Medication Combinations of Dasatinib, Quercetin, Fisetin and Temozolomide for the Treatment of Previously Treated Glioma with Residual Disease

Trial Status: active

This early phase I trial tests the safety, side effects and how well medication combinations of dasatinib, quercetin, fisetin and temozolomide work in treating patients with glioma for which the patient has received treatment in the past (previously treated) and for tumor cells that remain after attempts to treat the tumor have been made (residual disease). Dasatinib is in a class of medications called tyrosine kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals tumor cells to multiply, which may help keep tumor cells from growing. Quercetin and fisetin are compounds found in plants. They have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and help remove senescent cells, older or damaged cells that have stopped dividing but don’t die off as they should and build up in tissues over time. Senescent cells may cause inflammation or damage to nearby healthy cells. Temozolomide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell's deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill tumor cells and slow down or stop tumor growth. Giving medication combinations of dasatinib, quercetin, fisetin and temozolomide may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating patients with previously treated glioma with residual disease.
