ASTROCYTOMA

This early-phase trial tests a new way to give radiation to people whose glioblastoma (a severe brain cancer) has come back after initial treatment. About 28 adults will receive focused radiation over 1 to 3 weeks, with different schedules to find the safest dose. The goal is to …

This study tests whether adding the drug olutasidenib to standard chemotherapy (temozolomide) can help children and young adults with a specific type of brain cancer (IDH1-mutant high-grade glioma) live longer. About 60 participants will receive the combination as maintenance the…

This early-stage trial tests whether a specially engineered herpes virus (G207) is safe to inject directly into the brain tumors of children whose cancer has returned. Up to 24 children aged 3 to 21 will receive the virus, and some will also get a small dose of radiation to help …

This early-phase study tests a new drug called FT536 for adults with a severe type of brain cancer (WHO Grade 4 astrocytoma) that has come back. The drug is injected directly into the tumor during surgery. The main goal is to check safety and find the right dose in 9 participants…

This phase 2 trial tests the drug tuvusertib in 56 adults with recurrent IDH-mutant astrocytoma, a type of brain tumor. Participants take tuvusertib daily for two weeks, then one week off. The main goal is to see if the drug can improve the number of patients whose cancer does no…

This phase 2 trial tests a combination of two drugs—all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and retifanlimab—in 55 people with recurrent IDH-mutant glioma, a type of brain tumor. The goal is to see if the combo can shrink tumors or slow their growth. Participants take ATRA pills for 14 da…

This early-phase trial tests a new approach for people with recurrent high-grade astrocytomas, a type of aggressive brain cancer. During surgery to remove the tumor, doctors inject a modified virus directly into the brain cavity, followed by targeted radiation. The main goal is t…

This study is testing whether the blood thinner apixaban can safely prevent blood clots in people newly diagnosed with a fast-growing brain tumor called grade 4 glioma. About 40 adults will take apixaban while receiving standard radiation and chemotherapy. The main goal is to see…

This study is testing a new virtual therapy program called FearLess, designed to help people with primary malignant brain tumors and their caregivers cope with the intense fear that their cancer might come back. The program involves 8 weekly one-on-one video sessions with a thera…

This study looks at why some people with brain tumors (gliomas) develop low blood cell counts from the drug temozolomide, while others don't. Researchers will analyze genes, gut bacteria, and other factors in 55 patients to find clues. The goal is to help doctors predict and prev…
