- After standard treatment of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), high-dose methotrexate induction therapy, and consolidation therapy, most patients reach complete remission, but within the first 6 months, 35-60% of patients refractory to treatment or experience relapse during the first treatment. - The progression-free survival (PFS) period of relapsed patients is 2.2 months (0-29.6 months), and the survival period is reported as 3.5 months (0-29.6 months). After relapse, the majority of patients die within 2-4 months due to neurologic deterioration - Consolidation therapy after induction therapy includes whole-brain...
The purpose of this study is to determine the ability of letrozole to penetrate the blood brain barrier and concentrate in gliomas.
The objective of this study is to assess the tolerability, safety, and efficacy of Liposomal Curcumin (LC) in combination with radiotherapy (RT) and Temozolomide (TMZ) in patients with newly diagnosed High-Grade Gliomas (HGG).
Glioblastomas are the most frequent and aggressive malignant tumors of the CNS in adults, with almost systematic relapse despite treatment with surgery followed by radio-chemotherapy (STUPP protocol). The aim of this study is to better characterize transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolic changes in relapsed glioblastoma compared to the initial tumor, in order to identify new prognostic markers and potential new therapeutic targets.
This is a single institution Phase I-II study to evaluate the tolerability and Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) (Phase I) and efficacy (Phase II) of adding Niacin CRT™ to standard first line treatment (concurrent Radiation Therapy (RT) and Temozolomide (TMZ) following by monthly TMZ - AKA Stupp protocol) in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) wild type.
This clinical trial is studying two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab and ipilimumab) given together as a possible treatment for INI1-negative tumors.
This is a phase 2 study of the combination of drugs olaparib and durvalumab for the treatment of isocitrate dehydrogenase or (IDH) mutated solid tumors. The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of the drug combination via overall response rate and overall disease control rate. It is believed that giving olaparib and durvalumab together would be more useful when given to patients with IDH-mutated solid tumors than giving each drug alone.
The goal of this study is to determine the efficacy of the study drug olutasidenib to treat newly diagnosed pediatric and young adult patients with a high-grade glioma (HGG) harboring an IDH1 mutation. The main question the study aims to answer is whether the combination of olutasidenib and temozolomide (TMZ) can prolong the life of patients diagnosed with an IDH-mutant HGG.
This Phase I (Cohort I and Cohort II) and Phase II trial is designed to confirm the safety and tolerability of Pembrolizumab when given in conjunction with M032, an Oncolytic Herpes Simplex Virus (oHSV) that expresses IL-12 and perform the Phase II portion using a Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of M032 (provided by the Phase I) when given in conjunction with Pembrolizumab for recurrent malignant glioma (glioblastoma multiforme, anaplastic astrocytoma, or glio-sarcoma).
Almost all gliomas relapse. After temozolomide rechallenge or combination with irinotecan, the progression-free survival rate at 6 months (PFS-6%) of recurrent glioblastoma was about 21%. After treatment with irinotecan-based chemotherapy regimen, the PFS-6% of recurrent lower-grade gliomas was 40%. The optimal chemotherapeutics of recurrent gliomas has yet to be determined. Anti-angiogenesis is a promising therapeutic strategy. Vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF) is the primary driver of angiogenesis in tumors. Bevacizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody directed against VEGF, is the prototypical anti-angiogenic drug and received accelerated approval of the United...
