Active clinical trials for "Glioma"

This is a single-arm, open-label, multicenter study in approximately 52 adults with primary (de novo) GB that has recurred or progressed (first or second recurrence, including this recurrence) after treatment(s) including surgery and radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy and following discontinuation of any previous standard or investigational lines of therapy.

This is a phase II study of the drug, pegylated interferon alfa-2b (PEG-Intron), used to treat brain tumors in a pediatric population. Researchers want to see if treatment with PEG-Intron will stop tumor growth for patients with juvenile pilocytic astrocytomas or optic pathway gliomas. The purposes of this study are: To learn more about the response to pegylated interferon To learn more about the side effects of pegylated interferon To learn more about MRI images in patients with Juvenile Pilocytic Astrocytomas or Optic Pathway Gliomas. To learn more about quality of life in patients treated with pegylated interferon

Hyperfractionated radiation therapy (RT) to 72.0 Gy with BCNU will be compared to conventional radiation therapy to 60.0 Gy with BCNU to determine if hyperfractionated RT can improve the median survival time of adults with supratentorial malignant gliomas.

This is a Phase 1 dose-escalation study of PRT811, a protein arginine N-methyltransferase (PRMT) 5 inhibitor, in subjects with advanced cancers and high-grade gliomas who have exhausted available treatment options. The purpose of this study is to define a safe dose and schedule to be used in subsequent development of PRT811.

Phase 2, open-label study of nab-sirolimus in patients with recurrent high grade glioma following prior therapy and subjects with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. nab-sirolimus will be tested as single agent or in combination with standard therapies.

This is a Phase 2 study to see if an investigational drug, ANG1005, can shrink tumor cells in patients with high-grade glioma. Another purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of ANG1005 in patients.

Optico-chiasmatic gliomas have therapeutic feature since surgical resection plays a secondary role. Unlike other sites, many of these tumors are not amenable to complete resection either because of anatomical location, and sometimes they only can be biopsied. A substantial number of children will have recurrences following resection or will experience progression following incomplete tumor removal or biopsy. Celebrex is a Cox-2 inhibitor with anti-angiogenic and anti-tumor properties, while statins are known to increase the sensitivity of gliomas to anti-tumor agents. Their association could be administered for long periods, in the hope of much reduced risk of toxicities. This is a national, multicentric, interventional, open-label, non-comparative, and non-randomized phase I study evaluating the maximum tolerated dose of the Fluvastatin in combination with fixed-dose of Celebrex. This project involves 10 SFCE health centers accustomed to phase I / II studies(Société Française de Lutte contre les Cancers et Leucémies de l'Enfant et de l'Adolescent - French Society for the Fight against Cancer and Leukemia in Children and Adolescents).

This is a Phase I/II non-randomized prospective study of high-dose L-methylfolate in combination with bevacizumab and temozolomide in patients with recurrent high-grade glioma. The primary objective of this phase II trial is to determine whether the addition of high-dose L-methylfolate to bevacizumab and temozolomide therapy improves progression-free survival (PFS) compared to previously reported results.

This partially randomized phase I/II trial studies the side effects and the best dose of anti-endoglin monoclonal antibody TRC105 when given together with bevacizumab and to see how well they work in treating patients with glioblastoma multiforme that has come back. Monoclonal antibodies, such as anti-endoglin monoclonal antibody TRC105 and bevacizumab, may find tumor cells and help kill them. Giving anti-endoglin monoclonal antibody TRC105 together with bevacizumab may be an effective treatment for glioblastoma multiforme.

The primary objective of step 1 is the rate of adverse events of minocycline and bevacizumab during reirradiation and of step 2 is the response rate to bevacizumab, reirradiation, and minocycline. The secondary objectives are the response rate, Progression Free Survival (PFS)-3, PFS-6, and effects on quality of life and cognition from repeat radiation and bevacizumab.
