Hyperpolarized Carbon-13 (13C) Pyruvate Imaging in Patients With Glioblastoma
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether new metabolic imaging will be useful to physicians and patients with glioblastoma for making treatment decisions and seeing how well various types of treatment work. The goal is to improve the way patient care is managed in the future. If you chose to be in this study, you will be receiving novel magnetic resonance (MR) metabolic imaging with standard MR imaging. The research component includes an injection of an investigational agent, called hyperpolarized 13C pyruvate, to obtain dynamic metabolic imaging.

Identification of Treatment Concentrations of Defactinib or VS-6766 for the Treatment of Patients With Glioblastoma
This early phase I trial tests brain concentration level and safety of defactinib or VS-6766 for the treatment of patients with glioblastoma. Recently, two new drugs that seem to work together have been shown to have promising treatment effects in tissue culture and animal models of glioblastoma. Each inhibits a different glioblastoma growth pathway and when used together may create a larger effect on tumor growth than either alone. Growth pathway describes a series of chemical reactions in which a group of molecules in a cell work together to control cell growth. It is known that glioblastoma tumor cells can grow because of lack of regulation. Both Pyk2 and the closely...

Impact of O6-methylguanine-DNA Methyltransferase (MGMT) Promoter Methylation and MGMT Expression on Dacarbazine Treated Sarcoma Patients (MGMT)
MGMT study is a retrospective, non-profit, multi-center, observational study. The scientific objective of this study is to investigate whether MGMT expression or MGMT promoter methylation may represent a predictive marker for dacarbazine sensitivity in sarcoma patients.

Impact of the Platelet Level in Patients Treated for Glioblastoma With Temozolomid
The purpose of GLIOPLAK is to evaluate the predictive value of a biological test performed in the radio-chemotherapy phase in patients suffering from glioblastoma. The studied parameter is the variation in platelet count during the radio-chemotherapy phase. The main objective is to identify early in Stupp protocol a group of patients having high risk to undergo thrombocytopenia in maintenance phase of temozolomide. With this result an algorithm of platelet monitoring for patients treated with Stupp protocol wil be proposed.

Improving Understanding of Brain Tumors Through Preservation of Biologically Active Brain Tissue
Recent experiments are giving researchers insight into the changes (mutations) that occur in an individual brain tumor cell compared to a normal cell. Currently, we do not have enough knowledge about how uniform these changes are throughout a single brain tumor and if different regions of a brain tumor have different groupings of changes. By obtaining multiple samples of the tumor from various regions during surgery, it will allow researchers to better understand these changes, with the hope that they will lead to new discoveries in the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors.

INO-5401 and INO-9012 Delivered by Electroporation (EP) in Combination With Cemiplimab (REGN2810) in Newly-Diagnosed Glioblastoma (GBM)
Phase 1/2 trial to evaluate safety, immunogenicity and preliminary efficacy of INO-5401 and INO-9012 in combination with cemiplimab (REGN2810), with radiation and chemotherapy, in subjects with newly-diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM).

Intracranial Injection of NK-92/5.28.z Cells in Combination With Intravenous Ezabenlimab in Patients With Recurrent HER2-positive Glioblastoma
The main objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of NK-92/5.28.z and to determine the maximum tolerated dose or maximum feasible dose (MFD). Recommended phase 2 doses both for intraoperative injections only (RP2Diio) and repetitive injections (RP2Dri) will be determined. Frequent side effects and target organs of toxicity and their severity, duration and reversibility will be determined. Furthermore, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics will be examined. In addition, potential signs of anti-tumor activity of NK-92/5.28.z cells will be analyzed. In the separate "CAR2BRAIN-Check" cohort, combination therapy of NK-92/5.28.z with the...
