Could a daily pastille help fight recurrent brain tumors?
NCT ID NCT06011109
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests whether adding APG-157 (a pastille dissolved in the mouth) to standard bevacizumab can help people with recurrent high-grade glioma. About 30 participants will take APG-157 three times daily while continuing bevacizumab. The study tracks survival, tumor response on scans, and quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- APG-157 (a pastille dissolved in the mouth) plus bevacizumab (standard of care)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this combination could offer a new option to slow tumor growth and improve quality of life for patients with recurrent high-grade glioma.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase pilot study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The added benefit of APG-157 over bevacizumab alone is uncertain, and side effects are not yet well understood.
