NCT ID NCT02669173
First seen Feb 25, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 11 times
Summary
This early-phase study tested a combination of two drugs (low-dose capecitabine and bevacizumab) in 12 people whose glioblastoma brain tumors had returned or worsened despite prior treatment. The goal was to see if the treatment could reduce certain immune cells (MDSCs) that help tumors hide from the body's defenses. The study focused on safety and on measuring changes in those immune cells, not on curing the disease.
