Gliomas, Malignant

The goal of this observational study is to better understand how the brain changes during the treatment of glioma. In particular, the study looks at changes in important brain areas that are responsible for functions such as movement, language, or sensation, as well as the nerve fiber pathways that connect these areas. The main question this study aims to answer is: How do important brain areas and their connections adapt and reorganize over the course of glioma treatment? Patients with glioma will undergo repeated brain imaging examinations as part of their regular medical care. These images will be analyzed over time to observe changes in brain activity and structure during different stages of therapy. By studying these changes, researchers hope to gain new insights into the brain's ability to adapt (neuroplasticity) throughout the entire course of glioma treatment.

This Phase I/II study evaluates the safety and efficacy of autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) therapy combined with Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) immunotherapy in patients with Advanced Brain Cancer including Gliomas and Meningiomas . Lifileucel (Amtagvi), the first FDA-approved TIL therapy, has demonstrated significant success in treating unresectable or metastatic melanoma by utilizing the patient's own immune cells to combat cancer. This study aims to apply a similar approach to Brain cancer. TILs will be harvested from patients' tumors, expanded in vitro, and infused back into the patients following a non-myeloablative lymphodepletion regimen. Pembrolizumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting the PD-1 receptor on T cells, will be administered to enhance the immune response. The primary endpoint is to determine the objective response rate (ORR) of this combined therapy. Secondary endpoints include disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), duration of response (DOR), and quality of life (QoL). This trial aims to offer a novel, personalized treatment option for patients with limited therapeutic alternatives.
