Radiation Therapy Plus Hyperbaric Oxygen in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma Multiforme
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Hyperbaric oxygen may increase the effectiveness of radiation therapy. Combining hyperbaric oxygen with radiation therapy may be an effective treatment for glioblastoma multiforme. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of combining radiation therapy with hyperbaric oxygen in treating patients who have newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme.

Radiation Therapy, Temozolomide, Tamoxifen, and Carboplatin in Treating Patients With Malignant Gliomas
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Tamoxifen may make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Giving radiation therapy together with temozolomide, tamoxifen, and carboplatin may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving radiation therapy together with temozolomide, tamoxifen, and carboplatin works in treating patients with malignant gliomas.

Radiotherapy Planning Using Fluciclovine PET in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma
The purpose of the this study is to see if the use of a PET scan with 18F-fluciclovine (PET or Fluciclovine PET) in addition to the normal radiation planning imaging procedures (MRI and CT scan) will help determine the areas where the radiation therapy is to be delivered. It is also a goal of the study to determine if subjects live longer when treatment plans for radiation therapy are designed using a Fluciclovine PET scan, as well as MRI and CT scans. We will also collect information on if and where the tumor returns. Information on the side effects from the two different treatment planning imaging methods will also be collected. 18F-Fluciclovine is an FDA-approved radioactive...

Repurposing Chlorpromazine in the Treatment of Glioblastoma
This study evaluates the addition of chlorpromazine to the first-line therapeutic protocol, i.e. maximal well-tolerated surgical resection followed by radiotherapy plus concomitant and adjuvant chemotherapy with temozolomide, in newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme patients carrying a hypo-methylated O6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) gene

Restricted Calorie Ketogenic Diet as a Treatment in Malignant Tumors
Malignant tumor incidence showed an upgrade trend in recent years. Standard therapy for malignant tumor includes surgery followed by radiation and chemotherapy. Despite optimal treatment the prognosis remains poor. There is an urgent need for more effective therapies. The Warburg effect has been widely observed in human cancers. The main energy supply of tumor cells are aerobic glycolysis. Therefore, they are highly dependent on glucose metabolism. Recently, some scholars have suggested that 'Restricted calorie Ketogenic Diet (RKD)' might be able to inhibit glycolysis and thus anti-tumor by restricting carbohydrate intake. This will 'starve' cancer cells, which will lead to...

Safety and Efficacy of the ONCOlytic VIRus Armed for Local Chemotherapy, TG6002/5-FC, in Recurrent Glioblastoma Patients
Glioblastoma is the most common and the most aggressive primary brain cancer in adults. Indeed, despite very intensive treatments (i.e. maximal safe surgery, radiotherapy and several lines of cytotoxic chemotherapies), inducing significant adverse events, the prognosis of glioblastoma patients remains dismal with a median overall survival of ~15 months. Therefore, more efficient and less toxic therapies are urgently needed to improve survival and quality of life of glioblastoma patients. The oncolytic virus TG6002 has shown efficacy and good safety profile in several preclinical models of glioblastoma in vitro (i.e. cell line) and in vivo (i.e. xenografts in Swiss/Nude mice)....
