Active clinical trials for "Glioblastoma"

A single-center, open-label, non-randomized phase I/II study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerance of crizanlizumab monotherapy and in combination with nivolumab in patients with advanced glioblastoma (GB) who exhausted standard of care (SOC) therapy, patients with metastatic brain melanoma (MBM) and patients with newly diagnosed unmethylated GB. Subjects will be screened for up to 28 days prior to treatment initiation. Eligible subjects will be allocated to one of 3 cohorts: Cohort 1: Patients with metastatic melanoma with primarily diagnosed or newly progressing brain metastases who failed immunotherapy. Cohort 2: Patients with recurrent or progressing GB following primary radiation therapy and temozolomide. Patients may have failed up to 2 prior systemic treatment lines (including temozolomide as adjuvant therapy) and are candidates for further treatment. Cohort 3: Patients with newly diagnosed GB who were evaluated for methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase(MGMT) methylation status and have un-methylated MGMT promotor-therefore, they are not candidates for maintenance temozolomide therapy.

The goal of this phase II randomized clinical trial is to compare the safety and efficacy of Elemene plus Stupp Protocol (the new protocol) and Stupp Protocol alone (the standard protocol) in patients with newly-diagnosed glioblastomas (ndGBMs). The main questions to answer are: Whether the new treatment protocol (Elemene plus Stupp Protocol) is clinically safe for ndGBM patients. Whether the new treatment protocol (Elemene plus Stupp Protocol) brings better survival benefits for ndGBM patients compared to the standard-of-care Stupp Protocol. Study participants will be enrolled in 5 hospitals in China and randomly assigned to receive either the new protocol or the standard protocol. The overall survival (OS) rate in the 12th month, the progression-free survival (PFS) rate in the 6th month, OS, PFS, and adverse events assessed by the CTCAE (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) will be evaluated for all patients.

This phase II trial tests how well erdafitinib works in controlling IDH-wild type (WT) glioma with FGFR-TACC gene fusion that has come back (recurrent) or that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive). Erdafitinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal FGFR protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This may help keep cancer cells from growing and may kill them. Giving erdafitinib may help to slow the growth of or to shrink tumor cells in patients with recurrent or progressive IDH-wild type glioma with FGFR-TACC gene fusion.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Tislelizumab (one anti-PD-1 antibody same as nivolumab approved in China) in combination with bevacizumab in patients with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma (GBM) who have progressed on bevacizumab with or without PTEN or TERT gene mutations.

This multi-site, Phase 1/2 clinical trial is an open-label study to identify the safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of a repeated dose regimen of NEO212 for the treatment of patients with radiographically-confirmed progression of Astrocytoma IDH-mutant, Glioblastoma IDH-wildtype, and the safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of a repeated dose regimen of NEO212 when given with select SOC for the treatment of solid tumor patients with radiographically confirmed uncontrolled brain metastasis. The study will have three phases, Phase 1, Phase 2a and Phase 2b.

This Clinical study is framed in the ALBATROSS Project: Clinically validated decision support system based on pixel level Artificial Intelligent models for deciding treatment in glioblastoma. The prospective multicenter international dataset compiled during the ALBATROSS project will include a cohort up to 300 new patients diagnosed with GB after June 1, 2020. Longitudinal images (T1, T2, T1c, FLAIR, PWI-DSC and DWI at least), complete molecular profiling, primary and secondary lines of treatment and clinical conditions will be included for each patient.

Glioblastoma is the most common primary malignancy of the central nervous system with a very poor prognosis. Most of the immunotherapies that have made significant breakthroughs in the treatment of other tumors in recent years are unsatisfactory in the application of glioblastoma, which is mainly inseparable from the highly inhibitory immune microenvironment formed by the latter. Therefore, how to change this "immune desert" and better activate immune effector cells to play an anti-tumor effect is currently a hot spot in glioma immune research. In recent years, there has been continuous research support that the myeloid cells of the central nervous system are partly derived from the bone marrow of the skull, and there is a special channel connection between the skull and the dura mater, through which immune cells can be transported. This suggests that some of the tumor-associated macrophages recruited in the glioblastoma microenvironment may be passed through the dura mater. In previous animal experiments, we blocked the main blood supply to the dura mater by ligating the bilateral external carotid arteries of mice, cutting off the potential supply of dura mater to suppressor myeloid cells in the lesion. The results showed that after ligation of bilateral external carotid arteries, the survival period of tumor-forming mice was significantly prolonged and the prognosis was improved. The proportion of myeloid cells in the tumor microenvironment of mice decreased significantly, and the expression of tumor suppressor molecules such as arginase Arg1 decreased, indicating that the improvement of mouse prognosis was closely related to the proportion and phenotypic changes of myeloid cells after dural blood supply blockade. The meningeal lymphatic system of the human central nervous system has been shown to be an important part of the immune system, while the external carotid artery system, the main source of blood supply to the dura, carries abundant immune cells that ooze out to the dura mater through the endothelial window hole of the dural blood vessel, which is an important source of dural immune cells. In the glioblastoma immune microenvironment, the source of immune cells includes dural branches from the external carotid artery system in addition to branches of the internal carotid artery system. Therefore, for patients diagnosed with glioblastoma, this study involves embolization of the dural branch of the external carotid artery system (bilateral middle meningeal artery) to block the dural blood supply before craniotomy. At the same time, microsurgery under multimodal image navigation was used to remove the tumor. It is expected to be effective in reducing the proportion of myeloid suppressor cells in the tumor microenvironment, slowing the growth rate of residual tumor cells, and prolonging the tumor-free progression and survival of patients.

International registry for cancer patients evaluating the feasibility and clinical utility of an Artificial Intelligence-based precision oncology clinical trial matching tool, powered by a virtual tumor boards (VTB) program, and its clinical impact on pts with advanced cancer to facilitate clinical trial enrollment (CTE), as well as the financial impact, and potential outcomes of the intervention.

This is an exploratory, non-interventional and translational clinical study. The aim of this study is to analyze blood and cerebrospinal fluid metabolomic profile in glioma patients.
