Non-Viral TCR Gene Therapy
Background: A person s white blood cells can be modified in a lab to recognize certain changes in their tumor. Many of these cells are collected from the person, modified, then given back to the person. This may help treat some cancers. Objective: To learn if a person s white blood cells modified with T-cell receptors can cause solid tumors to shrink. Eligibility: People ages 18-70 who have cancer of the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, ovary, breast, or lung that has spread, or who have glioblastoma. Design: Participants will be screened and have their cells prepared for treatment in another protocol. Participants will be hospitalized one week...

NovoTTF-100A With Bevacizumab and Carmustine in Treating Patients With Glioblastoma Multiforme in First Relapse
This phase II trial studies the safety of NovoTTF-100A in combination with bevacizumab and carmustine and to see how well they work in treating patients with glioblastoma multiforme that has returned for the first time. NovoTTF-100A, a type of electric field therapy, delivers low intensity, alternating "wave-like" electric fields that may interfere with multiplication of the glioblastoma multiforme cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carmustine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or...

ONC201 and Radiation Therapy Before Surgery for the Treatment of Recurrent Glioblastoma
This phase I trial studies the effects of ONC201 in combination with standard of care radiation therapy in treating patients with glioblastoma that has come back (recurrent). ONC201 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high energy photons to kill tumors cells and shrink tumors. Giving ONC201 in combination with radiation therapy may help treat patients with recurrent glioblastoma.

Peptide Vaccine for Glioblastoma Against Cytomegalovirus Antigens
Eligible adult patients with new diagnosis of gliobastoma are enrolled to receive 3 weekly vaccinations of the study drug PEP-CMV 1-3 days following standard of care chemoradiation. Patients will then be randomized to one of three arms: 1). standard temozolomide (TMZ)(200mg/m^2 for 5 days) with vaccine on day 6-8 of each monthly TMZ cycle. 2). standard TMZ (200mg/m^2 for 5 days) with vaccine on day 22-24 of each monthly TMZ cycle. 3). dose-intensified TMZ (100 mg./m^2 for 21 days) with vaccine on day 22-24 of each monthly cycle. All vaccines will be given intradermally (i.d.) and will be given with monthly TMZ cycles and continue after TMZ cycles until progression or death.

Perfusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Measuring the Growth of Blood Vessels in Newly Diagnosed Brain Tumors
RATIONALE: Perfusion magnetic resonance imaging may be an effective method of measuring the growth of blood vessels in brain tumors. These measurements may help doctors better diagnose and treat brain tumors. PURPOSE: Pilot study to determine the effectiveness of perfusion magnetic resonance imaging in measuring the growth of blood vessels in newly diagnosed brain tumors.

Phase I/II Cabazitaxel for Recurrent Malignant Glioma
The goal of Part 1 of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of cabazitaxel that can be given to patients with glioblastoma. The goal of Part 2 is to learn if cabazitaxel can help to control glioblastoma. The safety of the study drug will also be studied in both parts. Cabazitaxel is designed to interfere with the growth of cancer cells by stopping cell division.

Phase II Sorafenib With Radiation and Temozolomide in Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma or Gliosarcoma
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of sorafenib that can be given in combination with temozolomide. The safety of this combination will also be studied.

Phase II Trial of Romiplostim for Thrombocytopenia Induced by Lomustine at First Progression of MGMT Promoter-meth Glioblastoma
Romiplostim for low platelets caused by lomustine chemotherapy in patients with first recurrence (growing back) of a brain tumor, glioblastoma that is MGMT methylated. Lomustine is an anticancer drug often used to treat glioblastoma that grows back after initial treatment. This anticancer drug can cause side effects. The most frequent and potentially serious side effect of all is lowering of the blood platelets. Low platelets can cause bleedings in the the stomach and intestines, the skin, the brain and other systems and tissues. Low platelets are also the main cause of delaying or prematurely (ending treatment before the planned end) stopping chemotherapy. There is no...
