niacinamide and Astrocytoma

niacinamide has been researched along with Astrocytoma in 9 studies

nicotinamide : A pyridinecarboxamide that is pyridine in which the hydrogen at position 3 is replaced by a carboxamide group.

Astrocytoma: Neoplasms of the brain and spinal cord derived from glial cells which vary from histologically benign forms to highly anaplastic and malignant tumors. Fibrillary astrocytomas are the most common type and may be classified in order of increasing malignancy (grades I through IV). In the first two decades of life, astrocytomas tend to originate in the cerebellar hemispheres; in adults, they most frequently arise in the cerebrum and frequently undergo malignant transformation.

Trial Outcomes

Objective Response Rates

Determination of tumor response (CR, PR, SD) will be defined based on the comparison of the baseline MRI performed at study entry to the subsequent MRI which demonstrated best response. PR will be defined by a >15% decrease in tumor volume, as measured by 3D volumetric analysis. (NCT01338857)
Timeframe: MRIs performed after every 3rd 28-day cycle and off-study

Interventionparticipants (Number)
Sorafenib (Nexavar)1

Response Rate to Sorafenib

To estimate the objective response rates to sorafenib in children and young adults with low-grade astrocytomas, including optic pathway gliomas. (NCT01338857)
Timeframe: one year
