Active clinical trials for "Nervous System Neoplasms"

This is a multi-site, global, open-label study that includes a phase 1b evaluation of elacestrant in combination with abemaciclib in women and men with with or without brain metastases from ER-positive, HER-2 negative breast cancer. Phase 1b is designed to select the recommended phase 2 dose and will be followed by a phase 2 evaluation of elacestrant in combination with abemaciclib in patients with active brain metastases from ER-positive, HER-2 negative breast cancer.

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Lutathera (177Lu-DOTATATE) in pediatric and young adult patients with progressive or recurrent High-Grade Central Nervous System (CNS) tumors and meningiomas (any grade) that express Somatostatin Type 2A Receptors by immunohistochemistry and demonstrate uptake on DOTATATE PET. The drug will be given intravenously once every 8 weeks for a total of up to 4 doses over 8 months in patients aged 4-12 years (Phase I) or older than 12 yrs (Phase II) to test its safety and efficacy, respectively.

This phase II Pediatric MATCH trial studies how well larotrectinib works in treating patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders with NTRK fusions that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) and have come back (relapased) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Larotrectinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

This study is a clinical trial to determine the safety of inoculating G207 (an experimental virus therapy) into a recurrent or refractory cerebellar brain tumor. The safety of combining G207 with a single low dose of radiation, designed to enhance virus replication, tumor cell killing, and an anti-tumor immune response, will also be tested.

The purpose of this study is to examine the use of a single dose of tozuleristide (24 or 36 mg) and the Canvas imaging system during surgical resection of primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors: Primary gadolinium enhancing (high grade) CNS tumors, primary non-gadolinium enhancing CNS tumors, and primary vestibular schwannoma. The primary objectives of the study is to see how well tozuleristide and the Canvas imaging system during surgical resection will show fluorescence among primary enhancing/high grade CNS tumors; and among the tumors that demonstrate tozuleristide fluorescence, to estimate the true positive rate and true negative rate of fluorescence in tissue biopsies, as well as sensitivity and specificity of tozuleristide fluorescence for distinguishing tumor from non-tumoral tissue. The secondary objectives of the study include evaluating the safety of tozuleristide and the Canvas imaging system, and to determine if the presence of remaining fluorescence at the time of surgery corresponds to remaining tumor evident on post-operative MRI images, or if the absence of fluorescence corresponds to evidence of no gross residual tumor on post-operative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

This phase II trial studies the effect of avapritinib in treating malignant solid tumors that have a genetic change (mutation) in CKIT or PDGFRA and have spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or other places in the body (metastatic). Avapritinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Avapritinib may help to control the growth of malignant solid tumors.

Open label, multi-centre prospective study. Adult patients with primary central nervous system tumours fulfilling the inclusion criteria according to the study protocol. The study consists of 2 sequential cohorts evaluated consecutively for the feasibility, safety and toxicity, as well as long-term survival data, when using spot scanning proton beam therapy.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of volitinib in treating patients with primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors that have come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Volitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

The primary objective of this phase 1 trial is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), food effect, safety and tolerability of oral ONC206 in patients with recurrent, primary CNS neoplasms.

This phase I/II trial evaluates the best dose, side effects and possible benefit of CBL0137 in treating patients with solid tumors, including central nervous system (CNS) tumors or lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Drugs, such as CBL0137, block signals passed from one molecule to another inside a cell. Blocking these signals can affect many functions of the cell, including cell division and cell death, and may kill cancer cells.
