Chemotherapy administered within 4 weeks (except 6 weeks for nitrosoureas, 12 weeks for an implanted nitrosoureas wafer, and 1 week from metronomic chemotherapy, such as daily temozolomide and etoposide) prior to Day 1 of study treatment, unless the subject has recovered from all expected toxicities from the chemotherapy. 5. (Part 4 Phase 1) Recent nasal or esophageal surgery, history of GI-related medical conditions, or any other condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere or cause undue risk with insertion of NG tube or enteral administration of marizomib through the NG tube. 6. Pregnancy or breast feeding. 7. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection requiring IV antibiotics & psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements, or disorders associated with significant immunocompromised state. 8. Known previous/current malignancy requiring treatment within ≤ 3 years except for cervical carcinoma in situ, squamous or basal cell skin carcinoma, and superficial bladder carcinoma. 9. Any comorbid condition that confounds the ability to interpret data from the study as judged by the Investigator or Medical Monitor. BEV-Specific Concerns (Note: These exclusion criteria apply to the Part 2 Phase 2 portion of the study even though BEV is not administered so that the subject populations among Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, and Part 5 are similar): 10. Any prior history of hypertensive crisis or hypertensive encephalopathy. 11. Systolic blood pressure (BP) > 150 mmHg or diastolic BP > 100 mmHg. 12. Unstable angina. 13. New York Heart Association Grade ≥ II congestive heart failure. 14. History of myocardial infarction within 6 months. 15. Subjects with mean QTcF interval > 500 ms. 16.

The use of full-dose oral or parenteral anticoagulants is permitted as long as the PT or aPTT is within therapeutic limits (according to the medical standard of the enrolling institution) and the subject has been on a stable dose of anticoagulants for at least 2 weeks prior to the first study treatment. 18. Major surgical procedure, open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to Day 1 or anticipation of need for major surgical procedure during course of the study. 19.

One of the few treatment options currently FDA approved for recurrent WHO Grade IV malignant glioma is BEV. Additional treatment options are needed for these subjects. Published literature indicates that targeting the proteasome in glioma cells has shown significant anti-tumor activity. MRZ is a novel, second generation proteasome inhibitor that prevents the breakdown of proteins involved in signal transduction which blocks growth and survival of cancer cells. In-vitro studies of multiple glioma cell lines were highly sensitive to MRZ. MRZ had relatively little effect on neural stem/progenitor cells suggesting minimal neurotoxicity while significantly affecting both malignant glioma stem cells and glioma cell lines. Parts 1 and 2 of this trial have been completed with the Recommended Part 3 (Phase 2) Dose established at 0.8 mg/m2. Part 3 of this trial is enrolling at the MRZ RP2D determined in Phase 1 to assess the combination of MRZ and BEV activity and safety. Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 of this trial have been completed with the Recommended Dose established at 0.8 mg/m2. Part 5 of this trial is enrolling.

Arms

Experimental: Phase 1: MRZ + BEV; Phase 2: MRZ alone

Part1-Phase1: MRZ 10 minute IV infusion on Days 1, 8, and 15 plus BEV IV infusion on Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle. Part2-Phase2: MRZ 10 minute IV infusion administered on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle. Part3-Phase2: All subjects will receive IV MRZ infusion and IV BEV infusion. MRZ will be administered as a 10-minute, IV infusion on Days 1, 8, and 15 of every 28-day cycle using intra-patient dose escalation. Starting dose will be 0.8 mg/m2. Part4- Phase1: All subjects will receive MRZ enterally by NG tube as a bolus on Days 1, 8 and 15 of the first 28-day cycle and BEV IV infusion on Day 15 of the first 28-day cycle. For subsequent 28-day treatment cycles, MRZ will be administered as an IV at the recommended dose and schedule determined in Part 1, with BEV IV on Days 1 and 15. Part5-Phase1: All subjects will receive IV MRZ infusion and IV BEV infusion. MRZ will be administered as a 10-minute, IV infusion at 0.8 mg/m2 on Days 1, 8, and 15 of every 28-day cycle 0.8 mg/m2

Interventions

Drug: - MRZ

MRZ dosing in Phase 1 to range from 0.55 to 0.8 mg/m2. Dose Escalation: MRZ dose-escalation will occur using a standard 3+3 study design. The RP2D of MRZ (0.8.mg/m2) will be used in a two stage design, with fifteen response-evaluable patients entered in the first stage. If 1 or more responses are observed at the MRZ RP2D, then the second stage will be implemented with an additional 15 response-evaluable patients treated.

Drug: - BEV

BEV 10 mg/kg IV infusion administered for all cohorts in Phase 1 only.
