There are 17 clinical trials
This partially randomized phase III trial is studying maintenance chemotherapy to see how well it works compared to observation following induction chemotherapy and radiation therapy in treating young patients with newly diagnosed ependymoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vincristine sulfate, carboplatin, cyclophosphamide, etoposide, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Giving chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells and allow doctors to save the part of the body where the cancer started.

To evaluate biologic prognostic factors in childhood ependymoma by studying molecular groups as defined by deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation profiling and immunohistochemistry, copy number variants to identify 1q gain in posterior fossa ependymomas, CDKN2A loss (homozygous deletion) in supratentorial ependymomas and specific genetic alterations such as RELA fusions, YAP1 fusions and the H3 K27M mutation on initial tumor samples and correlating these data with clinical outcome. --- K27M ---
Description: Using Kaplan-Meier curves to estimate the observed EFS for the two randomization arms (post-radiation maintenance arm and post-radiation observation only arm). Log rank tests will be used to compare the observed EFS between the two randomization arms. Stratified log rank test will also be performed to examine the treatment difference with consideration and adjustment for the randomization groups. If outcome data on ACNS0121 or this study suggest a difference or a different pattern in outcome between the 2 randomization strata, the primary analyses will be supplemented with log-rank tests performed separately in each stratum in order not to confound the overall conclusions of the study with respect to the effect of maintenance therapy.

Measure: Telomere maintenance Time: Up to 5 yearsThis phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of adavosertib when given together with local radiation therapy in treating children with newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas. Adavosertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, gamma rays, neutrons, protons, or other sources to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving adavosertib with local radiation therapy may work better than local radiation therapy alone in treating diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas.

In this research study the investigators want to learn more about the effects, both good and bad, when the study drug Ribociclib is given after radiation therapy. The investigators are asking people to be in this research study that have been newly diagnosed with a high grade glioma, and the tumor has been screened for the Rb1 protein, and have recently finished radiation therapy. Patients with a DIPG or a Bi-thalamic high grade glioma do not need to have tumor tissue screened for the Rb1 protein but do need to have finished radiation therapy. Tumor cells grow and divide quickly. In normal cells, there are proteins called cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK 4 and 6) that control cell division. Another protein Rb1 also controls cell division and works to stop cells from dividing so they do not become cancer cells. But in cancer, the CDK 4 and 6 proteins are out of control making the cells divide and grow quickly. The study drug, ribociclib stops the CDK 4 and 6 proteins. When the CDK 4 and 6 proteins are stopped, the normal Rb1 protein can now work to slow cell growth. For patients with HGG, to be in this study tumor tissue must have a normal Rb1 protein. The researchers think that if the study drug is given soon after radiation therapy, it may help improve the effect of the radiation in stopping the tumor from growing. The study drug, Ribociclib is considered investigational as it has not yet been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration. The study drug has been tested in children and adults with cancer in prior research studies.

Time: 48 monthsDoctors and other medical scientists want learn about the biology of DIPG/DMG and to develop better ways to diagnose and treat patients with DIPG/DMG. To do this, they need more information about the characteristics of DIPG/DMG tumors. Therefore, they want to establish a central location for clinical information and tumor tissue collected from DIPG/DMG patients. The purposes of this study are: - To enroll patients diagnosed with DIPG/DMG in the International DIPG/DMG Registry and Repository. - To provide a central location for clinical information, scans, and tissue samples from patients with DIPG/DMG enrolled in the registry. - To collect tissue samples in order to study how DIPG/DMG works on the molecular level. Researchers may use the tissue samples to study molecules such as proteins and DNA. Proteins are needed for the body to function properly and DNA is the molecule that carries our genetic information. Other researchers will be able to use the stored samples in the future to learn more about DIPG/DMG. The information researchers get from the research studies will be kept in the registry along with the clinical information. - To help investigators around the world to work together to make more consistent diagnosis and better design of future research studies. We hope this will lead to better treatments for DIPG/DMG in the future.

The HIT-HGG-2013 trial offers an innovative high-quality diagnostics and science program for children and adolescents >3 years, suffering from one of the following types of high grade gliomas: 1. glioblastoma WHO grade IV (GBM) 2. diffuse midlineglioma histone 3 K27M mutated WHO grade IV (DMG) 3. anaplastic astrocytoma WHO grade III (AA) 4. diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) 5. gliomatosis cerebri (GC) For 1.-3. diagnosis has to be confirmed by neuropathological survey, for 4. and 5. diagnosis has to be confirmed by neuroradiological survey. In addition to standard treatment (radiotherapy and temozolomide chemotherapy) the effects of two further drugs, which have been applied to millions of children and adolescents in other indications, will be compared to each other. The aim of the trial will be to investigate whether these drugs may increase the effects of radio- and chemotherapy, resulting in a better survival of the treated patients. One of these additional drugs will be valproic acid, traditionally used for treatment of seizure disorder. The other drug will be Chloroquin, a well-established drug for Malaria treatment. Recently, scientific studies provided evidence for anti-tumoral effects of both drugs: Valproat seems to be a so-called histondeacetylase inhibitor (HDAC inhibitor), controlling important genetic processes of tumor growth. Chloroquin is an autophagy inhibitor. It prevents the shutting-down of tumor cell metabolism, a strategy to ensure survival of the whole tumor by developing a resistance against radiation and antineoplastic agents. Studies in cell culture, animals and first clinical trials in adults as well provided evidence for efficacy of valproic acid and chloroquine in the treatment of glioblastoma. Due to this we hope children and adolescents suffering from GBM, DMG, AA, DIPG und GC will benefit from the treatment, too. As common for clinical trials, the treatment of the patients will be settled in a randomized manner to ensure impartiality of the investigators. One aim of the HIT-HGG-2013 trial will be to compare the effects of Valproat and Chloroquin to each other. Additionally, the results will be compared with data of the HIT-HGG-2007 trial (children and adolescents with same diseases, only treated with simultaneous temozolomide radiochemotherapy).

Measure: Overall response rate Time: Through study completion, an average of 1 yearThis is a multicenter, open-label, five arm, dose escalation, phase I study of oral ONC201 in pediatric patients with newly diagnosed Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) and recurrent/refractory H3 K27M gliomas. Arm A will define the RP2D for single agent ONC201 in pediatric patients with glioma who are positive for the H3 K27M mutation (positive testing in CLIA laboratory) and have completed at least one line of prior therapy. This will allow for recurrent patients and also patients who have not yet recurred, but have completed radiation and will inevitably recur based on prior clinical experience and the literature. Arm B will define the RP2D for ONC201 in combination with radiation in pediatric patients with newly diagnosed DIPG. Arm C will determine intratumoral drug concentrations and biomarker expression in pediatric patients with midline gliomas. Arm D will determine H3 K27M DNA levels and drug concentrations in the CSF of pediatric H3 K27M-mutant glioma patients. Arm E will determine the RP2D for single agent ONC201 administered as a liquid formulation in Ora-Sweet to patients with DIPG and/or H3 K27M glioma. All patients must be 2-12 weeks from completion of first-line radiation.

Description: Determination of recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) as a single agent or in combination with radiation
Measure: RP2D Time: 28 daysThis phase II trial studies how well veliparib, radiation therapy, and temozolomide work in treating patients with newly diagnosed malignant glioma without H3 K27M or BRAFV600 mutations. Poly adenosine diphosphate (ADP) ribose polymerases (PARPs) are proteins that help repair DNA mutations. PARP inhibitors, such as veliparib, can keep PARP from working, so tumor cells can't repair themselves, and they may stop growing. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving veliparib, radiation therapy, and temozolomide may work better in treating patients with newly diagnosed malignant glioma without H3 K27M or BRAFV600 mutations compared to radiation therapy and temozolomide alone.

The purpose of this first-in-pediatrics study is to examine the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of GDC-0084 and to estimate its maximum tolerated dose (MTD) when administered to pediatric patients with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) or other diffuse midline H3 K27M-mutant gliomas after they have received radiation therapy (RT). GDC-0084 is a brain-penetrant inhibitor of a growth-promoting cell signaling pathway that is dysregulated in the majority of diffuse midline glioma tumor cells. This study is also designed to enable a preliminary assessment of the antitumor activity of single-agent GDC-0084, in the hope of enabling rational combination therapy with systemic therapy and/or radiation therapy (RT) in this patient population, which is in desperate need of therapeutic advances. Primary Objectives 1.

Description: The MTD is empirically defined as the highest dose level at which six patients have been treated with at most one patient experiencing a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and the next higher dose level has been determined to be too toxic. The MTD estimate will not be available if the lowest dose level studied is too toxic or the highest dose level studied is considered safe. In the latter case, the highest studied safe dose may be considered as the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). The MTD estimation will be limited to evaluable patients and toxicity assessments from course 1 (28 days).
Measure: Estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of GDC-0084 after standard-of-care radiation therapy (RT) Time: 1 month after start of GDC-0084 treatmentDescription: Adverse event data will be summarized in tables by dose level.
Measure: Incidence of adverse events at least possibly associated with GDC-0084 after RT by stratum Time: Up to 2 years after start of GDC-0084 treatmentDescription: GDC-0084 area under the curve (AUC0-∞) is estimated based on course 1 day 1 (C1D1) PK samples, and AUC0-24 based on course 1 day 28 (C1D28) PK samples.
Measure: Pharmacokinetics of GDC-0084 by stratum Time: GDC-0084 treatment course 1 days 1 and 28Description: The best overall response is the best response recorded between the start of GDC-0084 treatment and the earliest of initiation of alternative therapy or disease progression/recurrence. Best responses include complete response (CR), partial response (PR), and stable disease (SD). The best response is unknown if the patient does not qualify for a best response of progressive disease and if all objective statuses after the first determination and before progression are unknown.
Measure: Rate of best overall response by stratum Time: Up to 1 year after completion of GDC-0084 treatmentDescription: The duration of best overall response is measured from the time the measurement criteria are met for CR, PR, or SD (whichever is recorded first) until the first day on which recurrent or progressive disease is objectively documented.
Measure: Duration of best overall response by stratum Time: Up to 1 year after completion of GDC-0084 treatmentDescription: Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined from the time of diagnosis until disease progression or until death from any cause for patients who experience an event and until the date of last follow-up for those who are alive and progression free at the time of analysis. PFS is estimated by Kaplan-Meier approach and median PFS is reported.
Measure: Progression-free survival for patients treated with GDC-0084 after RT Time: Up to 3 years from diagnosisDescription: Overall survival (OS) is defined from the time of diagnosis until death from any cause for patients who experience an event and until the date of last follow-up for those who are alive at the time of analysis.

Measure: Overall survival for patients treated with GDC-0084 after RT Time: Up to 3 years from diagnosisThis phase II trial studies how well the combination of dabrafenib and trametinib works after radiation therapy in children and young adults with high grade glioma who have a genetic change called BRAF V600 mutation. Radiation therapy uses high energy rays to kill tumor cells and reduce the size of tumors. Dabrafenib and trametinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking BRAF and MEK, respectively, which are enzymes that tumor cells need for their growth. Giving dabrafenib with trametinib after radiation therapy may work better than treatments used in the past in patients with newly-diagnosed BRAF V600-mutant high-grade glioma.

If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required - Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive patients will be ineligible if HIV therapy regimen has not been stable for at least 4 weeks or there is intent to change the regimen within 8 weeks following enrollment, or if they are severely immunocompromised - Patients with known hepatitis B or C are not eligible - Patients with any clinically significant unrelated systemic illness (serious infectious or significant cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic or other organ dysfunction), which in the opinion of the investigator would interfere with the study procedures or results - Patients with other factors that increase the risk of QT prolongation or arrhythmic events (e.g., heart failure, hypokalemia, family history of long QT interval syndrome) including heart failure that meets New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II or above are excluded Inclusion Criteria: - Subjects must have histologically confirmed diagnosis of a LGG (World Health Organization [WHO] grade I-II) that is recurrent or progressive after prior treatment (biologic, chemotherapy or radiation therapy) - Patients who have had surgery alone are not eligible - Patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) are eligible but must have available tissue per study requirements NF status will be collected - Patients with spinal cord primaries or disseminated disease are eligible - Patients with a known K27M mutation are considered by current WHO as grade IV and are ineligible for this study - For enrollment, snap frozen tissue (150 mg) or 10 unstained 10 um formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) slides for comprehensive genomic testing or results of prior testing is required - If clinical comprehensive testing has already been performed, the requirement for submission of tissue may be waived after discussion and review of results with study chairs - Patients must have evaluable disease - Prior therapy: Patients must have received prior therapy other than surgery and must have fully recovered from the acute toxic effects of all prior chemotherapy, biologics, immunotherapy, or radiotherapy prior to entering this study - Myelosuppressive chemotherapy: Patients must have received their last dose of known myelosuppressive anticancer chemotherapy at least three weeks prior to study registration or at least six weeks if they had received nitrosourea. --- K27M ---
Description: We will employ the Bayesian optimal interval (BOIN) design to find the MTD for both continuous and intermittent dosing schedules. The BOIN design is implemented in a simple way similar to the traditional 3+3 design, but is more flexible and possesses superior operating characteristics that are comparable to those of the more complex model-based designs, such as the continual reassessment method (CRM).
Measure: Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of trametinib in combination with everolimus for both continuous and intermittent dosing schedules Time: Up to 28 daysDescription: Toxicities will be graded based on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) V5 .0 and followed for 30 days after last treatment or until resolution or returned to baseline values.
Measure: Incidence of adverse events for both continuous and intermittent dosing schedules Time: Up to 30 days after the last day of treatmentDescription: Any treatment related adverse event during the first cycle of therapy that leads to a dose reduction or results in delay of treatment > 7 days or which results in the permanent cessation of therapy will be considered dose limiting.
Measure: Dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) of the combination for both continuous and intermittent dosing schedules Time: Up to 28 daysDescription: The RP2D rate is selected based on isotonic regression as specified in Liu and Yuan (2015). This computation is implemented by the shiny app "BOIN" available at http://www.trialdesign.org. Specifically, select as the RP2D the dose for which the isotonic estimate of the toxicity rate is closest to the target toxicity rate.
Measure: Recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) Time: Up to 28 daysDescription: Plasma trametinib and everolimus concentration-time data will be analyzed using a classic non-compartmental approach and/or population-based compartmental methods using non-linear mixed effects modeling. Individual pharmacokinetic parameters of interest after single and repeated doses (i.e., maximum plasma concentration Cmax from 0 to 24h will be calculated from the pharmacokinetic model. Trametinib and everolimus pharmacokinetics after single dose will be compared to trametinib and everolimus pharmacokinetics after repeated doses.
Measure: Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of trametinib and everolimus Time: Up to 5 yearsDescription: Plasma trametinib and everolimus concentration-time data will be analyzed using a classic non-compartmental approach and/or population-based compartmental methods using non-linear mixed effects modeling. Individual pharmacokinetic parameters of interest after single and repeated doses (i.e., area under the curve from 0 to 24h will be calculated from the pharmacokinetic model. Trametinib and everolimus pharmacokinetics after single dose will be compared to trametinib and everolimus pharmacokinetics after repeated doses.
Measure: Area Under the Curve (AUC) of trametinib and everolimus Time: Up to 5 years
