Present therapies are inadequate, as evidenced by the low 5-year survival rate for brain cancer patients, with median survival at approximately 12 months. Glioma is the most common form of primary brain cancer, afflicting approximately 7,000 patients in the United States each year. These highly malignant cancers remain a significant unmet clinical need in oncology. GBM often has a high expression EFGR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor) which is blocked by Cetuximab (CTX). The investigators have recently completed a separate Phase I clinical trial using superselective intra-arterial cerebral infusion (SIACI) of CTX after blood brain barrier disruption (BBBD) for recurrent GBM (Chakraborty et al, in revision, Journal of Neurooncology). The investigators found that intra-arterial infusion of CTX is well tolerated with few adverse effects. The investigators hypothesize that in patients with newly diagnosed GBM, repeated SIACI of this drug after BBBD will be safe and efficacious for our patients when combined with standard chemoradiation (STUPP protocol).\n\nThis trial will be a non-randomized open label Phase I\u002FII clinical trial. In addition to standard chemotherapy and radiation therapy (STUPP protocol) the patient will be given CTX intra-arterially after BBBD for a total of three doses at approximately post surgery days 30, 120 and 210.",[173,427,593,27,594,595,596],"Brain Neoplasm","Brain Neoplasm, Malignant","EGFR Gene Overexpression","GBM",[598,599,600],"EGFR","Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor","EGFRvIII",{"date":575,"type":32},{"date":603,"type":4},"2016-06",{"date":605,"type":20},"2029-12",{"name":531,"class":39},{"id":608,"slug":609,"hasResults":12,"nctId":610,"briefTitle":611,"officialTitle":612,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":613,"healthyVolunteers":12,"sex":16,"minAge":17,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":614,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":50,"phases":616,"briefSummary":617,"conditions":618,"keywords":619,"overallStatus":61,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":625,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":626,"startDateStruct":628,"completionDateStruct":630,"leadSponsor":632,"locationsCount":634},"100578155","phase-1-a-study-of-sotorasib-in-people-with-brain-tumors-100578155","NCT06807619","A Study of Sotorasib in People With Brain Tumors","BrainMet ADePPT (Anticancer Drug Penetration Platform Trial)","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Adult patients ≥ 18 years of age with one or more brain tumors planned for neurosurgical resection\u002Fbiopsy\n* Patients with concomitant leptomeningeal metastasis are eligible provided they have parenchymal brain neoplastic disease requiring resection\u002Fbiopsy\n* For all cohorts: no limit on prior CNS radiation or systemic therapyKPS ≥ 60\n* Life expectancy \\>12 weeks\n* Adequate treatment washout period from prior therapies to allow recovery from any prior treatment-related toxicities before enrollment in the judgment of the Investigator\n* Adequate bone marrow, renal, hepatic, and coagulation parameters (obtained ≤7 days prior to the first day of study treatment):\n\n  * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.0 × 10\\^3\u002FμL (granulocyte-colony stimulating factor administration is not allowed within 1 week prior to C1D1)\n  * Platelet count ≥10.0x10\\^4\u002FμL.
