Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This single center, single arm, open-label, phase I study will assess the safety of a laparoscopically harvested omental free flap into the resection cavity of recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patients. All participants included in the study will undergo standard surgical resection for diagnosed recurrent GBM. Following the resection, the surgical cavity will be lined with a laparoscopically harvested omental free flap. The participant's dura, bone and scalp will be closed as is customary. The participant will be followed for side effects within 72 hours, 7 days, 30 days, 90 days and 180 days. Risk assessment will include seizure, stroke, infection, tumor progression, and death.

- EXPERIMENTAL
- label
- Laparoscopically harvested omental free flap
- description
- 1. Standard neurosurgical removal of recurrent GBM, 2. Removal of fat from the abdomen called omentum using a camera (laparoscopically), 3. Lining the brain tumor cavity with the piece of omentum, 4. Joining the blood vessels of the omentum to blood vessels in the scalp or neck to ensure that it maintains good blood flow.

Primary outcomes (2)
- measure
- Safety parameter: proportion of patients experiencing rapidly progressive disease as indicated by MRI using RANO Criteria
- timeFrame
- Study Day 1-180
- description
- Increase in tumor size relative to baseline will be measured using RANO and assessed by MRI throughout study at within 72 hours, 7 days, 30 days, 90 days and 180 days. Rapidly progressive disease is defined as 25% growth relative to baseline.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Subject is a male or female 18 years of age or older. 2. Subject is undergoing planned resection of known or suspected GBM. 3. Subject has a Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) 70% or greater. 4. Subject has a life expectancy of at least 6 months, in the opinion of the Investigator. 5. Based on the pre-operative evaluation by neurosurgeon, the subject is a candidate for ≥ 80% resection of enhancing region. 6. Subject must be able to undergo MRI evaluation. 7. Subject meets the following laboratory criteria: 1. White blood count ≥ 3,000/µL 2. Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/µL 3. Platelets ≥ 100,000/µL 4. Hemoglobin \> 10.0 g/dL (transfusion and/or ESA allowed) 5. Total bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) 6. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \< 3 x ULN 7. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine \< 1.5 x ULN 8. Females of reproductive potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test and be willing to use an acceptable method of birth control. 9. Able to understand and willing to sign an institutional review board (IRB)-approved written informed consent document Inclusion criteria considered during surgery: 1. Subject has a histologically confirmed (frozen section) diagnosis of recurrent WHO Grade IV glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). 2. Omental free flap is technically feasible. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Subject, if female, is pregnant or is breast feeding. 2. Subject intends to participate in another clinical trial. 3. Subject intends to undergo treatment with the Gliadel® wafer at the time of this surgery. 4. Subject has an active infection requiring treatment. 5. Subject has radiographic evidence of multi-focal disease or leptomeningeal dissemination. 6. Subject has a history of other malignancy, unless the patient has been disease-free for at least 5 years. Adequately treated basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell skin cancer is acceptable regardless of time, as well as localized prostate carcinoma or cervical carcinoma in situ after curative treatment 7. Subject has a known positive test for human immunodeficiency virus infection, or active hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection. 8. Subject has a history or evidence of any other clinically significant disorder, condition or disease that would pose a risk to subject safety or interfere with the study evaluation, procedures or completion. 9. Subject has had prior abdominal surgery. 10. Subject has severe renal insufficiency rendering gadolinium MRI contraindicated. 11. Subject who are unable to have an MRI scan for any reason.
