Filter by: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.
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.
This randomized phase II clinical trial studies the side effects and how well proton beam or intensity-modulated radiation therapy works in preserving brain function in patients with IDH mutant grade II or III glioma. Proton beam radiation therapy uses tiny charged particles to deliver radiation directly to the tumor and may cause less damage to normal tissue. Intensity-modulated or photon beam radiation therapy uses high-energy x-ray beams shaped to treat the tumor and may also cause less damage to normal tissue. Patients will be more likely to be randomized to proton beam radiation therapy. It is not yet known if proton beam radiation therapy is more effective than photon-based beam intensity-modulated radiation therapy in treating patients with glioma.
The purpose of this research study is to test the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of the combination of three drugs, sorafenib (Nexavar®), valproic acid (Depakote®), and sildenafil (Viagra®), when used to treat high-grade glioma, a type of brain tumor.
