Using Pre-operative Stereotactic Radiosurgery to Treat Brain Cancer
This study is about finding the best way to treat cancer that has spread to the brain. The study will help doctors learn if doing SRS before surgery is better, the same, or worse than doing it after surgery. The study will also look at the risks and benefits of both approaches.

Brain Changes after Radiation Treatment for Glioma
Glioma is a type of brain cancer. The purpose of this study is to see if we can predict how brain function will change after radiation treatment for glioma. We will be doing PET scans and blood tests with glioma patients. A PET scan is a type of test that gives us images of your brain and can help detect certain diseases.

Learning More About Treating Low-Grade Glioma with Vinblastine and Selumetinib
The purpose of this study is to learn more about treating low-grade gliomas. We want to find the highest dose of Vinblastine that can be given safely along with Selumetinib. We also want to find out if Selumetinib and Vinblastine combined work better than Selumetinib alone. Studies like this can help improve treatment and quality of life.

Study of Selinexor for Treating High-Grade Glioma in Pediatric Patients
A glioma is a type of cancer that occurs in the brain or spine. Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma is a type of high-grade glioma. The purpose of this study is to look at how well selinexor works when given to children and young adults with high-grade glioma or diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma. We also want to find the highest dose of selinexor that we can give safely along with radiation therapy.

Comparing Radiation Given Before or After Brain Metastases Surgery
The purpose of this study is to find out if giving radiation before surgery can improve the length of time without the cancer in your brain returning or getting worse. We want to see if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach.
Study Topics
Treating Glioblastoma with the Study Drug Dichloroacetate
The purpose of the study is to find out if the study drug, Dichloroacetate, can keep glioblastomas from growing. We want to know if the study drug can help improve the health of patients with glioblastomas that have returned or been difficult to treat.

Finding Therapies that Improve Survival for Patients with Glioblastomas
The purpose of this research is to test multiple study treatments for glioblastoma. We want to find out if any of these study treatments can improve how long patients live.

Learning More About the NeuroBlate System to Treat Cancer that Has Spread to the Brain
The purpose of this study is to better understand how well the NeuroBlate System works for treating brain metastases. The system will be used along with laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT). The NeuroBlate System uses laser light energy to heat and destroy the tumor. The LITT procedure includes a biopsy of brain tissue. The procedures are considered to be minimally invasive.

Comparing Stereotactic Radiosurgery to Whole Brain Radiotherapy
The purpose of this study is to find out if stereotactic radiosurgery can reduce your symptoms and lower the chance of the cancer growing or getting worse. Stereotactic radiosurgery is commonly used to treat brain tumors. It is a one or two-day outpatient procedure. A high dose of radiation is delivered to small spots in the brain not including the normal brain. We want to find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach for cancer that has spread to the brain.

A study on the Effectiveness of Four Drugs (Vismodegib, GSK2256098, capivasertib, abemaciclib) Against Meningioma Tumors
The purpose of this study is to see if tumor genetic testing would be helpful when selecting a treatment for meningioma. The usual treatment for meningioma is the same for all patients and not based on tumor genetic testing. This study will look at the tissue of your tumor to see what types of mutations it has across different types of genes. Study treatment will be based on the type of altered genes in your tumor.

Understanding How to Best Care for Patients in the Brain Tumor Clinic
This study will collect information from patients seen in the Brain Tumor Clinic at Wake Forest Baptist Comprehensive Cancer Center. The database will include the patient's symptoms, condition and response to treatment. The data will be used to understand how we can best care for patients seen in our clinic.

Using Selumetinib for Treating Neurofibromatosis Type 1 and Low-Grade Glioma
The purpose of this study is to see how well a drug called selumetinib works for treating patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 associated low-grade glioma. Low-grade glioma is a type of cancer that affects the nervous system. We also want to see how well selumetinib works at improving vision in patients with low-grade glioma of the optic pathway. The optic pathway includes parts of the eye and brain that help us see.

A Study of Methotrexate in People with Breast, Brain, or Spinal Cord Cancer
Methotrexate is a type of chemotherapy drug. The purpose of this study is to find out how well high-dose Methotrexate works for treating breast cancer that has spread to the membrane that cover the brain and spinal cord. We also want to find out what the side effects of this treatment may be. Methotrexate will be given to study volunteers in the hospital every 2 weeks until there is evidence that the cancer is growing.
