166 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Approximately 90% of children with malignant brain tumors that have recurred or relapsed after receiving conventional therapy will die of disease. Despite this terrible and frustrating outcome, continued treatment of this population remains fundamental to improving cure rates. Studying this relapsed population will help unearth clues to why conventional therapy fails and how cancers continue to resist modern advances. Moreover, improvements in the treatment of this relapsed population will lead to improvements in upfront therapy and reduce the chance of relapse for all. Novel therapy and, more importantly, novel approaches are sorely needed. This trial proposes a new approach that evaluates rational combination therapies of novel agents based on tumor type and molecular characteristics of these diseases. The investigators hypothesize that the use of two predictably active drugs (a doublet) will increase the chance of clinical efficacy. The purpose of this trial is to perform a limited dose escalation study of multiple doublets to evaluate the safety and tolerability of these combinations followed by a small expansion cohort to detect preliminary efficacy. In addition, a more extensive and robust molecular analysis of all the participant samples will be performed as part of the trial such that we can refine the molecular classification and better inform on potential response to therapy. In this manner the tolerability of combinations can be evaluated on a small but relevant population and the chance of detecting antitumor activity is potentially increased. Furthermore, the goal of the complementary molecular characterization will be to eventually match the therapy with better predictive biomarkers. PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: * To determine the safety and tolerability and estimate the maximum tolerated dose/recommended phase 2 dose (MTD/RP2D) of combination treatment by stratum. * To characterize the pharmacokinetics of combination treatment by stratum. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: * To estimate the rate and duration of objective response and progression free survival (PFS) by stratum.
This is a Phase I clinical trial evaluating crenolanib (CP-868,596), an inhibitor of Platelet Derived Growth Factor Receptor (PDGFR)-kinase in children and young adults with newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) (Stratum A) or in recurrent, progressive or refractory High Grade Glioma (HGG) including DIPG (Stratum B). This study drug targets the most commonly amplified region of genome found in DIPG and pediatric high grade glioma (HGG) which encodes for the PDGF receptor kinase. An oral investigational agent crenolanib will be administered daily during and after local radiation therapy (RT) in Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma DIPG (Stratum A), or daily for children with recurrent/refractory HGG (Stratum B).
This is a single-arm open-label phase 1 dose escalation/expansion trial assessing the safety and efficacy of concurrent intrathecal azacitidine and intrathecal nivolumab in recurrent high-grade glioma.
Researchers will investigate the ability of Xevinapant to cross the blood-brain barrier and exert anti-tumor effects on rHGG through activation of apoptosis. Researchers hypothesize that oral administration of Xevinapant has acceptable safety and tolerability in patients with recurrent HGG and demonstrate pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effects in HGG tumors. To that end, Researchers will engage in a phase I "window of opportunity" translational clinical trial in patients undergoing a clinically-indicated craniotomy for resection of recurrent tumors to evaluate the impact of treatment on rHGG.
This study will administer the investigational drug, BDTX-1535 to eligible patients with recurrent high-grade glioma (HGG) and newly-diagnosed glioblastoma (nGBM). BDTX-1535 was designed to block a growth signal important to some cancers. BDTX-1535 is being tested in this study to see if it can be given safely to people who have tumors that can be dependent on that growth signal because of changes in a protein called EGFR. These gene changes are called amplifications, mutations, fusions or alterations and are found only in the tumors. The study design includes a Phase 0 component with PK/PD-trigger for participant enrollment into an Expansion Phase 1 component. The primary objective of the Phase 0 component is to evaluate the PK endpoints of BDTX-1535. The primary objective of the Phase 1 component is to establish the safe dose of BDTX-1535 to be used in participants with a specified treatment regimen, three of which include standard of care radiotherapy for nGBM participants.
The goal of this interventional study is to evaluate the efficacy of APG-157 in combination with Bevacizumab in subjects with recurrent high-grade glioma. The main questions the study aims to answer are: * Progression-free and overall survival of patients receiving this combination; * Quality of Life (QOL); and * Tumor response on imaging The participants will take APG-157 daily by dissolving two pastilles in their mouth at around breakfast, lunch and dinner time (total of six pastilles per day). The pastilles dissolve in the mouth. The participants will continue to receive Bevacizumab as standard of care.

This study is a clinical trial to assess the efficacy and confirm the safety of intratumoral inoculation of G207 (an experimental virus therapy) combined with a single 5 Gy dose of radiation in recurrent/progressive pediatric high-grade gliomas
This trial is an open-label, multicenter, Phase 0 trial that will enroll up to 20 participants with recurrent high-grade glioma with FGFR1 K656E or FGFR3 K650E mutation or FGFR3-TACC3 translocation which are scheduled for resection. In the lead-in cohort, a total of 20 participants will be enrolled into the proposed phase 0 clinical trial. Participants will be administered infigratinib prior to surgical resection of their tumor.
This phase I trial studies best dose and side effects of oncolytic adenovirus DNX-2401 in treating patients with high-grade glioma that has come back (recurrent). Oncolytic adenovirus DNX-2401 is made from the common cold virus that has been changed in the laboratory to make it less likely to cause an infection (such as a cold). The virus is also changed to target brain cancer cells and attack them.
In the proposed trial, patients will be administered ribociclib+everolimus prior to surgical resection of their tumor. Recurrent GBM patients will be randomized into one of the three time-interval cohorts for the first two dose levels. In the lead-in dose escalation study, the first six subjects (lead-in) will receive ribociclib 400 mg and everolimus 2.5 mg orally-administered in 5 daily doses with the last dose. If one or less patient experiences DLT among the 6 patients, this regimen with ribociclib 400 mg and everolimus 2.5mg will be considered safe and we will continue with the dose escalation phase of the study up to Level 3. Four dose escalation levels: Level 0: ribociclib 400mg and everolimus 2.5 Level 1: ribociclib 600mg and everolimus 2.5mg Level 2: ribociclib 600mg and everolimus 5mg Level 3: ribociclib 600mg and everolimus 10mg
Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a potentially powerful diagnostic tool for the management of brain cancer and other conditions in which the blood-brain barrier is compromised. This trial studies how well precise DCE MRI works in diagnosing participants with high grade glioma that has come back or melanoma that has spread to the brain. The specially-tailored acquisition and reconstruction (STAR) DCE MRI could provide improved assessment of brain tumor status and response to therapy.
Phase 2, open-label study of nab-sirolimus in patients with recurrent high grade glioma following prior therapy and patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. nab-Sirolimus was administered as single agent or in combination therapies.
This proposal is for a pilot study comparing volumes of 18F-DOPA-PET avidity with contrast enhancement and T2 FLAIR on MRI. Investigators then plan to compare patterns of failure with target volumes, pre-treatment MRI changes and pre-treatment 18F-DOPA-PET.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ubidecarenone injectable nanosuspension (BPM31510) in treating patients with high-grade glioma (anaplastic astrocytoma or glioblastoma) that has come back and have been previously treated with bevacizumab. BPM31510 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ascorbic acid when given together with bevacizumab in treating patients with high grade glioma that has come back (recurrent). Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Ascorbic acid contains ingredients that may prevent or slow the growth of high grade glioma. Giving bevacizumab and ascorbic acid together may work better in treating patients with high grade glioma.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, and tolerability of nivolumab, ipilimumab, and bevacizumab given in combination with hypofractionated stereotactic re-irradiation of recurrent high grade gliomas.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of terameprocol in treating patients with high-grade glioma that has come back. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as terameprocol, 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.
This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label phase 2/3 study of Toca 511 and Toca FC versus standard of care that comprises Investigator's choice of single agent chemotherapy (lomustine or temozolomide) or bevacizumab administered to subjects undergoing resection for first or second recurrence (including this recurrence) of GBM or AA. Subjects meeting all of the inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria will be randomized prior to surgery in a 1:1 ratio to receive either Toca 511 and Toca FC (Experimental arm, Arm T) or control treatment with one option of standard of care (Arm SOC). Stratification will be done by IDH1 mutation status. A second stratification factor is based on the patient's Karnofsky Performance Score (KPS) (70-80 vs 90-100). Further, to account for potential differences in treatment choices for the control arm in regions, the trial will be stratified by geographical region during the randomization process.

The purpose of this study is to see if the addition of the investigation drug called pembrolizumab (Keytruda®) to radiation therapy and bevacizumab (Avastin®) is safe and can help with controlling the growth of tumors, in participants with recurrent high grade glioma.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of carboxylesterase-expressing allogeneic neural stem cells when given together with irinotecan hydrochloride in treating patients with high-grade gliomas that have come back. Placing genetically modified neural stem cells into brain tumor cells may make the tumor more sensitive to irinotecan hydrochloride. Irinotecan hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving carboxylesterase-expressing allogeneic neural stem cells and irinotecan hydrochloride may be a better treatment for high-grade gliomas.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of alisertib when combined with fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery in treating patients with high-grade gliomas that have returned after previous treatment with radiation therapy (recurrent). Alisertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking an enzyme needed for the cells to divide. Radiation therapy uses high energy x rays to kill tumor cells. Stereotactic radiosurgery uses special positioning equipment to send a single high dose of radiation directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue. Delivering stereotactic radiosurgery over multiple doses (fractionation) may cause more damage to tumor tissue than normal tissue while maintaining the advantage of its accuracy.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ascorbic acid when given together with temozolomide in treating patients with high-grade glioma that has come back. 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. Ascorbic acid contains ingredients that may prevent or slow the growth of high-grade gliomas. Giving temozolomide with ascorbic acid may kill more tumor cells.
This pilot phase I clinical trial studies how well lapatinib ditosylate before surgery works in treating patients with high-grade glioma that has come back after a period of time during which the tumor could not be detected. Lapatinib ditosylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of genetically modified stem cells when given together with irinotecan hydrochloride in treating patients with recurrent high-grade gliomas. Irinotecan hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Placing a gene that has been created in the laboratory into neural stem cells and injecting it into the brain may help irinotecan hydrochloride kill more tumor cells once it reaches the brain.
