Brain cancer vaccine trial aims to boost survival

NCT ID NCT02455557

Summary

This study is testing whether adding an experimental vaccine called SurVaxM to standard chemotherapy (temozolomide) can help control a serious brain cancer called glioblastoma. The vaccine is designed to teach the body's immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. The trial will enroll 66 adults with newly diagnosed glioblastoma to see if the combination is safe and can help delay the cancer's return and extend life.
