New drug duo aims to rally immune system against tough brain cancers

NCT ID NCT05345002

Summary

This study is testing whether combining an oral vitamin A-based drug (ATRA) with an immunotherapy (retifanlimab) can help control a specific type of recurrent brain tumor called IDH-mutant glioma. It aims to see if this combination is safe and can stimulate the patient's own immune system to fight the cancer. The trial is for adults whose tumors have grown back after prior chemotherapy.
