based on the overall safety profile, and preliminary anti-tumor activity observed in this study, Novartis decided that no additional patients would be enrolled into this study. As a consequence, the Phase II part of the study was not conducted.

The proposed study is an open-label, single-arm, Phase- II trial to assess the efficacy of cabazitaxel in GBM WHO grade IV patients with a progression during or within 6 months after last temozolomide treatment (Figure 1). Cabazitaxel will be given at a dose of 25mg/m² as 1h infusion every 3 weeks with standard concomitant medication (as outlined below): On Day 1 of each cycle, patients will receive cabazitaxel at a dose of 25mg/m², administered by i.v. route in 1 hour. Cycle length for cabazitaxel is 3 weeks (21 days). New cycles of therapy may not begin until Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥1500/mm3, platelet count ≥75 000/mm3, and non-hematological toxicities (except alopecia) have recovered to baseline. A maximum of 2 weeks (14 days) delay is allowed between 2 treatment cycles. Patients should come off treatment if treatment delay is more than 2 weeks. At least 30 minutes prior to each administration of cabazitaxel, patients will receive i.v. premedication including: An antihistamine (dexchlorpheniramine 5mg, diphenhydramine 25mg, or equivalent). In case of i.v. antihistamine other than promethazine is not being available, local practice should be followed. Corticosteroid (dexamethasone 8mg or equivalent) H2 antagonist (ranitidine or equivalent). Antiemetic prophylaxis is recommended and can be given orally or intravenously if necessary. Primary prophylaxis with Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) should be given on day 4 of each treatment cycle as per ASCO and ESMO guidelines.

This clinical trial studies disulfiram in treating patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) who have completed radiation therapy with temozolomide. Disulfiram may block some of the enzymes needed for tumor cell growth and improve clinical outcome in GBM patients.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of azurin-derived cell-penetrating peptide p28 (p28) in treating patients with recurrent or progressive central nervous system tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as azurin-derived cell-penetrating peptide p28, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.

In this study, investigators will conduct a phase I/II trial in recurrent (temozolomide resistant) glioma patients. The overall goal of this study is to provide a foundation for future studies with indoximod tested in newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients with radiation and temozolomide, or in combination with vaccine therapies.

This is a study to determine the clinical benefit (how well the drug works), safety, and tolerability of combining varlilumab and nivolumab (also known as Opdivo® , BMS-936558). Both drugs target the immune system and may act to promote anti-cancer effects.

This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of depatuxizumab mafodotin (ABT-414) alone or with temozolomide versus temozolomide or lomustine alone in adult participants with recurrent glioblastoma. The study also included a substudy to evaluate safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of ABT-414 in a pediatric population.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical benefit and safety of two different Dose-Intense temozolomide regimens（one-week on/one-week off regimen versus continuous dose-intense regimen）in patients with glioblastoma at first relapse.
