  • MC230715 Pilot Study Of The Mechanistic Feedback From CNS Tumors With Latent Residual Disease To Guide Individualized Therapies Rochester, MN

    This early phase I trial tests the safety, side effects and how well medication combinations of dasatinib, quercetin, fisetin and temozolomide work in treating patients with glioma for which the patient has received treatment in the past (previously treated) and for tumor cells that remain after attempts to treat the tumor have been made (residual disease). Dasatinib is in a class of medications called tyrosine kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals tumor cells to multiply, which may help keep tumor cells from growing. Quercetin and fisetin are compounds found in plants. They have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and help remove senescent cells, older or damaged cells that have stopped dividing but don't die off as they should and build up in tissues over time. Senescent cells may cause inflammation or damage to nearby healthy cells. Temozolomide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell's deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill tumor cells and slow down or stop tumor growth. Giving medication combinations of dasatinib, quercetin, fisetin and temozolomide may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating patients with previously treated glioma with residual disease.
  • Multi-Center, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial Comparing Standard Of Care Adjuvant Temozolomide With Or Without 5-Aminolevulinic Acid (5-ALA) With Concomitant Low Intensity Diffuse Ultrasound (LIDU) Sonodynamic Therapy (SDT) System In Patients With Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma After Completion Of Chemoradiotherapy Rochester, MN The purpose of this research is to test an investigational device using ultrasound along with an investigational drug to see if it is useful in treating glioblastoma following standard of care therapy surgery and chemoradiation. This study is evaluating an experimental treatment for glioblastoma that uses an investigational drug (5-ALA) combined with a non-invasive ultrasound device (LIDU) to target tumor cells. Patients meeting the entry requirements to be in the study, will be equally randomly assigned to receive the study device plus the active study drug plus active ultrasound, or to a "sham" procedure where the ultrasound is not being activated and the study drug is a placebo (looks the same but does not contain active drug). Neither the patient or the investigator will know who is in the active group or not. Both groups will continue to receive the standard therapy of oral Temozolomide.
