Testing Dasatinib as a Potential Targeted Treatment in Cancers With DDR2 Genetic Changes (MATCH-Subprotocol X)
This phase II MATCH treatment trial identifies the effects of dasatinib in patients whose cancer has a genetic change called DDR2 mutation. Dasatinib may block proteins called tyrosine kinases, which may be needed for cancer cell growth. Researchers hope to learn if dasatinib will shrink this type of cancer or stop its growth.

Testing Nivolumab and BMS-986016 (Relatlimab) as Potentially Targeting Treatment in Cancers That Are LAG-3+ and Have Mismatch Repair Deficiency (MATCH - Subprotocol Z1M)
This phase II MATCH treatment trial tests how well nivolumab and BMS-986016 (relatlimab) works in treating patients with cancer that has certain genetic changes called LAG-3 mutations with mismatch repair deficiency. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and BMS-986016 (relatlimab), may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread.

Testing the Addition of an Anti-cancer Viral Gene Therapy, Toca 511/Toca FC, to the Usual Treatment (Temozolomide and Radiation Therapy) for Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma
This phase II/III trial studies how well vocimagene amiretrorepvec (Toca 511) and extended release flucytosine (Toca FC) work when added to the usual treatment (temozolomide and radiation therapy) in treating patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. Toca 511 is a live virus that has been built to carry a gene into tumor cells. This gene carries instructions that cause the tumor cells to turn Toca FC, typically used to treat fungal infections, into a drug that may kill the tumor cells. 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...

Testing the Combination of Anti-cancer Drugs Tiragolumab and Atezolizumab to Improve Outcomes for Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma
This phase II trial compares the safety, side effects and effectiveness of atezolizumab with tiragolumab to atezolizumab alone in treating patients with glioblastoma that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Glioblastoma is the most common primary brain cancer in adults and despite aggressive treatment, it is nearly always fatal. Currently, there are limited effective treatment options in patients that have recurrence. Immunotherapy has been shown to be effective in other types of cancer and may be an appealing potential treatment option for recurrent glioblastoma. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab and tiragolumab, may help the...

The Addition of Chloroquine to Chemoradiation for Glioblastoma,
Glioblastomas (GBM) are the most common type of primary brain tumors with an annual incidence of approximately 500 patients in the Netherlands. Despite extensive treatment including a resection, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, the median overall survival is only 14.6 months. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) amplification or mutation is regularly observed in GBM and is thought to be a major contributor to resistance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The most common EGFR mutation in GBM (EGFRvIII) is present in 30-50% of GBM. Previously MAASTRO lab has shown that expression of EGFRvIII provides GBM cells with a survival advantage when exposed to stress factors such...

TMS Electrochemotherapy for Glioblastoma Multiforme
The proposed project aims to develop novel electrochemotherapeutic treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Standard treatment has limited effect on survival and quality of life. Electrochemotherapy is a novel and promising treatment, which has demonstrated convincing results in the treatment of various types of carcinoma. The treatment is based on a combination of electrical current stimulation of tumor cells and simultaneous administration of chemotherapeutic drugs. Electrochemotherapy works by inducing an electrical current between implanted electrodes in the tumor tissue, causing electroporation of the cancer cell membranes, and thereby increasing the cellular permeability...

EAP for the Treatment of Glioblastoma With PVSRIPO
This is an open-label, single-arm, non-randomized, intermediate-sized expanded access study evaluating the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of PVSRIPO delivered via intratumoral infusion, in subjects with glioblastoma (GBM) who are ineligible to participate in clinical study with PVSRIPO that is currently open to enrollment.
