A Study of Temsirolimus and Bevacizumab in Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme
This trial is an investigator initiated, open label phase II study, where patient with recurrent primary GBM will be considered for the study. Only patients with recurrence after Temozolomide and VEGF-directed therapy with Bevacizumab will be considered for the study. Patients will receive temsirolimus 25 mg IV over 30-60 minutes on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 and bevacizumab 10 mg/kg IV over 30-90 minutes on day 8 and 22. Treatment repeats every 28 days for a maximum of 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. A safety analysis will be performed when the first 10 patients have received minimum 4 cycles (8 weeks). The study will then be stopped: If DLT...

A Study of the Effectiveness and Safety of Nivolumab Compared to Bevacizumab and of Nivolumab With or Without Ipilimumab in Glioblastoma Patients
The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy and safety of nivolumab administered alone versus bevacizumab in patients diagnosed with recurrent glioblastoma (a type of brain cancer, also known as GBM), and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of nivolumab administered alone or in combination with ipilimumab in patients with different lines of GBM therapy.

A Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Tarceva in Patients With First Relapse of Grade IV Glioma (Glioblastoma Multiforme)
This is a Phase II, open-label, multicenter trial of single-agent treatment with Tarceva in patients with histologically confirmed GBM in first relapse. This study seeks to estimate the objective response rate and will investigate whether response rate is related to EGFR amplification status.

A Study of the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Epacadostat Administered in Combination With Nivolumab in Select Advanced Cancers (ECHO-204)
This is a Phase 1/2, open label study. Phase 1 consists of 2 parts. Part 1 is a dose-escalation assessment of the safety and tolerability of epacadostat administered with nivolumab in subjects with select advanced solid tumors and lymphomas. Part 2 will evaluate the safety and tolerability of epacadostat in combination with nivolumab and chemotherapy in subjects with squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck (SCCHN) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Phase 2 will include expansion cohorts in 7 tumor types, including melanoma, NSCLC, SCCHN, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, glioblastoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

A Study of the Specificity and Sensitivity of 5- Aminolevulinic Acid (ALA) Fluorescence in Malignant Brain Tumors
Extent of resection is a very important prognostic factor affecting survival in individuals diagnosed with a malignant glioma. However, the infiltrative nature of the malignant glioma tumor cells produces indistinct borders between normal and malignant tissues, and the lack of easily identifiable tumor margins confounds attempts at total resection. The investigators propose to identify the borders of malignant gliomas intraoperatively using oral 5-aminolevulinic Acid (5-ALA) which results in fluorescence of the malignant cells and thereby provide an opportunity for more complete tumor resection. When exogenous 5-ALA is provided at increased concentration the tumor cells will...

A Study of XL765 (SAR245409) in Combination With Temozolomide With and Without Radiation in Adults With Malignant Gliomas
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of XL765 in combination with Temozolomide in adults with anaplastic gliomas or glioblastoma on a stable Temozolomide maintenance dose. XL765 is a new chemical entity that inhibits the kinases PI3K and mTOR. In preclinical studies, inactivation of PI3K has been shown to inhibit growth and induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) in tumor cells, whereas inactivation of mTOR has been shown to inhibit the growth of tumor cells. Temozolomide (TMZ, Temodar®) is an orally administered alkylating agent with activity against malignant gliomas. It is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the...

A Study to Evaluate Bevacizumab Alone or in Combination With Irinotecan for Treatment of Glioblastoma Multiforme (BRAIN)
This is a Phase II, open-label, multicenter, randomized, non comparative study consisting of two concurrent single-arms. Approximately 160 subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to Arm 1 (bevacizumab alone) or Arm 2 (bevacizumab + irinotecan).

A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Bevacizumab Plus Irinotecan in Recurrent Gliomas
To assess the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab plus irinotecan for the patients with recurrent anaplastic astrocytoma or with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme

A Study to Evaluate the Safety of LAM561 Added to Standard of Care in Newly-diagnosed Glioblastoma Patients
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of LAM561 added to first-line treatment for subjects with newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM), and to determine the highest safe dose of LAM561 administered orally when added to the concurrent phase of treatment with temozolomide (TMZ) and radiation therapy (RT) or when added to the maintenance phase of treatment with TMZ (once TMZ 200 g/m2/day is started).

A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of JNJ-42756493 in Adult Participants With Advanced or Refractory Solid Tumors or Lymphoma
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (study of what the body does to a drug), and pharmacodynamics (study of what a drug does to the body) of JNJ-42756493, a pan-fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in adult participants with advanced or refractory solid tumors or lymphoma.
