Efficacy and Safety of TMZ Plus 6-MP in the Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma
Glioblastoma, the most prevalent malignant tumor in the central nervous system, is characterized by high invasiveness and a propensity to recur, contributing to a relatively elevated mortality rate. Patients diagnosed with high-grade glioblastomas typically experience a median survival period of less than 14 months. Presently, the standard treatment for glioblastoma involves surgical resection combined with postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy, with postoperative chemotherapy playing a pivotal role in enhancing patient prognosis. Temozolomide (TMZ), a cutting-edge oral alkylating agent known for its advantageous properties, including easy traversal of the blood-brain...

Efineptakin Alfa and Pembrolizumab for the Treatment of Recurrent Glioblastoma
This phase II trial tests the safety and side effects of efineptakin alfa and pembrolizumab in treating patients with glioblastoma that has come back (recurrent). Efineptakin alfa is an immunotherapy drug that works by helping the immune system fight tumor cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving efineptakin alfa and pembrolizumab may kill more tumor cells in patients with recurrent glioblastoma.

Engineered NK Cells Containing Deleted TGF-BetaR2 and NR3C1 for the Treatment of Recurrent Glioblastoma
This phase I trial is to find out the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of engineered natural killer (NK) cells containing deleted TGF-betaR2 and NR3C1 (cord blood [CB]-NK-TGF-betaR2-/NR3C1-) in treating patients with glioblastoma that has come back (recurrent). CB-NK-TGF-betaR2-/NR3C1- cells are genetically changed immune cells that may help to control the disease.

Escalated Dose Proton Therapy Within the Multimodality Treatment of Glioblastoma Patients
The goal of this phase 1 dose finding study is to to assess the clinical tolerability and safety of escalated dose proton therapy in glioblastoma patients treated with multimodality treatment, according to treatment volume. The main questions it aims to answer are: - what is the maximum tolerated proton dose in glioblastoma patients? - is the maximum tolerated proton dose in glioblastoma patients dependent on treatment volume? - what is the recommended phase 2 proton dose in glioblastoma patients? Patients will be asked to undergo radiotherapy to step-wise escalated doses using proton therapy as part of their multimodality treatment. Patients will be...

ETAPA I: Peptide-based Tumor Associated Antigen Vaccine in GBM
This is a phase 1b study of P30-linked EphA2, CMV pp65, and survivin vaccination (collectively called the P30-EPS vaccine) in HLA-A*0201 positive patients with a newly diagnosed, unmethylated, and untreated World Health Organization (WHO) grade IV malignant glioma.

Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of ADCV01 As an Add-On Treatment for Primary Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) Patients
This study is designed with open-label and randomized parallel group to evaluate the efficacy and safety of autologous dendritic cell vaccination (ADCV01) as an add-on treatment for primary glioblastoma multiforme

Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Atorvastatin Combined With Temozolomide in the Treatment of Glioblastoma
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the primary intracranial malignant tumor with the highest morbidity and mortality, and the 5-year survival rate is less than 10%. The number of primary diagnostic patients and deaths of GBM in China ranks first in the world every year, which seriously threatens people's life and health. At present, the clinical treatment strategy of maximum surgical resection combined with concurrent chemo- and radio-therapy and TTF treatment is still not satisfactory, and the median survival time of GBM patients is only 14.4 months. Statins inhibit cholesterol production with few side effects and are widely used for cholesterol control in patients with hyperlipidemia. In...

Evaluate the Role of Anthracycline After Radio Therapy in Patients With Glioblastoma (pGBM).
Glioblastoma (GBM) and diffuse intrinsic bridge gliomas (DIPG) only the most aggressive forms of cancer, and their prognosis remains bleak. Currently, the standard of treatment is TMZ concomitant with radiotherapy, and, at the end of combined treatment, as adjuvant therapy. In vitro and in vivo experimental studies have suggested that anthracyclines are effective antineoplastics for the treatment of gliomas. In patients with solid tumors treated with anthracyclines, continuous infusion administration compared with bolus administration has been shown to provide a better safety profile especially with regard to cardiotoxicity. Based on this evidence, this study aims to evaluate the...

Evaluate the Safety and Preliminary Efficacy of the Combination of NaviFUS System With Re-irradiation for rGBM Patients
This is an open label, single arm, prospective, and pilot study. Eligible patients will be enrolled after acquiring the signed informed consent and then will receive the treatment of re-RT combined with FUS (FUS + re-RT) on an outpatient basis. The re-RT in FUS + re-RT treatment will include fractioned stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) treatment (FUS + SRS) or conventional radiotherapy (cRT) treatment (FUS + cRT). The treatment of SRS or cRT treatment given to patients is determined by the investigator depending on the volume and location of the treatment region.

Evaluating the Expression Levels of MicroRNA-10b in Patients With Gliomas
MicroRNAs (miRNA) are molecular biomarkers that post-transcriptionally control target genes. Deregulated miRNA expression has been observed in diverse cancers. In high grade gliomas, known as glioblastomas, the investigators have identified an oncogenic miRNA, miRNA-10b (mir-10b) that is expressed at higher levels in glioblastomas than in normal brain tissue. This study tests the hypothesis that in primary glioma samples mir-10b expression patterns will serve as a prognostic and diagnostic marker. This study will also characterize the phenotypic and genotypic diversity of glioma subclasses. Furthermore, considering the critical function of anti-mir-10b in blocking...
