 Summary: 
 The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about treatment for a type of brain cancer
called glioma. This clinical trial is for people with glioma who have been cancer-free
for a period of time but their cancer has come back. The primary goals of this clinical
trial are the following:
  -  To determine the recommended dose of PCI-24781/Abexinostat with metronomic
     temozolomide
  -  To evaluate side effects associated with using PCI-24781/Abexinostat with metronomic
     temozolomide 
 Detailed description: 
 Patients will be enrolled to each dose level in cohorts of 3. Dose level
escalation/de-escalation will follow Bayesian Optimal Interval (BOIN) design rules based
on analysis of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) that occur within the first cycle of
protocol treatment. Protocol treatment will continue until disease progression or
intolerable toxicity.
Dose Levels:
  -  Dose Level 1: 60 mg PCI-24781/Abexinostat two times daily (BID)
  -  Dose Level 2: 100 mg PCI-24781/Abexinostat BID
  -  Dose Level 3: 140 mg PCI-24781/Abexinostat BID
Primary Objectives
I. To evaluate the toxicities and determine the recommended dose of PCI-24781/Abexinostat
with metronomic temozolomide in subjects with recurrent high grade glioma, [grade III or
IV glioma (glioblastoma, gliosarcoma, anaplastic astrocytoma, anaplastic
oligodendroglioma)].
Secondary Objectives
I. To evaluate changes in the acetylation of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC)
histones H3 and H4 during treatment II. To evaluate for acetylation of histones H3 and H4
using peripheral blood exosomes III. To evaluate progression-free and overall survival of
subjects with recurrent high grade glioma treated with therapy with PCI-24781/Abexinostat
with metronomic temozolomide. Subjects with stable or responsive disease after every 2
cycles will continue on therapy until intolerance or progressive disease.
IV. To descriptively examine quality of life (QOL) using EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire,
QLQ-BN20 questionnaire during treatment.
V. To characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of PCI-24781/Abexinostat, temozolomide, and
the combination of the 2 drugs.
VI. To measure tumor response. VII. To correlate molecular profiles with tumor response. 
 Criteria for eligibility: 
 Criteria: 
  
 Inclusion Criteria:
  1. Patients must have pathologically proven diagnosis of high grade (aka grade III or
     IV) glioma (anaplastic astrocytoma, anaplastic oligodendroglioma, glioblastoma,
     gliosarcoma).
  2. Patients must have received prior radiation therapy and standard temozolomide.
     Patients who have received additional therapies for previous progressions will be
     considered eligible. Prior bevacizumab and Optune are allowed.
  3. Patients must be three or more months from the end of chemoradiotherapy or have
     biopsy or imaging consistent with disease progression.
  4. Physiologic Status/Age: Patients must be 19 years of age or older (the age of
     consent in Nebraska.)
  5. Patients must have recovered from any toxicity of prior therapy that in the opinion
     of the investigator could impact tolerance to the study drug.
  6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0-2.
  7. Patients must have an adequate bone marrow reserve (ANC count ≥1,500/mm3, hemoglobin
     > 8 g/dL, platelet count ≥100,000/mm3).
  8. Patients must have adequate renal function (a serum creatinine that is at or below
     2.0 mg/dL).
  9. Patients must have adequate hepatic function (serum AST and ALT less than 1.5 times
     the upper limits of normal, serum alkaline phosphatase less than 2.5 times the upper
     limits of normal).
 10. The patient must willingly provide written, informed consent after being informed of
     the procedure to be followed, the experimental nature of the therapy, alternatives,
     potential benefits, side-effects, risks, and discomforts.
 11. Women of reproductive potential must be non-pregnant and non-nursing and must agree
     to employ an effective barrier method of birth control throughout the study and for
     up to 6 months following treatment.
 12. Women of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days
     of initiating study. (Non child bearing potential is defined as age 55 years or
     older and no menses for two years or any age with surgical removal of the uterus
     and/or both ovaries).
Exclusion Criteria:
  1. Any life-threatening illness, medical condition, or organ system dysfunction which,
     in the investigator's opinion, could compromise the subject's safety, interfere with
     the absorption or metabolism of oral PCI-24781/Abexinostat, or put the study
     outcomes at undue risk
  2. Significant cardiovascular disease such as uncontrolled or symptomatic arrhythmias,
     congestive heart failure, or myocardial infarction within 6 months of screening, or
     any Class 3 or 4 cardiac disease as defined by the New York Heart Association
     Functional Classification
  3. Malabsorption syndrome, disease significantly affecting gastrointestinal function,
     or resection of the stomach or small bowel or ulcerative colitis, symptomatic
     inflammatory bowel disease, or partial or complete bowel obstruction
  4. Immunotherapy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, corticosteroids (at dosages equivalent to
     prednisone > 20 mg/day) or experimental therapy (other than PCI-24781/Abexinostat
     PO) within 4 weeks before first dose of study drug
  5. Concurrent use of enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs (phenytoin, phenobarbital,
     carbamazepine, felbamate, topiramate and oxcarbazepine).
  6. Any other active malignancy other than nonmelanoma skin cancer or controlled
     prostate cancer
  7. Known history of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) or active infection with
     Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) or Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) or any uncontrolled active
     systemic infection, no testing is required for eligibility
  8. Creatinine > 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN); total bilirubin > 1.5
     x ULN (unless due to Gilbert's disease); and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or
     alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > 2.5 x ULN
  9. Lactating or pregnant
 10. Patients who are currently receiving treatment with any of the medications listed in
     Appendix I and cannot either discontinue this treatment or switch to a different
     medication prior to study enrollment will be excluded from the study.
 11. If baseline ECG has duration of the ventricular action potential corrected for heart
     rate (QTc interval) prolongation based on Fridericia's formula (> 450 ms in males,>
     470 ms in females)
