Post-Surgical Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SRT) Versus GammaTile-ROADS (Radiation One and Done Study)
This trial will be a randomized controlled study comparing the efficacy and safety of
intraoperative radiation therapy using GammaTilesTM (GT) versus SRS 3-4 weeks following
metastatic tumor resection which is the current standard of care.
1. Patients aged 18 years old and above. Eligibility is restricted to this age group
given that the battery of neurocognitive tests utilized in this protocol are not
developed or validated for use in a younger population.
2. One to four newly diagnosed brain metastases, identified on the screening MRI, from an
extracranial primary tumor.
3. One lesion, designated the index lesion, is planned for surgical resection and is to
be between 2.5 cm and 5.0 cm on the screening MRI. Index lesions > 2.0 cm but <2.5 cm
are also eligible if surgery is deemed clinically necessary and appropriate for an
attempted gross total resection by the neurosurgeon.
4. Non-index lesions must measure < 4.0 cm in maximal extent on the screening MRI brain
scan. The unresected lesions will be treated with SRT as outlined in the treatment
section of the concept.
5. All metastases must be located > 5 mm from the optic chiasm and outside the brainstem.
Dural based metastasis are eligible.
6. Previous and/or concurrent treatment with systemic therapies (e.g., chemotherapy,
targeted therapeutics, immunotherapy) is permitted and must follow protocol guidelines
as follows: Systemic therapy is allowed a minimum of one week from last systemic
therapy cycle to surgical resection, and one week after surgical resection to allow a
minimum of one week before starting/resuming systemic therapy, depending on the
specific systemic agent(s), as recommended by medical/neuro-oncology. Systemic therapy
is not allowed 1 day before SRT, the same day as the SRT, or 1 day after the
completion of the SRT or longer, depending on the specific systemic agent(s), as
recommended by medical/neuro-oncology. Agents that are delivered by implant or depot
injections (such as hormonal therapies) are excluded from these restrictions.
7. KPS score of ≥70.
8. Stable systemic disease or reasonable systemic treatment options predicting a life
expectancy of ≥6 months.
9. Ability to complete an MRI of the head with contrast
10. Adequate renal and hepatic function to undergo surgery, in investigators opinion.
11. For women of childbearing potential only, a negative urine or serum pregnancy test
done < 7 days prior to randomization is required. Women must be willing to notify
investigator immediately if they become pregnant at any time during the trial period.
12. Men and women of childbearing potential must be willing to employ adequate
contraception throughout the study and for men for up to 3 months after completing
treatment.
13. Subjects must be fluent in English language to allow for completion of neurocognitive
tests and completion of QOL questionnaires. Non-English speaking subjects are not
permitted to participate given that participation in the real time integrated
neurocognitive function tests is mandatory for all patients. The psychometric
properties for translated tests are either not known or not as robust.
14. Willingness and ability to provide written informed consent and HIPAA authorization
prior to performance of any study-related procedures.
Exclusion Criteria
1. Age <18 years.
2. KPS<70
3. Past radiation or surgical therapy to the index lesion or the newly diagnosed
non-index lesion(s) is exclusionary. However, up to a total of 2 prior courses of SRT
treatment to previously diagnosed lesions are allowed as long as any treated lesions
are were >15mm from the index lesion.
4. Patients with >4 newly diagnosed metastases on screening MRI
5. Pregnant patients.
6. Primary germ cell tumor, small cell carcinoma, or lymphoma.
7. Leptomeningeal metastasis (LMD). Note: For the purposes of exclusion, LMD is a
clinical diagnosis, defined as radiologic or clinical evidence of leptomeningeal
involvement with or without positive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytology.
8. Prior WBRT for brain metastases.
9. Concomitant therapy that, in the investigator's opinion, would interfere with the
evaluation of the safety or efficacy of the study device.
10. Comorbid psychiatric or neurologic disease or injury impacting cognition, in the
opinion of the treating physician, that might impair patient's ability to understand
or comply with the requirements of the study or to provide consent
11. Subjects who, in the investigator's opinion, are unable to understand the protocol or
to give informed consent, have a history of poor cooperation, noncompliance with
medical treatment, or difficulty in returning for follow up care.
1. Age ≥ 18 years.
2. ECOG Performance Score of 2 or better/Karnofsky Performance score of 50-60 or better.
3. Biopsy-proven non-hematopoietic malignancy, except for germ cell cancer. Small cell
lung carcinoma is eligible for this study.

6. No prior SRS to the lesions which will be treated on protocol.
7. Women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception
(hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry, for
the duration of study participation, and for 90 days following completion of therapy.
Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this
study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.
A female of child-bearing potential is any woman (regardless of sexual orientation,
marital status, having undergone a tubal ligation, or remaining celibate by choice)
who meets the following criteria:
• Has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or

Exclusion Criteria:
1. Prior whole brain radiotherapy
2. Patients with leptomeningeal metastasis. (NOTE: For the purposes of exclusion, LMD is
a clinical diagnosis, defined as positive CSF cytology and/or equivocal radiologic or
clinical evidence of leptomeningeal involvement. Patients with leptomeningeal symptoms
in the setting of leptomeningeal enhancement by imaging (MRI) would be considered to
have LMD even in the absence of positive CSF cytology, unless a parenchymal lesion can
adequately explain the neurologic symptoms and/or signs. In contrast, an asymptomatic
or minimally symptomatic patient with mild or nonspecific leptomeningeal enhancement
(MRI) would not be considered to have LMD. In that patient, CSF sampling is not
required to formally exclude LMD, but can be performed at the investigator's
discretion based on level of clinical suspicion.)
3. Patients with life expectancy < 4 months.
4. Psychiatric illness/social situations that, in the opinion of the investigator, would
limit compliance with study requirements.
5. Subjects must not be pregnant or nursing due to the potential for congenital
abnormalities and the potential of this regimen to harm nursing infants.

Testing the Addition of 131I-MIBG or Lorlatinib to Intensive Therapy in People With High-Risk Neuroblastoma (NBL)
This phase III trial studies iobenguane I-131 or lorlatinib and standard therapy in treating
younger patients with newly-diagnosed high-risk neuroblastomaor ganglioneuroblastoma.
Radioactive drugs, such as iobenguane I-131, may carry radiation directly to tumor cells and
not harm normal cells. Lorlatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the
enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving iobenguane I-131 or lorlatinib and standard therapy
may work better compared to lorlatinib and standard therapy alone in treating younger
patients with neuroblastomaor ganglioneuroblastoma.
• Patients must be enrolled on ANBL00B1 (NCT00904241) or APEC14B1 (NCT02402244) prior to

Testing the Addition of the Chemotherapy Drug Lomustine (Gleostine®) to the Usual Treatment (Temozolomide and Radiation Therapy) for Newly Diagnosed MGMT Methylated Glioblastoma
This phase III trial compares the effect of adding lomustine to temozolomide and radiation
therapy versus temozolomide and radiation therapy alone in shrinking or stabilizing newly
diagnosed MGMT methylated glioblastoma. Chemotherapy drugs, such as lomustine and
temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the
cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy
uses high energy photons to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Adding lomustine to usual
treatment of temozolomide and radiation therapy may help shrink and stabilize glioblastoma.
• STEP 1 REGISTRATION: No known IDH mutation. (If tested before step 1 registration,
patients known to have IDH mutation in the tumor on local or other testing are

received by the NYU Center for Biospecimen Research and Development (CBRD) on or
before postoperative calendar day 23. If tissue cannot be received by postoperative
calendar day 23, then patients may NOT enroll on this trial as central pathology
review will not be complete in time for the patient to start treatment no later than 6
weeks following surgery. Results of central pathology review and central MGMT analysis
will generally be conveyed to NRG Oncology within 10 business days of receipt of
tissue. Note: In the event of an additional tumor resection(s), tissue must be

Non-Contrast Perfusion Using Arterial Spin Labeled MR Imaging for Assessment of Therapy Response in Glioblastoma
MRI including ASL will be performed before, during and after the treatment, in a total of 7
MRI sessions until 8 months after the first session. Thereafter, patients will be followed
through standard clinical examinations for the next 3 years or until demise, whichever occurs
first.
Clinically, GBM patients are imaged every 8-weeks, beginning at 10 weeks after the completion
of chemoradiation, since morphological (i.e. size) changes are not anticipated earlier.
However, our preliminary experience and others have shown functional changes including
perfusion and diffusion as early as 3-weeks after the initiation of the treatment . Thus, our
T10, T18, T26 and T34 MRI sessions will be performed along with the clinical imaging
sessions, while the T3 and T6 MRI sessions will be performed additionally for this proposal.
All MR imaging sessions will be scheduled within ±1 or ±2 weeks of the target time period, as
indicated in the table.
MRI including ASL will be performed before, during and after the treatment, in a total of 7
MRI sessions until 8 months after the first session. The research MR imaging may take
approximately an additional 15 minutes per each imaging session. However, the T3, and T6 MR
imaging sessions will be performed additionally for the purpose of this study, with each
taking approximately one hour. Thereafter, patients will be followed through standard
clinical examinations for the next 3 years or until demise, whichever occurs first.

Radiation Therapy With Concomitant and Adjuvant Temozolomide Versus Radiation Therapy With Adjuvant PCV Chemotherapy in Patients With Anaplastic Glioma or Low Grade Glioma
Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy,
such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by
killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether giving
radiation with concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide versus radiation with adjuvant PCV is
more effective in treating anaplastic glioma or low grade glioma.

Response and Biology-Based Risk Factor-Guided Therapy in Treating Younger Patients With Non-high Risk Neuroblastoma
This phase III trial studies how well response and biology-based risk factor-guided therapy
works in treating younger patients with non-high risk neuroblastoma. Sometimes a tumor may
not need treatment until it progresses. In this case, observation may be sufficient.
Measuring biomarkers in tumor cells may help plan when effective treatment is necessary and
what the best treatment is. Response and biology-based risk factor-guided therapy may be
effective in treating patients with non-high risk neuroblastomaand may help to avoid some of
the risks and side effects related to standard treatment.

Inclusion Criteria
1. Biopsy-proven non-hematopoietic malignancy, except for small cell lung cancer, germ
cell cancer, or unknown primary tumor.
2. Radiographic evidence by MRI (or by CT scan with CT contrast if ineligible or
intolerant of MRI) of brain metastasis. (If patient is unable to tolerate MRI

additional brain metastasis that can be targeted with SRS
7. Age ≥ 18 years.
8. ECOG Performance Score of 2 or better/Karnofsky Performance Status score of 50-60 or
better.
9. All men, as well as women of child-bearing potential must agree to use adequate
contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study
entry and for the duration of study participation. Should a woman become pregnant or
suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her
treating physician immediately.

marital status, having undergone a tubal ligation, or remaining celibate by choice)
who meets the following criteria:
• Has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or
• Has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 12 consecutive months (i.e.,

involvement. Patients with leptomeningeal symptoms in the setting of leptomeningeal
enhancement by imaging (MRI) would be considered to have LMD even in the absence of
positive CSF cytology, unless a parenchymal lesion can adequately explain the
neurologic symptoms and/or signs. In contrast, an asymptomatic or minimally
symptomatic patient with mild or nonspecific leptomeningeal enhancement (MRI) would
not be considered to have LMD. In that patient, CSF sampling is not required to
formally exclude LMD, but can be performed at the investigator's discretion based on
level of clinical suspicion.

arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that, in the opinion of the
investigator, would limit compliance with study requirements.
6. Subjects must not be pregnant or nursing at the time of SRS treatment due to the
potential for congenital abnormalities and the potential of this regimen to harm
nursing infants.

Genetic Testing in Guiding Treatment for Patients With BrainMetastases
This phase II trial studies how well genetic testing works in guiding treatment for patients
with solid tumors that have spread to the brain. Several genes have been found to be altered
or mutated in brainmetastases such as NTRK, ROS1, CDK or PI3K. Medications that target these
genes such as abemaciclib, paxalisib, and entrectinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by
blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Genetic testing may help doctors tailor
treatment for each mutation.

A Study of a New Way to Treat Children and Young Adults With a BrainTumor Called NGGCT
This phase II trial studies the best approach to combine chemotherapy and radiation therapy
(RT) based on the patient's response to induction chemotherapy in patients with
non-germinomatous germ cell tumors (NGGCT) that have not spread to other parts of the brainor body (localized). This study has 2 goals: 1) optimizing radiation for patients who respond
well to induction chemotherapy to diminish spinal cord relapses, 2) utilizing higher dose
chemotherapy followed by conventional RT in patients who did not respond to induction
chemotherapy. Chemotherapy drugs, such as carboplatin, etoposide, ifosfamide, and thiotepa,
work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by
stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high
energy x-rays or high-energy protons to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Studies have
shown that patients with newly-diagnosed localized NGGCT, whose disease responds well to
chemotherapy before receiving radiation therapy, are more likely to be free of the disease
for a longer time than are patients for whom the chemotherapy does not efficiently eliminate
or reduce the size of the tumor. The purpose of this study is to see how well the tumors
respond to induction chemotherapy to decide what treatment to give next. Some patients will
be given RT to the spine and a portion of the brain. Others will be given high dose
chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant before RT to the whole brainand spine. Giving
treatment based on the response to induction chemotherapy may lower the side effects of

Testing the Addition of Lenalidomide and Nivolumab to the Usual Treatment for Primary CNS Lymphoma
This phase I trial is to find out the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of
lenalidomide when added to nivolumab and the usual drugs (rituximab and methotrexate) in
patients with primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma. Lenalidomide may stop or slow
primary CNS lymphoma by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth.
Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune
system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and
spread. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer
cells to grow and spread. Methotrexate is frequently combined with other chemotherapy agents
to improve response. This study may help increase the understanding of lenalidomide and
nivolumab use in primary CNS lymphoma treatment. In addition, it may help researchers see
whether the control of CNS lymphoma can be extended by using these study drugs as maintenance
(prolonged therapy) after control is achieved with the initial chemotherapy regimen
(induction).

A Study of the Drugs Selumetinib vs. Carboplatin and Vincristine in Patients With Low-Grade Glioma
This phase III trial compares the effect of selumetinib versus the standard of care treatment
with carboplatin and vincristine (CV) in treating patients with newly diagnosed or previously
untreated low-grade glioma (LGG) that does not have a genetic abnormality called BRAFV600E
mutation and is not associated with systemic neurofibromatosis type 1. Selumetinib works by
blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and may kill tumor cells. Carboplatin and
vincristine are chemotherapy drugs that work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor
cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. The overall goal of
this study is to see if selumetinib works just as well as the standard treatment of CV for
patients with LGG. Another goal of this study is to compare the effects of selumetinib versus
CV in subjects with LGG to find out which is better. Additionally, this trial will also
examine if treatment with selumetinib improves the quality of life for subjects who take it.
