Retifanlimab and Epacadostat in Combination With Radiation and Bevacizumab in Patients With Recurrent Gliomas
In this study, the investigators propose to combine retifanlimab with radiation therapy (RT) and bevacizumab with or without epacadostat in the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma (GBM). The investigators hypothesize that this combination provides a powerful synergy between RT and immune modulators to produce more robust anti-tumor immune response, induce tumor regression and improve overall survival.

Review of Medical Records of Patients Who Have Been Treated With Lutetium at the Cross Cancer Institute Between January 2010 and April 30, 2014
Retrospective review of the medical files of 115 patients with neuroendocrine tumours who were treated with Lutetium-177 DOTA-TATE under Health Canada's Special Access Programme (SAP) at the Cross Cancer Institute between January 2010 and April 30, 2014. Efficacy, safety, and other relevant data will be collected to support a separate clinical trial application.

rhIL-7-hyFc on Increasing Lymphocyte Counts in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Non-severe Lymphopenic Gliomas Following Radiation and Temzolomide
The investigators have developed a phase I/II clinical trial to evaluate the effect of rhIL-7-hyFc on lymphocyte counts in patients with high grade glioma (HGG). A phase I study will test whether rhIL-7-hyFc can be safely administered to patients with HGG. Six doses of rhIL-7-hyFc will be tested using a mix of Accelerated Phase and standard 3+3 dose-escalation design. The phase II portion to test effect of rhIL-7-hyFc on lymphocyte counts will use placebo-controlled randomization in HGG patients whose treatment include the standard radiation therapy (RT) and temozolomide (TMZ).

Ribociclib (LEE011) in Preoperative Glioma and Meningioma Patients
In the proposed trial, patients will be administered ribociclib prior to surgical resection of their tumor. Patients will be enrolled in time-intervals sequentially (non-randomized). All patients will be orally-administered 5 doses of LEE011 (900 mg/d) with the final dose occurring at one of 3 intervals before brain tumor resection.

Riluzole and Sorafenib Tosylate in Treating Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors or Melanoma
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of sorafenib tosylate when given together with riluzole in treating patients with solid tumors or melanoma that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment. Riluzole may stop or slow the growth of tumor cells. Sorafenib tosylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving riluzole together with sorafenib tosylate may kill more tumor cells.

Risk-Adapted Therapy for Young Children With Embryonal Brain Tumors, Choroid Plexus Carcinoma, High Grade Glioma or Ependymoma
RATIONALE: In this study a combination of anti-cancer drugs (chemotherapy) is used to treat brain tumors in young children. Using chemotherapy gives the brain more time to develop before radiation is given. The chemotherapy in this study includes the drug methotrexate. This drug was an important part of the two clinical trials which resulted in the best survival results for children less than 3 years of age with medulloblastoma. Most patients treated on this trial will also receive radiation which is carefully targeted to the area of the tumor. This type of radiation (focal conformal or proton beam radiotherapy) may result in fewer problems with thinking and learning than radiation...

Rituximab and Hyaluronidase Human in Patients With Advanced Melanoma Undergoing Nivolumab and Ipilimumab Therapy
This phase II trial studies whether rituximab and hyaluronidase human (Rituxan Hycela) can prevent immune related adverse events in participants with stage III-IV melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery who are undergoing nivolumab and ipilimumab therapy.

RNA Lipid Particles Targeting Pediatric Recurrent Intracranial Malignancies and Other systEmic Solid Tumors
The Investigators have demonstrated in preclinical studies that RNA liposomes activate APCs, induce antigen-specific T cell immunity, and can supplant DCs in a cell therapy model for HGG and have shown feasibility and activity of this approach in preclinical models and in canine patients with a spontaneous malignant glioma. In one arm of this study, we will investigate the safety and immunologic activity of RNA-LP vaccines in pediatric patients with recurrent pHGG. The investigators have also shown that intravenous administration of tumor mRNA loaded lipid particles (LPs) localizes primarily to lung, transfect antigen presenting cells (APCs) and lead to an activated T cell...
