Background: Diffuse gliomas are tumors that affect the brain and spinal cord. Gliomas that develop in people with certain gene mutations (IDH1 or IDH2) are especially aggressive. Better treatments are needed. Objective: To see if a study drug (zotiraciclib) is effective in people with recurrent diffuse gliomas who have IDH1 or IDH2 mutations. Eligibility: People aged 15 years and older with diffuse gliomas that returned after treatment. They must also have mutations in the IDH1 or IDH2 genes. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood and urine tests. They will have tests of their heart function. They will have an MRI of...
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of Vemurafenib in combination with Metformin in melanoma patients. The phase II part of the study will also evaluate the clinical activity of the combined regiment. Based on pre-clinical studies and a phase I trial, the investigators hypothesize that the combination of an FDA-approved non-toxic dose of oral Metformin with Vemurafenib will yield little toxicity and improve clinical outcomes in terms of objective response rates and survival in metastatic melanoma patients.
Study to assess the effectiveness and safety of SHR 1316, bevacizumab combined with cisplatin/carboplatin for treatment of triple-negative breast cancer brain metastases.
To learn if the study drugs, tucatinib and adotrastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1), can help to control solid tumors that have spread to the brain.
Single-arm, monocentric trial to assess safety and immunological efficacy of adjuvant vaccination with autologous dendritic cells loaded with autologous tumour homogenate after curative resection for stage IV rare cancers (In Head/Neck tumors (H&N), NEuroendocrine Tumors (NET) and Soft Tissue Sarcomas (STS).
This is a phase I study to assess the safety and efficacy of [225Ac]Ac-DOTATATE in patients with inoperable, locally advanced or metastatic, progressive, Well-Differentiatedwell differentiated, somatostatin receptor positive gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms with either no prior history of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT naive) or prior history of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (Previous PRRT).
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and feasibility of Magnetic Resonance Imaging-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) in patients with epilepsy whose medicines are not working well. The ExAblate (ExAblate) transcranial system is the name of the device that will be used to create and send ultrasound waves through the scalp and skull precisely to a small structure located in the center of the brain. This structure is known as the "Anterior Nucleus", and is an important region in the brain that may cause the seizures. Safety will be measured by recording and analyzing any adverse effects that may occur from the day of the experimental surgery through 12 months following...
This is open label, multicentre, single arm, pilot study of upfront nivolumab in patients with RRD-glioblastoma with favorable immune/genomic biomarkers. The purpose of the study is to use upfront immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) to delay/avoid radiation for patients with RRD-glioblastoma with favorable clinical (Gross total resection (GTR) or near total resection (NTR)) and biological (RRD, hypermutation, immune activation) biomarkers. At progression, patients will be undergoing surgery/biopsy and will get a combination of radiation + ICI followed by maintenance ICI. This model will allow us to additionally study the evolution tumor in response to ICI. The study will have two...
This clinical trial is for men and women with high-grade gliomas. Glucose (sugar) is thought to be a contributor to tumor growth. The ketogenic diet (a high fat, low carbohydrate diet) and metformin (a drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat type 2 diabetes) are both known to lower blood glucose levels. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the tolerability of a ketogenic diet in conjunction with metformin and whether maintaining and the diet with metformin will have any effect on participants. Participants will prepare their own meals with the help of a nutritionist. Participants will continue on treatment as long as they are responding to therapy and not...
This is a pilot study that will evaluate disease status in children that have been newly diagnosed high-grade glioma with TRK fusion. The evaluation will occur after 2 cycles of the medication (Larotrectinib) have been given. The study will also evaluate the safety of larotrectinib when given with chemotherapy in your children; as well as the safety larotrectinib when given post-focal radiation therapy.
