Lenalidomide in Treating Young Patients With Recurrent, Progressive, or Refractory CNS Tumors
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of lenalidomide in treating young patients with recurrent, progressive, or refractory CNS tumors. Lenalidomide may stop the growth of CNS tumors by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It may also stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing.

Levetiracetam or Pregabalin in Treating Seizures in Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy and/or Radiation Therapy For Primary Brain Tumors
RATIONALE: Levetiracetam and pregabalin are drugs that treat seizures. It is not yet known which drug is more effective in treating seizures caused by primary brain tumors. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well levetiracetam or pregabalin work in treating seizures in patients undergoing chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy for primary brain tumors.

Low Dose Naltrexone for Glioma Patients
To compare the effects of low dose naltrexone (LDN) versus placebo on quality of life in high grade glioma patients undergoing standard chemoradiation
-
Low Dose Radiation Therapy for Glioblastoma Multiforme
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of low dose rate radiation therapy plus temozolomide. This will be in patients with High Grade Glioma (to only include Anaplastic Astrocytoma or Glioblastoma Multiforme) who have previously been treated with surgery followed by radiation surgical resection followed by adjuvant radiation therapy plus temozolomide.

LUMINOS-101: Lerapolturev (PVSRIPO) and Pembrolizumab in Patients with Recurrent Glioblastoma
This Phase 2 single arm trial in patients with rGBM will characterize the efficacy, safety, tolerability and initial efficacy of lerapolturev intratumoral infusion followed by intravenous pembrolizumab 14 to 28 days later, and every 3 weeks, thereafter.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging in Evaluating Patients Who Are Undergoing Treatment for Gliomas
RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI), (done before, during, and after treatment) may help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well MRI and MRSI evaluate patients who are undergoing treatment for gliomas.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Determining Extent of Cancer in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Glioma
RATIONALE: New imaging procedures such as magnetic resonance imaging may improve the ability to detect the extent of newly diagnosed cancer. PURPOSE: Diagnostic study of magnetic resonance imaging to determining the extent of cancer in patients who have newly diagnosed glioma.

Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging (MRS) and Tumor Perfusion of Human Glioblastoma Treated With Concurrent Radiation Therapy and Temozolomide
The purpose of this study is to learn whether 3 tesla (3T) MRI functional imaging will map a tumor more accurately allowing a more targeted delivery of radiation. The investigators hope to learn whether tomotherapy will be able to deliver higher radiation doses safely to the tumor while sparing the surrounding normal tissue.

Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Imaging in Predicting Response to Vorinostat and Temozolomide in Patients With Recurrent or Progressive Glioblastoma
This clinical trial is studying magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging in predicting response in patients to vorinostat and temozolomide in patients with recurrent, progressive, or newly diagnosed glioblastoma. 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. Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Vorinostat may also help temozolomide work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug. Imaging procedures, such as magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging, may help measure the patient's...

Mathematical Model-Adapted Radiation In Glioblastoma
This research study is studying a new schedule of radiation therapy for recurrent glioblastoma as a possible treatment for this diagnosis. This radiation schedule is based on a new model for radiation resistance in glioblastoma. The name of the radiation schedule involved in this study is: - Re-irradiation for glioblastoma using a novel Mathematical Model-Adapted Radiation Fractionation Schedule
