Genetically Modified T-cells in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Malignant Glioma
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of genetically modified T-cell immunotherapy in treating patients with malignant glioma that has come back (recurrent) or has not responded to therapy (refractory). A T cell is a type of immune cell that can recognize and kill abnormal cells in the body. T cells are taken from the patient's blood and a modified gene is placed into them in the laboratory and this may help them recognize and kill glioma cells. Genetically modified T-cells may also help the body build an immune response against the tumor cells.

Glioblastoma Treatment With Irradiation and Olaptesed Pegol (NOX-A12) in MGMT Unmethylated Patients
The purpose of this study is to obtain first, exploratory information on the safety and efficacy of (i) olaptesed pegol in combination with radiation therapy in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma of unmethylated MGMT promoter status either not amenable to resection (biopsy only) or after incomplete tumor resection, and (ii) olaptesed pegol in combination with radiation therapy and bevacizumab in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma of unmethylated MGMT promoter status either not amenable to resection (biopsy only) or after incomplete or complete tumor resection. Further arms are included (i) to establish safety for the combination of olaptesed pegol at three...

Glioma Microenvironment an Exploratory Study
Diffuse glioms are primary brain tumors characterized by infiltrative growth and high heterogeneity, which render the disease mostly incurable. Advances in genetic analysis revealed that molecular and epigenetic alterations predict patients´s overall survival and clinical outcome. However, glioma tumorigenicity is not exclusively caused by its genetic alterations. The crosstalk between tumor cells and the surrounding microenvironment plays a crucial role in modulating glioma growth and aggressiveness. In this sense, to understand the tumor microenvironment would elucidate potential treatment alternatives. The focus will be to evaluate myeloid cells and cytokines levels.

HSV G207 in Children With Recurrent or Refractory Cerebellar Brain Tumors
This study is a clinical trial to determine the safety of inoculating G207 (an experimental virus therapy) into a recurrent or refractory cerebellar brain tumor. The safety of combining G207 with a single low dose of radiation, designed to enhance virus replication, tumor cell killing, and an anti-tumor immune response, will also be tested.

HUMC 1612: Optune NovoTTF-200A System
The purpose of this study is to determine if the Optune NovoTTF-200A device can be safely used in combination with chemotherapy in pediatric patients with recurrent high-grade glioma and ependemoma.

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.

Ibrutinib With Radiation and Temozolomide in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma
Safety of combination of ibrutinib and radiation at various dose levels in unmethylated o6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) glioblastoma and study of ibrutinib, temozolomide, and radiation combination therapy in methylated MGMT glioblastoma.

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.
