OBJECTIVE
A Phase II study of CPT-11 in adults with recurrent, temozolomide (TMZ)-refractory, 1p19q co-deleted, anaplastic oligodendroglioma (AO) with a primary objective of determining 6-month progression free survival (PFS).
BACKGROUND
There is no standard therapy for alkylator-resistant
OBJECTIVE
A prospective Phase I study designed to establish the maximum tolerated dose and secondarily evaluate response rate to CPT-11 in patients with recurrent oligodendrogliomas (oligos) on anticonvulsant drugs (AEDs).
BACKGROUND
Oligos, which constitute 1-2% for all adult brain tumors, are
Despite improvements in neurosurgical and neuroradiotherapeutic techniques, children with malignant brain tumors have a dismal prognosis. In an attempt to improve the efficacy of cytotoxic therapy, dose intensification of effective chemotherapeutic agents followed by autologous bone marrow
Fourteen patients with malignant gliomas were entered on a phase II study of 5-fluorouracil 300-370 mg/m2 plus folinic acid 200 mg/m2 x 5 days q4 weeks. To be eligible, patients could not have received more than 1 prior chemotherapy regimen. A single patient with a recurrent oligodendroglioma
Background: Central nervous system (CNS) malignancies are the most common solid tumors among children, and novel therapies are needed to help improve survival. Pomalidomide is an immunomodulatory agent that displays antiangiogenic and
In preclinical studies, BCNU, or 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea, plus CPT-11 (irinotecan) exhibits schedule-dependent, synergistic activity against malignant glioma (MG). We previously established the maximum tolerated dose of CPT-11 when administered for 4 consecutive weeks in combination
BACKGROUND
We evaluated the efficacy of imatinib plus hydroxyurea in patients with progressive/recurrent low-grade glioma.
METHODS
A total of 64 patients with recurrent/progressive low-grade glioma were enrolled in this single-center study that stratified patients into astrocytoma and
Programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression has been reported in up to 61% of high grade gliomas (HGG). The purpose of this study was to describe safety and efficacy of PD-1 inhibition in patients with refractory HGGs.
This Institutional Review Board approved single center retrospective study
OBJECTIVE
In the current study, we sought to determine whether the addition of DFMO (alpha-difluoromethyl ornithine; eflornithine), an inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase, to a nitrosourea-based therapy procarbazine, 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-cyclohexyl-1-nitrosourea, vincristine (PCV) would be more
