Phase 1 Study Evaluating VT1021 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors
This study is an an open-label Phase I trial of VT1021 in patients with advanced solid tumors. Patients must have recurrent or advanced cancer (i.e., solid tumors) for which standard therapy offers no curative potential.

Phase I/IIa Study of Concomitant Radiotherapy with Olaparib and Temozolomide in Unresectable High Grade Gliomas Patients
The Stupp protocol is the standard treatment of glioblastoma multiform (GBM) which prognosis remains poor. The non-dividing nature of normal brain cells provides an opportunity to enhance the therapeutic ratio by combining radiation with inhibitors of replication-specific DNA repair pathways such poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, thus inducing more cytotoxic effects of DNA-damage related to treatment modalities, including alkylating reagents like temozolomide (TMZ). Olaparib, a potent PARP inhibitor, overcomes apoptotic resistance and sensitizes GBM cells for death receptor-mediated apoptosis induced by TRAIL (Tumor necrosis factor-Related Apoptosis Inducing...

Phase I Study of APX005M in Pediatric Central Nervous System Tumors
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of APX005M in treating younger patients with primary malignant central nervous system tumor that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive), or newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma. APX005M can trigger activation of B cells, monocytes, and dendritic cells and stimulate cytokine release from lymphocytes and monocytes. APX005M can mediate a direct cytotoxic effect on CD40+ tumor cells.

Phase I Study of Olaparib and Temozolomide for Ewings Sarcoma or Rhabdoomyosarcoma
This research study is a Three arm Phase I clinical trial, which tests the safety of an investigational drug or combination of drugs and also tries to define the appropriate dose of the combination of investigational drugs to use for further studies. "Investigational" means that the combination of drugs is being studied. It also means that the FDA has not yet approved the combination of drugs for your type of cancer. Olaparib works by blocking the activity of a protein called poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) which is involved in DNA repair. Cancer cells rely on PARP to repair their DNA and enable them to continue dividing. Olaparib has been used in research studies with...

Ph I/II Study of NMS-03305293+TMZ in Adult Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma
Multicenter, open-label, single-arm Phase 1/2 study on the safety and efficacy of the combination of NMS-03305293 and temozolomide (TMZ) in adult patients with diffuse gliomas (Phase 1) and isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) wild type glioblastoma (Phase 2) at first relapse.

Pilot Study of a Metabolic Nutritional Therapy for the Management of Primary Brain Tumors
This study will look at the effects, good and/or bad, of treating primary brain cancers with diet therapy using an energy restricted ketogenic diet (ERKD) that uses food. An energy restricted ketogenic diet is a diet designed to keep blood sugars in the low range of normal while at the same time increasing the blood concentration of metabolic break down products called ketones. This diet is currently used to treat children with uncontrollable seizures. This diet is well tolerated by the children with minimal side effects reported after using the diet for years. - The main purpose of this study is to find out whether or not the energy restricted ketogenic diet will help...

Pivotal, Randomized, Open-label Study of Optune® (Tumor Treating Fields) Concomitant with RT & TMZ for the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed GBM
To test the effectiveness and safety of Optune® given concomitantly with radiation therapy (RT) and temozolomide (TMZ) in newly diagnosed GBM patients, compared to radiation therapy and temozolomide alone. In both arms, Optune® and maintenance temozolomide are continued following radiation therapy.

PVSRIPO in Recurrent Malignant Glioma
This is a phase 2 study of oncolytic polio/rhinovirus recombinant (PVSRIPO) in adult patients with recurrent World Health Organization (WHO) grade IV malignant glioma.

Radiation/Temozolomide and Immunotherapy With Daratumumab to Improve Antitumor Efficacy in Glioblastoma
TMZ is a standard therapy for GBM. The study will demonstrate that Daratumumab can collaborate with TMZ to enhance the cytotoxicity against GBM cells. Collectively, the preclinical data along with existing in vivo studies by others provides the rationale for therapeutic targeting of CD38 in GBM and its microenvironment. Daratumumab is commercially available, is safe and well tolerated when combined with alkylating chemotherapy, radiation therapy and has attained therapeutic CSF levels. Thus, the addition of Daratumumab to the frontline treatment regimen of GBM can potentially have a significant clinical benefit. Approximately 16 subjects will be enrolled in this trial. Up to 6...
