BACKGROUND: - Primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. - The outcome for patients with this diagnosis is significantly worse than for that of systemic DLBCL. Most treatment approaches in the past have included high dose methotrexate and radiation treatment. - Most PCNSLs appear to be of activated B-cell (ABC) origin. - Ibrutinib is an inhibitor of Bruton s tyrosine kinase (BTK) and effective for systemic DLBCL of ABC origin. - We propose doing a study in which ibrutinib is combined with a novel chemotherapy platform called dose adjusted temozolomide, etoposide, doxil, dexamethasone, ...
This is a phase 1 study of an anti-CD40 monoclonal antibody (2141-V11) in combination with D2C7-IT for patients with recurrent World Health Organization (WHO) grade III or IV malignant glioma at the Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center (PRTBTC) at Duke.
Brain tumor treatment is hampered by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). This barrier prevents drugs carried in the bloodstream from getting into the brain. If the BBB can be opened, making it temporarily more permeable, drugs may able to better reach the brain tumor. In this trial we will implant a novel device with 9 ultrasound emitters, allowing temporary and reversible opening of the BBB to maximize brain penetration of drugs that modulate the immune system. The device will be implanted after radiation is completed. Immune modulating drugs will be given every 3 weeks in conjunction with activation of the device to open the BBB. The objectives of this trial are to establish...
This Phase 2 clinical trial will study RVP-001, a new manganese-based MRI contrast agent, in people who are known to have gadolinium-enhancing central nervous system (CNS) lesions, for example stable brain tumors or multiple sclerosis. The goal of this study is to assess safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of RVP-001 at three dose levels. The study will also compare RVP-001 imaging to gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) imaging. A single dose of RVP-001 will be administered to each subject. Subjects will have known gadolinium-enhancing CNS lesions and will be due to have a routine gadolinium-based contrast agent-enhanced MRI of the brain a few days before receiving RVP-001...
This is an open-label, single dose, single arm, multicenter Phase 2b study to establish the imaging performance of RAD101 PET in participants who are ≥ 18 years of age and with suspected recurrent brain metastases from solid tumors. The study consists of a 4-week Screening Period, a 3-day Imaging and Safety Follow-Up Period, and a Data Collection Period of up to 6 months. Participant eligibility will be determined during the Screening Period and eligible participants will be enrolled in the study. On Day 1, the enrolled participants will receive a single dose of the investigational medicinal product (IMP), RAD101. Participants will then proceed with a whole brain PET scan. A...
The objective of this study is to determine the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of vorasidenib in Asian participants with residual or recurrent Grade 2 glioma with an IDH1 or IDH2 mutation. The study will begin with a safety lead-in (SLI) phase and then will transition to a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled phase. During the study participants will have study visits on day 1 and 15 of the first two cycles, and then only on day 1 of treatment cycles in the frequency included in the study schedule of assessments. All participants will have an end of treatment visit within 7 days after their last dose of study treatment. Approximately 28 (+5) days after treatment has...
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, PK characteristics in subjects with relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphoma. Furthermore, the relationship between the exposure level of Keynatinib and its efficacy and safety, the penetration rate of keynatinib in the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) and its PK characteristics in cerebrospinal fluid in R/R-PCNSL patients, the relationship between the BTK receptor occupancy rate and the efficacy are also evaluated.
This is a multi-institutional, single arm, open label, Phase Ib/II study of abemaciclib in combination with elacestrant in patients with HR+/Her2- breast cancer metastatic to the brain. Patients may have received up to two prior lines of systemic chemotherapy for locally advanced or metastatic disease. There will be no limit on prior use of endocrine therapy including aromatase inhibitors, tamoxifen and fulvestrant, given a documented clinical benefit of elacestrant in this setting.
Discover, optimize, standardize, and validate clinical-trial measures and biomarkers used to diagnose and differentiate cardiovascular, oncologic, neurologic, and other diseases and disorders. Specifically, our research study endeavors to improve disease and disorder diagnosis to the earliest clinical states, in preclinical states, and to develop ensemble multivariate biomarker risk scores leading to cardiovascular, oncologic, neurologic, and other diseases and disorders. Additionally, the study aims to: - Evaluate data analysis techniques to improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce time to diagnosis. - Evaluate data analysis techniques to improve risk...
This phase II trial studies aim to evaluate the initial efficacy of leflunomide tablets in second-line treatment of advanced MEN-1 neuroendocrine tumors, and to provide evidence for phase III clinical trials.
