New hope for recurrent glioblastoma: experimental drug LMP744 enters human trials
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study tests a new drug called LMP744 in people whose glioblastoma has come back after standard treatment. The drug is designed to kill cancer cells by blocking a key growth signal and interfering with DNA repair. Participants will receive the drug through a vein for 5 days e…

Sound waves open brain barrier to attack deadly tumor
Disease control Recruiting nowThis Phase 3 trial tests a device called SonoCloud-9, which uses ultrasound to temporarily open the blood-brain barrier, allowing more carboplatin chemotherapy to reach glioblastoma tumors that have returned after initial treatment. About 560 participants will be randomly assigne…

Belly fat graft could outsmart brain Cancer's defenses
Disease control Recruiting nowThis early study tests if a piece of belly tissue placed in the brain during surgery can safely bypass the blood-brain barrier in people with recurrent glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. Ten adults will be followed for 6 months to check for side effects like rapid tumor gr…

Brain cancer breakthrough? new trial delivers drug straight to tumor
Disease control Recruiting nowThis phase III trial is testing whether delivering the drug bevacizumab (Avastin) directly to the brain through a catheter, along with standard chemo and radiation, can help people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma live longer. The study will enroll 432 adults with this aggressiv…

Surgical flap may open door to better brain tumor treatment
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study tests a new surgical technique for people with glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. Surgeons place a piece of the patient's own tissue (from the scalp or skull lining) into the area where the tumor was removed. This tissue flap may help bypass the blood-brain barr…

New hope for glioblastoma: drug infused directly into brain shows promise
Disease control Recruiting nowThis trial tests a new way to treat glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. The drug cetuximab, which blocks a protein that helps tumors grow, is infused directly into the brain's arteries after temporarily opening the blood-brain barrier. Up to 33 newly diagnosed patients will…
