Glioma-related epilepsy (GRE) is a very common symptom in patients with diffuse gliomas. Approximately 60% of patients with low-grade gliomas (LGGs) and 40-64% of patients with high-grade gliomas presented with GRE at the onset. Although beneficial for the control of GRE, the overall therapeutic
Primary brain tumors in adults are less common than metastatic tumors. The most frequent are glioblastoma multiforme, metastases, anaplastic astrocytoma, meningioma, pituitary tumors and vestibular schwannoma. 70% of the tumors in adults are supratentorial. The most infratentorial tumors are
Background: Gliomas are primitive brain tumors frequently associated with epilepsy. In a significant number of these patients epilepsy is resistant to antiepileptic drugs. There are currently no recommendations for the management of these drug-resistant epilepsies associated with glioma. In
The protocol will assess the need for AED prophylaxis during the post-operative period in patients undergoing neurosurgical procedure for a suspected diagnosis of glioma (WHO grade I-IV) and brain metastasis. Patients (n=116) will be consented and randomized at their pre-operative assessment, either
1. Abstract Epilepsy affects a significant number of children in the United States. The majority of patients achieve control of their seizures by conventional treatment strategies including medications. However, one third of patients do not achieve satisfactory seizure control with medications
Diffuse low-grade gliomas (DLGG) (or WHO grade II gliomas, Louis et al., 2007) are rare tumors, with an incidence estimated at 1/105 person-year (Ostrom et al., 2015). They affect young people in their thirties or forties (Capelle et al., 2013). DLGG are characterized by a continuous growth and an
Indication:
First-line treatment of high grade gliomas, diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, and gliomatosis cerebri in paediatric patients < 18 years of age.
Background:
Based on published results regarding the potential therapeutic benefit of adult and pediatric high grade glioma patients receiving

Currently, treatment of glioma patients with a specific anti-epileptic drug (AED) mainly depends on the physicians' preference, as there is no robust evidence from randomized controlled trials supporting the use of one specific anticonvulsant above the other in glioma patients.
Levetiracetam and
Primary Objective To determine the safety and feasibility of reducing the time interval between LITT and the start of chemoradiation to ≤ 7 days.
The primary endpoint (binary) for safety/feasibility will be defined as the occurrence of one or more of the following within each patient during a window
BACKGROUND Radiation Necrosis: Stereotactic radiosurgery has become integral in treatment of brain tumors and arteriovenous malformations (AVM). In up to 10% of cases, this can lead to radiation necrosis (RN) with significant surrounding vasogenic edema and mass effect. Medical treatment for RN
This is a Phase 2 single-arm study to assess the efficacy of perampanel as an adjunctive anti-epileptic drug (AED) in patients with primary glioma that are presenting refractory partial onset seizure activity (defined as 3 or more seizures in a 28-day period). In this study, patients will be started
Malignant gliomas are the most common type of brain tumor in adults. They are the second leading cause of cancer mortality in people under the age of 35 and the fourth leading cause in those under the age of 54. Standard therapy for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) includes surgery followed by
