Active clinical trials for "Glioblastoma"

Hypothesis: The central hypothesis underlying the proposed research study is that FET-PET will predict durable benefit in patients receiving anti-angiogenic benefit for presumed recurrent GBM (i.e. progression-free survival and overall survival). We have defined one primary specific aim, for which we expect to obtain definitive results, and two secondary aims, under which we plan to generate preliminary data to support a future, larger project.

In the current study, the investigators will evaluate intratumoral pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic data associated with the administration of the HDACI, Panobinostat, among recurrent GBM patients. In addition, this study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of this agent, as well as evidence of anti-tumor activity in the patient population.

RATIONALE: Biological therapies, such as lymphokine-activated killer cells, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as Gliadel wafer, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether lymphokine-activated killer cells are more effective than Gliadel wafer in treating patients with glioblastoma multiforme. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well lymphokine-activated killer cells work compared with Gliadel wafer in treating patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme that can be removed by surgery.

The objective of this study is to investigate tolerability, safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and efficacy of oral OKN-007 in participants with recurrent high-grade glioma.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and clinical activity of NKG2D-based CAR-T cells infusion in the treatment of relapsed/refractory NKG2DL+ solid tumors.

This is a study to determine the efficacy, safety and clinical benefit (how well the drugs works), of the pharmaceutical compositions in Nasal Spray NST-4G for the treatment of brain tumors( Recurrent Glioblastoma, Gliosarcoma,Anaplastic Gliomas, Previously Treated). All drugs target the inhibition of the growth factors and neo-angiogenesis as one the main reasons for the growth of the tumor. The purpose of the Nasal Spray NST-4G study is to determine the safety and tolerability in order to establish the best dose level to be used in future studies.

This phase I trial studies the effects of ONC201 in combination with standard of care radiation therapy in treating patients with glioblastoma that has come back (recurrent). ONC201 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high energy photons to kill tumors cells and shrink tumors. Giving ONC201 in combination with radiation therapy may help treat patients with recurrent glioblastoma.

A prospective, open label, single-center, early feasibility trial will be conducted to assess the safety and feasibility of a home-based Static Magnetic and Electric (sBE) device applied for 8 hours/day during sleep in adult participants with recurrent glioblastoma (rGBM) at their first relapse.

Glioblastoma (GBM) comprises about 16% of all malignancies of the nervous system and over 50% of all gliomas. Standard of care for newly-diagnosed GBM is a combination of surgical debulking followed by concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy with temozolomide. Efforts to improve second-line therapy in GBM have met with only marginal success and there is a large unmet medical need for new therapies. G-202 (mipsagargin) is an example of prodrug chemotherapy. It is activated by Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA), which is expressed by some cancer cells and in the blood vessels of most solid tumors, including GBM, but not by normal cells or blood vessels in normal tissue. It is believed that activation of the prodrug G-202 will allow the drug to kill cancer cells. This study will evaluate the activity, safety and CNS exposure of G-202 in patients with PSMA-positive recurrent or progressive GMB receiving G-202 by intravenous infusion on three consecutive days of a 28-day cycle.

The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of SCH 900105 that can be given to patients with glioblastoma before surgery. The safety of this drug will also be studied.
