Active clinical trials for "Brain Neoplasms"

This study compares the effectiveness and safety of two radiation treatment techniques for patients with multiple brain metastases.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of pyrotinib combined with trastuzumab and abraxane in HER2-positive MBC with brain metastasis.

This is a multi-center, single-arm, open-label, Phase 2 clinical study of Dacomitinib for EGFR Mutated Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) With Brain Metastases.

Pritumumab is a human IgG1 kappa antibody that binds to a malignant tumor associated antigen, ecto domain-vimentin (EDV) which is expressed in a variety of tumor cells. Pritumumab was shown to have relatively high reactivity with brain cancer cell lines, while no reactivity was demonstrated with normal neurons, astrocytes or fetal cerebral cells. Pritumumab has notable antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), brain tumor penetration and antitumor activity in nude mouse human xenograft models. Primary Objectives - To determine the safety and/or tolerability and the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of escalating, intravenously (IV) administered Pritumumab doses in patients with recurrent gliomas or with brain metastases. Secondary Objectives To determine pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of Pritumumab To identify preliminary signals of anti-tumor response to Pritumumab To explore disease-related, patient-reported outcomes

This study is designed to assess the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetic profiles, immunogenicity of GB222 in Chinese patients with relapsed/progressive high-grade glioma; moreover, changes in cerebral edema, changes in KPS score from baseline, objective response rate (ORR), 4-month progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS)will be evaluated. The dose reduction of hormone during continuous administration period will be observed.

Brain metastasis is the most common neurological complication in tumor patients, and lung cancer is the most common tumor with brain metastasis. The prognosis of patients with non-small cell lung cancer with brain metastasis is poor. If not treated, the median survival time was about 1 month, the median survival time for steroid therapy was about 2 to 3 months, and the median survival time for patients receiving whole brain radiotherapy was about 3 to 6 months. Studies have shown that the incidence of brain metastasis is not only related to tumor size, N stage and tumor cell type, but also more likely to occur in NSCLC patients with sensitive gene mutation. With the rapid development of NSCLC molecular targeted therapy and precise radiotherapy, the new main therapeutic methods for NSCLC brain metastasis in recent years include stereotactic radiotherapy for (SRT),. Based on intensity modulated technique, simultaneous modulated accelerated radiation therapy for Brain(SMART-Brain) and molecular targeted therapy were carried out. However, at present, the best treatment choice for NSCLC brain metastasis, especially for asymptomatic brain metastasis patients, is still controversial. The choice and combined application mode of individualized treatment for different patients is still a problem to be explored. Based on the synergistic effect of radiotherapy and molecular targeted therapy on the basis of cell and molecule, The purpose of this study was to prospectively compare the efficacy of radiotherapy combined with targeted therapy and targeted therapy alone in patients with asymptomatic NSCLC brain metastasis with gene sensitive mutations, and subgroup analysis of different molecular targets and mutation sites. It is expected that this study will provide a basis for optimizing the curative effect of patients with NSCLC brain metastasis.

This is a prospective phase II clinical study to assess the efficacy of Sintilimab combined with Bevacizumab for driving gene-negative, asymptomatic brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer by intracranial ORR(iORR),also iPFS,ORR and PFS.The safety and tolerability is evaluated as well.

Anti PD-1 monoclonal antibodies (nivolumab and pembrolizumab) alone or in association with antiCTLA4 (Ipilimumab) are established as indisputable treatment of metastatic melanoma, with unprecedented overall survival, and are indicated for first-line treatment including patients with BRAF mutation. Given their high molecular weight, their penetration in the brain sanctuary is uncertain and relies on disruption of the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) which occurs occasionally. SonoCloud® is an implantable device delivering low intensity pulsed UltraSound (US). Along with systemic injection of an US resonator, SonoCloud® demonstrated safe and efficient at repetitively opening the BBB. The investigators anticipate that BBB opening could help at increasing brain penetration of monoclonal antibodies and potentially boosting immunity in the brain. This could translate in controlling brain disease with the same magnitude as for extra-cranial disease. This would also open avenues for optimizing the treatment of brain metastases in combination with checkpoint inhibitors in many other cancers.

This study aims to determine the safety and utility of using 5-Aminolevulinic Acid (ALA) in removing malignant brain tumors during surgery.

Adjuvant whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT) after resection of single brain metastasis is considered as a standard associated with side effects leading to decreased neurocognitive function. The Investigators addressed the question whether stereotactic radiotherapy of the resection cavity impairs neurological status and/or cognitive functions in compare to adjuvant WBRT.
