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.
NCT07464925
This is an open-label, multicenter dose-escalation study to be followed by a dose expansion to define the optimal dose of GLIX1 as monotherapy by reviewing safety and tolerability, disease characteristics and pharmacokinetic profiles and preliminary clinical activity in participants with a high grade diffuse glioma that progressed during or recurred after prior standard of care therapies or investigational therapies as clinically indicated. Patients will be treated daily with GLIX1 capsules until disease progression or unacceptable safety.
NCT00083512
This study will collect blood and urine samples from patients undergoing radiation therapy for glioblastoma multiforme (a type of brain tumor) to investigate the effects of this treatment on blood cells and certain proteins. The information from this study may help scientists develop new tests to measure radiation exposure and find new ways to treat cancer with radiation, and help determine which kinds of patients or tumors respond better to radiation therapy. Two proteins of particular interest in this study and which may be involved in the recurrence of cancer are VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) and MMPs (matrix metalloproteinases). Patients 18 years of age and older with glioblastoma multiforme who are receiving or will receive radiation therapy as part of their medical treatment may be eligible for this study. Candidates are screened with a history and physical examination, blood tests, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain. Participants will have blood and urine samples collected before, during and after completion of their radiation treatment. Urine samples are collected in a cup and about 2 tablespoons of blood are withdrawn through a needle in a vein. Additional samples may be requested at different times during treatment and in the 3-year follow-up period. ...
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.

TLX101-Tx delivers targeted radiation to glioblastoma cells. The trial is conducted in two parts: Part 1 assesses safety and radiation dosing; Part 2 is a randomized comparison of the combination therapy against standard care.
NCT05182905
This is an open-label, single-center Phase 0/1b study that will enroll at least 27 participants with recurrent WHO Grade 4 Glioma requiring re-radiation and approximately 35 participants with newly-diagnosed WHO Grade 4 glioma (nGBM). The trial will be composed of a Phase 0 component (subdivided into Arms A - C), and an expansion Phase 1b. Patients with tumors demonstrating a positive PK response in the Phase 0 component of the study will be eligible to graduate to an expansion phase that combines therapeutic dosing of AZD1390 plus standard-of-care fractionated radiotherapy (RT).
NCT04978727
Patients will receive a vaccine called SurVaxM on this study. While vaccines are usually thought of as ways to prevent diseases, vaccines can also be used to treat cancer. SurVaxM is designed to tell the body's immune system to look for tumor cells that express a protein called survivin and destroy them. The survivin protein can be found on up to 95% of glioblastomas and other types of cancer but is not found in normal cells. If the body's immune system knows to destroy cells that express survivin, it may help to control tumor growth and recurrence. SurVaxM will be mixed with Montanide ISA 51 before it is given. Montanide ISA 51 is an ingredient that helps create a stronger immune response in people, which helps the vaccine work better. This study has two phases: Priming and Maintenance. During the Priming Phase, patients will get one dose of SurVaxM combined with Montanide ISA 51 through a subcutaneous injection (a shot under the skin) at the start of the study and every 2 weeks for 6 weeks (for a total of 4 doses). At the same time that patients get the SurVaxM/Montanide ISA 51 injection, they will also get a second subcutaneous injection of a medicine called sargramostim. Sargramostim is given close to the SurVaxM//Montanide ISA 51 injection and works to stimulate the immune system to help the SurVaxM/Montanide ISA 51 work more effectively. If a patient completes the Priming Phase without severe side effects and his or her disease stays the same or improves, he or she can continue to the Maintenance Phase. During the Maintenance Phase, the patient will get a SurVaxM/Montanide ISA 51 dose along with a sargramostim dose about every 8 weeks for up to two years. After a patient finishes the study treatment, the doctor and study team will continue to follow his/her condition and watch for side effects up to 3 years following the last dose of SurVaxM/Montanide ISA 51. Patients will be seen in clinic every 3 months during the follow-up period.

The objective of this program is to provide GaM for compassionate use in patients with relapsed/refractory histologic or molecular glioblastoma who have exhausted available treatments. The population of this program is adult patients aged greater than or equal to 18 years with a diagnosis of relapsed/refractory histologic or molecular glioblastoma, according to the WHO 2021 diagnostic criteria. Molecular glioblastoma is characterized as an IDH-wildtype diffuse and astrocytic glioma in adults if there is microvascular proliferation or necrosis or TERT promoter mutation or EGFR gene amplification or +7/-10 chromosome copy number changes
NCT05281731
This clinical study to evaluate sonobiopsy is significant because sonobiopsy will fundamentally enhance the clinician's insight into the molecular features of an intracranial lesion to tailor treatment approaches and optimize outcomes. In addition to the standard diagnostics of anatomic imaging and surgical histology, sonobiopsy has the potential to become the third pillar for brain tumor management by radically advancing the ability to easily and regularly acquire tumor genetic and molecular signatures. This enhanced capability will have a dramatic impact on patient survival and quality of life.
NCT03389802
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of APX005M in treating younger patients with primary malignant central nervous system tumor that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive), or newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma. APX005M can trigger activation of B cells, monocytes, and dendritic cells and stimulate cytokine release from lymphocytes and monocytes. APX005M can mediate a direct cytotoxic effect on CD40+ tumor cells.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of paxalisib in combination with temozolomide and to determine the preliminary antitumour activity of the combination therapy. In the Phase 1b of this study parallel biomarker defined arms will be opened in the front-line unmethylated MGMT setting, enrolling 10 patients onto each arm. These patients will be treated with paxalisib in combination with temozolomide (TMZ). The starting dose of paxalisib will be 45mg once a day (OD) with the option of increasing to 60 mg (30 mg BD) in Cycle 2. TMZ will be administered once daily by mouth on days 1 to 5 in a 28-day cycle, with a starting dose of 150mg/m2 during cycles 1 and 2, and subsequent dose escalation to 200mg/m2 at the start of cycle 3 if cycles 1 and 2 have been well tolerated with no significant toxicity.
NCT05756985
To collect and preserve glioblastoma tissue during standard of care tumor resection surgery and blood for future molecular and genetic testing. Tissue for research will be collected from three different regions within the same tumor to study how these regions differ in their structure, DNA, and RNA and also to compare the data obtained from this testing to imaging data found in the medical record. The goal of this study is to help us better understand what the glioblastoma tumor tissue looks like and how it functions. This understanding can lead to new therapies for the treatment of glioblastoma in the future.

NCT04869449
This research is being done to find out if the study drug (ketoconazole) can enter brain tumors at a high enough amount to stop the tumor cells from dividing. Ketoconazole is a drug which doctors already use for fungal infections and is thought to be able to effect tumor cells. As treatments for this type of brain tumor are limited, it is hoped that the results of this study will help to determine if the study drug should be studied further as a possible treatment.
NCT05423210
This is a single-arm pilot study that will recruit 12 patients with newly diagnosed Glioblastoma, a malignant brain tumor with a poor prognosis. Patients will be treated with fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) for 2 weeks, in addition to two doses of Atezolizumab (Tecentriq), an FDA approved PD- L1 inhibitor drug, 840 mg IV, at the beginning and at the end of the two-week time period, concomitantly with FSRT. After this initial two weeks treatment the patients will undergo craniotomy and maximal safe resection as per normal care for a GB. After surgery patients will follow the normal care for glioblastoma in addition to Atezolizumab 840 mg IV q2 weeks for the duration of adjuvant treatment.
