Behavioral Neurology Trials
As part of an academic medical center, the Division of Behavioral Neurology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine aims to improve human health through scientific research. Clinical trials test or study drugs, surgical procedures, medical devices or interventions with human subjects. They look to determine their safety and effectiveness in relation to treating specific diseases. Clinical trials are part of clinical research and are at the heart of all medical advances.
The following searchable list includes all the behavioral neurology clinical trials currently looking for participants.

NUDB 13C03: Northwestern Brain Tumor Institute Research DatabaseThe Northwestern Brain Tumor Institute (NBTI) currently uses an electronic database to collect and store information about patients who come to the NBTI for evaluations, including diagnosis, treatment, follow-up, and/or to obtain additional opinions. This database is called the Northwestern Brain Tumor Institute Database or NBTIDB, and it … The Northwestern Brain Tumor Institute (NBTI) currently uses an electronic database to collect and store information about patients who come to the NBTI for evaluations, including diagnosis, treatment, follow-up, and/or to obtain additional opinions. This database is called the Northwestern Brain Tumor Institute Database or NBTIDB, and it was developed to replace older paper methods for collecting and storing information. The purpose of this study is to allow researchers involved with the NBTIDB to use data stored in it for future research studies and projects. The NBTIDB also allows researchers to track whether or not patients have agreed to allow their information to be linked to their leftover tissue samples, which are kept in the hospital’s pathology department, for future research studies. Eligibility Criteria You may be eligible to take part in the research component of the NBTIDB if you are either a new or returning patient, over the age of 18, who is being seen by one of the clinicians at the NBTI and are or will be entered into the NBTIDB, or a patient who is not coming to the NBTI for evaluation, but would still like to participate in the NBTIDB.

Alliance A071401: Phase II Trial Of SMO/AKT/NF2/CDK Inhibitors in Progressive Meningiomas with SMO/AKT/NF2/CDK Pathway MutationsThis phase II trial studies how well two drugs, vismodegib and GSK2256098, work in treating patients with meningiomas that may have gotten bigger or grew back after treatment. Vismodegib and GSK2256098 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. The purpose … This phase II trial studies how well two drugs, vismodegib and GSK2256098, work in treating patients with meningiomas that may have gotten bigger or grew back after treatment. Vismodegib and GSK2256098 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. The purpose of this study is to test good and bad effects of these two different drugs against meningioma tumors with altered (or mutated) genes. Altered genes can cause a tumor to grow. The study drugs, vismodegib and GSK2256098, target these genes. The study drugs could shrink the cancer, or the cancer could stay the same size or grow. They may cause side effects. Researchers hope to learn if the study drugs will shrink the cancer by at least one-half compared to its present size. Today, therapy for meningioma is the same for all patients, and is not based on tumor genetic testing. This trial is trying to see if tumor genetic testing would be helpful at guiding treatment in meningioma patients. Copy Study URL to Clipboard Copy |
