Standard therapy for glioblastoma includes surgery, radiotherapy, and temozolomide. This Phase 3 trial evaluates the addition of an autologous tumor lysate-pulsed dendritic cell vaccine (DCVax®-L) to standard newly diagnosed glioblastoma.After surgery chemoradiotherapy, patients were randomized (2:1) receive temozolomide plus DCVax-L (n = 232) or placebo 99). Following recurrence, all allowed DCVax-L, without unblinding. The primary endpoint was progression free survival (PFS); secondary...
The success of tissue engineering applications can potentially be dramatically improved with the addition adjuncts that increase proliferation and differentiation progenitor or stem cells. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has recently emerged as a potential biologic tool to treat acute chronic tendon disorders. regenerative PRP is based on release growth factors occurs platelet rupture. Its autologous nature gives it significant advantage in applications. To test whether may useful specifically...
Activation of TLR9 by direct injection unmethylated CpG nucleotides into a tumor can induce therapeutic immune response; however, Tregs eventually inhibit the antitumor response and thereby limit power cancer immunotherapies. In tumor-bearing mice, we found that within preferentially express cell surface markers CTLA-4 OX40. We show intratumoral coinjection anti–CTLA-4 anti-OX40 together with depleted tumor-infiltrating Tregs. This in situ immunomodulation, which was performed low doses...

Glioblastoma is the most lethal primary brain cancer. Clinical outcomes for glioblastoma remain poor, and new treatments are needed.To investigate whether adding autologous tumor lysate-loaded dendritic cell vaccine (DCVax-L) to standard of care (SOC) extends survival among patients with glioblastoma.This phase 3, prospective, externally controlled nonrandomized trial compared overall (OS) in newly diagnosed (nGBM) recurrent (rGBM) treated DCVax-L plus SOC vs contemporaneous matched external...
Abstract Purpose: Abegrin is a monoclonal antibody to human integrin αVβ3, cell adhesion molecule highly expressed on actively angiogenic endothelium and glioblastoma multiforme tumor cells. The purpose of this study was evaluate the efficacy novel 90Y-Abegrin radioimmunotherapeutic agent in murine xenograft models with noninvasive vivo molecular imaging modalities. Experimental Design: A s.c. U87MG model used determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD), biodistribution, response, 90Y-Abegrin....
OBJECTIVE: Neoangiogenesis is a prerequisite for the full phenotypic expression and growth of malignant tumor mass. It believed to be triggered by tissue hypoxia involves proliferation sprouting preexisting vessels recruitment endothelial progenitor cells from bone marrow. METHODS: A chimeric mouse model was used examine contribution these neovasculature brain tumor. T-cell knockout (RAG/KO5.2) mice were irradiated lethally, their marrow repopulated with depleted green fluorescent protein...

<div>AbstractPurpose:<p>Preclinical data motivate clinical evaluation of inhibitors MAPK-interacting kinases 1 and 2 (MNK1/2). We conducted a phase 1b trial to study target engagement safety tomivosertib, MNK1/2 inhibitor, alone in combination with paclitaxel.</p>Patients Methods:<p>Eligible patients had metastatic breast cancer resistant standard-of-care treatments. Biopsies were obtained at baseline during treatment then tomivosertib was continued the addition...
