2. Histologic confirmation of tumor through biopsy or resection AND an interval of at least 90 days between completion of radiotherapy and enrollment.
3. Nuclear medicine imaging, magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy, or MR perfusion imaging consistent with true progressive disease, rather than radiation necrosis obtained within 28 days of enrollment AND an interval of at least 90 days between completion of radiotherapy and enrollment.
- Must have recovered from grade 3+ toxicities of prior therapy and there must be a minimum time of 28 days prior to enrollment from the administration of any investigational agent or prior cytotoxic therapy
- Must not be pregnant (positive pregnancy test) or breastfeeding. Must agree to use of highly effective contraception during radiotherapy treatment and for an additional 6 months. Should a participant become pregnant or suspect that they are pregnant while participating in this study, they should notify the treating physician immediately.
Highly effective and acceptable forms of contraception are:
- Male condom plus spermicide
- Cap plus spermicide
- Diaphragm plus spermicide
- Copper T
- Progesterone T
- Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (e.g., Mirena®)

- Radiation-induced oophorectomy with last menses > 1 year ago
- Chemotherapy-induced menopause with >1 year interval since last menses
- Surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy)
Exclusion Criteria:
- Two or more courses of prior radiotherapy
- Inability to undergo an MRI with contrast
- Leptomeningeal evidence of recurrent disease
- Multi-focal disease
- Any other condition that may put a participant at higher risk, at the discretion of the investigator.
