What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests a new treatment for aggressive brain tumors (glioblastoma) that uses a radioactive substance attached to a targeting molecule. The therapy is given directly into the tumor area after standard treatments like surgery and chemotherapy. The goal is to see if it can help people live longer and keep the tumor from growing back. The study involves 35 adults aged 18-80 with high-grade glioma.

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * age 18-80; * histologically confirmed diffuse glioma (CNS WHO G3-G4); * after standard treatment with biopsy or resection, radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy; * no sign of progression or radiation necrosis; * functional state \>70 according to Karnofsky's performance scale (KPS); * ability to give informed consent to participate in the study. Exclusion Criteria: * low-grade glioma; * progression or recurrence defined as: deterioration of the patient's condition according to the Karnofsky Performance Scale, worsening of neurological function, progressive neurological deficit, need to initiate or increase corticosteroid dose by \>50%, progression or recurrence assessed on MRI (RANO criteria); * radiation-induced necrosis secondary to radiotherapy; may occur within the first 3 months after radiotherapy (exception: a patient after resection of radiation necrosis - not earlier than 4 weeks post-surgery, after a follow-up MRI); * need for emergency surgery (e.g., acute increase in intracranial pressure); * significant postoperative complications, e.g., KPS \< 70, wound infection, cerebrospinal fluid leak; * leak into the ventricular system \>10% during the catheter patency check; * open/ventricle-connected resection cavity; * catheter obstruction; * estimated life expectancy under 3 months; * patients without preserved logical/verbal contact; * lack of cooperation from the patient; * inability to give informed, voluntary consent to participate in the study; * patients enrolled in another medical trial; * patients who received any other investigational drug within 1 month prior to the first dose; * prior treatment with \[225Ac\]Ac-DOTA-SP; * breastfeeding or pregnant women; * severe comorbid organ diseases that, in the Investigator's opinion, significantly increase the procedural risk.
