NCT03176160
The purpose of this study is to to describe the effect of a palliative regimen consisting of Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT) on distress, quality of life (QOL), neurocognition, days in the hospital, patient disposition, and readmission in newly diagnosed World Health Organization (WHO) grade IV malignant glioma (glioblastoma (GBM) or gliosarcoma) patients unable to undergo broader surgical resection. The primary objective is to assess changes in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) distress thermometer in newly diagnosed WHO grade IV malignant glioma patients who receive LITT. \*Please note: This study was originally designed as a interventional device study studying the effect of the LITT procedure; however, it was re-designed as an observational study in which the patient population being studied is approved to receive the LITT procedure.
NCT02213536
To investigate the use of a scalp sparing technique of radiotherapy treatment designed to treat the whole brain. Current treatment methods to treat the whole brain with radiotherapy result in complete alopecia as a side effect. Hair loss is usually patchy and uneven and re-growth similar and slow. It is hoped that reducing the radiation dose to the hair bearing follicle on the scalp will reduce hair loss and increase the speed and evenness of re-growth.
NCT00977431
This study is a phase I, open label trial to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD), safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of BIBW 2992 (an epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)inhibitor) to be used in combination with: * radiotherapy alone (in patients with an unmethylated (functioning) MGMT gene regulator) or * radiotherapy and Temozolomide (in patients with a methylated (silenced) O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase gene (MGMT) to treat newly diagnosed patients with Grade IV Glioblastoma (primary brain cancer).
