Neoantigen-based Personalized DNA Vaccine With Retifanlimab PD-1 Blockade Therapy in Patients With Newly Diagnosed, Unmethylated Glioblastoma
This is a single institution, open-label, multi-arm, phase I study assessing the safety and immunogenicity of a personalized neoantigen-based personalized DNA vaccine combined with PD-1 blockade therapy in subjects with newly diagnosed, MGMT promoter unmethylated glioblastoma (GBM). Immune checkpoint blockade, specifically those targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 pathways, has shown efficacy in multiple solid and hematologic malignancies. Furthermore, as has been demonstrated in metastatic melanoma, combining PD-1/PD-L1 blockade with other immune checkpoint inhibitors has shown improved objective response rates, though there is a significant increase in serious immune-related adverse...

Neratinib + Valproate in Advanced Solid Tumors, w/Expansion Cohort in Ras-Mutated Ca
To determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of the combination of neratinib and sodium valproate when given to patients with advanced solid tumors. Then to explore the antitumor effects of the neratinib and sodium valproate combination in advanced solid tumors with attention to RAS-mutated tumors, EGFR-altered GBM, and ocular melanoma, as part of the phase 2 expansion cohort.

Neuro-pharmacological Properties of Repurposed Ketoconazole in Glioblastomas
This research is being done to find out if the study drug (ketoconazole) can enter brain tumors at a high enough amount to stop the tumor cells from dividing. Ketoconazole is a drug which doctors already use for fungal infections and is thought to be able to effect tumor cells. As treatments for this type of brain tumor are limited, it is hoped that the results of this study will help to determine if the study drug should be studied further as a possible treatment.

Neuro-pharmacological Properties of Repurposed Posaconazole in Glioblastoma: a Phase 0 Clinical Trial
This research is being done to find out if the study drug (posaconazole) can enter brain tumors at a high enough amount to stop the tumor cells from dividing. Posaconazole is a drug which doctors already use for fungal infections and is thought to be able to effect tumor cells. As treatments for this type of brain tumor are limited, it is hoped that the results of this study will help to determine if the study drug should be studied further as a possible treatment.

Neuropsychological and Oncological Outcomes in Grade 2 or 3 Glioma Patients Undergoing Postoperative Modern Radiotherapy
Background: Infiltrative low grade gliomas (LGGs) are the most common primary central nervous system malignancies excluding the highest grade glioma, glioblastoma multiforme. Craniotomy with maximal safe tumor resection is endeavored to achieve longer survivals in LGG patients. Unfortunately, due to the infiltrative nature of gliomas and the frequent tumor location in eloquent areas, gross total resection is usually not applicable. According to National Comprehensive Cancer Network 2015 guidelines, postoperative adjuvant radiation therapy (RT) is recommended for most adult patients with low-grade infiltrative LGGs in order to enhance local control and prolong progression-free...

Neurosurgical Neuronavigation Using Resting State MRI and Machine Learning
This study is investigating the use of a computer algorithm to analyze scans of the brain before surgery to predict how a person's tumor will respond to treatment.

New Adjuvant Vaccine in Glioblastoma, a Phase 1/2a Study
This phase I/II trial evaluates the safety and the immunological efficacy of a cancer vaccine against 2 glioma-associated antigens in newly-diagnosed glioblastomas. All patients enrolled in the study will receive standard treatment consisting of surgical resection of the tumor followed by radio-chemotherapy. Immunotherapy will begin 4 weeks after the completion of radiotherapy.

Non-invasive Brain Tumor Molecular Diagnostics and Monitoring
This prospective multicenter study aims to enroll GBM patients who will undergo repeated assessments (preoperatively and 3 months post-surgery) to detect circulating tumor cells and analyze the transcriptomic profiles of EVs in their blood. The prognostic and monitoring significance of these biomarkers to disease course (assessing treatment efficacy, resistance incidence, tumor progression) will be evaluated. Concurrently, proteomic profiles typical of GBM will be analyzed in blood and ocular secretion samples from GBM patients, patients with low-grade gliomas, and patients without brain tumors to identify and validate novel protein biomarkers suitable for disease monitoring....
