Active clinical trials for "Glioblastoma"

The main purpose of this trial is to investigate the effects of a new class of drugs that help the patient's immune system attack their tumor (glioblastoma multiforme - GBM). These drugs have already shown benefit in some other cancer types and are now being explored in GBM. Both tremelimumab and durvalumab (MEDI4736) are "investigational" drugs, which means that the drugs are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Both drugs are antibodies (proteins used by the immune system to fight infections and cancers). Durvalumab attaches to a protein in tumors called PD-L1. It may prevent cancer growth by helping certain blood cells of the immune system get rid of the tumor. Tremelimumab stimulates (wakes up) the immune system to attack the tumor by inhibiting a protein molecule called CTLA-4 on immune cells. Combining the actions of these drugs may result in better treatment options for patients with glioblastoma.

This is a randomised, open-label, multi-centre, Phase II study in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. 62 patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma are enrolled in the study in a 1:2 allocation (standard of care (SOC): ALECSAT as an adjunct therapy to SOC). Patients recruited into this study will receive either: ALECSAT as an adjunct therapy to standard of care for newly diagnosed glioblastoma (first line therapy: Stupp regimen, followed by second line therapy at the Investigator's discretion) or Standard of care therapy for newly diagnosed glioblastoma (first line therapy: Stupp regimen, followed by second line therapy at the Investigator's discretion).

This is a study to determine the safety and effectiveness of high-dose radiation therapy (RT) with concurrent temozolomide in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma.

To evaluate CAN008 safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of CAN008 when administered concurrent Plus Concomitant Temozolomide During and After Radiation Therapy in Patients with Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma Multiforme.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether bevacizumab and nimustine are effective in the treatment of recurrent high grade glioma and to explore whether there is any subgroup being sensitive to this therapeutic protocol.

This study evaluates the safety associated with the addition of sulfasalazine to stereotactic radiosurgery for recurrent glioblastoma. Sulfasalazine is a potential tumor selective radiosensitizer.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of VB-111 in patients with Relapsed Glioblastoma Multiforme.

VEGF inhibition by BEV may induce a change in tumor invasiveness and treatment failure is often associated with remote metastases. BEV may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Cediranib, a pan-VEGF inhibitor has shown promising results in recurrent GBM. VEGF-blocking with small molecules may overcome the mechanism of resistance, and response to BIBF-1120 in such circumstances may open a new treatment option in GBM. In additional, recurrent glioblastomas have an extremely poor prognosis, so innovative therapies are needed.

The management of glioblastoma in elderly patients with poor performance status (KPS<70) is unsettled. This single arm phase 2 trial trial was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of temozolomide alone in this population

This phase I trial studies the side effects of vaccine therapy when given together with sargramostim in treating patients with malignant glioma. Vaccines made from survivin peptide may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Colony-stimulating factors, such as sargramostim, may increase the number of white blood cells and platelets found in bone marrow or peripheral blood. Giving vaccine therapy and sargramostim may be a better treatment for malignant glioma.
