The Gerald J. Glasser Brain Tumor Center offers patients hope through a robust clinical trial research program. Researchers are working to discover the next generation of brain tumor treatments.
This phase II trial studies how well genetic testing works in guiding treatment for patients with solid tumors that have spread to the brain. These brain metastases often have altered or mutated genes. Medications that target these genes may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
For Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of plixorafenib in participants with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors, or recurrent or progressive primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors harboring BRAF fusions, or in participants with recurrent high-grade glioma (HGG) harboring BRAF V600E mutation. This will be conducted as two single arm open-label subprotocols (F8394-201A; F8394-201B) under one master protocol.

For Newly-Diagnosed Patients with Glioblastoma Multiform (GBM)
For Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma
This phase II study examines immunotherapy drugs ipilimumab and nivolumab in patients with glioblastoma that has recurred and carries a high number of mutations. These immunotherapy medications with monoclonal antibodies may help the body's immune system attack cancerous cells and may interfere with tumor cells’ ability to grow and spread.
Patients Newly Diagnosed H3 K27M-mutant Gliomas
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, international, Phase 3 study in patients with newly diagnosed H3 K27M-mutant diffuse glioma to assess whether treatment with ONC201 following frontline radiotherapy will extend overall survival and progression-free survival in this population. Eligible participants will have histologically diagnosed H3 K27M-mutant diffuse glioma and have completed standard frontline radiotherapy.
