NCT ID NCT07416188

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This study tests a new drug called LMP744 in people whose glioblastoma has come back after standard treatment. The drug is designed to kill cancer cells by blocking a key growth signal and interfering with DNA repair. Participants will receive the drug through a vein for 5 days each month, and will have surgery to remove tumor tissue for analysis. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors and improve survival.
