The purpose of this study is to determine whether newly diagnosed high-grade glioma(s) that cannot be removed surgically change as a result of the study treatment; and to identify and evaluate the potential side effects (good and bad) of the study treatment in patients with newly diagnosed high-grade glioma(s) that cannot be removed surgically.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Part 1: STARLITE Dose Escalation/De-Escalation Cohort | Experimental | Participants in this group will undergo Magnetic Resonance-guided Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (MR-guided LITT) on Day 0 after stereotactic needle biopsy. On Day 7, participants will begin combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) consisting of Abacavir, Lamivudine, and dose escalation/de-escalation of Ritonavir (RTV), to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of Ritonavir. Participants will receive up to 12 months of ART. Beginning Day 14 through Day 180, participants will receive adjuvant therapy, standard of care consisting of focal radiotherapy and Temozolomide therapy. Participants will receive focal radiotherapy for six weeks (42 days). Participants will be administered Temozolomide up to Day 180. Participants will receive up to 12 months of study therapy, followed by up to 12 months of follow-up. Total participation duration is up to 24 months. |

| Part 2: STARLITE Dose Expansion Cohort | Experimental | Participants in this group will undergo Magnetic Resonance-guided Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (MR-guided LITT) after biopsy on Day 0. On Day 7, participants will begin combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) consisting of Abacavir, Lamivudine, and the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of Ritonavir determined in Part 1. Participants will receive up to 12 months of ART. Beginning Day 14 through Day 180, participants will receive adjuvant therapy, standard of care consisting of focal radiotherapy and Temozolomide therapy. Participants will receive focal radiotherapy for six weeks (42 days), and Temozolomide therapy, during and following radiotherapy up to Day 180. Participants will receive up to 12 months of study therapy, followed by up to 12 months of follow-up. Total participation duration is up to 24 months. Total participation is approximately two years. |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Progression-Free Survival (PFS) | PFS is defined as percentage of participants without disease progression at time of study discontinuation. | Up to 24 months |

Preoperative Karnofsky score ≥ 70 (APPENDIX A).
Patients must have demonstrable normal organ function as defined below within 14 days of surgery.
Patients must be able to understand and sign informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) HLA-B*5701 hypersensitivity (Section 10.1.6.7).
Patients with sensitivity to abacavir, lamivudine, or ritonavir (Section 7.3.1).
Patients with a previous history of HIV infection.

Recurrent HGG.
Presence of current infection, such as sepsis, meningitis, bacteremia, or pneumonia.
Fever within 48 hours of surgery (Temperature> 38.0°C).
Severe co-morbidity that would confer excess risk of surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy, as determined by the treating physician.
Any co-morbidity or psychiatric ailment that in the Investigator's opinion will prevent administration or completion of protocol therapy.
