Looking back: does adding a new drug help fight rare brain cancer?

NCT ID NCT06115824

Summary

This completed study looked back at the medical records of 136 patients with a rare brain cancer called primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). Researchers compared two treatment approaches: one using a standard chemotherapy drug (methotrexate) and another combining that same drug with a newer medication (orelabrutinib). The goal was to see if adding the new drug led to better outcomes, like longer survival or more effective tumor shrinkage.
