Active clinical trials for "Glioblastoma"

The purpose of this prospective, interventional, single-arm pilot study is to evaluate whether virtually delivered group-based physical activity is feasible for adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors. AYAs who were diagnosed with cancer and have completed cancer treatment will be recruited for this study. This study will enroll 20 participants in total and will last approximately 3 months.

This study would test how much of the new drug, AZD1775, is present in tumor, blood, and skin after one dose of the drug. The purpose of the study is not to treat the tumor, but to see if the drug actually gets into the tumor cells. This study does not replace routine cancer treatment.

The goal of this study is to increase and improve Goals of Care discussions for advanced cancer patients by training medical oncologists to conduct these discussions. The investigators will evaluate the GoC discussion's effects on patient satisfaction, receipt of treatment in line with preferences, use of aggressive treatment, and oncologist communication skill.

This randomized clinical trial studies a cognitive-behavioral intervention to treat worry, uncertainty, and insomnia in cancer survivors. Counseling may reduce anxiety and insomnia as well as improve the well-being and quality of life of cancer survivors. This study also explores the neuro-immunologic correlates of anxiety and insomnia.

This phase 0 trial studies ixazomib citrate in treating patients with glioblastoma that has spread or returned after period of improvement who are planning to undergo surgery. When given by mouth, ixazomib may be able to reach tumor cells in the brain. Studying samples of tissue, blood, and plasma in the laboratory from patients receiving ixazomib may help doctors learn more about the effects of ixazomib on the cells. It may also help doctors understand how well patients will respond to treatment.

This study is to evaluate the safety and find the tolerated ultrasound dose of transient opening of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) by using the NaviFUS System in recurrent GBM patients.

This clinical trial measures the amount and effect of lidocaine injected into patients with glioblastoma while they are undergoing surgical removal of their brain tumors. Lidocaine is a substance used to relieve pain by blocking signals at the nerve endings in skin. Information gained from this study may help researchers come up with new treatments to help patients with glioblastomas in the future.

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a specialized interface allowing a unique environment for neuro-glia networks. BBB dysfunction is common in brain disorders. The Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive method of stimulating cortical motor neurons with the use of rapidly changing electromagnetic fields generated by a coil placed over the scalp. The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effects of the deep TMS (dTMS) on barrier integrity in patients with malignant glial tumors. BBB permeability will be quantified using dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI). Permeability change will be compared between two DCE-MRI scans performed immediately after "real" and "sham" rTMS, randomly assigned within one week of each other.

This investigation is not only to develop an improved radiation/temozolomide approach, but also develop a regimen with potential to form the basis of better combined therapy with immune based treatments.

The primary goal of this study is to assess the feasibility and biologic activity of a modified Atkins-based diet combined with short-term intermittent fasting, a GLioma Atkins-based Diet (GLAD), in patients with central nervous system GBM.
