Glioblastoma Clinical Trials

The goal of this Phase 3 clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of niraparib versus temozolomide (TMZ) in adult participants with newly-diagnosed, MGMT unmethylated glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does niraparib improve progression-free survival (PFS) compared to TMZ? Does niraparib improve overall survival (OS) compared to TMZ? Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment arms: niraparib or TMZ. * study drug (Niraparib) or * comparator drug (Temozolomide - which is the standard approved treatment for MGMT unmethylated glioblastoma). The study medication will be taken daily while receiving standard of care radiation therapy (RT) for 6-7 weeks. Participants may continue to take the niraparib or TMZ adjuvantly as long as the cancer does not get worse or completion of 6 cycles of treatment (TMZ). A total of 450 participants will be enrolled in the study. Participants' tasks will include: * Complete study visits as scheduled * Complete a diary to record study medication Read Less

The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety of the experimental drug, CUE-102, and establish the recommended dose of CUE-102 for participants with Recurrent Glioblastoma (GBM). The name of the study drug involved in this study is: -CUE-102 (a type of fusion protein) Read Less

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. Read Less

The goal of this study is to determine the efficacy of the study drugs ribociclib and everolimus to treat pediatric and young adult patients newly diagnosed with a high-grade glioma (HGG), including DIPG, that have genetic changes in pathways (cell cycle, PI3K/mTOR) that these drugs target. The main question the study aims to answer is whether the combination of ribociclib and everolimus can prolong the life of patients diagnosed with HGG, including DIPG. Read Less

This trial studies whether a customized video intervention can help to reduce anxiety in brain cancer patients undergoing radiation treatment and their caregivers. A customized neuro-imaging referenced symptom video that describes symptoms and side effects specific to the patients' tumor may result in an early and sustained reduction in anxiety and distress during and after radiation treatment, thereby improving quality of life.

This is a multicenter, two-arm, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of Optune® (Tumor Treating Fields at 200 kHz) together with maintenance Temozolomide (TMZ) chemotherapy agent and pembrolizumab compared to Optune® together with maintenance TMZ and placebo in newly diagnosed Glioblastoma (GBM) patients. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the Overall Survival (OS). Read Less

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and feasibility of recording brain activity within and around high-grade glioma tumors at the time of surgery. A small biopsy will be taken at the sites of the recordings. Read Less

This phase II trial studies how well temozolomide and radiation therapy work in treating patients with IDH wildtype historically lower grade gliomas or non-histological molecular glioblastomas. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. 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. The goal of this clinical research study is to compare receiving new radiation therapy doses and volumes to the prior standard treatment for patients with historically grade II or grade III IDH wild-type gliomas, which may now be referred to as IDH wildtype molecular glioblastomas at some institutions. Receiving temozolomide in combination with radiation therapy may also help to control the disease. Read Less

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 Phase 1 of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose and the recommended Phase 2 dose of ivonescimab that can be given to patients who have recurrent glioblastoma. The goal of Phase 2 of this clinical research study is to learn if the recommended Phase 2 dose of ivonescimab found in Phase 1 can help to control the disease. Read Less

The brain is protected from any toxic or inflammatory molecule by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). This physical barrier is located at the level of the blood vessel walls. Because of these barrier properties, the blood vessels are also impermeable to the passage of therapeutic molecules from the blood to the brain. The development of effective treatments against glioblastoma is thus limited due to the BBB that prevents most drugs injected in the bloodstream from getting into brain tissue where the tumour is seated. The SonoCloud-9 (SC9) is an investigational device using ultrasound technology and specially developed to open the BBB in the area of and surrounding the tumour. The transient opening of the BBB allows more drugs to reach the brain tumour tissue. Carboplatin is a chemotherapy that is approved to treat different cancer types alone or in combination with other drugs, and has been used in the treatment of glioblastoma. Despite its proven efficacy in the laboratory on glioblastoma cells, carboplatin does not readily cross the BBB in humans. A clinical trial has shown that in combination with the SonoCloud-9, more carboplatin can reach the brain tumour tissue. The objective of the proposed trial is to show that the association - carboplatin with the SonoCloud-9 - will increase efficacy of the drug in patients with recurrent glioblastoma. Read Less
