This randomized phase III trial studies how well radiation therapy works compared with observation in treating patients with newly diagnosed grade II meningioma that has been completely removed by surgery. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors.
The focus of this study will be to investigate whether Regorafenib demonstrates antitumor activity against recurrent meningiomas. Small trials and case series suggest clinical relevant activity of several VEGF inhibitors such as sunitinib, bevacizumab and valatinib reporting a 6m-PFS rate of 42-64%. Indeed, VEGF and VEGF receptors (VEGFR) are regularly …
This phase II trial studies how well vismodegib, focal adhesion kinase (FAK) inhibitor GSK2256098, and capivasertib work in treating patients with meningioma that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive). Vismodegib, FAK inhibitor GSK2256098, capivasertib, and abemaciclib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes …
This is a Pilot/Phase I clinical study of hyperpolarized 13C (HP 13C) pyruvate injection that includes the acquisition of magnetic resonance (MR) data performed on participants with meningioma to evaluate metabolism and aid in the non-invasive characterization of aggressive tumor behavior
A Phase II Study of Cabozantinib for Patients with Recurrent or Progressive Meningioma
While surgical resection remains the primary treatment approach for symptomatic or growing meningiomas, radiotherapy represents an auspicious alternative in patients with meningiomas not safely amenable to surgery. Biopsies are often omitted in light of potential postoperative neurological deficits, resulting in a lack of histological grading and (molecular) risk stratification. In …
Meningioma are slow growing and frequently occurring intracranial tumors, responsible for 33% of all asymptomatic intracranial tumors and 13-26% of all symptomatic primary brain tumors. The 10-year survival rate is 72%. A variety of treatment options is available for symptomatic meningioma including surgical removal with or without radiotherapy or radiotherapy …
Meningiomas are known to be the most frequent intracranial neoplasms and account for approx. 25-33% of all intracranial tumours.Targeted radionuclide therapy with radiolabelled somatostatin analogues, also called Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT), has proven to be an effective treatment in metastatic intestinal neuroendocrine tumours and is currently used in advanced, …
High-risk meningiomas always require postsurgical radiation treatment. Recent evidence has shown that increased radiation therapy dose may be associated with increased intracranial control of disease. In order to better define the volume of radiation treatment, the addition of PET imaging with somatostatin receptor tracers adds additional information compared to encephalon …
Aggressive growing meningiomas resistant to multiple surgeries and radiotherapy constitute an unmet pharmaceutical need in neurooncology, leading to a fatal issue within a few months. Grade II-III meningiomas progression-free survival (PFS) 6 is at 10-15%. Median PFS grade III meningioma is approximate 3 years. Alpelisib is a well-tolerated Phosphoinositide 3-kinase …
