Active clinical trials for "Glioblastoma"

This is a safety (Phase 1) trial using mebendazole for recurrent pediatric brain cancers that include medulloblastoma and high grade glioma, that are no longing responding to standard therapies. The drug mebendazole is an oral drug in a chewable 500 mg orange flavored tablet. It is already approved to treat parasitic infections. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and side effects for increasing doses of mebendazole, followed by the treatment of an additional 12 patients at the best tolerated dose.

This phase I trial studies the safety and best dose of anti-LAG-3 (anti-LAG-3 monoclonal antibody BMS-986016) or urelumab alone and in combination with nivolumab in treating patients with glioblastoma that has returned (recurrent). Anti-LAG-3 monoclonal antibody BMS-986016, urelumab, and nivolumab are antibodies (a type of protein) that may stimulate the cells in the immune system to attack tumor cells. It is not yet known whether anti-LAG-3 monoclonal antibody BMS-986016 or urelumab alone or in combination with nivolumab may kill more tumor cells. (The Anti-CD137 antibody (BMS-663513 - urelumab) treatment arm closed by BMS on 10/16/18 due to closure of BMS Urelumab development program. Subjects currently on treatment may continue.)

The purpose of this study: Determining the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD), Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT), pharmacokinetics characteristic, and dosage regimen of phase II/III of Chlorogenic acid for injection in the advanced Glioblastoma Patients ;

This is a phase 1/2, uncontrolled, open-label, multicenter study in patients with recurrent and relapsed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, glioblastoma, or grade III or IV glioma.

This is a multicenter, open label, Phase 1 dose-escalation study of DSP-7888 Dosing Emulsion administered to adult patients with advanced malignancies. Patients will be administered escalating doses of DSP-7888 Dosing Emulsion intradermally or subcutaneously in accordance with the following regimen: once weekly for four weeks during the Induction Phase, once every 7 to 14 days for 6 weeks during the Consolidation Phase, and once every 14 to 28 days until a discontinuation criterion is met during the Maintenance Phase. Once RP2D is determined from either the intradermal or subcutaneous group, an additional 40 patients evaluable for response may be enrolled as an expansion cohort at this dose and route of administration to confirm safety and tolerability. Separate from the dose-ascending cohort and RP2D expansion cohort described previously, and once the intradermal dose-ascending cohort is completed, up to 20 MDS patients who are refractory to treatment with hypomethylating agents (HMAs) will be enrolled into an MDS expansion cohort. Of these 20 MDS patients, one-half will receive DSP-7888 at 10.5 mg according to the modified schedule employed in Phase 1 (every week for 4 weeks, every 2 weeks until Week 24, and then every 4 weeks; [MDS Cohort 1]). The other half of the MDS patients will receive DSP-7888 at 10.5 mg in an alternative dosing schedule where DSP-7888 is administered every 2 weeks until Week 24, after which it will be administered every 4 weeks (MDS Cohort 2).

Background: GBM refers to a specific kind of brain cancer called glioblastoma. The standard treatment for GBM is radiation plus temozolomide, an oral chemotherapy drug. Pembrolizumab is an immune therapy that is now used to treat other cancers. The addition of pembrolizumab to the standard treatment of radiation and temozolomide has been shown to be well tolerated. Researchers want to see if adding a vaccine made from the person s own tumor will improve the effect of the pembrolizumab. The vaccine which is developed from fresh tumor taken at the time of surgery is called HSPPC-96. Objectives: To see if the adding pembrolizumab and HSPPC-96 improves the standard treatment for glioblastoma multiforme. Eligibility: Adults at least 18 years old with glioblastoma. Design: Participants will be screened with typical cancer tests: Brain scan Medical history Blood and urine tests Questions about quality of life and symptoms These tests will be repeated throughout the study. Participants will have surgery to remove their tumor. A tissue sample from the tumor will be sent to a lab. A vaccine will be made from it. Some participants will get pembrolizumab and vaccine. Some will get pembrolizumab and placebo. Participants will not know which they get. Participants will get radiation for 6 weeks. Participants will take temozolomide by mouth before each treatment. Participants will get pembrolizumab by IV for 30 minutes 3 times over the radiation cycle. Participants will keep taking the 2 drugs every few weeks for about a year. Some may take pembrolizumab for an additional year. Most participants will get the vaccine or placebo after radiation. They will get it 5 times over 6 weeks. Some participants will continue to get the vaccine every few weeks for 1 or 2 years. Participants will repeat the screening tests when they stop study treatment. They will also have follow-up phone calls.

Background: Zotiraciclib (TG02) is an investigational drug that penetrates the blood-brain barrier and might treat brain tumors. Temozolomide (TMZ) is a drug used to treat brain tumors. Objective: To find out if Zotiraciclib (TG02) is safe, and to find out if it in combination with TMZ is as effective as TMZ alone in people with brain tumors. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with a brain tumor that has progressed after standard treatment Design: In phase I part, the Bayesian optimal interval (BOIN) design will be used to find the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Zotiraciclib (TG02) for Arm 1 (dose dense TMZ) and Arm 2 (metronomic TMZ) independently. Then a randomized cohort expansion compared progression free survival at 4 months (PFS4) of the two arms for an efficient determination of a TMZ schedule to combine with Zotiraciclib at MTD. In Phase II part, a Bayesian design based on posterior probability will be used to monitor efficacy. Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Blood and urine tests Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain if they have not had one in 14 days Heart test Tissue sample from prior surgeries Participants will take Zotiraciclib (TG02) plus TMZ by mouth in 28-day cycles. Some will take TMZ for 7 days on and 7 days off. Others will take it every day. They will all take Zotiraciclib (TG02) three days before Cycle 1, and then on four days during every cycle. They will all get treatment to prevent vomiting and diarrhea before and for 24 hours after each Zotiraciclib (TG02) dose. They will all keep a diary of when they take the drugs and their symptoms. Participants will have study visits. These include: Physical exam, heart test, quality of life questionnaire, brain MRI, and urine tests every 4 weeks Blood tests every 2 weeks Participants will continue treatment until their disease gets worse or they have intolerable side effects. Participants will also be enrolled in another protocol to test molecular markers for their brain tumor.

The optimal treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) in patients aged ≥70 years with a Karnofsky performance status (KPS) <70 is unestablished. This clinical trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of upfront temozolomide (TMZ) and bevacizumab (Bev) in patients aged ≥70 years and a KPS <70.

The purpose of this study is to test how safe and effective treatment with the combination of Avelumab and radiation is for IDH mutant gliomas that have transformed to glioblastoma after chemotherapy.

The objective of N²M² is the improvement of overall survival of patients with glioblastoma with an unmethylated MGMT promoter based on molecular characterization and use of targeted compounds in a modern trial design. The progression-free survival rate at six months (PFS-6) will be used to make decisions.
