Experimental drug aims to boost immune attack on aggressive brain tumors
NCT ID NCT07301268
First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests a new drug called GI-102, alone or with the immunotherapy pembrolizumab, given before surgery to people with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma (a fast-growing brain cancer). The goal is to see if these drugs can increase cancer-fighting immune cells inside the tumor and shrink it, making surgery more effective. About 36 adults will take part, and researchers will measure changes in the tumor's immune environment.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
GI-102 (a bispecific fusion protein) and pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy drug)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for recurrent glioblastoma, potentially improving immune response against the tumor.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial (36 participants) focused on immune changes, not yet on survival or cure. The drugs may not work or could cause side effects like immune-related inflammation.
Conditions
