This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of azeliragon when given together with craniospinal irradiation (CSI) and to see how well it works in treating patients with solid tumor cancer or high-grade gliomas that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) filled space that surrounds the brain and spinal cord (leptomeningeal metastasis). Azeliragon is an inhibitor of the receptor for advanced glycation end-products. It works by blocking signals passed from one molecule to another inside a cell. Blocking these signals can affect many functions of the cell, including cell division and cell death, and may kill tumor cells. CSI is a type of radiation therapy that is directed at the brain and spinal cord to kill tumor cells. Giving azeliragon with CSI may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating leptomeningeal metastasis from solid tumor cancer or high-grade gliomas.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine the safety profile of concurrent azeliragon and craniospinal radiation therapy in patients with leptomeningeal disease from a solid tumor or high-grade glioma. (Dose expansion and escalation phase)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To further assess the safety of concurrent azeliragon and craniospinal irradiation in the dose expansion cohort. (Dose expansion phase)
II. To estimate the central nervous system (CNS) progression free survival (CNS PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients treated with concurrent azeliragon and craniospinal radiation. (Dose expansion phase)
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:
I. To assess patient-reported outcomes using MD Anderson Symptom Inventory for brain tumors (MDASI-BT) and MD Anderson Symptom Inventory for spine tumors (MDASI-SP) in dose expansion phase over time.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of azeliragon in combination with CSI followed by a dose-expansion study.
Patients receive azeliragon orally (PO) twice daily (BID) for 1 week followed by azeliragon PO once daily (QD) for 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Starting at week 2, patients also undergo CSI QD (Monday-Friday) for 10 treatments. Additionally, patients undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and CSF sample collection throughout the study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months and then every 6 months for up to 3 years from the end of treatment.
