This study aims to determine whether tumor genetic testing would be helpful in guiding treatment for patients with a meningioma that has gotten bigger or grown back after treatment. Meningiomas are tumors that grow on the covering of the brain. Therapy for meningioma is currently the same for all patients and is not based on tumor genetic testing. This study will evaluate the effects of 4 drugs (vismodegib, GSK2256098, capivasertib, and abemaciclib) against meningioma tumors with altered genes. Researchers have looked at the DNA material (genes) that can be affected in meningioma and have found several genes that are altered (mutated). These include the genes called SMO, PTCH1, NF2, AKT1, PIK3CA, and PTEN. When these genes are altered, it can cause a tumor to grow. The 4 drugs used in this study are intended to target the altered genes. The use of vismodegib, GSK2256098, capivasertib, and abemaciclib is investigational.
