TP-38 Toxin in Treating Young Patients With Recurrent or Progressive Supratentorial High-Grade Glioma
RATIONALE: The TP-38 toxin can locate tumor cells and kill them without harming normal cells. Giving TP-38 toxin directly into the tumor may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of TP-38 toxin administered directly into the brain and to see how well it works in treating young patients with recurrent or progressive supratentorial high-grade glioma.

TRC105 for Recurrent Glioblastoma
Background: - Glioblastoma is an aggressive type of brain cancer that often resists treatment. TRC105 is an experimental drug that blocks the growth of new blood vessels. It is being studied for possible use in treating different kinds of cancer. Researchers want to see if TRC105 can be used to treat glioblastoma that has not responded to standard treatments. Objectives: - To test the safety and effectiveness of TRC105 in adults who have glioblastoma that has not responded to standard treatments. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have glioblastoma that has not responded to standard treatments. Design: ...

Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Brain Tumors With Chemotherapy and Radiation Using Cells Modified for Chemoprotection and an Experimental Drug to Decrease the Tumor Cell Resistance to Chemotherapy
Cure rates for patients with high grade glioma remain disappointing, in part because tumor cells are often resistant to chemotherapy, and because using higher doses of chemotherapy causes damage to normal blood cells. This trial is designed to try to overcome both of these barriers. The idea is to make tumor cells more sensitive to a chemotherapy agent, Temozolomide, by using 06Benzylguanine (06BG). In addition, patients will have a portion of their blood cells modified by the insertion of a chemotherapy resistance gene which may help protect blood cells from damage by the combination of the Temozolomide and 06BG.

TTFields and Pulsed Bevacizumab for Recurrent Glioblastoma
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and deadliest primary malignant neoplasm of the central nervous system in adults. Despite an aggressive multimodality treatment approach including surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, overall survival remains poor. Novocure has shown that when properly tuned, very low intensity, intermediate frequency electric fields (TTFields) stunt the growth of tumor cells. The Optune system (NovoTTFTM Therapy) is a portable battery operated device, which produces TTFields within the human body by means of surface transducer arrays. The TTFields are applied to the patient by means of surface transducer arrays that are electrically...

Tumor Hypoxia With HX4 PET in Several Diseases
Regulation of tissue oxygen homeostasis is critical for cell function, proliferation and survival. Evidence for this continues to accumulate along with our understanding of the complex oxygen-sensing pathways present within cells. Several pathophysiological disorders are associated with a loss in oxygen homeostasis, including heart disease, stroke, and cancer. The microenvironment of tumors in particular is very oxygen heterogeneous, with hypoxic areas which may explain our difficulty treating cancer effectively. Prostate carcinomas are known to be hypoxic. Increasing levels of hypoxia within prostatic tissue is related to increasing clinical stage, patient age and a...

Tumor Resection and Gliadel® Wafers, Followed by Temodar® With Standard Radiation or GammaKnife® for New GBM
A glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant primary brain tumor, yet it is not easy to control. Recent studies show that survival improves for patients who get aggressive surgery to remove a tumor before starting radiation (RT) and chemotherapy (chemo) treatment. Surgery, RT and chemo are part of regular cancer care for GBM. RT is usually done in daily doses 5 days a week over about 6 weeks. Beams of radiation are aimed at the tumor site plus some of the normal brain tissue around the tumor area. GammaKnife® (GK) radiosurgery also delivers radiation but in a larger dose over one day. GK sends beams to a precise target (tumor location) and very little normal brain tissue that...
