Adult glioblastoma

This study tests a new approach for people with a recently removed glioblastoma (a fast-growing brain tumor). Doctors take some of the patient's own blood stem cells, add a protective gene (P140K MGMT) to them, and return them to the patient. This allows the use of higher doses o…

This study tests a new drug, TLX101-Tx, that delivers radiation directly to glioblastoma cells. It is combined with standard chemotherapy (lomustine) and compared to chemotherapy alone in 50 adults whose brain cancer has returned after initial treatment. The goal is to see if the…

This study tests whether adding the drug ruxolitinib to standard treatment (radiation and temozolomide) helps people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma live longer. About 190 adults will be randomly assigned to receive either the standard treatment alone or standard treatment plus…

This study is tracking 600 people with brain tumors who receive GammaTile therapy during surgery. GammaTile is a device that delivers radiation directly to the tumor site to help prevent regrowth. Researchers are measuring how long tumors stay under control and how patients feel …

This study is for adults with recurrent glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. It tests whether adding a precise type of radiation (stereotactic radiosurgery guided by a special PET scan) to a device that delivers electric fields to the brain (TTFields) helps people live longe…

This early-phase trial tests a personalized RNA vaccine made from each patient's own tumor. It aims to teach the immune system to attack the cancer. The study includes adults with glioblastoma and children with high-grade gliomas or medulloblastoma. The main goals are to see if t…

This study tests whether adding the chemotherapy drug capecitabine to the standard temozolomide regimen can help people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma live longer without their tumor growing. About 67 adults who have completed initial radiation and chemo will take both pills a…

This phase III trial is testing whether delivering the drug bevacizumab (Avastin) directly to the brain through a catheter, along with standard chemo and radiation, can help people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma live longer. The study will enroll 432 adults with this aggressiv…

This study tests a new surgical technique for people with glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. Surgeons place a piece of the patient's own tissue (from the scalp or skull lining) into the area where the tumor was removed. This tissue flap may help bypass the blood-brain barr…

This Phase 3 trial tests whether combining the drug Avastin with a focused ultrasound system (NaviFUS) can improve outcomes for people with recurrent glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. The ultrasound temporarily opens the blood-brain barrier to let more drug reach the tumo…

This study tests whether giving a higher radiation dose to the most aggressive parts of a glioblastoma tumor, as seen on a special FDOPA PET scan, can help people live longer. It includes 75 adults who are too frail for standard treatment or had only a partial surgery or biopsy. …

This study investigates whether a simple smell test could help predict survival and cognitive decline in adults newly diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. Researchers will measure olfactory function at several points during treatment and compare it with surviv…
