First seen Feb 25, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 10 times

Summary

This early-phase study tests whether adding the experimental drug ruxolitinib to standard brain cancer treatment (radiation and temozolomide) is safe and tolerable for people with newly diagnosed aggressive brain tumors called grade III gliomas or glioblastoma. Ruxolitinib aims to block cancer cell growth, while temozolomide damages tumor DNA. About 60 participants will receive the combination to find the best dose and monitor side effects.
