Active clinical trials for "Meningeal Neoplasms"

To determine the safety of intrathecal (IT) PD1 antibody for Intrathecal application of PD1 antibody in metastatic solid tumors with leptomeningeal disease of solid tumors.

The purpose of this study is to learn about the effects of the study treatment, Dendritic Cell Vaccine (DCV), to find the highest dose of the study treatment that can be given safely to Breast Cancer patients with Leptomeningeal Disease

The purpose of this study is to find out if radiation therapy followed by intrathecal trastuzumab and pertuzumab is safe and will result in improved survival in HER2 positive breast cancer which has metastasized to the leptomeninges.

This study is to find a safe dose of the combination of Avelumab and Whole Brain Radiotherapy (WBRT) in patients with Leptomeningeal Disease.

This phase I/Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of intrathecal nivolumab, and how well it works in combination with intravenous nivolumab in treating patients with leptomeningeal disease. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

This phase I/Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of CB-839 HCl when given together with sapanisertib in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). CB-839 HCl and sapanisertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

This study evaluates patient perceptions around quality of care through telemedicine in neuro-oncology. Studying questionnaires related to perceptions quality of care through telemedicine in patients with brain cancer may help doctors to improve the delivery of care through this modality.

Brain metastases occurs in up to 50% of patients with EGFR mutant NSCLC. Leptomeningeal disease is a subset of patients with brain metastases for which there remains an unmet need. This trial aims to evaluate the role of two dosing schedules of afatinib in management of leptomeningeal disease in EGFR mutant NSCLC, specifically to determine Central Nervous System (CNS) penetration of afatinib, as well as clinical activity. Patients will start on daily dosing initially followed by pulsed intermittent dosing should we observe no clinical activity. A secondary objective is to identify the resistance spectrum in leptomeningeal disease. It is anticipated that optimal dosing schedule of afatinib e.g. pulsed dosing may improve CNS disease control.

This is an open-label phase II study of pembrolizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (LMD). Approximately 18 subjects in this study will receive pembrolizumab at a dose of 200mg intravenously (IV) every 3 weeks (Q3W) for 4 doses.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of ifosfamide in treating patients with meningeal tumors that have recurred or that cannot be removed surgically.
