Active clinical trials for "Glioblastoma"

The purpose of this pilot study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and the maximum tolerated dose intranasal administration of temozolomide (TMZ) as a single agent in Treatment on the patients with GBM. Intranasal administration is a new method of treating brain tumours for the direct administration of drugs, inhibitors or viruses, with minimal involvement of the BBB. The investigators know the orally prescribed standard chemotherapy temozolomide (TMZ) is widely used to treat glioma tumours. Received evidence of safety and efficacy in a full cycle of preclinical trials (on GLP Standart) and tests of calculated doses of intranasal administration of TMZ in healthy volunteers. Intranasal administration of temozolomide is considered as GBM therapy, which provides direct access to a therapeutic dose of the drug into the brain (to the neoplastic process) with low toxicity

The purpose of this study is to test the the efficacy and safety of Anlotinib in combination with STUPP regimen for patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma.

This research study involves an investigational product: Ad-RTS-hIL-12 given with veledimex for production of human IL-12. IL-12 is a protein that can improve the body's natural response to disease by enhancing the ability of the immune system to kill tumor cells and may interfere with blood flow to the tumor. Cemiplimab-rwlc (Libtayo) is an antibody (a kind of human protein) that is being tested to see if it will allow the body's immune system to work against glioblastoma tumors. Libtayo (cemiplimab-rwlc) is currently FDA approved in the United States for metastatic cutaneous cell carcinoma (CSCC), but is not approved in glioblastoma. Cemiplimab-rwlc may help your immune system detect and attack cancer cells. Ad-RTS-hIL-12 and veledimex will be given in combination with cemiplimab-rwlc to enhance the IL-12 mediated effect observed to date. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a single tumoral injection of Ad-RTS-hIL-12 given with oral veledimex in combination with cemiplimab-rwlc.

The present study aims to evaluate and compare with the histopathological analysis the various margin-assessment systems, including ultrasound, florescence, brightfield vision, new optical filters and microscope image post-processing systems, for the treatment of High Grade Gliomas (HGGs)

Glioblastoma is the most common malignant primary brain tumor with poor prognosis because of its diffusive and infiltrative nature. The FDA approved the use of the anti-VEGF antibody bevacizumab in recurrent GBM. However, resistance to this anti-angiogenic reagent is frequent and fails to enhance patients' overall survival. The investigators previously identified one novel mechanism responsible for bevacizumab-resistance in CD146-positive glioblastoma (Joshkon et al. Acta Neuropathol Commun, 2022). Now, the investigators objective is to prospectively monitor the soluble CD146 value in plasma from patients treated by bevacizumab for recurrent glioblastoma. The investigators will collect plasma at baseline, before the first bevacizumab administration, before the second administration, at the time of first MRI evaluation and at progression. Plasma CD146 value will be analyzed by ELISA. The investigators expect to confirm the correlation between soluble CD146 value in plasma and patient response to bevacizumab.

Recent advances in technology have allowed for the detection of cell-free DNA (cfDNA). cfDNA is tumor DNA that can be found in the fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord (called cerebrospinal fluid or CSF) and in the blood of patients with brain tumors. The detection of cfDNA in blood and CSF is known as a "liquid biopsy" and is non-invasive, meaning it does not require a surgery or biopsy of tumor tissue. Multiple studies in other cancer types have shown that cfDNA can be used for diagnosis, to monitor disease response to treatment, and to understand the genetic changes that occur in brain tumors over time. Study doctors hope that by studying these tests in pediatric brain tumor patients, they will be able to use liquid biopsy in place of tests that have more risks for patients, like surgery. There is no treatment provided on this study. Patients who have CSF samples taken as part of regular care will be asked to provide extra samples for this study. The study doctor will collect a minimum of one extra tube of CSF (about 1 teaspoon or 5 mL) for this study. If the patients doctor thinks it is safe, up to 2 tubes of CSF (about 4 teaspoons or up to 20 mL) may be collected. CSF will be collected through the indwelling catheter device or through a needle inserted into the lower part of the patient's spine (known as a spinal tap or lumbar puncture). A required blood sample (about ½ a teaspoon or 2 3 mL) will be collected once at the start of the study. This sample will be used to help determine changes found in the CSF. Blood will be collected from the patient's central line or arm as a part of regular care. An optional tumor tissue if obtained within 8 weeks of CSF collection will be collected if available. Similarities between changes in the DNA of the tissue that has caused the tumor to form and grow with the cfDNA from CSF will be compared. This will help understand if CSF can be used instead of tumor tissue for diagnosis. Up to 300 people will take part in this study. This study will use genetic tests that may identify changes in the genes in the CSF. The report of the somatic mutations (the mutations that are found in the tumor only) will become part of the medical record. The results of the cfDNA sequencing will be shared with the patient. The study doctor will discuss what the results mean for the patient and patient's diagnosis and treatment. There will not be any germline sequencing results reported and these will not be disclosed to the patient, patient's clinician or be recorded in patient medical record. Patient may be monitored on this study for up to 5 years.

This study seeks to determine whether the addition of ABT-414 to concomitant radiotherapy and temozolomide (TMZ) followed by combination of ABT-414 with adjuvant TMZ prolongs overall survival (OS) among participants with newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) amplification. In addition, there is a Phase 1, open-label, multicenter sub-study to assess the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of ABT-414 in participants with newly diagnosed EGFR-amplified GBM who have mild or moderate hepatic impairment.

Neoadjuvant nivolumab will be administered to patients with primary and recurrent glioblastoma multiforme that require surgery. Nivolumab will be continued following surgery.

This is an ongoing Phase 2, open-label, multicenter, non-randomized study of MEDI4736 (durvalumab) in subjects with glioblastoma (GBM) enrolled into 5 non-comparative cohorts. Primary study objectives, which vary by cohort due to differences in subject populations, include evaluation of the clinical efficacy as measured by the overall survival (OS) rate at 12 months (Cohort A), progression-free survival (PFS) at 6 months (Cohorts B, B2, and B3), and OS at 6 months (Cohort C). For all cohorts, secondary objectives include evaluation of the safety/tolerability and clinical efficacy of study treatment, and exploratory objectives include evaluation of the neurologic function and correlative biomarkers.

This is a Phase 1/2, open label study. Phase 1 consists of 2 parts. Part 1 is a dose-escalation assessment of the safety and tolerability of epacadostat administered with nivolumab in subjects with select advanced solid tumors and lymphomas. Part 2 will evaluate the safety and tolerability of epacadostat in combination with nivolumab and chemotherapy in subjects with squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck (SCCHN) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Phase 2 will include expansion cohorts in 7 tumor types, including melanoma, NSCLC, SCCHN, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, glioblastoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
