Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive type of brain tumor arising from glial cells accounting for 52% of all parenchymal brain cancer cases and 20% of all intracranial tumors. GBM has pronounced mitotic activity, substantial tendency toward neoangiogenesis (microvascular proliferation),
Primary Objectives:
1. Phase I: To determine the optimal timing for combining LITT and pembrolizumab in patients with rGBM:
• To determine the feasibility, safety, tolerability and side effect profiles for combining LITT and pembrolizumab at various time points pre-LITT vs. post-LITT (Phase I).
2.
Background:
- Primary gliomas are an incurable disease in spite of aggressive multimodality therapy consisting of craniotomy, irradiation, and chemotherapy. Therapeutic options for patients with recurrent glioma are limited, and there is an unmet need to identify more effective agents.
- LB100, a
Individuals who carry certain germline TP53 gene mutations are highly susceptible to cancer and are likely to develop any one, or many, cancer types during their lifetimes. Prevention strategies and early tumor detection strategies are crucial for such individuals. It has been shown by Villani et
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase 2 dose (MTD/RP2D) of daily oral MLN0128 (TORC1/2 inhibitor INK128) when administered with bevacizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors including recurrent glioblastoma (GBM).
II. To evaluate the overall safety
Background:
In vivo experiments have documented the ability of vandetanib (ZD6474) to inhibit tumor growth in various preclinical tumor models. Given the pronounced neovasculature associated with malignant gliomas, and abundant published data demonstrating the dependence of glioma growth on the
The investigators have demonstrated previously that the calcium channel antagonists (CCAs) verapamil, nifedipine, and diltiazem can block in vitro and in vivo meningioma growth at clinically relevant doses (Jensen, Lee et al. 1995; Jensen, Petr et al. 2000; Jensen and Wurster 2001). However, only
The high-grade malignant brain tumors, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and anaplastic astrocytoma (AA), comprise the majority of all primary brain tumors in adults. This group of tumors also exhibits the most aggressive behavior, resulting in median overall survival durations of only 9-12 months for
