Summary

This study is testing a new gene therapy approach for adults with glioblastoma, a fast-growing brain cancer that has returned after standard treatment. The therapy involves injecting a modified virus into the tumor during surgery, followed by taking an oral antiviral drug, radiation, and chemotherapy. The main goals are to see if this combination is safe and if it can help patients live longer.
