Summary

This study tested a new approach for people whose glioblastoma (a type of brain cancer) has come back after initial treatment. It combined focused radiation therapy with an immunotherapy drug called durvalumab, which helps the immune system fight cancer. The goal was to see if this combination is safe and can help patients live longer. The trial involved 108 adults and compared the combination treatment to radiation alone.
