First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 29 times

Summary

This early-stage study tests a method called convection-enhanced delivery (CED) to give the chemotherapy drug topotecan directly to recurrent brain tumors in people with a specific genetic mutation (IDH-mutant malignant glioma). A pump placed under the skin delivers the drug through a thin tube to the tumor over several weeks. The main goal is to check safety, and the study also looks at how well the drug reaches the tumor and whether it slows tumor growth. Only 6 participants will be enrolled.
