Active clinical trials for "Glioblastoma"

In this study the investigators will select and develop potential therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for glioblastoma (GB). Activities include tissue microarray (TMA) to test monoclonal antibodies specificity and target distribution, selection of glioblastoma specific functional monoclonal antibodies, identification of candidate targets.

The purpose of this study is to assess the relationship between brain malignancy volume as defined by post-contrast T1 weighted and F18 Fluciclovine before and following LITT. We hypothesize that imaging with F18 Fluciclovine will be superior to anatomic MR imaging in lesion volume assessment before treatment and that residual F18 Fluciclovine defined tumor will predict local post-LITT disease recurrence.

To evaluate 18F-FDOPA PET obtained from PET/CT or PET/MRI imaging in patients with newly diagnosed or recurrent gliomas.

The goal of this study is to perform genetic sequencing on brain tumors from children, adolescents, and young adult patients who have been newly diagnosed with a high-grade glioma. This molecular profiling will decide if patients are eligible to participate in a subsequent treatment-based clinical trial based on the genetic alterations identified in their tumor.

This exploratory study uses [18F] Fluciclatide and Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) to be treated with Bevacizumab. The primary objective of this study is to determine the association of [18F] Fluciclatide uptake, fludeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake, and tumor blood flow/perfusion determined with H215O and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and correlate these variables with time to progression (TTP) in participants with GBM treated with Bevacizumab.

The study investigates valproic acid added to radiation and temozolomide therapy (standard of care) for progressive or recurrent pediatric brain tumors.

The primary objective of this trial is to determine the optimal dose and imaging time point(s) of I-124-CLR1404 in subjects with newly diagnosed and recurrent glioma to be used in future trials.

The investigators hope to improve overall median survival of patients with recurrent Glioblastoma by investigating continuous low-dose daily Temozolomide plus or minus five treatments of re-irradiation.

To collect and preserve glioblastoma tissue during standard of care tumor resection surgery and blood for future molecular and genetic testing. Tissue for research will be collected from three different regions within the same tumor to study how these regions differ in their structure, DNA, and RNA and also to compare the data obtained from this testing to imaging data found in the medical record. The goal of this study is to help us better understand what the glioblastoma tumor tissue looks like and how it functions. This understanding can lead to new therapies for the treatment of glioblastoma in the future.

This is a feasibility single arm study designed for obtaining early data for optimization and evaluation of the clinical potential for a new MR technique using deuterated glucose. The purpose of the study is to investigate whether this technique is useful in metabolic imaging of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and whether radiochemotherapy (RCT) induced changes in the brain metabolism can be detected and might be predictive for treatment response. The study will include 10 patients with histologically verified GBM scheduled for standard RCT. Patients will have MRI scan performed before and within 8 weeks after starting RCT. The scans will include imaging after oral intake of deuterated glucose, so called deuterium metabolic imaging (DMI). Based on this study, the most optimal scanning technique, output variables of highest discriminative power with respect to RCT, and potential predictive markers for response will be selected for further clinical investigation.
