Using MRI-Guided Laser Heat Ablation to Induce Disruption of the Peritumoral Blood Brain Barrier...

GliomaPilocytic Astrocytoma7 more

By employing a combination of advanced MRI techniques and correlative serum biomarkers of blood brain barrier (BBB) disruption, the investigators plan to develop a powerful, first of its kind clinical algorithm in pediatrics whereby the investigators can measure and identify the window of maximal BBB disruption post MLA to 1) allow for an alternative to surgery in incompletely resected tumors, 2) allow for optimal chemotherapeutic dosing to achieve the greatest benefits and the least systemic side effects and 3) distinguish subsequent tumor progression from long-term MLA treatment effects. Preliminary data in adult imaging studies have shown that the BBB disruption lasts for several weeks following treatment before returning to a low baseline. This pilot therapeutic study will provide preliminary validation in pediatric patients.

Study of Acetazolamide With Temozolomide in Adults With Newly Diagnosed or Recurrent Malignant Glioma...

Malignant Glioma of Brain

This is a Phase I study that examines the rate of dose limiting side effects in patients with malignant astrocytoma treated with combination acetazolamide (ACZ) and temozolomide (TMZ). Eligible patients must have histologically proven newly diagnosed, O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) methylated WHO grade III or IV astrocytoma and be planning to undergo treatment with standard adjuvant TMZ (after completing treatment with TMZ and ionizing radiation (IR)). During this study, patients will receive daily oral ACZ with TMZ. During each cycle, ACZ will be started on the day of TMZ initiation and continued for a total of 21 days.

Expedited Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy + Chemoradiation For Newly Diagnosed High Grade Gliomas...

High Grade Glioma

The investigators of this study want to see if shortening the total treatment time for brain tumors is safe.The treatment for participant's brain tumors is laser surgery (Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT)) followed by radiation with chemotherapy. For participants, the total time of treatment from surgery to the end of radiation and chemotherapy is about l 0 weeks long. This study asks whether it is safe to shorten the total treatment to 7 weeks. To shorten the total treatment time, investigators want to see if it is safe to start radiation with chemotherapy within 5 days after surgery. Usually patients start their radiation with chemotherapy about 21-28 days after the surgery. Shortening the total time of treatment may allow investigators to kill the cancer cells more effectively.

Intensity-Modulated Stereotactic Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Grade II-IV Glioma...

GlioblastomaWHO Grade II Glioma1 more

This phase II trial studies how well intensity-modulated stereotactic radiation therapy works in treating patients with grade II-IV glioma. Stereotactic radiosurgery is a specialized radiation therapy that delivers a single, high dose of radiation directly to the tumor and may cause less damage to normal tissue.

Intermittent Dosing Of Selumetinib In Childhood NF1 Associated Tumours

Neurofibromatosis Type 1Plexiform Neurofibroma1 more

Phase I and II study of the MEK inhibitor Selumetinib given twice daily on 5 out of 7 days in children with NF1 and inoperable plexiform neurofibromas or progressive/relapsed optic pathway gliomas. This study will test the early and late toxicities of selumetinib when it is given in this intermittent schedule (in 5 out of 7 days) and will also test the effectiveness of the drug in reducing the size of plexiform neurofibromas and optic pathway gliomas in children with NF1. It will also test the effectiveness of the drug in improving the participants function in day to day life.

Volitinib in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Primary CNS Tumors

Recurrent Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine GliomaRecurrent Malignant Glioma6 more

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of volitinib in treating patients with primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors that have come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Volitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Surgical Tissue Flap to Bypass the Blood Brain Barrier in Glioblastoma

GliomaMalignant7 more

This single center, single arm, open-label, phase 2 study will assess the safety and efficacy of a pedicled temporoparietal fascial (TPF) or pericranial flap into the resection cavity of newly diagnosed glioblastoma multifome (GBM) patients. The objective of the Phase 2 study is to demonstrate that this surgical technique is safe and effective in a human cohort of patients with resected newly diagnosed AA or GBM and may improve progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

A Study of the Drugs Selumetinib Versus Carboplatin/Vincristine in Patients With Neurofibromatosis...

Low Grade GliomaNeurofibromatosis Type 11 more

This phase III trial studies if selumetinib works just as well as the standard treatment with carboplatin/vincristine (CV) for subjects with NF1-associated low grade glioma (LGG), and to see if selumetinib is better than CV in improving vision in subjects with LGG of the optic pathway (vision nerves). Selumetinib is a drug that works by blocking some enzymes that low-grade glioma tumor cells need for their growth. This results in killing tumor cells. Drugs used as chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and vincristine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether selumetinib works better in treating patients with NF1-associated low-grade glioma compared to standard therapy with carboplatin and vincristine.

Effect H2 Water on QoL of Patients Receiving Radiotherapy for High Grade Gliomas.

Malignant Glioma

This is a pilot randomized control trial (RCT) to explore the effects of hydrogen rich water on quality of life in patients with high grade gliomas, receiving focal radiation therapy to the brain concurrent with chemotherapy with Temozolomide.

ETAPA I: Peptide-based Tumor Associated Antigen Vaccine in GBM

GliomaMalignant

This is a phase 1b study of P30-linked EphA2, CMV pp65, and survivin vaccination (collectively called the P30-EPS vaccine) in HLA-A*0201 positive patients with a newly diagnosed, unmethylated, and untreated World Health Organization (WHO) grade IV malignant glioma.
