Active clinical trials for "Glioblastoma"

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate a drug called niraparib in patients with glioblastoma that was previously treated but has returned (called recurrent glioblastoma, or rGBM). Through this study, investigators would like to find out the best dose of niraparib to give to treat the disease when given together with radiotherapy (known in this study as reirradiation, or re-RT). Patients receive 10 doses of reirradiation over approximately 2 weeks. At the same time, niraparib capsules are taken orally at home, every day. Niraparib treatment continues until the patient is required to stop either because the treatment stops working or because of side-effects. Participants will come into clinic weekly for blood tests and clinical examinations in the first month of treatment. After this, the assessments will be done monthly. Once the patient has finished niraparib treatment, the patient will enter follow-up and be seen once a year to see if there are any late side-effects from trial treatment, how the disease is doing, and if further treatments have been received for it. This follow-up continues until the end of the trial.

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of dexamethasone when given with azeliragon in managing cerebral edema after surgery (post-resection) in patients with glioblastoma. Cerebral edema is a pathological increase in the water mass contained within the brain interstitial space. Dexamethasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Azeliragon is an oral RAGE inhibitor. Blocking the RAGE pathway at the time of surgery (peri-operatively) may decrease cerebral edema. Giving dexamethasone with azeliragon may help control post-operative cerebral edema in decreasing doses of concurrently administered dexamethasone.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and feasibility of recording brain activity within and around high-grade glioma tumors at the time of surgery. A small biopsy will be taken at the sites of the recordings.

Proposed treatment of subjects with newly diagnosed glioblastoma with novel personalized drug regimens identified to be effective in vitro using cancer stem cells derived from their individual tumors, alongside standard of care radiation and TMZ.

To investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of superselective cerebral arterial infusion of Bevacizumab combined with intrathecal injection of Tislelizumab in the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma

The purpose of this study is to examine the use of activated T cells (ATCs) to assess the safety and tolerability of autologous activated T cells, as measured by the number of Grade 3 or higher toxicities, the number of serious adverse events, and treatment-related toxicities, according to National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Version 5, to find the maximum tolerated dose. The secondary objectives include evaluating the rate of overall survival, rate of progression-free survival, health-related quality of life parameters, overall response rate, immune response, and tumor stem cell antigen expression.

This study will assess whole brain samples from glioblastoma patients at autopsy to determine the underlying pathological signatures of tumor treatment fields at autopsy.

For patients with glioblastoma,postoperative radiotherapy combined with concurrent and adjuvant temozolomide (Stupp regimen) has long been considered a standard treatment approach.The treatment outcomes, however, are still dismal, with a median overall survival time of 8-12 months. As a novel small molecule multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor, anlotinib hydrochloride has been found to be able to inhibit both tumor angiogenesis and cell growth.Previous studies on recurrent glioblastoma have demonstrated its effectiveness in tumor control with manageable toxicities. The current study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of the additional anlotinib hydrochloride to the Stupp regimen for newly diagnosed glioblastoma.

This is a phase 1 study to determine the feasibility and utility of using serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess treatment response during and after radiation therapy (standard of care cancer treatment) for participants with advanced esophageal cancer, glioblastoma, prostate cancer, vulvar cancer or pediatric glioma. The research study procedures include three MRI scans (one before, one during, and one after standard of care cancer radiation therapy) for participants with advanced esophageal cancer, glioblastoma, prostate cancer, vulvar cancer or pediatric glioma. The research study procedures include: Screening for eligibility Three MRI scans

This study aims to analyze the role the of Regorafenib in prolonging the Overall Survival of glioblastoma multiforme patients who progressed after surgery and a first-line chemo-radiotherapy treatment in the setting of "real world life".
