Safety and Efficacy of Talampanel in Glioblastoma Multiforme
The purpose of this study is to estimate overall survival for adult patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme treated with talampanel during radiation therapy with concurrent and adjuvant temozolomide. This study will also determine the toxicity and toxicity rate of talampanel for this therapeutic regimen.

Safety and Efficacy of Transient Opening of the Blood-brain Barrier (BBB) With the SonoCloud-9
Recurrent glioblastoma (GBM) is a disease with high unmet clinical need. The standard of care for patients with GBM includes surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Despite this aggressive treatment, the overall median survival of patients with GBM remains at 15-20 months. In more than 95% of cases, tumor recurrence is observed within 2 cm to 3 cm of the resection cavity within 4-7 months after initial treatments. One of the main causes of recurrence is the inability of chemotherapies to enter the brain from the systemic circulation due to the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The BBB is unique to cerebral blood vessels and blocks most drugs from entering the brain in sufficient...

Safety and Efficacy of Trans Sodium Crocetinate (TSC) With Radiation and Temozolomide in Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma
This open-label study evaluated the safety and efficacy of TSC when dosed concomitantly with the standard of care (radiation therapy and temozolomide) for newly diagnosed glioblastoma in adults. All patients received TSC in the study. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of TSC on survival and tumor response in patients with GBM while establishing an acceptable patient risk profile.

Safety and Efficacy Study of Panzem NCD to Treat Glioblastoma
This single-center, open-label, phase 2 study will evaluate the anti-tumor activity, as well as the safety and pharmacokinetics, of Panzem (2-methoxyestradiol, 2ME2) Nanocrystal Colloidal Dispersion (NCD) administered in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM)

Safety and Efficacy Study of REOLYSIN® in the Treatment of Recurrent Malignant Gliomas
RATIONALE: Oncolytic viruses such as reovirus (REOLYSIN®) can specifically kill tumor cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed. PURPOSE: This phase I/II study investigates the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and anti-tumor effect of intralesional administration of REOLYSIN® therapeutic reovirus in patients with malignant glioma with evaluable disease which is progressive/recurrent despite surgery and/or radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy. (The phase I portion of the study is currently enrolling patients.)

Safety and Efficacy Study of SL-701, a Glioma-Associated Antigen Vaccine To Treat Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of SL-701 as a treatment for recurrent glioblastoma multiform (GBM).

Safety and Efficacy Study of Tarceva, Temodar, and Radiation Therapy in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Brain Tumors
The patients eligible for this study are those diagnosed with glioblastoma or gliosarcoma who have recently undergone surgery and who have not been treated with radiation therapy or chemotherapy. This is called a phase II study. The purpose of the phase II study is to determine how effective Tarceva plus Temodar plus radiation is in controlling the growth of glioblastoma and gliosarcoma. All patients will receive radiation and Temodar plus Tarceva. There is no "placebo" drug.

Safety and Efficacy Study to Treat Recurrent Grade 4 Malignant Brain Tumors
Immunotoxin therapy may be effective in treating malignant glioma. Immunotoxins can locate tumor cells and kill them without harming normal cells.

Safety and Feasibility of MR-guided Laser Thermal Ablation of Brain Lesions
This will be an open-label, pilot, exploratory, single centre clinical investigation. This is an early feasibility single arm study. No formal hypothesis is proposed. A total of up to 15 evaluable subjects receiving a non-radical ablation is planned. The safety and feasibility outcomes will be measured directly post-treatment, 48h and 3 months post-treatment. A minimal invasive neurosurgical approach with a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-based stereotactic guidance system will be utilized for the planning, navigation, intracranial access, placement and confirmation of the Laser applicator prior to ablation.
