TN-TC11G (THC+CBD) Combination With Temozolomide and Radiotherapy in Patients With Newly-diagnosed Glioblastoma
Glioblastoma is the primary brain tumour with the worst prognosis: median survival is only 12 months despite the use of the most advanced treatments. In the past 10 years, survival in the treatment of this disease has not advanced significantly, with the postoperative standard being the administration of chemoradiotherapy with temozolomide, followed by 6 cycles of sequential chemotherapy with temozolomide. Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) have shown a clear synergistic antitumour effect with temozolomide and radiotherapy in preclinical glioma models. THC and CBD have a wide variety of biological effects by binding with and activating the type 1 and type 2...

TORC1/2 Inhibitor MLN0128 and Bevacizumab in Treating Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma or Advanced Solid Tumors
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of raptor/rictor-mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) (TORC1/2) inhibitor MLN0128 when given in combination with bevacizumab in treating patients with glioblastoma, a type of brain tumor, or a solid tumor that has spread and not responded to standard treatment. TORC1/2 inhibitor MLN0128 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Bevacizumab may also stop the progression of tumors by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth.

Trial of Anti-Tim-3 in Combination With Anti-PD-1 and SRS in Recurrent GBM
This phase I trial studies the side effects of stereotactic radiosurgery with MBG453 and spartalizumab in treating patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Stereotactic radiosurgery is a specialized radiation therapy that delivers a single, high dose of radiation directly to the tumor to more precisely target the cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as MBG453 and spartalizumab may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving stereotactic radiosurgery together with immunotherapy may be a better treatment for GBM.

Trial of C134 in Patients With Recurrent GBM
The purpose of this project is to obtain safety information in small groups of individuals, scheduled to receive escalating doses of C134, a cancer killing virus (HSV-1) that has been genetically engineered to safely replicate and kill glioma tumor cells. Safety will be assessed at each dose level before proceeding to the next dose level. A special statistical technique called the Continual Reassessment Method (CRM) will be used to determine when higher doses of virus can be administered. Other objectives of the study include characterization of the activity of C134 after inoculation into the tumor and of the local and systemic immune responses to C134. Patients will also be...

Trial of Newly Diagnosed High Grade Glioma Treated With Concurrent Radiation Therapy, Temozolomide and BMX-001
This is a Phase 2 study of newly diagnosed patients with high grade glioma (HGG) undergoing standard radiation therapy and temozolomide treatment. BMX-001 added to radiation therapy and temozolomide has the potential not only to benefit the survival of high grade glioma patients but also to protect against deterioration of cognition and impairment of quality of life. BMX-001 will be given subcutaneously first with a loading dose zero to four days prior to the start of chemoradiation and followed by twice a week doses at one-half of the loading dose for the duration of radiation therapy plus two weeks. Both safety and efficacy of BMX-001 will be evaluated. Impact on cognition...

Trial of Niraparib in Participants with Newly-diagnosed Glioblastoma and Recurrent Glioma
This is an open-label, multi-center Phase 0 study with an expansion phase that will enroll up to 24 participants with newly-diagnosed glioblastoma and up to 18 recurrent glioma participants with IDH mutation and ATRX loss. The trial will be composed of a Phase 0 component (subdivided into Arm A and B) and a therapeutic expansion phase. Patients with tumors demonstrating a positive PK Response (in Arm A) or a positive PD Response (in Arm B) of the Phase 0 component of the study will graduate to a therapeutic expansion phase that combines therapeutic dosing of niraparib plus standard-of-care fractionated radiotherapy (in Arm A) or niraparib monotherapy (in Arm B) until progression...

Triapine in Combination with Temozolomide for the Treatment of Patients with Recurrent Glioblastoma
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of triapine in combination with temozolomide in treating patients with glioblastoma that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Triapine inhibits an enzyme responsible for producing molecules required for the production of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which may inhibit tumor cell growth. Temozolomide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell's DNA and may kill tumor cells and slow down or stop tumor growth. Giving triapine in combination with temozolomide may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with recurrent glioblastoma.

TTFields and Radiosurgery of Recurrent Glioblastoma +/- 18F-Fluoro-Ethyl-Thyrosine
All patients will receive TTFields therapy and additionally Stereotactic Radiosurgery . Radiosurgery will be based on MRI and FET-PET or MRI alone. Addition of FET-PET will be preferred option.

Tumor Hypoxia and Proliferation in Patients With High-Grade Glioma
This is a pilot study to assess a new methodology developed for High Grade Glioma (HGG). FMISO PET (Fluoromisonidazole-PET) allows researchers to study whether tumor cells lack oxygen (hypoxia). FLT PET (Fluorodeoxythymidine-PET) allows researchers to study the increase in the number of cells as a result of cell growth and cell division (proliferation). Tumors that have low oxygen levels and/or are dividing fast shall resist to standard cancer treatment. The study will compare FMISO PET and FLT PET imaging techniques with molecular biomarkers of hypoxia, angiogenesis, and cellular proliferation in tissue. proliferation).This information could help researchers develop new...

Veliparib, Radiation Therapy, and Temozolomide in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed Malignant Glioma Without H3 K27M or BRAFV600 Mutations
This phase II trial studies how well veliparib, radiation therapy, and temozolomide work in treating patients with newly diagnosed malignant glioma without H3 K27M or BRAFV600 mutations. Poly adenosine diphosphate (ADP) ribose polymerases (PARPs) are proteins that help repair DNA mutations. PARP inhibitors, such as veliparib, can keep PARP from working, so tumor cells can't repair themselves, and they may stop growing. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping...
