OLIGODENDROGLIOMA

This study compares two radiation methods—proton beam and photon beam (IMRT)—in 120 people with slow-growing brain tumors (IDH-mutant gliomas). The goal is to see which better preserves memory and thinking over time. Participants are randomly assigned to one type of radiation and…

This study planned to test a two-part experimental treatment for newly diagnosed glioblastoma, a fast-growing brain cancer. The treatment combined a modified virus (Toca 511) designed to enter tumor cells and an extended-release antifungal drug (Toca FC) that the virus helps turn…

This early-phase trial tests an investigational drug called ABBV-706, alone or combined with other drugs, in about 288 adults with advanced solid tumors like small cell lung cancer, high-grade brain tumors, and neuroendocrine cancers. The main goals are to check safety, find the …

This early-phase trial is testing whether combining two drugs—vorasidenib and pembrolizumab—can help people with a specific type of brain tumor (IDH-1 mutant glioma) that has come back or is growing. About 60 participants will receive the drugs before and after surgery to remove …

This early-stage study tests a genetically engineered virus (rQNestin34.5v.2) that is injected directly into recurrent brain tumors to see if it is safe and what dose works best. About 62 adults with certain types of brain cancer that have come back or worsened are taking part. T…

This early-stage trial tests a new approach for children whose high-grade glioma has come back after standard treatments. It combines specially grown stem cells with an immunotherapy drug called nivolumab. The main goals are to see if the treatment is safe and possible to deliver…

This early study tests a new imaging technique called qOBM that may help brain surgeons see tumor edges more clearly during surgery. About 24 adults with certain brain tumors (glioblastoma, astrocytoma, or oligodendroglioma) will have the device used during their planned tumor re…

This study follows 71 glioma patients before and after radiation therapy to see how their thinking skills change. Researchers use special brain scans (RS-fMRI) to map which brain networks are most harmed by radiation. The goal is to learn which areas to avoid during treatment pla…
