Pilot Study of Cabozantinib for Recurrent or Progressive Central Nervous System Tumors in Children...
Glioblastoma MultiformeAnaplastic Astrocytoma2 moreThis pilot will study the feasibility and exploratory efficacy of using Cabozantinib for recurrent or refractory central nervous system tumors for which there are no curative options. Patients will also be followed for safety, time to progression, event free survival and overall survival
BrUOG 329 Onivyde & Metronomic Temozolomide in Recurrent Glioblastoma
Glioblastoma MultiformeGlioblastoma1 moreNew treatments are greatly needed for patients with recurrent glioblastoma. Metronomic temozolomide is a standard treatment option but has, at best, modest activity. The nanoliposomal irinotecan may be much more active than the parent compound irinotecan since nanoliposomal irinotecan's ability to cross the blood brain barrier is improved. This phase I study will establish the MTD of the combination of nanoliposomal irinotecan in combination with temozolomide safety and preliminary clinical efficacy of the combination of nanoliposomal irinotecan and metronomic temozolomide.
RO4929097and Bevacizumab in Treating Patients With Progressive or Recurrent Malignant Glioma
Adult Anaplastic AstrocytomaAdult Anaplastic Oligodendroglioma4 moreThis phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and the best dose of RO4929097 to see how well it works when given together with bevacizumab compared to bevacizumab alone in treating patients with progressive or recurrent malignant glioma. RO4929097 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Giving RO4929097 together with bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells.
Boron Phenylalanine With or Without Mannitol in Treating Patients With Glioblastoma Multiforme
Brain and Central Nervous System TumorsRATIONALE: Giving boron phenylalanine in different ways and measuring it in tissue in patients with glioblastoma multiforme may help in planning better radiation therapy, such as boron neutron capture therapy, for patients in the future. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects, best dose boron phenylalanine, and best way of giving it with or without mannitol in treating patients with glioblastoma multiforme.
A Study of E7050 in Combination With E7080 in Participants With Advanced Solid Tumors (Dose Escalation)...
Advanced Solid TumorsThis is a multicenter, open-label, Phase 1b/2 study which will be conducted in two parts: a Phase 1b part comprising a dose escalation and an expansion cohort; and a Phase 2 part which will comprise two cohorts. The purpose of the Phase 1b part is to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of E7050 and E7080 (lenvatinib) in combination in participants with unresectable advanced or metastatic solid tumors. In the subsequent Phase 1b expansion cohort and Phase 2 cohorts, additional participants with recurrent glioblastoma or unresectable Stage III or Stage IV melanoma and disease progression after prior systemic treatment will be enrolled to confirm the MTD (expansion cohort) and to further explore the clinical activity of E7050 and lenvatinib.
Plerixafor (AMD3100) and Bevacizumab for Recurrent High-Grade Glioma
High Grade Glioma: Glioblastoma (GBM)High Grade Glioma: Gliosarcoma3 morePlerixafor in combination with bevacizumab is a drug combination that may stop cancer cells from growing abnormally. Bevacizumab, also known as Avastin, is FDA approved for use in patients with recurrent glioblastoma and has been studied extensively in other types of solid tumors. Plerixafor, also known as Mozobil, is FDA approved for use in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and multiple myeloma and has been used in treatment for other cancers. Information from experiments in laboratories suggests that the combination of plerixafor and bevacizumab may help prevent the growth of gliomas. Part 1: The investigators are looking for the highest dose of plerixafor that can be given safely with bevacizumab (with a 21 days on/7 days off regimen of plerixafor). The investigators will also do blood tests to find out how the body uses and breaks down the drug combination. Part 2: The investigators are looking to see if plerixafor can get past the blood-brain barrier and into brain tumors. The investigators will also do blood tests to find out how the body uses and breaks down the drug combination. Part 3: The investigators are looking for for more information re: safety and tolerability of plerixafor in combination with bevacizumab (with a 28 days on/0 days off regimen of plerixafor). The investigators will also do blood tests to find out how the body uses and breaks down the drug combination.
Cilengitide and Sunitinib Malate in Treating Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors or Glioblastoma...
Adult Giant Cell GlioblastomaAdult Glioblastoma3 moreThis clinical trial is studying how well giving cilengitide together with sunitinib malate works in treating patients with advanced solid tumors or glioblastoma multiforme. Cilengitide and sunitinib malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving cilengitide together with sunitinib malate may kill more tumor cells. Studying samples of blood in the laboratory from patients receiving cilengitide and sunitinib malate may help doctors understand the effect of these drugs on biomarkers.
TPI 287 in Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme
Brain CancerThe goal of this clinical research study is to learn if TPI 287 can help to control glioblastoma. The safety of this drug will also be studied.
O6-Benzylguanine-Mediated Tumor Sensitization With Chemoprotected Autologous Stem Cell in Treating...
GlioblastomaGliosarcomaThis phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of temozolomide when given together with radiation therapy, carmustine, O6-benzylguanine, and patients' own stem cell (autologous) transplant in treating patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme or gliosarcoma. Giving chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, carmustine, and O6-benzylguanine, and radiation therapy before a peripheral stem cell transplant stops the growth of cancer cells by stopping them from dividing or killing them. Giving colony-stimulating factors, such as filgrastim or plerixafor, and certain chemotherapy drugs, helps stem cells move from the bone marrow to the blood so they can be collected and stored. Chemotherapy or radiation therapy is then given to prepare the bone marrow for the stem cell transplant. The stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
Nelfinavir Mesylate, Radiation Therapy, and Temozolomide in Treating Patients With Glioblastoma...
Brain and Central Nervous System TumorsRATIONALE: Nelfinavir mesylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving nelfinavir mesylate together with radiation therapy and temozolomide may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of nelfinavir mesylate when given together with radiation therapy and temozolomide in treating patients with glioblastoma multiforme.
