Phase I Trial of Intramural Injection of DTI-015 for Recurrent Malignant Gliomas Clinical Trials Information presented on Clinical Trials Search is not designed to be a substitute for proven healthcare advice, travels to or treatment by using a genuine medical doctor. We are not physicians. Always confer with your doctor on Phase I Trial of Intramural Injection of DTI-015 for Recurrent Malignant Gliomas conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Phase I Trial of Intramural Injection of DTI-015 for Recurrent Malignant Gliomas Clinical research trials and Phase I Trial of Intramural Injection of DTI-015 for Recurrent Malignant Gliomas healthcare trials take place in many of cities across the United States of America. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally evaluate the effectiveness of new drugs. The function of the studies / undertakings is to answer specific human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular means for mDs, government agencies, and private sector companies to find treatments for all forms of conditions, including Phase I Trial of Intramural Injection of DTI-015 for Recurrent Malignant Gliomas. Phase I Trial of Intramural Injection of DTI-015 for Recurrent Malignant Gliomas Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow for volunteers to access medical treatment alternatives before they are available to the masses. Many times the test subjects undergo treatment for without cost, and occasionally they are compensated for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Phase I Trial of Intramural Injection of DTI-015 for Recurrent Malignant Gliomas clinical trial. Test subjects oftentimes recieve the best healthcare possible for their Phase I Trial of Intramural Injection of DTI-015 for Recurrent Malignant Gliomas condition. Hazards are a reality, nonetheless, and might include additional or frequent doctor trips, healthcare hazards (perhaps life-jeopardizing), and/or the treatment being ineffective. Trials are federally regulated with rigid guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Phase I Trial of Intramural Injection of DTI-015 for Recurrent Malignant Gliomas
For Condition: Glioma,Brain Neoplasms
Status: Suspended
Sponsor(s): M.D. Anderson Cancer Center ,
Synopsis: This is a clinical research study of a new investigational treatment for cancer called "DTI-015" to be given by intratumoral injection. Intratumoral injection is when drug is injected directly into the tumor. This study will help doctors find out what is the best dose level for DTI-015 and if this treatment can shrink tumors without causing severe side effects. The effects of the drug on the patient's quality of life (how the patient feels and what the patient can do) and their mental functions (reasoning and thinking abilities) will also be studied.
Details:
Eligibility:
Study Type: Interventional, Treatment, Non-Randomized, Open Label, Uncontrolled, Single Group Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
Minimum Age/Maximum Age: 18 Years/75 Years
Genders: Both
Protocol Entry Criteria: Inclusion Criteria: - Histologic proof of recurrent previously irradiated supratentorial malignant gliomas including anaplastic astrocytoma, glioblastoma multiforme, anaplastic oligodendroglioma, or anaplastic ependymoma. - It must be judged that gross total resection of the patient's tumor is not possible or the patient must refuse open resection of tumor. The decision that the tumor cannot be totally resected will be made by and mutually agreed upon by the physician investigators in the study. - There must be a tumor volume of each tumor component greater than or equal to 0.5 and less than or equal to 15 cubic centimeters. - The patient must be undergoing a stereotactic biopsy for other clinical reasons than the injection of DTI-015. - The patient must have a Karnofsky functional status rating greater than or equal to 60. - The patient must be fully recovered from the acute effects of any prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy. - The patient must be able to read and fully understand the informed consent document and must sign the informed consent indicating that they are aware of the investigational nature of this study in keeping with the policies of this hospital. - The patient must be willing and able to comply with the protocol. - For a female patient of childbearing potential, the patient must not be pregnant as evidenced by a menses in the last 8 weeks or by a negative urine HCG pregnancy test. Exclusion Criteria: - Any radiotherapy or chemotherapy during four weeks prior to entering the study. - Nitrosoureas or mitomycin C during six weeks prior to entering the study. - Patients with active uncontrolled infection. - Serious liver or bone marrow disorder - specifically serum bilirubin >2.0 mg%, SGOT >2.5 times normal, SGPT >2.5 times normal, absolute neutrophil count <1500/mm3, platelet count <100,000/mm3. - Evidence of renal failure (blood creatinine >2.0 mg%, BUN >30 mg/dl or creatinine clearance >40 ml/min - Evidence of a bleeding diathesis or use of anticoagulant medications. - Unstable or severe intercurrent medical conditions. - For females: risk of pregnancy (i.e., unwillingness to use adequate protection to prevent pregnancy), breast feeding a baby during the study period, or lactation. - Tumors shaped into 3 or more components are excluded. Ovoid-shaped or spherical tumors are allowed. Central necrosis and/or central cystic areas are allowed as long as there is an enhancing rim with a thickness >5 mm. - Patients who have undergone a partial resection of tumor and who have a cavity inside the residual tumor are excluded. - Patients with tumors located in the following areas of the brain will be excluded: brainstem (pons or medulla), midbrain (mesencephalon), primary sensorimotor cortex in the dominant hemisphere, or within 1.5 cm of the optic chiasm, either optic nerve, or any other cranial nerve. - Patients with tumors extending into the ventricular system will also be excluded.
