NCT05958472
Participation in medical trials usually favors a particular demographic group. But there is limited research available to explain what trial attributes affect the completion of these specific demographic groups. This trial will admit a wide range of data on the clinical trial experience of glioma patients to determine which factors prevail in limiting a patient's ability to join or finish a trial. It will also try to analyze data from the perspective of different demographic groups to check for recurring trends which might yield insights for the sake of future glioma patients.
NCT01220271
The purpose of this trial is to show proof of concept that by blocking the Transforming Growth Factor-beta signaling pathway in patients with Glioblastoma, there will be clinical benefit. Phase 1b: To determine the safe and tolerable dose of LY2157299 in combination with radiochemotherapy with temozolomide for Phase 2 in patients with glioma eligible to receive radiochemotherapy with temozolomide (e.g. newly diagnosed malignant glioma World Health Organization Grade III and IV). Phase 2a: To confirm the tolerability and evaluate the pharmacodynamic effect of LY2157299 in combination with standard radiochemotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma.
NCT06102837
Glioma is the most common primary malignant intracranial tumor, characterized by limited clinical treatment options and extremely poor prognosis. There is an urgent need for the development of new technologies and clinical practice. With the advancement of immunotherapy, tumor therapeutic vaccines have emerged as a hot topic in the field of solid tumor immunotherapy. Several clinical trials have confirmed that tumor vaccines can improve the prognosis of glioma patients. Vaccines are the first systemic treatment technology in nearly 30 years that can simultaneously extend the overall survival of patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma and recurrent glioblastoma in Phase III clinical trials. This novel approach holds significant clinical value and brings hope to large number of patients. Our team has previously developed a dendritic cell (DC) vaccine for glioma, and the phase II clinical trial has demonstrated that it can extend the prognosis of glioma patients. However, several patients benefit less from vaccine therapy. Therefore, the identification of molecular mechanisms that render patients unresponsive to vaccine treatment is critical to improving vaccine efficacy. This project aims to collect various types of clinical samples from patients, including glioma patients receiving tumor vaccine treatment, glioma patients receiving conventional clinical treatment without tumor vaccine, and non-tumor patients (hemorrhagic stroke, ischemic stroke, and traumatic brain injury). High-throughput sequencing techniques will be used to establish an immune microenvironment database, followed by bioinformatics analysis and molecular biology experiments to uncover the molecular mechanisms influencing vaccine efficacy. Artificial intelligence and deep learning technologies will be employed to extract molecular mechanisms related information from radiology images and pathology images. Ultimately, the project seeks to establish an integrated diagnostic and treatment model that combines imaging, pathology, and omics data to advance the clinical application of vaccines.
NCT02924038
This is a pilot, randomized, two arm neoadjuvant vaccine study in human leukocyte antigen-A2 positive (HLA-A2+) adults with World Health Organization (WHO) grade II glioma, for which surgical resection of the tumor is clinically indicated. Co-primary objectives are to determine: 1) the safety of the novel combination of subcutaneously administered IMA950 peptides and poly-ICLC (Hiltonol) and i.v. administered CDX-1127 (Varlilumab) in the neoadjuvant approach; and 2) whether addition of i.v. CDX-1127 (Varlilumab) increases the response rate and magnitude of CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell responses against the IMA950 peptides in post-vaccine peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples obtained from participating patients.
NCT00256425
The purpose of this study is to determine whether cognitive rehabilitation is effective in patients with gliomas (brain tumour), by comparing direct and follow-up neuropsychological functioning and quality of life of the experimental group to the control group.
NCT04588987
GBM is the most common intracranial tumor in adults, accounting for about 40% of all primary intracranial tumors.Although surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy have been used, the prognosis of glioma patients is still very poor. The study aim to Evaluate the Safety and efficiency of Using the neoadjuvant therapy with Carilizumab and Apatinib in patients with Recurrent High-Grade Glioma.
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.
NCT05739500
The goal of this multi-center clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of MRI-based computer-aided diagnosis software (V1) for glioma segmentation, gene prediction, and tumor grading. Machine learning methods such as high-precision tumor segmentation and classification and discrimination modeling can further optimize the non-invasive molecular diagnosis and prognosis prediction. The main question it aims to answer is whether the software can predict the molecular type and the prognosis quickly and correctly. The results will be compared with the real-world clinical data double-blindly. Finally, form a set of user-friendly automatic glioma diagnosis and treatment systems for clinics.
NCT01682187
This is a study of oral LY2157299 as monotherapy and in combination with lomustine in participants with recurrent malignant glioma.
NCT01550523
This human Phase I trial involves taking the patient's own tumor cells during surgical craniotomy, treating them with an investigational new drug (an antisense molecule) designed to shut down a targeted surface receptor protein, and re-implanting the cells, now encapsulated in small diffusion chambers the size of a dime in the patient's abdomen within 24 hours after the surgery. Loss of the surface receptor causes the tumor cells to die in a process called apoptosis. As the tumor cells die, they release small particles called exosomes, each full of tumor antigens. It is believed that these exosomes as well as the presence of the antisense molecule work together to activate the immune system against the tumor as they slowly diffuse out of the chamber. This combination product therefore serves as a slow-release antigen depot. Immune cells are immediately available for activation outside of the chamber because a wound was created to implant these tumor cells and a foreign body (the chamber) is present in the wound. The wound and the chamber fortify the initial immune response which eventually leads to the activation of immune system T cells that attack and eliminate the tumor. By training the immune system to recognize the tumor, the patient is also protected through immune surveillance from later tumor growth should the tumor recur. Compared to the other immunotherapy strategies, this treatment marshalls the native immune system (specifically the antigen presenting cells, or dendritic cells) rather than engineering the differentiation of these immune cells and re-injecting them. Compared to traditional treatment alternatives for tumor recurrence, including a boost of further radiation and more chemotherapy, this treatment represents potentially greater benefit with fewer risks. This combination product serves as a therapeutic vaccine with an acceptable safety profile, which activates an anti-tumor adaptive immune response resulting in radiographic tumor regression.
NCT03072134
Malignant gliomas have a very poor prognosis with median survival measured in months rather than years. It is a disease in great need of novel therapeutic approaches. Based on the encouraging results of our preclinical studies which demonstrate improved efficacy without added toxicity, the paradigm of delivering a novel oncolytic adenovirus via a neural stem cell line in combination with radiation and chemotherapy is well-suited for evaluation in newly diagnosed malignant gliomas. The standard-of-care allows application of virotherapy as neoadjuvant therapy and assessment of the cooperative effects with radiation/chemotherapy without altering the standard treatment.
NCT02655601
This is a Phase 2 study of newly diagnosed patients with high grade glioma (HGG) undergoing standard radiation therapy and temozolomide treatment. BMX-001 added to radiation therapy and temozolomide has the potential not only to benefit the survival of high grade glioma patients but also to protect against deterioration of cognition and impairment of quality of life. BMX-001 will be given subcutaneously first with a loading dose zero to four days prior to the start of chemoradiation and followed by twice a week doses at one-half of the loading dose for the duration of radiation therapy plus two weeks. Both safety and efficacy of BMX-001 will be evaluated. Impact on cognition will also be assessed. Eighty patients will be randomized to the treatment arm that will receive BMX-001 while undergoing chemoradiation and 80 patients randomized to receive chemoradiation alone. The sponsor hypothesizes that BMX-001 when added to standard radiation therapy and temozolomide will be safe at pharmacologically relevant doses in patients with newly diagnosed high grade glioma. The sponsor also hypothesizes that the addition of BMX-001 will positively impact the overall survival and improve objective measures of cognition in newly diagnosed high grade glioma patients.
NCT07074756
This clinical trial tests how well a digital treatment platform using a mobile application works for the delivery of home-based sequential therapy in patients with glioma. Access to specialized neuro-oncology care in the United States for patients with glioma is critically deficient. Care at centers with neuro-oncology specialists is associated with improved survival outcomes, yet many patients have limited access due to distance, disease-related disability, or lack of financial resources. The application provides patients continuous access to their care team in the home setting. A digital treatment platform may increase clinical trial participation and accelerate development of novel therapeutics while addressing a great health disparity in patients with glioma.
NCT06355908
This is a dose exploration clinical trial to assess the safety and feasibility of the IL13Ra2-targeted CAR-T in glioma.
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).
NCT03581292
This phase II trial studies how well veliparib, radiation therapy, and temozolomide work in treating patients with newly diagnosed malignant glioma without H3 K27M or BRAFV600 mutations. Poly adenosine diphosphate (ADP) ribose polymerases (PARPs) are proteins that help repair DNA mutations. PARP inhibitors, such as veliparib, can keep PARP from working, so tumor cells can't repair themselves, and they may stop growing. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving veliparib, radiation therapy, and temozolomide may work better in treating patients with newly diagnosed malignant glioma without H3 K27M or BRAFV600 mutations compared to radiation therapy and temozolomide alone.
NCT02208362
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of genetically modified T-cell immunotherapy in treating patients with malignant glioma that has come back (recurrent) or has not responded to therapy (refractory). A T cell is a type of immune cell that can recognize and kill abnormal cells in the body. T cells are taken from the patient's blood and a modified gene is placed into them in the laboratory and this may help them recognize and kill glioma cells. Genetically modified T-cells may also help the body build an immune response against the tumor cells.
NCT03749187
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of BGB-290 and temozolomide in treating adolescents and young adults with IDH1/2-mutant grade I-IV glioma that is newly diagnosed or has come back. BGB-290 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving BGB-290 and temozolomide may work better in treating adolescents and young adults with IDH1/2-mutant grade I-IV glioma.
NCT00589875
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and potential efficacy of CAN-2409 (also known / previously described as AdV-tk, GMCI) for malignant gliomas. The approach used an adenoviral vector (disabled virus) engineered to express the Herpes thymidine kinase gene (aglatimagene besadenovec, CAN-2409), followed by an antiherpetic prodrug, valacyclovir. CAN-2409 was injected into the resection bed after standard tumor surgery and valacyclovir pills were taken for 14 days. Standard radiation and chemotherapy were administered which have been shown to work cooperatively with CAN-2409 + prodrug to kill tumor cells. The hypothesis is that this combination therapy can be safely delivered and will lead to improvement in the clinical outcome for patients with newly diagnosed malignant gliomas, including glioblastoma multiforme (WHO grade IV) and anaplastic astrocytomas (WHO grade III).
NCT00006773
Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of bortezomib in treating patients who have recurrent glioma. Bortezomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth
