Active clinical trials for "Glioma"

The study aims at investigating the cilium-related transcriptome in patients-derived glioblastoma stem cells and the potential impact of modulation of cilium players in vitro, in vivo and ex vivo in glioblastoma brain organoids. Moreover, drugs inhibiting cilia disassembly will be tested. Finally, the potential prognostic role of a cilium-related gene expression signature in glioblastoma will be assessed.

This study (1438-0003) is open to adults with a tumour in the brain that is positive for the tumour marker delta-like 3 (DLL3). This study is in people with advanced cancer for whom previous treatment was not successful. The purpose of this study is to find out the highest dose of BI 764532 that people with a brain tumour that is positive for DLL3 can tolerate. BI 764532 is an antibody-like molecule that can attach and link together the cancer cells and T-cells of the immune system (DLL3/CD3 bispecific). This may help the immune system fight cancer. Participants get BI 764532 infusions into a vein when starting treatment. If there is benefit for the participants and if they can tolerate it, the treatment is continued. During this time, participants visit the study site at regular intervals. The total number of visits depends on how they respond to and tolerate the treatment. The first study visits include staying to monitor participants' safety. Doctors record any unwanted effects and regularly check the general health of the participants.

This phase I trial tests peptide-pulsed dendritic cell vaccination in combination with immunotherapy nivolumab and ipilimumab for the treatment diffuse hemispheric glioma with a H3 G34 mutation that has come back (recurrent) and/or is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive). Vaccines made from the patient's own white blood cells and peptide-pulsed dendritic cells may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, also may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Together, the vaccine and immunotherapy drugs given before and after surgical resection (the removal of tumor cells through surgery) may improve stimulation of anti-tumor immunity to help fight the cancer.

The purpose of this study is to better define longitudinal genomic alterations in patients with glioblastoma (GBM), and to determine if plasma circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) or cell free DNA (cfDNA) is associated with disease recurrence, survival, tumor characteristics, and/or peripheral immunosuppression.

This phase II trial studies how well fluorine F 18 fluorodopa (18F-DOPA)-positron emission tomography (PET) works in finding tumors in patients with newly diagnosed gliomas undergoing radiation therapy. Comparing results of diagnostic procedures done before and during radiation therapy may help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment.

The purpose of this study is to prospectively collect specimens from pediatric patients with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma or brainstem glioma, either during therapy or at autopsy, in order to characterize the molecular abnormalities of this tumor.

Improved outcomes for high-grade gliomas (HGG) require advances in our ability to monitor changes to tumour biology using non-surgical approaches. "Liquid biopsy" is a term used to describe a technique whereby tumour DNA, which has been shed off and then circulates through the blood stream, is detected and analyzed. Our goal is to develop a new type of liquid biopsy that is suitable for primary brain tumours that uses a method that is highly sensitive and allows for ongoing analysis of these tumours.

This phase II trial tests how well erdafitinib works in controlling IDH-wild type (WT) glioma with FGFR-TACC gene fusion that has come back (recurrent) or that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive). Erdafitinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal FGFR protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This may help keep cancer cells from growing and may kill them. Giving erdafitinib may help to slow the growth of or to shrink tumor cells in patients with recurrent or progressive IDH-wild type glioma with FGFR-TACC gene fusion.

This is a treatment clinical trial to assess the efficacy of ERC1671 in combination with bevacizumab and pembrolizumab in patients with GBM that has progressed following treatment with radiation and temozolomide. Patients will have surgery to collect the maximum amount of GBM tissue that can be reasonably collected. This tissue will be used to manufacturer ERC1671 for the patient. The patients will receive ERC1671 in combination with GM-CSF and cyclophosphamide, in combination with bevacizumab and pembrolizumab.

This Clinical study is framed in the ALBATROSS Project: Clinically validated decision support system based on pixel level Artificial Intelligent models for deciding treatment in glioblastoma. The prospective multicenter international dataset compiled during the ALBATROSS project will include a cohort up to 300 new patients diagnosed with GB after June 1, 2020. Longitudinal images (T1, T2, T1c, FLAIR, PWI-DSC and DWI at least), complete molecular profiling, primary and secondary lines of treatment and clinical conditions will be included for each patient.
