Active clinical trials for "Glioma"

This is a single-arm, single-center, drug safety assessment clinical trial with a 3+3 dose escalation design, to observe the safety, tolerability and toxicity of a novel oncolytic virus Ad-TD-nsIL12 intratumoral injection in progressive DIPG patients (NCI-CTCAE V5.0).

This is a single-center, open-label, dose-escalating Phase 0 trial that will enroll participants with a confirmed diagnosed recurrent high-grade glioma (grade 3 or 4 per WHO criteria) targeting the mTOR pathway. Eligible participants will be administered a single infusion of temsirolimus through super-selective intra-arterial infusion or intravenous infusion. Participants will receive the study drug administration on the same day as the planned surgical resection of the tumor.

The goal of this randomized clinical controlled trial is to learn about whether neuro-navigation repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (nrTMS) was useful to accelerate the recovery in patients with SMA syndrome after glioma resection. The main questions aim to answer: Question 1: Whether the nrTMS was useful to accelerate the recovery of motor function back to the preoperative status in participants with SMA syndrome after glioma resection. Question 2: Whether the nrTMS was useful to improve postoperative motor function in participants with SMA syndrome after glioma resection. Participants will continue to receive nrTMS treatment or nrTMS sham-treatment for 7 times on the 8th day after glioma resection to determine whether the TMS was helpful for exercise rehabilitation. The investigator will evaluate the effects of nrTMS treatment through the ratio of recovery of motor function and the time that was from the participants suffering SMA syndrome to totally recover the motor function to the status of motor function in pre-operation.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, international, Phase 3 study in patients with newly diagnosed H3 K27M-mutant diffuse glioma to assess whether treatment with ONC201 following frontline radiotherapy will extend overall survival and progression-free survival in this population. Eligible participants will have histologically diagnosed H3 K27M-mutant diffuse glioma and have completed standard frontline radiotherapy.

The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility of undertaking a Phase 0 surgical study in patients with diagnosis of a IDH1 mutated Low Grade Glioma (LGG) who have not received prior radiation or chemotherapy and are planned to undergo surgical resection.

The purpose of this research study is to determine if fluoxetine increases lysosomal stress in patients with recurrent IDHwt glioma by evaluating LAMP1 expression in tumor samples obtained pre-resection via biopsy and during surgery. Lysosomes are organelles (structures in cells) that contain digestive enzymes (substances that break down chemicals) that help keep the cells free of extra or worn out cell parts. Fluoxetine, a drug approved by the FDA to treat problems like depression and anxiety, can cause changes to structures in cells called lysosomes that then improve how well the chemotherapy drug temozolomide (TMZ) kills cancer cells in the brain.

The BIOMEDE 2.0 study is the second stage of the BIOMEDE multi-arm, multistage rolling programme (adaptive platform protocol). It is a multicenter, randomized open-label phase-3 controlled trial evaluating efficacy of ONC201 in comparison with everolimus (primary objective based on internal comparison) and subsequently to historical controls. Two treatment groups will be compared. A switch between treatment groups is allowed after confirmation of the disease progression (real-time central review blinded to the treatment arm allocation). Study treatment will be continued until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or consent withdrawal. The final conclusion of the trial will be successful for ONC201, if ONC201 is found significantly superior to everolimus in terms of centrally-reviewed PFS (Progression-free survival) from randomization (internal comparison) either overall, considering ND-DMG and DIPG-patients together, or in the subgroup of ND-DMG patients alone. In other cases, Everolimus will remain the standard arm unless it appears associated with an excess of toxicity compared to ONC201 which could then be discussed as a new standard.

This is an interventional, non-randomized, single site study. Brain tumor samples will be collected from patients for organoids generation and subject to panel drugs screening and QPOP analysis to derive the optimal drug combinations for treatment at the time of first high grade astrocytic glioma recurrence. The investigators hypothesize that patient-derived organoids (PDOs) mimic the biological characteristics of high grade astrocytic gliomas and serve as an ideal platform for the evaluation of drug sensitivities, accurately reflecting the patient's therapeutic response to the drugs.

This study will test the safety and effectiveness of a combination of pembrolizumab, olaparib, and temozolomide to see how well these drugs work when given together in people with a glioma that either did not respond to previous treatment or came back after treatment.
