Active clinical trials for "Brain Neoplasms"

This is a phase 2, Simon's 2-stage designed study with 2 cohorts of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 experienced patients with untreated brain metastases: 1) melanoma and 2) renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Children and adults with recurrent or progressive malignant brain tumors have a dismal prognosis, and outcomes remain very poor. Magrolimab is a first-in-class anticancer therapeutic agent targeting the Cluster of differentiation 47 (CD47)-signal receptor protein-alpha (SIRP-alpha) axis. Binding of magrolimab to human CD47 on target malignant cells blocks the "don't eat me" signal to macrophages and enhances tumor cell phagocytosis. Pre-clinical studies have shown that treatment with magrolimab leads to prolonged survival in models of Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumors (ATRT), diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), high-grade glioma (adult and pediatric), medulloblastoma, and embryonal tumors formerly called Primitive Neuro-Ectodermal Tumors (PNET). Safety studies in humans have proven that magrolimab has an excellent safety profile. Ongoing studies are currently testing magrolimab in adult myelodysplastic syndromes, acute myeloid leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, colorectal, ovarian, and bladder cancers. Herein we propose to test the safety of magrolimab in children and adults with recurrent or progressive malignant brain tumors.

This study is a prospective, single-arm, phase II clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Tislelizumab Plus Chemotherapy in patients with squamous NSCLC with brain metastases who had not previously received systemic therapy.

This phase I trial finds out the side effects and possible benefits of stereotactic radiosurgery and immune checkpoint inhibitors with NovoTTF-100M for the treating of melanoma that has spread to the brain (brain metastases). Stereotactic radiosurgery is a type of external radiation therapy that uses special equipment to position the patient and precisely give a single large dose of radiation to a tumor. It is used to treat brain tumors and other brain disorders that cannot be treated by regular surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. NovoTTF-100M is a portable battery operated device which produces tumor treating fields in the body by means of surface electrodes placed on the skin. Tumor treating fields are low intensity, intermediate frequency electric fields that pulse through the skin to disrupt cancer cells' ability to divide. Giving stereotactic radiosurgery and immune checkpoint inhibitors with NovoTTF-100M may work better than stereotactic radiosurgery and immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs) especially higher generation TKI have higher CNS penetration rates and have shown favorable response rates in brain metastases. Brain radiotherapy/surgery is the standard treatment in brain metastases especially symptomatic metastases, however, the role of local treatment especially in driver mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer with asymptomatic brain metastases is being questioned given their potential side effects. No randomized trial has shown the superiority of early vs delayed cranial RT in asymptomatic BM of driver mutated NSCLC.

There is no positive data on osimertinib in the treatment of metastatic EGFR mutation positive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The purpose of this study is to study osimertinib combined with bevacizumab in the management of patients with brain metastasis harboring EGFR mutation.

This trial aims to assess the impact of SRS on overall survival, PFS, radiation toxicity and quality of life as compared to WBRT in oligometastatic brain disease in breast cancer patients. Total 98 patients with breast cancer with brain oligo-metastases will be included. The WBRT dosage schedule will be 30 Gy in 10 fractions over 2 weeks. For tumors with 2cm, SRS dose of 22 to 25 Gy will be delivered and tumor larger than 2 cm will be treated with doses of 18 to 20 Gy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Keynatinib capsules in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with brain metastasis or progression of brain metastasis after treatment with EGFR inhibitors. As well as, to evaluate the penetration rate of Keynatinib in the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) and its PK characteristics, and the relationship between exposure levels with efficacy and safety.

This study is being conducted to find out if the safety and tolerability of an experimental cell therapy is safe to administer to patients with a newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) in combination with temozolomide (TMZ).

Phase III trial comparing local control and side effects after fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy and single session radiosurgery in patients with larger brain metastases (2-4 cm)
