LY3214996 Plus Abemaciclib in Recurrent Glioblastoma Patients
This trial is an open-label, multicenter, Phase 0/2 trial that will enroll up to 50 participants with recurrent glioblastoma which are schedule for resection. In the lead-in cohort, a total of 10 participants will be enrolled into the proposed phase 0 clinical trial. Participants will be administered LY3214996 plus Abemaciclib prior to surgical resection of their tumor. If positive PK results are demonstrated in ≥50% of Phase 0 participants and at least 5 participants are enrolled into Phase 2, up to approximately 40 additional participants will be enrolled in the dose expansion cohort in order to achieve a total of 25 participants enrolled into Phase 2 (lead-in cohort +...

Memory-Enriched T Cells in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Grade III-IV Glioma
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of memory-enriched T cells in treating patients with grade II-IV glioma that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Memory enriched T cells such as HER2(EQ)BBζ/CD19t+ T cells may enter and express its genes in immune cells. Immune cells can be engineered to kill glioma cells in the laboratory by inserting a piece of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) into the immune cells that allows them to recognize glioma cells. A vector called lentivirus is used to carry the piece of DNA into the immune cell. It is not known whether these immune cells will kill glioma tumor cells when given to patients.

Metabolic Therapy Program In Conjunction With Standard Treatment For Glioblastoma
Glioblastoma (GBM), a very aggressive brain tumour, is one of the most malignant of all cancers and is associated with a poor prognosis. The majority of GBM cells display damaged mitochondria (the "batteries" of cells), so they rely on an alternate method for producing energy called the Warburg Effect, which relies nearly exclusively on glucose (in contrast, normal cells can use other molecules, such as fatty acids and fat-derived ketones, for energy). Metabolic interventions, such as fasting and ketogenic diets, target cancer cell metabolism by enhancing mitochondria function, decreasing blood glucose levels, and increasing blood ketone levels, creating an advantage for...

Metformin, Neo-adjuvant Temozolomide and Hypo- Accelerated Radiotherapy Followed by Adjuvant TMZ in Patients With GBM
Glioblastoma Multiforme is one of the most common, and unfortunately one of the most aggressive brain tumors in adults with most of the patients recurring and dying of the disease with a median survival of 16 months from diagnosis. Current treatment for patients with newly diagnosed Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is safe maximal surgical resection followed by concomitant conventional Radiotherapy (RT) delivered in 6 weeks + Temozolomide (TMZ) followed by TMZ for 6 to 12 cycles. Recent scientific research has shown that Metformin, a common drug used to treat diabetes mellitus, may improve the results of the treatment in patients with a variety of cancers, such as breast, colon,...

Mind-Body Intervention in Glioma Couples
This trial studies how well a couple-based mind body program works in improving spiritual, psychosocial, and physical quality of life in patients with high or low grade glioma or tumors that have spread to the brain and their partners. A couple-based mind body program may help to improve spiritual well-being, sleep difficulties, depressive symptoms, and overall quality of life in patients with glioma or tumors that have spread to the brain and their partners.

MRSI to Predict Response to RT/TMZ ± Belinostat in GBM
In the first phase of this study (Cohort 1), the investigators will determine the feasibility of adding MRSI to the evaluation of newly-diagnosed GBM patients treated with standard RT/TMZ and determine whether magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) can predict for better outcomes in these patients. In the second phase of this study (Cohorts 2a and 2b), the investigators will find the maximum tolerated dose of belinostat for treating newly-diagnosed GBM patients with standard RT/TMZ and will determine whether MRSI can aid clinicians in the early determination of response to this new therapy.

Mycophenolate Mofetil Combined With Radiation Therapy in Glioblastoma
This is a phase 0/1 dose-escalation trial to determine the maximum tolerated dose of Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) when administered with radiation, in patients with glioblastoma or gliosarcoma.

Neoantigen-based Personalized DNA Vaccine in Patients With Newly Diagnosed, Unmethylated Glioblastoma
This is a single institution, open-label, single arm, study assessing the safety, feasibility, and immunogenicity of a personalized neoantigen-based vaccine in subjects with newly diagnosed, unmethylated glioblastoma.

Niraparib/TTFields in GBM
Evaluating the efficacy and safety of niraparib and Tumor-Treating Fields (TTFields) in recurrent glioblastoma (GBM).

Nivolumab and Temozolomide Versus Temozolomide Alone in Newly Diagnosed Elderly Patients With GBM
This study aims to investigate effect of Nivolumab and Temozolomide vs Temozolomide alone on overall survival in newly diagnosed elderly patients with glioblastoma. Who is it for? You may be eligible to join this study if you are aged 65 years or above, with newly diagnosed histologically confirmed GBM (WHO grade IV glioma including gliosarcoma) following surgery. The study aims to evaluate whether the combination of adjuvant nivolumab with temozolomide improves overall survival outcomes for this patient population. The outcome of the study will help determine the most effective treatment for patients with glioblastoma in the future.
