Brief Summary
This phase III trial compares temporally-modulated pulsed radiation therapy versus standard radiation therapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed, IDH wildtype, MGMT-unmethylated glioblastoma. After completion of surgery, the standard of care for glioblastoma is radiation therapy. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. For older and frail patients, standard treatment also includes the chemotherapy drug temozolomide. Temozolomide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell’s DNA and may kill tumor cells and slow down or stop tumor growth. Approximately 70% of glioblastoma patients have MGMT-unmethylated status. MGMT unmethylated tumors are less likely to respond to temozolomide chemotherapy, so there is more reliance on radiation therapy to kill the tumor cells. Recent clinical trials studying new therapies for MGMT-unmethylated glioblastoma have failed to improve outcomes over temozolomide. These recent studies also indicate that 80% of patients experience a decline in memory and thinking function after treatment. TMPRT differs from standard radiation therapy by delivering the same amount of radiation dose in 10-13 pulses with 3-minute breaks between pulses. TMPRT with temozolomide may work better than standard radiation therapy with temozolomide in increasing survival, as well as improving memory and thinking function in patients with newly diagnosed, IDH wildtype, MGMT-unmethylated glioblastoma.
Protocol Interventions
Procedure: Biospecimen Collection, Procedure: Computed Tomography, Procedure: Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Other: Questionnaire Administration, Drug: Temozolomide, Radiation: Temporally-modulated Pulsed Radiation Therapy
Brief Summary
This is a phase IB/II, open-label study evaluating CTX-009 as monotherapy and in combination with CTX-471. The study evaluates the safety and efficacy of the monotherapy and the combination in patients with recurrent glioblastoma. The study tests the hypothesis that treatment with CTX-009 alone or in combination with CTX-471 will lead to enhanced tumor control and prolongation of overall survival of patients with recurrent glioblastoma.
CTX-009 expands on existing anti-angiogenic therapies by ablating key compensatory and resistance mechanisms to bevacizumab, CTX-471 restores local immune reactivity through activation of costimulatory immune mediators. Combination of these two agents may further impair tumor proliferation through synergistic effects on the tumor microenvironment
Protocol Interventions
Drug: CTX-009, Drug: CTX-471
Brief Summary
The FRONTIER Study is a prospective, interventional, single-arm, multi-center, study to assess the safety and technical feasibility of TheraSphere GBM in patients with recurrent GBM.
Protocol Interventions
Device: TheraSphere GBM
Brief Summary
This is a 3-part study. The purpose of Part 1 of the study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics of safusidenib in participants with recurrent/progressive IDH1-mutant World Health Organization (WHO) Grade 2 or Grade 3 glioma.
The purpose of Part 2 will be to evaluate the efficacy of maintenance safusidenib treatment versus placebo in IDH1-mutant Grade 2 or Grade 3 astrocytoma with high-risk features or IDH1-mutant Grade 4 astrocytoma, following standard-of-care radiation or chemoradiation and adjuvant temozolomide. Part 2 will be randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled.
The purpose of Part 3 will be to evaluate the efficacy of safusidenib in participants with residual or recurrent IDH1-mutant Grade 3 oligodendroglioma who have received surgery as their only treatment. Part 3 will be an open-label single-arm cohort and will enroll participants concurrently with Part 2.
Protocol Interventions
Drug: safusidenib
Brief Summary
This phase II trial compares the safety, side effects and effectiveness of anti-lag-3 (relatlimab) and anti-PD-1 blockade (nivolumab) to standard of care lomustine for the treatment of patients with glioblastoma that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Relatlimab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body’s immune system attack the tumor, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Lomustine is a chemotherapy drug and in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It damages the cell’s deoxyribonucleic acid and may kill tumor cells. Giving relatlimab and nivolumab may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective compared to standard of care lomustine in treating patients with recurrent glioblastoma.
Protocol Interventions
Procedure: Biopsy Procedure, Procedure: Biospecimen Collection, Drug: Lomustine, Procedure: Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Procedure: Surgical Procedure
Brief Summary
Preclinical data have demonstrated the combination of azeliragon, a RAGE inhibitor, with radiation therapy (RT) can effectively reduce immune-suppressive myeloid cells and restore T-cell activation to improve tumor control in murine glioma models. Ongoing clinical studies of azeliragon with RT alone and RT plus temozolomide (TMZ) to treat patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM) have demonstrated safety and tolerability. The purpose of this window-of-opportunity study is to validate that the combination of azeliragon with RT and TMZ would modulate immune-suppressive myeloid and T cells in the tumor microenvironment in patients with GBM.
Protocol Interventions
Drug: Azeliragon, Drug: Temozolomide, Radiation: Radiation therapy, Procedure: Surgery or LITT
Brief Summary
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).
Protocol Interventions
Device: Optune® device, Drug: Temozolomide, Drug: Placebo
Brief Summary
This phase II trial tests how well retifanlimab with bevacizumab and hypofractionated radiotherapy, compared to bevacizumab and hypofractionated radiotherapy alone, works in treating patients with glioblastoma that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as retifanlimab, may help the body’s immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Bevacizumab is in a class of medications called antiangiogenic agents. It works by stopping the formation of blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to tumor. This may slow the growth and spread of tumor. Hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may kill more tumor cells and have fewer side effects. Giving retifanlimab with bevacizumab and hypofractionated radiotherapy may work better in treating patients with recurrent glioblastoma than bevacizumab and hypofractionated radiotherapy alone.
Protocol Interventions
Biological: Bevacizumab, Procedure: Biospecimen Collection, Procedure: Computed Tomography, Other: Electronic Health Record Review, Radiation: Hypofractionated Radiation Therapy, Procedure: Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Brief Summary
This phase II trial tests how well erdafitinib works in controlling IDH-wild type (WT), FGFR-TACC gene fusion positive gliomas that have come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) or that are growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive). Erdafitinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal FGFR protein that signals tumor cells to multiply. This may help keep tumor cells from growing and may kill them. Giving erdafitinib may help to slow the growth of, or to shrink, tumor cells in patients with recurrent or progressive IDH-wild type gliomas with FGFR-TACC gene fusion.
Protocol Interventions
Procedure: Biospecimen Collection, Drug: Erdafitinib, Procedure: Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Procedure: Optical Coherence Tomography
