INC280 Combined With Bevacizumab in Patients With Glioblastoma Multiforme
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of two agents, INC280 and bevacizumab, is safe and effective when administered to patients with Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) who have progressed after receiving prior therapy or who have unresectable GBM.

INCB7839 in Treating Children With Recurrent/Progressive High-Grade Gliomas
This is a multicenter phase 1 trial of INCB7839 for children with recurrent or progressive high-grade gliomas, including, but not limited to, diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) and other diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs), after upfront therapy.

In Situ Immune Parameters and Their Prognostic Role on the Survival of Patients With Glioblastoma
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most frequent brain tumor. Currently survival is poor and few treatments are available. Recent data show that there is no immune privilege of the central nervous system (CNS) and that GBM are invaded by effector CD8 T cells, letting us hypothesis that GBM growth is dependent of immunosurveillance. The aim of this study is to better understand the antitumor immune response against GBM to unravel new effectors and immunosuppressive pathways important for the regulation of anticancer immunity and to discover new immune activating strategies with the objectives to isolate subgroups of GBMs that could benefit from an immunotherapy approach. To achieve this...

Interest of Fluorescein in Fluorescence-guided Resection of Gliomas (FLEGME)
Fluorescence guidance is a safe and efficient tool for glioblastomas resection. The most widely used technique is based on 5-aminolevulinic acid (5ala), which stains glioblastoma cells through a metabolic abnormality and thus helps in defining tumoral edges through a modified microscope. A multicentric, randomized study comparing 5ala guided surgery with conventional procedures showed that this technique doubles the rate of complete removal on post-operative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and increases the 6 months progression-free survival. More recently, fluorescein appeared as an interesting alternative fluorophore for glioblastomas, with a highly reduced cost (2.5 euros...

Internal Radiation Therapy Plus Carmustine Implants in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Malignant Glioma
RATIONALE: Internal radiation uses high-energy radiation to damage tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining internal radiation therapy with chemotherapy implants may kill remaining tumor cells following surgery. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of internal radiation therapy plus carmustine implants in treating patients who have recurrent or refractory malignant glioma.

Interstitial Infusion of IL13-PE38QQR Cytotoxin in Recurrent Malignant Glioma
IL13-PE38QQR is an oncology drug product consisting of IL13 (interleukin-13) and PE38QQR (a bacteria toxin). IL3-PE38QQR is a protein that exhibits cell killing activity against a variety of IL13 receptor-positive tumor cell lines indicating that it may show a therapeutic benefit. In reciprocal competition experiments, the interaction between IL13-PE38QQR and the IL13 receptors was shown to be highly specific for human glioma cells. IL13-PE38QQR will be infused in two courses of 96 hours each, eight weeks apart, directly into the malignant brain tumors of patients to determine the dose of drug these patients can tolerate. After that, the selected dose will be studied to give an...

INTRAGO-Intraoperative Radiotherapy for Glioblastoma - a Phase I/II Study
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a disease with an extremely poor prognosis. Despite surgery and radiochemotherapy, the tumors are likely to grow back very quickly. Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) may improve local control rates while sparing healthy tissue (Giordano et al. 2014). IORT takes place before cranioplasty directly after gross (or subtotal) tumor resection. Several past studies on IORT for GBM conducted in Japan and Spain have yielded encouraging results (Sakai et al. 1989; Matsutani et al. 1994; Fujiwara et al. 1995; Ortiz de Urbina et al. 1995). However, the full potential of the procedure is to date largely unexplored as most previous studies used...

INtraoperative photoDYnamic Therapy of GliOblastoma
The study pilot evaluate the feasibility of a "5-ALA- PpIX (protoporhyrin IX) mediated per-PDT protocol" in patients with glioblastoma accessible for complete surgical removal of contrast. This treatment will be carried out in addition to the current reference treatment of glioblastoma: maximum resection surgery followed by radiochemotherapy according to the protocol Stupp

Intra-operative Variation in Size of Brain Tumors After Craniotomy
We planned to evaluate the change in tumor dimensions of intraaxial parenchymal tumors after craniotomy by comparing the tumor size on intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUSG) with pre-operative CECT and CEMRI brain.

Iodine I 131 Monoclonal Antibody 3F8 in Treating Patients With Central Nervous System Cancer or Leptomeningeal Cancer
RATIONALE: Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, such as iodine I 131 monoclonal antibody 3F8, can find tumor cells and carry tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. This may be an effective treatment for central nervous system cancer or leptomeningeal metastases. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well iodine I 131 monoclonal antibody 3F8 works in treating patients with central nervous system cancer or leptomeningeal cancer.
