Stem Cell Analysis, Omics (Including Immunomics) and Artificial Intelligence in Glioblastoma
The study aims at: 1. Perform a multilayer analysis relying on tight integration of in-depth multi-omics approaches with clinical data to discover immune markers, with attention to age and sex differences, predicting prognosis and defining key life/environmental elements, to guide AI-driven personalised treatments and ensure improved care and QoL of glioblastoma patients. 2. To deepen glioblastoma knowledge through the study of glioblastoma stem cell cultures and to assess the sensitivity of glioblastoma stem cell cultures to a number of chemotherapeutics in different experimental...

Study of Biologic Tumor and Plasma Biomarkers of Response to TTFields in Patients Treated for Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma
This trial is a translational, open-label, monocentric prospective study of 80 patients aiming to study resistance mechanisms as well as biomarkers of resistance or sensitivity to TTFields. The study will be conducted on a population of patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma treated with radio-chemotherapy followed by TTFields in the context of either routine care or a clinical trial. In this study, the Optune® system (battery operated device which delivers TTFields to the brain) will not be under investigation. For each included patient, blood samples will be collected during baseline visit (before initiation...

Study of Olutasidenib and Temozolomide in HGG
The goal of this study is to determine the efficacy of the study drug olutasidenib to treat newly diagnosed pediatric and young adult patients with a high-grade glioma (HGG) harboring an IDH1 mutation. The main question the study aims to answer is whether the combination of olutasidenib and temozolomide (TMZ) can prolong the life of patients diagnosed with an IDH-mutant HGG.

Study of Ribociclib and Everolimus in HGG and DIPG
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.

Sub-lobectomy for IDH Wild-type and TERT Promoter Mutant Glioblastoma
Glioblastoma is recognized as the most common and aggressive form of primary malignant brain tumor, with treatment options that are limited and prognosis that is extremely poor, showing median progression-free survival of 12 months and median overall survival of less than 18 months. Surgical resection plays a critical role in the treatment, with the extent of resection significantly impacting patient outcomes. Historical approaches to surgical resection have evolved, moving from radical strategies to more conservative ones that aim to preserve normal brain function while removing the tumor as completely as possible. Recent studies...

Targeted Pediatric High-Grade Glioma Therapy
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.

Testing the Combination of Anti-cancer Drugs Tiragolumab and Atezolizumab to Improve Outcomes for Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma
This phase II trial compares the safety, side effects and effectiveness of atezolizumab with tiragolumab to atezolizumab alone in treating patients with glioblastoma that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Glioblastoma is the most common primary brain cancer in adults and despite aggressive treatment, it is nearly always fatal. Currently, there are limited effective treatment options in patients that have recurrence. Immunotherapy has been shown to be effective in other types of cancer and may be an appealing potential treatment option for recurrent glioblastoma. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as...

The Effectiveness of HP and TMZ Synergism on Adult Recurrence GBM
The study of investigators indicated that TMZ can up-regulate dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) expression, and mediates Ferroptosis inhibition and chemoresistance of GBM. The clinical data also proved that the DRD2 expression in recurrent GBM is significantly higher than that in primary GBM. Moreover, the DRD2 antagonist haloperidol can attenuate the above function of DRD2, and increase the sensitivity of GBM to the TMZ by inducing fatal autophagy and ferroptosis. In xenograft mice, the combined usage of haloperidol and Temozolomide (TMZ) can significantly inhibit tumor growth and increase overall survival. The investigators' findings ...

Tislelizumab (One Anti-PD-1 Antibody) Plus Low-dose Bevacizumab for Bevacizumab Refractory Recurrent Glioblastoma
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Tislelizumab (one anti-PD-1 antibody same as nivolumab approved in China) in combination with bevacizumab in patients with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma (GBM) who have progressed on bevacizumab with or without PTEN or TERT gene mutations.
