NCT04284774
This phase II pediatric MATCH trial studies how well tipifarnib works in treating patients with solid tumors that have recurred or spread to other places in the body (advanced), lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders, that have a genetic alteration in the gene HRAS. Tipifarnib may block the growth of cancer cells that have specific genetic changes in a gene called HRAS and may reduce tumor size.
NCT04924075
This is a study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of belzutifan monotherapy in participants with advanced pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma (PPGL), pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (pNET), von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease-associated tumors, advanced wt (wild-type) gastrointestinal stromal tumor (wt GIST), or advanced solid tumors with hypoxia inducible factor-2 alpha (HIF-2α) related genetic alterations. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the objective response rate (ORR) of belzutifan per response evaluation criteria in solid tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) by blinded independent central review (BICR).

NCT02586857
A Phase 1b/2, Multicenter, Open-Label Study of ACP-196 in Subjects with Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM)
NCT04656535
This is a phase 0/I exploratory study. Patients at first or second recurrence of glioblastoma will be enrolled. The study will be divided into two cohorts: Cohort A (safety cohort) and Cohort B (surgical patient cohort). Cohort A: Eligible patients will be sequentially enrolled to receive intravenous domvanalimab combined with zimberelimab (N=6). Domvanalimab will be given at a dose of 10 mg/kg and zimberelimab will be given at a dose of 240 mg (flat). The dosing was determined in a separate study in solid tumors; this cohort will confirm the safety of the dosing schedule in patients with brain tumors. Cohort B: Expansion surgical cohort. The purpose of cohort B is to provide an additional safety evaluation of domvanalimab + zimberelimab as well as tissue and blood for exploratory ancillary studies investigating the effects of domvanalimab + zimberelimab in the tumor and tumor microenvironment. A total of 46 patients will be enrolled in this cohort.
NCT05976490
This goal of this study is to test an information and support intervention for patients with malignant (or "high-grade") brain tumors. This study was developed to help patients cope after a brain tumor diagnosis. The main question this study aims to answer is whether this intervention (which includes access to an information guide and one-on-one coaching sessions) is feasible (i.e., possible to carry out) and acceptable (i.e., considered helpful) to patients. Participants will be asked to take part in the coaching sessions, use the guide as desired, and complete a small group of short surveys at three different points in time; some participants will be asked to share feedback via exit interviews.
NCT01358058
In this research study the investigators are looking at a type of radiation called proton radiation. Proton radiation has been shown to deliver virtually no radiation beyond the area of the tumor, sparing surrounding normal tissue from exposure. This may reduce side effects that patients would normally experience with conventional radiation therapy. In this research study the investigators are looking to determine if proton radiation with a reduced field size will be as effective in controlling tumor growth as photon therapy, while reducing the treatment-related side effects observed in patients with brain tumors.
NCT02977780

The drugs involved in this study are : * Abemaciclib (arm is currently closed to accrual) * Temozolomide (temodar) * Neratinib (arm is currently closed to accrual) * CC115 (arm is currently closed to accrual) * QBS10072S
NCT04687969
This research study wants to develop advanced imaging methods to more accurately characterize prostate cancer or solid tumor aggressiveness. This observational study involves \[18F\]DCFPyL positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI)
NCT06552260
This research study is studying troriluzole as a possible treatment for recurrent glioblastoma. The name of the study drug involved in this research study is: -Troriluzole (a tripeptide prodrug of riluzole)
NCT01734512
This is an open label study of everolimus in children with recurrent or progressive low-grade glioma.
NCT01063114
There are two types of external radiation treatments (proton beam and photon beam). As part of the participant's treatment, they will receive radiation to the entire central nervous system (CNS); this is known as craniospinal irradiation (CSI). In the past, photon radiation therapy has been used for CSI. In this study we will be examining the effects of proton beam radiation therapy. Studies have suggested that this kind of radiation can cause less damage to normal tissue than photon radiation therapy. The physical characteristics of proton beam radiation let the doctor safely deliver the amount of radiation delivered to the tumor that is normally delivered through standard therapy but spare more normal tissue in the process.
NCT01748149
This is a multicenter, safety and pharmacokinetic trial to determine the MTD and/or select a recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of vemurafenib in children with recurrent or refractory gliomas containing the BRAFV600E or BRAF Ins T mutation.
NCT05563272
A prospective, open-label, phase 2 study to explore CAIX expression through 89Zirconium-labelled girentuximab deferoxamine (89Zr-girentuximab) PET/CT imaging in patients with solid tumors.

NCT05267106
This is an open-label, monotherapy study of pemigatinib in participants with recurrent glioblastoma (GBM) or other recurrent gliomas, circumscribed astrocytic gliomas, and glioneuronal and neuronal tumors with an activating FGFR1-3 mutation or fusion/rearrangement. This study consists of 2 cohorts, Cohorts A, and B, and will enroll approximately 82 participants into each cohort. Participants will receive pemigatinib 13.5 mg QD on a 2-week on-therapy and 1-week off-therapy schedule as long as they are receiving benefit and have not met any criteria for study withdrawal.
NCT05376800
This study is open to adults with newly diagnosed glioblastoma, a type of brain tumor. The study has two parts. Part 1 is open to people who can get their brain tumor removed by surgery. Part 2 is open to people who already had such a brain surgery. This study tests a medicine called BI 907828 (Brigimadlin). BI 907828 (Brigimadlin) is a socalled MDM2 inhibitor that is being developed to treat cancer. The purpose of Part 1 of the study is to find out how BI 907828 (Brigimadlin) is taken up in the tumor. Participants take a single dose of BI 907828 (Brigimadlin) as a tablet before the brain surgery. Part 1 of the study takes about 1 month. During this time, participants have their brain tumor removed by surgery and visit the study site about 8 times. The purpose of Part 2 is to find the highest dose of BI 907828 (Brigimadlin) that the participants can tolerate in combination with standard radiation therapy. During the first 6 weeks, participants get standard radiation therapy. In addition, they take a dose of BI 907828 (Brigimadlin) once every 3 weeks. Participants may continue to take BI 907828 (Brigimadlin) as long as they benefit from treatment and can tolerate it. They visit the study site regularly. During the entire study, doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
NCT03345095
The standard of care for newly diagnosed glioblastoma includes surgery, involved-field radiotherapy, and concomitant and six cycles of maintenance temozolomide chemotherapy, however the prognosis remains dismal. Marizomib has been tested in patients with newly diagnosed and recurrent glioblastoma in phase I and phase II studies. In patients with recurrent glioblastoma, marizomib was administered as a single agent or in combination with bevacizumab (NCT02330562). Based on encouraging observations, a phase I/II trial of marizomib in combination with Temozolomide+Radiotherapy(TMZ/RT) followed by Temozolomide (TMZ) in newly diagnosed glioblastoma has been launched (NCT02903069) which explores safety and tolerability of this triple combination and which shall help to determine the dose for further clinical trials in glioblastoma. In this context, given that marizomib has been established as a safe addition to the standard TMZ/RT --\>TMZ, a phase III study is considered essential to establishing its impact on overall survival.
NCT07238322
This study is designed to prospectively analyze \[18F\]FET PET image data obtained retrospectively in the routine clinical care of glioma patients. The study will analyse the data from participants with grade (1-4) glioma after primary treatment according to local clinical practice and with suspicion of progression/recurrence on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
