Scientists hunt blood clues in fight against deadly brain cancer

NCT ID NCT04817254

Summary

This study is testing whether adding immune-boosting drugs (nivolumab and ipilimumab) to standard chemotherapy can help people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma, a very aggressive brain cancer. Researchers will track 47 adults who have already had surgery and initial treatment, looking closely at changes in their blood immune cells during therapy. The main goal is to see if these blood changes predict whether patients live longer, which could help identify who benefits most from this type of treatment.
