Individualized Systems Medicine Functional Profiling for Recurrent Glioblastoma
A study to determine the feasibility and safety of individualized cancer stem cell targeted therapy based on high-throughput functional profiling of FDA/EMA-approved drugs in patients with GBM that has recurred or progressed following standards-of-care (RT, TMZ).

Intensity-Modulated Stereotactic Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Grade II-IV Glioma
This phase II trial studies how well intensity-modulated stereotactic radiation therapy works in treating patients with grade II-IV glioma. Stereotactic radiosurgery is a specialized radiation therapy that delivers a single, high dose of radiation directly to the tumor and may cause less damage to normal tissue.

International Cooperative Phase III Trial of the HIT-HGG Study Group (HIT-HGG-2013)
The HIT-HGG-2013 trial offers an innovative high-quality diagnostics and science program for children and adolescents >3 years, suffering from one of the following types of high grade gliomas: 1. glioblastoma WHO grade IV (GBM) 2. diffuse midlineglioma histone 3 K27M mutated WHO grade IV (DMG) 3. anaplastic astrocytoma WHO grade III (AA) 4. diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) 5. gliomatosis cerebri (GC) For 1.-3. diagnosis has to be confirmed by neuropathological survey, for 4. and 5. diagnosis has to be confirmed by neuroradiological survey. In addition to standard treatment (radiotherapy...

Intraarterial Carboplatin + Caelyx Compared to Intraarterial Carboplatin + Etoposide Phosphate for Progressing Glioblastoma
The standard of care for glioblastoma (GBM) treatment involves maximal resection followed by concomitant radiotherapy and temozolomide. Progression-free survival (PFS) with this treatment is only 6.9 months and relapse is inevitable. At relapse, there is no consensus regarding the optimal therapeutic strategy. The rationale behind the fact that limited chemotherapy agents are available in the treatment of malignant gliomas is related to the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which impedes drug entry to the brain. Intraarterial (IA) chemotherapy allows to circumvent this. Using IA delivery of carboplatin, can produce responses in 70% of...

Intracavitary Photodynamic Therapy as an Adjuvant to Resection of Glioblastoma or Gliosarcoma Using IV Photobac®
This study is the first step in testing the hypothesis that adding Photobac® Photodynamic Therapy to surgical removal of a glioblastoma or gliosarcoma will be both safe and effective. Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) combines light and a photosensitizer. PDT has been used to treat a variety of cancers with varying degrees of success. For the past thirty years Photolitec has been working to develop a treatment for glioblastoma or gliosarcoma using light and a photosensitizer. Photolitec's scientists were looking for a photosensitizer that: 1. has no significant systemic toxicity apart from some temporary skin photosensitivity, ...

Intraoperative Radiotherapy in Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma Multiforme
INTRAGO II resembles a multicentric, prospective, randomized, 2-arm, open-label clinical phase III trial which tests if the median progression-free survival (PFS) of patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) can be improved by the addition of intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) to standard radiochemotherapy.

Investigator-Initiated Study of Imipramine Hydrochloride and Lomustine in Recurrent Glioblastoma
This study is designed as a single center, prospective, open label, single-arm therapeutic trial with both surgical and non-surgical cohorts.

IRD at Admission Predicts Survival of GBM Patients - a Prospective Pilot Study
Glioblastomas (GBM) are the most common primary malignant brain tumor with a very high recurrence rate and an average survival of 14 months. Identifying an imaging biomarker to predict recurrence is critical. Using a special MRI technique called diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), a recent retrospective study described isolated restricted diffusion (IRD) foci. The presence of IRD was found in 40% of patients with GBM on index imaging and was associated with longer survival. IRD foci are not currently identified as having a tumor focus and are not included in treatment strategies and guidelines. These findings need to be confirmed in a...

Irinotecan And Bevacizumab Combined With Re-radiotherapy in Recurrent Glioblastoma
This is a phase I study to observe the safety and efficacy of irinotecan and bevacizumab combined with re-radiotherapy in the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma. The study will provide a higher level of clinical evidence-based evidence for the clinical treatment of recurrent GBM, and fill the guidelines for the treatment of recurrent GBM.
