Active clinical trials for "Glioblastoma"

Patients may participate in this research study if they have glioblastoma. (a brain tumor) that has come back after being treated. Standard treatment for this cancer is a chemotherapy drug called bevacizumab. This research study involves bevacizumab in combination with a special diet called the Modified Atkins Diet (MAD). The purpose of this study is to research if patients can stay on the MAD when it is added to the standard bevacizumab treatment.

Patients will be randomized to one of two treatment arms - Group I and Group II. Group I will receive nivolumab monotherapy until surgical resection, and Group II will receive nivolumab alone and with DC vaccine therapy until surgical resection. During surgical resection blood and tumor samples will be assessed and compared. Following surgery, both groups will continue to receive DC vaccines (total of 8) and nivolumab therapy until confirmed progression.

This feasibility study will assess the effects of the Nativis Voyager therapy in patients with recurrent GBM who have either failed standard of care or are intolerant to therapy. The study will enroll and treat up to eleven subjects over six months. Safety and clinical utility will be evaluated.

This pilot early phase I trial studies the side effects of vaccine therapy in treating patients with glioblastoma that has come back. Vaccines made from a person's white blood cells mixed with tumor proteins from another person's glioblastoma tumors may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Giving vaccine therapy may work better in treating patients with glioblastoma.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate patients with glioblastoma that is MGMT-unmethylated (the MGMT gene is not altered by a chemical change). Patients will receive Nivolumab every two weeks in addition to radiation therapy, and then every four weeks. They will be compared to patients receiving standard therapy with temozolomide in addition to radiation therapy.

This study seeks to evaluate the tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), efficacy, and safety of ABT-414 in Japanese participants with newly diagnosed and recurrent, World Health Organization (WHO) grade III or IV malignant glioma.

This is a proof of concept, single-arm study to investigate crenolanib monotherapy in patients with recurrent/refractory glioblastoma with PDGFRA gene amplification by assessing the progression-free survival (PFS) at 6 months. Crenolanib will be given orally starting at 100 mg TID continuously until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or consent withdrawal.

Disulfiram (Antabuse®) is a well-tolerated, cheap, generic drug that has been in use since the 1950s to treat alcoholism. There is now an increasing amount of independent preclinical data to support disulfiram as an anticancer agent. The potency of disulfiram as an anticancer agent seems strengthened by copper. The investigators aim is to investigate disulfiram and copper-supplement as add-on treatment in glioblastoma patients with recurrence receiving alkylating chemotherapy.

Mono-center, un-controlled, open label, first in human, clinical trial. Approximately 20 patients (in order to achieve 12 valuable patients). The expected accrual time would range between 12 and 18 months. Follow-up, including clinical, immune and radiological monitoring will end two years after the initial surgery of the last patient enrolled. The primary objective will be to assess the activity of immunotherapy in terms of its effect on immune response. In particular we will investigate the effect of treatment on effector cells including CD8 T cells, NK cells and Natural Killer T (NKT) cells. The sample size of 12 eligible patients was identified on ethical and practical considerations, rather than by a formal sample size calculation.

This phase II trial studies how well HIF-2 alpha inhibitor PT2385 works in treating patients with recurrent glioblastoma. HIF-2 alpha inhibitor PT2385 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
