The purpose of this study is to determine the ability of letrozole to penetrate the blood brain barrier and concentrate in gliomas.
An open, non-randomized, multicenter, single-arm dose-escalation design, phase 1 trial to study the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of JYP0322 in patients with ROS1+ locally advanced/metastatic solid tumors .
This open-label, multicenter, randomized phase II study will evaluate the usage of osimertinib alone for brain metastases compared to SRS and osimertinib in patients with newly diagnosed, treatment naiive EGFR positive lung cancer.
This study aimed to evaluate the use of SHR-A1811 in HER2-expression Advanced Breast Cancer patients with brain metastases.
This study is a Phase I/II study evaluating the safety and effectiveness of focused radiation therapy (radiosurgery) together with olaparib, followed by immunotherapy, for patients with brain metastases from triple negative or BRCA-mutated breast cancers. This study will have a Phase I portion in which subjects will be enrolled based on 3+3 dose escalation rules. Three dose levels of olaparib will be studied. Cycle 1 of study treatment will consist of Olaparib given twice daily concurrently with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). Olaparib will start one week prior to SRS and continue during and following SRS (1-5 fractions) for up...
This laboratory study is looking at stored tumor samples in young patients with brain tumors. Studying samples of tumor tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer.
Background: Diffuse gliomas are tumors that affect the brain and spinal cord. Gliomas that develop in people with certain gene mutations (IDH1 or IDH2) are especially aggressive. Better treatments are needed. Objective: To see if a study drug (zotiraciclib) is effective in people with recurrent diffuse gliomas who have IDH1 or IDH2 mutations. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with diffuse gliomas that returned after treatment. They must also have mutations in the IDH1 or IDH2 genes. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood and urine tests. ...
Primary brain tumors are typically treated by surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, either individually or in combination. Present therapies are inadequate, as evidenced by the low 5-year survival rate for brain cancer patients, with median survival at approximately 12 months. Glioma is the most common form of primary brain cancer, afflicting approximately 7,000 patients in the United States each year. These highly malignant cancers remain a significant unmet clinical need in oncology. GBM often has a high expression of EFGR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor), which is associated with poor prognosis. Several methods of...

Primary spinal cord tumors constitute 2-4% of all central nervous system neoplasms; they are classfied as extradural, intradural extramedullary (IDEM: 65%), and intramedullary The most commonly seen IDEM tumors are schwannomas, neurofibromas, and meningiomas. [1] The less frequently encountered IDEM tumors include ependymomas, lipomas, hemangiomas, metastatic deposits, paragangliomas, nerve sheath myxomas, and vascular tumors.[2] Spinal cord tumors can cause different signs and symptoms, especially as tumors grow. The tumors may affect spinal cord or the nerve roots, blood vessels or bones of spine. Signs and symptoms may include:...
