High-grade gliomas are the most common and aggressive type of brain cancer. Scientists don't fully understand how they grow and spread, and treatments haven't improved much in recent years. However, it's been discovered that these cancers rely heavily on using glucose to maintain their cancerous traits. In lab tests, drugs from the azole class, which target a key step in glucose metabolism, have shown promise in reducing tumor growth in these cancers. Researchers now want to test two of these drugs, ketoconazole and posaconazole, in patients with recurring high-grade gliomas. A small group of these patients will receive either one or several doses of these drugs before undergoing surgery. During the surgery, doctors will measure how much of the drug is present in the brain. They will also study how the drug affects the tumor, particularly its ability to process glucose. This research aims to provide initial insights into how these drugs work in patients with this type of brain cancer, which could guide future research and treatment strategies.

Eligibility | Inclusion Criteria: - Age =18 years - Evidence of recurrent HGG that in the opinion of the treating team does not represent pseudoprogression and would require surgical resection - Karnofsky Performance Score (KPS) = 60% - ECOG = 2 - Life expectancy greater than 12 weeks - Adequate liver function defined as ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, bilirubin within 1.5x institutional upper limit of normal - Potassium, calcium, and magnesium within normal limits (PCZ cohort) - Adequate renal function defined as eGFR levels within 1.5x the institutional upper limit of normal (only for KCZ cohort) - Ability to swallow medication - Women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) for the duration of study participation. - Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent document - Be able to comply with treatment plan, study procedures and follow-up examinations Exclusion Criteria: - 1. Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents while on study - Patients who have known allergy to KCZ, PCZ, or other azoles - Patients who have previously had a severe side effect, such as agranulocytosis and neutropenia, in conjunction with previous azole class drugs for a parasitic infection - Patients with a history of acute or chronic hepatitis - Patients with liver enzymes (ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, Bilirubin) >1.5x above normal range for the laboratory performing the test - ECG with QT > 450 msec (PCZ cohort) - Patients taking drugs known to prolong the QT interval (PCZ cohort) - Patients who are taking metronidazole and cannot be safely moved to a different antibiotic greater than 7 days prior to starting KCZ therapy - Patients who have taken any azoles within the last 3 months - Patients who are taking any anti-convulsant medication that interferes with the cytochrome P450 pathway (e.g. phenytoin, phenobarbital, carbamazepine, etc.) and who cannot be switched to alternative medications such as keppra (levetiracetam) - Uncontrolled intercurrent illness such as chronic hepatitis, acute hepatitis, or psychiatric illness/social situation that would limit compliance with study requirements - Patients with a history of Addison's disease or other forms of adrenal insufficiency - Patient with little or no stomach acid production (achlorhydria) are excluded from the KCZ cohort - Pregnant and breast feeding women - Patients with a history of any medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that in the opinion of the investigator may increase the risks associated with the study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of the results. - Patients who are not available for follow-up assessments or unable to comply with study requirements. - Patients who are currently taking medications that induce the metabolism of KCZ or PCZ, such as isoniazid, nevirapine, rifamycins (such as rifabutin, rifampin), St. John's wort, among others (see section 5.3 for full details). - Patients who are currently taking medications for which the metabolism may be affected by KCZ or PCZ, which include but are not limited to: benzodiazepines (such as alprazolam, midazolam, triazolam), domperidone, eletriptan, eplerenone, ergot drugs (such as ergotamine), nisoldipine, drugs used to treat erectile dysfunction-ED or pulmonary hypertension (such as sildenafil, tadalafil), some drugs used to treat seizures (such as carbamazepine, phenytoin), some statin drugs (such as atorvastatin, lovastatin, simvastatin) |
