BGB-290 and Temozolomide in Treating Patients With Recurrent Gliomas With IDH1/2 Mutations
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and how well BGB-290 and temozolomide work in treating patients with gliomas (brain tumors) with IDH1/2 mutations that have come back. BGB-290 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving BGB-290 and temozolomide may work better in treating patients with recurrent gliomas.

BG & TMZ Therapy of Glioblastoma Multiforme
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. O6-benzylguanine may help temozolomide work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug. Giving genetically modified peripheral blood stem cells during or after treatment may prevent side effects caused by chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This clinical trial studies O6-benzylguanine and temozolomide in combination with genetically modified peripheral blood stem cells in treating patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme.

BIBF 1120 for Recurrent High-Grade Gliomas
BIBF 1120 is a newly discovered compound that may stop cancer cells from growing abnormally. This drug is currently being used in treatment for other cancers in research studies and information from those other research studies suggests that this agent, BIBF 1120, may help to stop recurrent malignant glioma cells from multiplying and it may also prevent the growth of new blood vessels at the site of the tumor. In this research study, the investigators are looking to see how well BIBF 1120 works in patients with recurrent malignant gliomas.

BIBF 1120 in Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme
VEGF inhibition by BEV may induce a change in tumor invasiveness and treatment failure is often associated with remote metastases. BEV may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Cediranib, a pan-VEGF inhibitor has shown promising results in recurrent GBM. VEGF-blocking with small molecules may overcome the mechanism of resistance, and response to BIBF-1120 in such circumstances may open a new treatment option in GBM. In additional, recurrent glioblastomas have an extremely poor prognosis, so innovative therapies are needed.

BIBW 2992 (Afatinib) With or Without Daily Temozolomide in the Treatment of Patients With Recurrent Malignant Glioma
Phase I Part: To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and pharmacokinetics of BIBW 2992 administered in combination with TMZ in patients with recurrent malignant gliomas (WHO Grade III and IV). Phase II Part: To estimate the efficacy and safety of BIBW 2992 monotherapy and BIBW 2992 / TMZ combination therapy compared to TMZ monotherapy (three treatment arms) in patients with recurrent GBM. To evaluate molecular determinants of response to BIBW 2992.

Biodistribution and Safety of the PET Probes [18F]FPRGD2 and [18F]FPPRGD2
The purpose of the study was to conduct a pilot test of new tracers ([18F]FPRGD2 and [18F]FPPRGD2) to define normal tracer biodistribution (where the tracer goes), stability (how much metabolises), pharmacokinetics (how much stays in which organs and for how long), and radiation dosimetry (organ radiation dose). Healthy volunteers provided the normal biodistribution data. The same radiopharmaceutical was also tested in breast cancer, glioblastoma multiform (brain cancer), and lung cancer.

Bioequivalence & Food Effect Study in Patients With Solid Tumor or Hematologic Malignancies
This is a Phase 1, open-label, multicenter, randomized, 2-stage crossover study consisting of 2 phases: Stage I - Pharmacokinetics (Bioequivalence), with an Extension Stage II - Pharmacokinetics (Food Effect) with an Extension This study will enroll approximately 60 subjects in stage I and 60 subjects in stage II with hematologic or solid tumor malignancies, excluding gastrointestinal tumors and tumors that have originated or metastasized to the liver for which no standard treatment exists or have progressed or recurred following prior therapy. Subjects must not be eligible for therapy of higher curative potential where an alternative treatment has been shown to prolong...

Biological Therapy Following Surgery and Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Primary or Recurrent Astrocytoma or Oligodendroglioma
RATIONALE: Biological therapies use different ways to stimulate the immune system and stop cancer cells from growing. Combining different types of biological therapies may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of biological therapy following surgery and radiation therapy in treating patients who have primary or recurrent astrocytoma or oligodendroglioma.

Biomarkers for Prognosis of Glioblastoma (GBM)
The purpose of this study is: 1. To learn if (MMP-2, MMP-9 and NGAL) which are substances found in blood and urine associated with tumors, can be used as tumor markers in the management and treatment of glioblastoma. 2. To study the relationship between MMP-2, MMP-9 and NGAL with quality of life and disease symptoms.
