Summary

This study tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to standard treatment (chemotherapy plus a device that sends electric fields to the brain) can help people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. About 40 adults with good physical function are participating. The main goal is to see if this combination delays cancer growth or death compared to past results.
