Background: Diffuse midline gliomas are the most aggressive brain tumors of childhood and young adults. Most people with these tumors survive less than 2 years. Researchers want to see if an anticancer drug (abemaciclib) can help. Objective: To see if researchers can measure how much abemaciclib is in a person's brain tumor and brain fluid after they take the drug for a few days. Eligibility: People aged 18 to 39 with recurrent high-grade glioma or diffuse midline glioma. Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Blood and urine tests Tests of heart function Imaging scans of the brain, with a contrast...
This is a Phase 1/2, multi-center, open-label, dose-escalation and expansion study to evaluate safety and tolerability, PK, pharmacodynamic, and early signal of anti-tumor activity of MDNA11 alone or in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor in patients with advanced solid tumors.
Despite some encouraging data, systemic treatment of CNS metastases from solid tumors remains experimental. Better knowledge on the evolving epidemiology and biology of BM are key elements for the development of new treatment strategies and identification of promising therapeutic targets for new compounds. Further biological findings may help to better understand the heterogeneity between the primary tumor and the CNS metastases and to identify new targets for therapy thus improving patients' outcome. In this context, the Oncodistinct network and the Jules Bordet institute propose to build a multidisciplinary Brain Metastases Clinical Research Platform called BrainStorm....
According to current guidelines, patients have to withhalt long-acting somatostatin analogues (LA-SSA) for 4-6 weeks prior to every 177Lutetium-DOTATATE administration. The primary objective of the study is to investigate the effect of LA-SSA on the absorbed dose in tumor lesions during PRRT.
This research study is a Phase 1/2 clinical trial testing the safety, tolerance and efficacy of the drug Acalabrutinib for people with recurrent or refractory central nervous system lymphoma (CNSL).
This phase Ib/II trial studies the side effects and efficacy of maintenance acalabrutinib following cellular therapy in treating patients with large B-cell lymphoma at very high risk of the cancer coming back. Acalabrutinib is a small molecular inhibitor that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread.
This is an observational post-market study determining biopsy accuracy in a clinical environment using Cirq® Robotic Alignment Module Cranial. The goal is to determine whether the robotic procedure to be examined can achieve a clinically acceptable value of at least 90% in terms of diagnostic yield.
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common brain tumor in adults. The strikingly poor survival for patients with GBM (average survival 14-16 months following diagnosis) is due in part to limited early detection methods and an absence of effective therapeutic options. The study proposed would establish important evidence for the use of Health Canada approved drugs such as amantadine as a safe, effective and affordable way to monitor GBM. The method is based on the overproduction of a key enzyme in GBM cells called spermine/ spermidine n-acetyl transferase (SSAT1). The increased SSAT1 expression in GBM results in increased metabolism of the drug which is detected in the blood...
The objective of the BELGICA trial is to evaluate if radiotherapy could be given in a more focused manner in patients with glioblastoma in order to reduce side effects and improve quality of life. The glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive tumour originating from the brain, affecting approximately 600 patients per year in Belgium. The treatment consists in surgical resection of the tumour (when feasible), followed by a combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Despite multimodal treatment (surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy), the life expectancy of patients with GBM remains limited, with an average survival of 12-18 months and only 5% of patients surviving...
This study is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, single-arm clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of the ZRMT (Zanubrutinib-Rituximab-Methotrexate-Temozolomide) regimen in the treatment of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. This study includes an induction phase for PCNSL ± ASCT and a sequential maintenance phase.
