A Trial of Ipatasertib in Combination With Atezolizumab
This is a single centre, proof-of-concept phase I trial of atezolizumab in combination with ipatasertib. There are two parts to this study, the dose escalation phase (Part A) and the dose expansion phase (Part B). Part A, will determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase II dose (RP2D). This will be followed by the Part B dose expansion phase to further characterise the safety and tolerability and to assess the pharmacodynamic activity of the combination.

Azeliragon and Chemoradiotherapy in Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma
This is an open label study to determine the safety and preliminary evidence of a therapeutic effect of azeliragon in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma receiving concurrent radiation and temozolomide.

Azeliragon in MGMT Unmethylated Glioblastoma
This is a phase 2 study to evaluate the safety and preliminary evidence of effectiveness of azeliragon, in combination with radiation therapy, as an initial treatment of a form of glioblastoma. Glioblastoma is a type of brain cancer that grows quickly and can invade and destroy healthy tissue. There's no cure for glioblastoma, which is also known as glioblastoma multiforme. Treatments, including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy might slow cancer growth and reduce symptoms. New treatments of glioblastoma are needed.

Bevacizumab Alone Versus Dose-dense Temozolomide Followed by Bevacizumab for Recurrent Glioblastoma, Phase III
The aim of this Phase III study is to evaluate the superiority of dose-dense temozolomide (ddTMZ) followed by bevacizumab at ddTMZ failure for glioblastoma at first recurrence or progression, comparing to bevacizumab alone.

Brain Tumor-Specific Immune Cells (IL13Ralpha2-CAR T Cells) for the Treatment of Leptomeningeal Glioblastoma, Ependymoma, or Medulloblastoma
This phase I trial investigates the side effects of brain tumor-specific immune cells (IL13Ralpha2-CAR T cells) in treating patients with leptomeningeal disease from glioblastoma, ependymoma, or medulloblastoma. Immune cells are part of the immune system and help the body fight infections and other diseases. Immune cells can be engineered to destroy brain tumor cells in the laboratory. IL13Ralpha2-CAR T cells is brain tumor specific and can enter and express its genes in immune cells. Giving IL13Ralpha2-CAR T cells may better recognize and destroy brain tumor cells in patients with leptomeningeal disease from glioblastoma, ependymoma or medulloblastoma.

Capecitabine + Bevacizumab in Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma
This study involves participants with recurrent glioblastoma brain tumors (GBM). This means that a participant's brain tumor has either returned after being treated by a previous therapy, or has continued to progress despite being treated. The purpose of this study is to provide proof of concept that suppression of MDSCs (myeloid-derived suppressor cells) is feasible in patients with GBM. Rather than targeting tumor cells or immune checkpoints, which has been the focus of recent therapeutic efforts, direct targeting of MDSCs with low dose capecitabine has the potential to reverse the immunosuppressed microenvironment of GBM and thereby reduce tumors

Carboxylesterase-Expressing Allogeneic Neural Stem Cells and Irinotecan Hydrochloride in Treating Patients With Recurrent High-Grade Gliomas
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of carboxylesterase-expressing allogeneic neural stem cells when given together with irinotecan hydrochloride in treating patients with high-grade gliomas that have come back. Placing genetically modified neural stem cells into brain tumor cells may make the tumor more sensitive to irinotecan hydrochloride. Irinotecan hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving carboxylesterase-expressing allogeneic neural stem cells and irinotecan hydrochloride may be a better treatment for high-grade gliomas.

CAR T Cells in Patients With MMP2+ Recurrent or Progressive Glioblastoma
This is a phase 1b study to evaluate the safety of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells with a chlorotoxin tumor-targeting domain (ie, CHM-1101, the study treatment) to determine the best dose of CHM-1101, and to assess the effectiveness of CHM-1101 in treating MMP2+ glioblastoma that has come back (recurrent) or that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive).

CART-EGFR-IL13Ra2 in EGFR Amplified Recurrent GBM
This is an open-label phase 1 study to assess the safety and feasibility of autologous T cells co-expressing two CARs targeting the cryptic EGFR epitope 806 and IL13Ra2 (referred to as "CART-EGFR-IL13Ra2 cells") in patients with EGFR-amplified glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype that has recurred following prior radiotherapy. This study will take place in two parts: an initial dose escalation phase followed by a dose exploration phase. In the dose expansion phase, the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of CART-EGFR-IL13Ra2 cells will be determined using a standard 3+3 design. Once the MTD has been determined, the dose exploration phase will allow for further identification of a recommended dose...

CBT-I in Primary Brain Tumor Patients: Phase IIc Randomized Feasibility Pilot Trial
This study seeks to investigate an evidence-based, manualized, behavioral health intervention, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), in individuals with primary brain tumors (PBT) and insomnia. Our project will assess the feasibility and acceptability of recruitment, enrollment, data collection procedures, and retention of individuals with PBT and insomnia in the behavioral health intervention, CBT-I, and investigate the potential benefits of CBT-I within this at-risk and understudied population. In the long term, the goals are to expand treatment options for neuro-oncology patients and improve their mission readiness and overall wellbeing.
