New drug tested to stop aggressive brain Cancer's return

NCT ID NCT04401774

Summary

This study tested whether the drug nivolumab could safely prevent a type of aggressive brain lymphoma from growing back. It was for patients who had completed initial chemotherapy but still had signs of lingering cancer in their spinal fluid. The goal was to see if this maintenance treatment could clear the remaining cancer markers and keep the disease in remission.
