Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether adding DOC1021, a personalized dendritic cell vaccine, to standard treatment (surgery, chemo, radiation) improves survival in adults newly diagnosed with glioblastoma. About 180 participants will be randomly assigned to receive the vaccine plus standard care or standard care alone. The study measures overall survival and safety.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

DOC1021 dendritic cell vaccine

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a new treatment option that extends survival for people with glioblastoma, a highly aggressive brain cancer.

What could go wrong

This is a mid-stage trial with 180 participants, so results are not yet proven. The vaccine may not improve survival and could cause side effects like injection reactions or immune-related issues.
