Active clinical trials for "Glioblastoma"

Primary Objective to estimate 6-month progression free survival probability of patients with recurrent malignant glioma treated with Etoposide + Bevacizumab. Secondary Objectives To evaluate safety & tolerability of Etoposide + Bevacizumab among patients with recurrent malignant glioma (RMG). To evaluate radiographic response, progression free survival & overall survival of patients with recurrent malignant glioma treated with Etoposide + Bevacizumab.

Objectives: To determine maximum tolerated dose of farnesyl transferase inhibitor, SCH 66336, when administered w TEMODAR®. To characterize any toxicity associated w combo of farnesyl transferase inhibitor, SCH 66336, & TEMODAR®. To observe patients for clinical antitumor response when treated with combination of farnesyl transferase inhibitor, SCH 66336, & TEMODAR®. To assess pharmacokinetics of SCH 66336 for patients on & not on enzyme inducing antiepileptic drugs.

Primary objective To estimate 6-month progression free survival probability of pts w recurrent GBM treated w bev + either daily temozolomide/etoposide following progression on bev + irinotecan Secondary Objectives To evaluate safety & tolerability of bev + either daily temozolomide/etoposide among pts w recurrent GBM who have progressed on bev + irinotecan To evaluate radiographic response, progression free survival & overall survival of pts w recurrent GBM treated w bev + either daily temozolomide/etoposide following progression on bev + irinotecan

Primary Objective: To determine maximum tolerated dose & dose limiting toxicity of vandetanib when combined with standard dosing of etoposide among patients with recurrent malignant glioma who are on & not on enzyme-inducing anti-epileptic drugs (EIAEDs) Secondary Objectives: To assess safety & tolerability of vandetanib + etoposide in this population; To evaluate pharmacokinetics of vandetanib among malignant glioma patients on & not on EIAEDs when combined with etoposide. Exploratory Objective: To evaluate for evidence of anti-tumor activity of study regimen among recurrent malignant glioma patients including radiographic response rate, 6-month progression free survival (PFS) rate & median PFS.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate both enzastaurin and bevacizumab in the treatment of recurrent malignant gliomas.

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of gefitinib when given together with radiation therapy and to see how well it works in treating patients with glioblastoma multiforme. Gefitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high energy x rays to kill tumor cells. Giving gefitinib together with radiation therapy may be an effective treatment for glioblastoma multiforme.

This phase I trial is studying the side effects of fluorine F18 EF5 when given during positron emission tomography to find oxygen in tumor cells of patients who are undergoing surgery or biopsy for newly diagnosed brain tumors. Diagnostic procedures using fluorine F 18 EF5 and positron emission tomography to detect tumor hypoxia may help in planning cancer treatment

RATIONALE: AEE788 and everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving AEE788 together with everolimus may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of AEE788 when given together with everolimus and to see how well they work in treating patients with recurrent or relapsed glioblastoma multiforme.

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of lenalidomide in treating young patients with recurrent, progressive, or refractory CNS tumors. Lenalidomide may stop the growth of CNS tumors by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It may also stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to study Edotecarin in patients with the brain tumor glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) who have progression or first recurrence following initial treatment with surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.
