Introduction Tumor treating fields (TTFields) are low-intensity (1-3 v/m) intermediate frequency (200 khz for GBM) alternating fields that disrupt cell division. The treatment is increasingly used as a supplementary modality for patients with glioblastoma (GBM). Recent randomized clinical studies
Background:
- Zotiraciclib (TG02) is a pyrimidine-based multi-kinase inhibitor that has been shown to have inhibitory effects on CDKs, Janus Kinase 2 (JAK2) and Fm-like tyrosine kinase 3 (Flt3). It is orally administered and penetrates blood brain barrier (BBB). There is clinical experience in using
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
Despite cisplatin chemoradiation, 40-50% of women with locally advanced cervical cancer will die from their disease. The evaluation of new chemoradiation regimens have since included cisplatin to further build on its current success. In one year, Nelfinavir will be off patent and become a potential
Study Design: Open label, phase I - II trial. Phase I trial: TMZ will be administered in a fixed schedule as follows:
TMZ
- 50 mg/m2/day divided in three daily doses (approx. 17 mg/m2/8 hours) on days 1-7, 9-21, and 23-28.
- 100 mg/m2 in a morning single dose on days 8 and 22

The primary objective of this study is to use 6-month progression-free survival to assess the efficacy of the combination of radiation therapy, temozolomide and Avastin followed by Avastin, temozolomide, and topotecan in the treatment of grade IV malignant glioma patients following surgical
The Study Drugs:
Irinotecan is designed to stop cancer cells from making new DNA (the genetic material of cells). This may cause cancer cells to die.
Bevacizumab is designed to prevent or slow down the growth of cancer cells by blocking the growth of blood vessels that supply nutrients necessary for
This is a phase II study of the combination of Gliadel followed by Avastin and irinotecan in grade IV malignant glioma patients. The study will have survival and toxicity endpoints. Subjects will be identified by the investigator as those patients who have histologically documented grade IV
Objectives of study are to determine activity of combo of Irinotecan + Temozolomide & to further characterize any toxicity associated w combo of Irinotecan + Temozolomide. Temozolomide administered orally at 200mg/m2 in fasting state 1hr prior to CPT-11 infusion. Temozolomide administered on day 1
2 separate strata accrued independently of each other: Stratum 1-patients with Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM). Stratum 2-patients with Anaplastic Glioma [anaplastic astrocytoma (AA), anaplastic oligodendroglioma (AO), anaplastic mixed (AA and AO)] .
