NCT ID NCT06264388
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This Phase 2 trial tests a two-part treatment for people with recurrent high-grade gliomas, a serious brain cancer. The treatment uses a virus (DB107-RRV) injected into the tumor and a chemotherapy pill (DB107-FC) taken by mouth. The goal is to shrink tumors and slow disease progression. The study enrolls 33 adults aged 18-75 whose cancer has returned after prior treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only โ not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- DB107-RRV (a virus that targets cancer cells) and DB107-FC (a chemotherapy pill)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new way to control recurrent high-grade gliomas, potentially shrinking tumors and extending survival.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 33 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The treatment involves brain surgery and virus injections, which carry risks like infection or inflammation.
