NCT ID NCT05303467
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 31 times
Summary

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
TheraSphere GBM (Y-90 glass microspheres delivered via device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for recurrent glioblastoma, potentially slowing tumor growth.
What could go wrong
This is a very early Phase 1 safety study with only 36 participants. It is not designed to prove effectiveness, and there are risks of serious side effects like brain radiation necrosis or blood-related toxicities.
