Can a common diabetes drug help fight aggressive brain tumors?

NCT ID NCT07541781

First seen May 01, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026

Summary

This early-phase trial tests whether sitagliptin, a diabetes medicine, can boost the immune system to fight recurrent grade 4 gliomas (a fast-growing brain cancer). About 45 adults whose cancer has returned after standard treatment will receive sitagliptin combined with bevacizumab. The study aims to find the safest dose and see if the drug reduces certain immune cells that help tumors hide.
