First seen Jun 03, 2026 · Last updated Jun 13, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tested a new approach for glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. Doctors injected a light-sensitive drug into the tumor and then activated it with a special laser. The goal was to see if it was safe and could help control the cancer. The trial was stopped early after enrolling only 17 people, so results are limited.
