Phase 1 Trial of D2C7-IT in Combination with 2141-V11 for Recurrent Malignant Glioma
This is a phase 1 study of an anti-CD40 monoclonal antibody (2141-V11) in combination with D2C7-IT for patients with recurrent World Health Organization (WHO) grade III or IV malignant glioma at the Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center (PRTBTC) at Duke.

Phase 2a Immune Modulation with Ultrasound for Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma
Brain tumor treatment is hampered by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). This barrier prevents drugs carried in the bloodstream from getting into the brain. If the BBB can be opened, making it temporarily more permeable, drugs may able to better reach the brain tumor. In this trial we will implant a novel device with 9 ultrasound emitters, allowing temporary and reversible opening of the BBB to maximize brain penetration of drugs that modulate the immune system. The device will be implanted after radiation is completed. Immune modulating drugs will be given every 3 weeks in conjunction with activation of the device to open the BBB. The objectives of this trial are to establish...

Phase II/III Trial of CCRT With or Without JP001 for Newly Diagnosed GBM
This is a multi-center, phase II/III, open-label, randomized, parallel and standard chemoradiation-controlled study where eligible subjects will be randomized at 1:1 ratio to receive control treatment or study treatment. The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the effect of add-on JP001 to standard chemoradiation in increasing overall survival (OS) on newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM) patients.

Phase I/II Study of Pazopanib+ Temozolomide in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma Multiforme
A phase I/II study of pazopanib in combination with temozolomide in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme after surgery and RT-CT (PAZOGLIO study)

Phase I Study of Oral ONC206 in Recurrent and Rare Primary Central Nervous System Neoplasms
The primary objective of this Phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation, and exploratory study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability profile (establish the maximum-tolerated dose) and evaluate the occurrence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) following single weekly or multiple-day weekly dose regimens of single-agent, oral ONC206 in patients with recurrent, primary central nervous system (CNS) neoplasms.

Physiological MRI for Precision Radiotherapy IDH-wildtype Glioblastoma
After surgery, a key step in treatment of patients diagnosed with glioblastoma (high grade brain tumour) is radiotherapy. The ideal clinical target volume (CTV) for radiotherapy treatment planning includes all tumour cells remaining after surgery. Currently, the GTV is delineated on conventional imaging techniques that are only visualizing macroscale structural changes due to the presence of a large number of tumour cells. After delineating these visible macroscale changes, the GTV is expanded in all directions with 1.5cm into visibly healthy tissue to account for microscale tumour invasion. This standard CTV therefore also contains healthy tissue that should not be receiving...

Pilot Trial for Treatment of Recurrent Glioblastoma
This will be a single-arm open-label prospective pilot feasibility trial recruiting 10 adult patients with recurrent glioblastoma who are assigned to receive the personalized study treatment based on the genetic profile of their recurrent GBM tumor resected at the time of surgery. It will be aimed to gather preliminary information on the study intervention and the feasibility of conducting a full-scale trial.

Preclinical Brain Tumor Models
Background: Primary or secondary brain tumors (metastases) remain associated with a very poor prognosis linked to significant therapeutic resistance. Thus, glioblastoma, which is the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor in adults, is associated with inevitable relapses within 7 to 10 months and median survival of approximately 12 to 14 months. At the same time, brain metastases are increasingly increasing following better systemic control of other metastatic sites and improvement in detection methods. However, they remain resistant to the latest therapeutic innovations such as immunotherapies or targeted therapies. In this context, innovative strategies are necessary...

Predictive Value of Progastrin Titer at Diagnosis and of Progastrin Kinetics During Treatment in Cancer Patients
Progastrin is a pro-hormone that, in physiological conditions, is maturated in gastrin in G cells of the stomach. The role of the gastrin is to stimulate the secretion of gastric acids during digestion. It is also important for the regulation of cell growth of the gastric mucosal. In a healthy person, progastrin is not detectable in the peripheral blood. However, progastrin is abnormally released in the blood of patients with different cancers (colorectal, gastric, ovarian, breast, cervix uterus, melanoma...) The gene GAST coding for progastrin is a direct target gene of the WNT/ß-catenin oncogenic pathway. The activation of this oncogenic pathway is an early event in cancer...
