GDC-0084 in Combination with Trastuzumab for Patients with HER2-Positive Breast Cancer Brain Metastases
This research study is studying a drug called GDC-0084 as a possible treatment for HER2-Positive Breast Cancer. The drugs involved in this study are: - GDC-0084 - Trastuzumab (Herceptin®)

GDC-0084 With Radiation Therapy for People With PIK3CA-Mutated Solid Tumor Brain Metastases or Leptomeningeal Metastases
This study will test the safety of the study drug, GDC-0084, in combination with radiation therapy in people who have solid tumor brain metastases or leptomeningeal metastases. All participants will have cancer with a PIK3CA mutation. The researchers will test increasing doses of GDC-0084 to find the highest dose that causes few or mild side effects in participants. The study will also try to find out if the combination of the study drug with radiation is effective against participants' cancer.

Gene-Modified T Cells With or Without Decitabine in Treating Patients With Advanced Malignancies Expressing NY-ESO-1
This phase I/IIa trial studies the side effects and best dose of gene-modified T cells when given with or without decitabine, and to see how well they work in treating patients with malignancies expressing cancer-testis antigens 1 (NY-ESO-1) gene that have spread to other places in the body (advanced). A T cell is a type of immune cell that can recognize and kill abnormal cells of the body. Placing a modified gene for NY-ESO-1 into the patients' T cells in the laboratory and then giving them back to the patient may help the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells that express NY-ESO-1. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as decitabine, work in different ways to stop the...

Genetically Engineered HSV-1 Phase 1 Study for the Treatment of Recurrent Malignant Glioma
To determine the safety and tolerability of the maximum dose for laboratory engineered Herpes Simplex Virus-1 in patients who would not be eligible for surgical resection of recurrent glioma To determine the safety and tolerability of the maximum dose for laboratory engineered Herpes Simples Virus-1 in patients who would benefit from surgical resection of recurrent glioma

Genetically Modified T-Cells Followed by Aldesleukin in Treating Patients With Stage III-IV Melanoma
This pilot phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of genetically modified T-cells followed by aldesleukin in treating patients with stage III-IV melanoma. T-cells are a type of white blood cell that help the body fight infections. Genes that may help the T-cells recognize melanoma cells are placed into the T-cells in the laboratory. Adding these genes to the T cells may help them kill more tumor cells when they are put back in the body. Aldesleukin may enhance this effect by stimulating white blood cells to kill more melanoma cells.

Genetically Modified T-cells in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Malignant Glioma
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of genetically modified T-cell immunotherapy in treating patients with malignant glioma that has come back (recurrent) or has not responded to therapy (refractory). A T cell is a type of immune cell that can recognize and kill abnormal cells in the body. T cells are taken from the patient's blood and a modified gene is placed into them in the laboratory and this may help them recognize and kill glioma cells. Genetically modified T-cells may also help the body build an immune response against the tumor cells.

Genomic Structural Variation in Cancer Susceptibility
This study will look for new types of gene changes that may be related to cancer in some patients. Some gene changes (mutations) are passed on from parents to offspring (child). Other gene changes are new and are seen for the first time in a child. They are not seen in the parent. Some of these gene changes may cause cancers in the offspring. We will look for gene changes by studying patients with cancer their parents and family members without cancer. In this study, we will be able to find gene changes that occur in the cancer patient but not in the rest of the family. Knowing the role that new gene changes play in cancer risk may help us find people at a higher risk of getting...

GFRα4 CAR T Cells in MTC Patients
This is an open-label phase 1 study to assess the safety and feasibility of autologous T cells expressing a single-chain scFv targeting GFRα4 with tandem TCR/CD3ζ and 4-1BB (TCRζ/4-1BB) co-stimulatory domains (referred to as "CART-GFRa4 cells") in patients with incurable medullary thyroid cancer (MTC).

Glioblastoma Treatment With Irradiation and Olaptesed Pegol (NOX-A12) in MGMT Unmethylated Patients
The purpose of this study is to obtain first, exploratory information on the safety and efficacy of (i) olaptesed pegol in combination with radiation therapy in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma of unmethylated MGMT promoter status either not amenable to resection (biopsy only) or after incomplete tumor resection, and (ii) olaptesed pegol in combination with radiation therapy and bevacizumab in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma of unmethylated MGMT promoter status either not amenable to resection (biopsy only) or after incomplete or complete tumor resection. Further arms are included (i) to establish safety for the combination of olaptesed pegol at three...

Glioma Microenvironment an Exploratory Study
Diffuse glioms are primary brain tumors characterized by infiltrative growth and high heterogeneity, which render the disease mostly incurable. Advances in genetic analysis revealed that molecular and epigenetic alterations predict patients´s overall survival and clinical outcome. However, glioma tumorigenicity is not exclusively caused by its genetic alterations. The crosstalk between tumor cells and the surrounding microenvironment plays a crucial role in modulating glioma growth and aggressiveness. In this sense, to understand the tumor microenvironment would elucidate potential treatment alternatives. The focus will be to evaluate myeloid cells and cytokines levels.
