NCT04145115
This phase II trial studies the effect of immunotherapy drugs (ipilimumab and nivolumab) in treating patients with glioma that has come back (recurrent) and carries a high number of mutations (mutational burden). Cancer is caused by changes (mutations) to genes that control the way cells function. Tumors with high number of mutations may respond well to immunotherapy. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies such as ipilimumab and nivolumab may help the body's immune system attack the cancer and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving ipilimumab and nivolumab may lower the chance of recurrent glioblastoma with high number of mutations from growing or spreading compared to usual care (surgery or chemotherapy).
NCT05765812
The primary purpose of the Phase 1 (Dose Escalation) of this study is to identify the dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of Debio 0123 combined with temozolomide (TMZ) (Arm A) and with TMZ and radiotherapy (RT) (Arms B and C) and to characterize the safety and tolerability of these combinations in adult participants with glioblastoma (GBM). Arm B which was previously added to the protocol, has been permanently halted per the safety monitoring committees' decision on the safety findings of this arm. The primary purpose of Phase 1 (Dose expansion) of the study is to assess the doses studied under Phase 1 (Dose Escalation) Arm A and identify the recommended dose (RD) for further development. The Phase 2 will start once the RD Phase 1 has been defined. The primary objective of Phase 2 is to assess the efficacy of Debio 0123 at the RD for further development in combination with TMZ, compared to the standard of care (SOC) in adult participants with GBM.
NCT06108206
The purpose of this study is to find out if performing additional Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) scans of the subjects' brain during each week of the radiation treatment of their high-grade glioma will help improve the radiation treatment.
NCT04065776
Low-grade gliomas (LGGs) are the most common brain tumors in children, and a subset of these tumors are treated definitively with focal radiation therapy (RT). These patients often survive for many years after receiving RT and experience late deficits in memory. Verbal recall is an important measure of memory and is associated with other important functional outcomes, such as problem-solving, independence of every-day functioning, and quality of life. Decline in memory, as measured by verbal recall, is associated with RT dose to the hippocampi. Therefore, this phase II study investigates the feasibility of reducing RT doses to the hippocampi (i.e., hippocampal avoidance \[HA\]) by using proton therapy for midline or suprasellar LGGs. Primary Objective: * To determine the feasibility of HA with proton therapy in suprasellar or midline LGGs. Feasibility will be established if 70% of plans meet the first or second dose constraints shown below. 1. First priority RT dose constraints for bilateral hippocampi: volume receiving 40 CGE (V40CGE) ≤ 25%, dose to 100% of Hippocampus (D100%) ≤ 5CGE. 2. Second priority RT dose constraints for bilateral hippocampi: V40CGE ≤ 35%, D100% ≤ 10 CGE. Secondary Objectives: * To estimate the 3-year event-free-survival (EFS) for LGGs treated with HA. * To estimate the change in California Verbal Learning Test short-term delay (CVLT-SD) from baseline to 3 years and from baseline to 5 years * To compare CVLT-SD and Cogstate neurocognitive scores in patients with proton therapy plans that: (1) meet first priority RT dose constraints, (2) meet second priority RT dose constraints but not first priority RT dose constraints, and (3) that did not meet either first or second RT priority dose constraints Exploratory Objectives: * To describe the change in overall cognitive performance from baseline to 3 years and from baseline to 5 years with an age appropriate battery, including gold standard measures shown in the published studies to be sensitive to attention, memory processing speed and executive function that will afford comparison to historical controls. * To characterize longitudinal changes in connection strength within brain networks in the first 3 years after proton therapy and to investigate associations between these changes and neurocognitive performance with focus on the hippocampi. * To correlate the distribution and change in L-methyl-11C-methionine positron emission tomography (MET-PET) uptake to tumor progression and from baseline to 3 years and to investigate whether cases of pseudoprogression exhibit a differential pattern of uptake and distribution compared to cases of true progression after controlling for histology. * To investigate the effect of BRAF alteration, tumor histology and tumor location on PFS and OS in a prospective cohort of patients treated in a homogenous manner. * To investigate whether the methylation profiles of LGGs differ by tumor location (thalamic/midbrain vs. hypothalamic/optic pathway vs. others) and histologies (pilocytic astrocytoma vs. diffuse astrocytoma vs. others), which, in conjunction with specific genetic alterations, may stratify patients into different subgroups and highlight different therapeutic targets. * To record longitudinal measures of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in plasma and correlate these measures with radiographic evidence of disease progression. * To bank formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE)/frozen tumors and whole blood from subjects for subsequent biology studies not currently defined in this protocol. * To quantify and characterize tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and to characterize the epigenetics of T cells and the T cell receptor repertoire within the tumor microenvironment. * To estimate the cumulative incidence of endocrine deficiencies, vision loss, hearing loss and vasculopathy after proton therapy and compare these data to those after photon therapy.
NCT07545603
This is a single-arm, open-label, multicenter Phase II clinical study designed to enroll 65 subjects with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma (EZH2 wild-type). The study procedures include a pre-screening phase, screening phase, treatment phase, and follow-up phase.Eligible subjects will enter the treatment phase and receive 1200 mg of XNW5004 tablets twice daily, with a 10-14-hour interval between doses. Each treatment cycle consists of 28 consecutive days of dosing, and pharmacokinetic (PK) blood samples will be collected at the designated time points.Safety assessments and quality-of-life (QoL) assessments will be performed in accordance with the study follow-up schedule.Tumor assessments will be conducted every 8 weeks (every 2 cycles) for the first 48 weeks after the first dose (Cycles 1 to 12), and every 12 weeks (every 3 cycles) thereafter (from Cycle 13 onward).Subjects who discontinue treatment must complete an end-of-treatment visit and safety follow-up. For long-term follow-up:Subjects who terminate treatment for reasons other than disease progression and do not initiate new antineoplastic therapy will continue tumor assessments per the original schedule until disease progression, initiation of new antineoplastic therapy, withdrawal of informed consent, loss to follow-up, or death, whichever occurs first.For all patients (excluding those who withdraw informed consent, are lost to follow-up, or die), survival follow-up will be performed every 12 weeks (±7 days) starting from the date of the last tumor assessment, until withdrawal of informed consent, loss to follow-up, or death, whichever occurs first.
NCT01384513
This phase II trial studies how well reduced intensity donor stem cell transplant works in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cells in the bone marrow, including normal blood-forming cells (stem cells) and cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The donated stem cells may also replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells (called graft-versus-host disease). Giving tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil after the transplant may stop this from happening. Once the donated stem cells begin working, the patient's immune system may see the remaining cancer cells as not belonging in the patient's body and destroy them. Giving an infusion of the donor's white blood cells (donor lymphocyte infusion) may boost this effect.
NCT04576117
This phase III trial investigates the best dose of vinblastine in combination with selumetinib and the benefit of adding vinblastine to selumetinib compared to selumetinib alone in treating children and young adults with low-grade glioma (a common type of brain cancer) that has come back after prior treatment (recurrent) or does not respond to therapy (progressive). Selumetinib is a drug that works by blocking a protein that lets tumor cells grow without stopping. Vinblastine blocks cell growth by stopping cell division and may kill cancer cells. Giving selumetinib in combination with vinblastine may work better than selumetinib alone in treating recurrent or progressive low-grade glioma.
NCT02800486
Primary brain tumors are typically treated by surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, either individually or in combination. Present therapies are inadequate, as evidenced by the low 5-year survival rate for brain cancer patients, with median survival at approximately 12 months. Glioma is the most common form of primary brain cancer, afflicting approximately 7,000 patients in the United States each year. These highly malignant cancers remain a significant unmet clinical need in oncology. GBM often has a high expression of EFGR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor), which is associated with poor prognosis. Several methods of inhibiting this receptor have been tested, including monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, and tyrosine kinase inhibitors. The investigators hypothesize that in patients with recurring GBM, intracranial superselective intra-arterial infusion of Cetuximab (CTX), at a dose of 250mg/m2 in conjunction with hypofractionated radiation, will be safe and efficacious and prevent tumor progression in patients with recurrent, residual GBM.
NCT05789394
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of allogenic adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs) in treating patients with glioblastoma or astrocytoma that has come back (recurrent) who are undergoing brain surgery (craniotomy). Glioblastoma is the most common and most aggressive form of primary and malignant tumor of the brain. Currently, the standard of care for this disease includes surgical resection, followed by radiation with chemotherapy and tumor treating fields. Despite this aggressive therapy, the survival after finishing treatment remains low and the disease often reoccurs. Unfortunately, the available therapy options for recurrent glioblastoma are minimal and do not have a great effect on survival. AMSCs are found in body fat and when separated from the fat, are delivered into the surgical cavity at the time of surgery. When in direct contact with tumor cells, AMSCs affect tumor growth, residual tumor cell death, and chemotherapy resistance. The use of AMSCs delivered locally into the surgical cavity of recurrent glioblastoma during a craniotomy could improve the long-term outcomes of these patients by decreasing the progression rate and invasiveness of malignant cells.
NCT07417761
The TUVASTRAT study is a phase 2, non-randomized, two.cohort, CRS clinical trial of tuvusertib in patients with first recurrence of IDH1/2-mutated, ATRX-mutated and p53-mutated astrocytoma (Grade 2-4 from WHO classification). The mutational status of IDH (required for diagnosis) is also required. CDKN2A and ATRX will be also determined locally as per standard of care. All enrolled patients should have received first-line chemotherapy and have reported a contrast enhanced PD. Eligible patients are enrolled in two cohorts depending on their eligibility to undergo rescue surgery: * Cohort A: First recurrence of IDH1/2-mutated, ATRX-mutated astrocytoma NOT eligible for rescue surgery. * Cohort B: First recurrence of IDH1/2-mutated, ATRX-mutated astrocytoma candidates to rescue surgery. The primary hypothesis is that treatment with tuvusertib, an ATR inhibitor, will improve the efficacy outcomes and increase the 6-months PFS rate from 45% reported by the standard therapies up to 65% in patients with recurrent IDH-mutated astrocytomas with ATRX mutation. Clinic visits will occur every 3 weeks ±3 days. Tumor assessments by MRI according to RANO 2.0 criteria will be performed at baseline, and every 12 weeks +/-2 weeks (Q12W) until PD, patient withdrawal, start of new treatment line or death. This schedule must be maintained regardless of any delays in dosing. After the first suspect of progression, we recommend a second MRI at 4-8 weeks to confirm the progression, except if there is clinical progression. The MRI imaging will be assessed by PI and central radiologists. The trial includes the assessment of safety (AEs, comorbidities) throughout the study period at every visit, the collection of health-related patient reported outcomes through validated questionnaires at baseline, coincident with the tumor assessments and at the safety visit. Neurologic / neurocognitive status will be assessed through validated tests administered by the physicians. Additionally, ATRX, IDH, P53 and CDK2A mutations will be centrally reviewed in tumor biopsies or archival tumor tissue obtained as close as possible to the baseline. PKs will be determined in sparse peripheral blood samples during the treatment phase. The study includes a data safety monitoring committee (DSMC) to regularly review safety and efficacy. The DSMC will review efficacy and safety at least yearly and more frequently if deemed necessary.
NCT04729959
This phase II trial studies the best dose and effect of tocilizumab in combination with atezolizumab and stereotactic radiation therapy in treating glioblastoma patients whose tumor has come back after initial treatment (recurrent). Tocilizumab is a monoclonal antibody that binds to receptors for a protein called interleukin-6 (IL-6), which is made by white blood cells and other cells in the body as well as certain types of cancer. This may help lower the body's immune response and reduce inflammation. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy uses special equipment to precisely deliver multiple, smaller doses of radiation spread over several treatment sessions to the tumor. The goal of this study is to change a tumor that is unresponsive to cancer therapy into a more responsive one. Therapy with fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy in combination with tocilizumab may suppress the inhibitory effect of immune cells surrounding the tumor and consequently allow an immunotherapy treatment by atezolizumab to activate the immune response against the tumor. Combination therapy with tocilizumab, atezolizumab and fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy may shrink or stabilize the cancer better than radiation therapy alone in patients with recurrent glioblastoma.
NCT06809322
The main goal of VIGOR is to demonstrate that vorasidenib maintenance therapy improves locally assessed progression-free survival (PFS) from enrolment compared to placebo in patients with IDH-mutant, CNS5 WHO Grade 2 or 3 astrocytoma following the completion of first-line chemoradiotherapy. The primary endpoint is Progression-free survival (PFS), as assessed locally from the date of enrolment using the RANO 2.0 criteria. In this a comparative, randomized (1:1), triple blinded, multicentre phase III superiority trial with one stopping rule for efficacy and futility after end of enrolment, participants in the experimental arm will receive vorasidenib orally once daily at a dose of 40 mg in continuous 28-day cycles while participants in the control arm will receive a matched oral placebo once daily in continuous 28-day cycles
NCT04197934
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of WSD0922-FU for the treatment of glioblastoma, anaplastic astrocytoma, or non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the central nervous system (central nervous system metastases). WSD0922-FU is a targeted treatment which blocks the EGFR protein - a strategy that has led to a lot of benefit in patients with many different cancers. WSD0922-FU may also be able to get into cancers in the brain and spinal cord and help patients with brain and spinal cord cancers. Funding Source - FDA OOPD
NCT03596086
Study to assess the safety and efficacy of HSV-tk (gene therapy), valacyclovir, radiotherapy and chemotherapy in recurrent glioblastoma multiforme.
NCT04195555
This phase II Pediatric MATCH trial studies how well ivosidenib works in treating patients with solid tumors, including central nervous system tumors, lymphomas and histiocytic disorders that have not responded to (refractory) or have come back after (recurrent) prior treatment that have IDH (isocitrate dehydrogenase) 1 genetic alterations (mutations). Ivosidenib may block the growth of cancer cells that have specific genetic changes in an important signaling pathway called the IDH pathway.
NCT02520791
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of anti-inducible T-cell co-stimulator (ICOS) monoclonal antibody MEDI-570 in treating patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma follicular variant or angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma that has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed) or has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as anti-ICOS monoclonal antibody MEDI-570, may induce changes in the body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
NCT01829568
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of lenalidomide and ibrutinib when given together with rituximab in treating patients with previously untreated stage II-IV follicular lymphoma. Lenalidomide may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody. It binds to a protein called CD20, which is found on B cells (a type of white blood cell) and some types of cancer cells. This may help the immune system kill cancer cells. Giving lenalidomide and ibrutinib together with rituximab may work well in treating follicular lymphoma.
NCT06860594
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of triapine in combination with radiation therapy in treating patients with glioblastoma or astrocytoma that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Triapine may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Giving triapine in combination with radiation therapy may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with recurrent glioblastoma or astrocytoma.
NCT05839379
The goal of this study is to perform genetic sequencing on brain tumors from children, adolescents, and young adult patients who have been newly diagnosed with a high-grade glioma. This molecular profiling will decide if patients are eligible to participate in a subsequent treatment-based clinical trial based on the genetic alterations identified in their tumor.
NCT07416188
Background: Glioblastoma is a common brain cancer in adults. Treatment includes surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. But this cancer can return after treatment and is often fatal. Researchers want to know if a study drug (LMP744) can kill glioblastoma tumor cells. Objective: To test LMP744 in people with glioblastoma. Eligibility: People aged 18 years or older with glioblastoma that returned after treatment. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a surgery to remove a small sample of tumor tissue (biopsy) from the brain. This will be done under protocol 03-N-0164. They will stay in the clinic for 1 night. They will also have imaging scans and tests of their heart function. Participants will have a central line installed: A flexible tube will be inserted into a vein in the chest. It will be attached to a port under the skin. This port will be used to draw blood and give medicines without having to insert new needles into a vein. LMP744 will be given through the central line for 5 days in a row. Participants will remain in the clinic for this time. Participants will then have a second surgery to remove as much of their tumor as possible. They will remain in the clinic until they recover from the surgery. Then they will recover at home after surgery. Participants will return to the clinic to receive the study drug for 5 days in a row through the central line, once a month for up to 12 months. Blood tests, heart function tests, and periodic imaging scans will be repeated during these visits. Participants will continue to have telehealth visits every 3 months after they stop taking the drug.
