The purpose of a clinical trial is to determine the most effective and safest treatment for a disease. Clinical trial evaluation is a key step to translating research into new medicines that can provide better outcomes for patients. The performance of clinical trials is a vital component of U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s drug approval process, without which advances in therapeutics for brain tumor patients would not be possible. Often the lengthiest aspect of the drug approval process is finding people to participate in trials. The Clinical Trial Finder is intended to help raise awareness and increase participation in clinical trials to facilitate brain tumor research and accelerate the development of new drugs and treatments for patients.

A National Registry on Chinese Patients With Lymphangioleiomyomatosis
Pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), a disease characterized by diffuse cystic changes in the lung, is a rare disorder that affects almost exclusively women. The main objectives of this study are to accurately evaluate the prevalence of LAM, the status of disease, the diagnosis and treatment, the quality of care, and the health related outcomes in China.

A Phase IV Study of Safety and Efficacy of Everolimus in Taiwanese Patients With Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Who Have Renal Angiomyolipoma (TSC-AML)
The purpose of this prospective study is to assess the safety and efficacy of everolimus in Taiwanese patients with renal angiomyolipoma (AML) associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) . Only patients who fulfil the local reimbursement criteria of everolimus for TSC-AML will be included in this study.

Assessing Changes in Multi-parametric MRI in MS Patients Taking Clemastine Fumarate as a Myelin Repair Therapy
The clinical trial is intended to assess for clinical evidence of Clemastine Fumarate as a myelin repair therapy in patients with chronic inflammatory injury-causing demyelination as measured by multi-parametric MRI assessments. No reparative therapies exist for the treatment of multiple sclerosis. Clemastine fumarate was identified along with a series of other antimuscarinic medications as a potential remyelinating agent using the micropillar screen (BIMA) developed at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). Following in vivo validation, an FDA IND exemption was granted to investigate clemastine for the treatment of multiple sclerosis in the context of chronic optic...

Astroscape: a Study of Radiprodil on Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Effect on Seizures and Behavioral Symptoms in Patients with TSC or FCD Type II
Study RAD-GRIN-201 is a phase 1B/2A trial to assess safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and potential efficacy of radiprodil in participants with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) or Focal Cortical Dysplasia (FCD) type II. The study is open-label, so all participants will be treated with radiprodil. Subjects' participation in the study is expected to last up to six months in Part A and one year in Part B/long-term treatment period. The treatment period in Part B may be extended based on a favorable benefit/risk profile.

ESIS in Pediatric DRE
The main reason for this research study is to gain information about how the brain makes seizures by causing seizures using very small amounts of current, or electrical stimulation. Using small amounts of current to cause seizures (or stimulate) is not new at CCHMC - it is part of routine clinical practice for some patients at some electrodes. This study differs from routine clinical care in that all study patients will undergo electrical stimulation in all or nearly all electrode contacts. The study team is doing this because there is promising data in adult patients that stimulating comprehensively (targeting all or nearly all of the electrode contacts) helps define the seizure...

Evaluating the Long-term Safety and Tolerability of Imatinib in Patients with Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM)
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare cystic lung disease that appears to behave like a slowly growing cancer. Since clinical progression is very slow, new blood tests have been used to speed the time required to find safe and effective medications. A large National Institute of Health study called MILES showed that sirolimus (also known as Rapamycin) improved lung function in individuals with LAM. Since most individuals with LAM and impaired lung function are now on sirolimus, future studies may prove more difficult. Laboratory studies suggested that Imatinib mesylate (imatinib), an FDA-approved drug for leukemia, initiates LAM cell death. A pilot trial with imatinib titled...
