Brain glioblastoma

This early-stage trial tests whether a specially engineered herpes virus (G207) is safe to inject directly into the brain tumors of children whose cancer has returned. Up to 24 children aged 3 to 21 will receive the virus, and some will also get a small dose of radiation to help …

This early-stage trial tests genetically engineered natural killer (NK) cells in 25 people with recurrent glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. The cells are designed to resist the tumor's defenses. The main goal is to find a safe dose and check for side effects, while also w…

This early-stage trial tests a new treatment for glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. Researchers take a patient's own immune cells, modify them in the lab to better recognize and attack the tumor, and then infuse them back. The study involves 20 adults whose tumors have a s…

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 early-stage trial tests an oral drug called GLIX1 in 30 adults with recurrent or progressive high-grade glioma, a fast-growing brain cancer. The study aims to find the safest dose and check for any signs of tumor control. Participants take the drug daily until their disease …

This trial compares a virus-based treatment called lerapolturev to the chemotherapy drug lomustine in adults with recurrent glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. Lerapolturev is injected directly into the tumor and later under the skin around the neck lymph nodes to stimulate…

This early-phase trial is testing whether sitagliptin, a drug used for diabetes, can help treat recurrent grade 4 glioma (a severe brain cancer) when combined with the standard drug bevacizumab. The study involves 45 adults whose cancer has returned after initial treatment. Resea…

This early study tests if a piece of belly tissue placed in the brain during surgery can safely bypass the blood-brain barrier in people with recurrent glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. Ten adults will be followed for 6 months to check for side effects like rapid tumor gr…

This early-stage trial tests a new type of immunotherapy for recurrent glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. Researchers take a patient's own T cells and genetically engineer them to recognize and attack cancer cells that carry a protein called GPC3. The cells also include a …

This early study tests a special helmet that uses focused ultrasound to temporarily open the blood-brain barrier in people with glioblastoma. The goal is to let more chemotherapy reach the tumor. Ten adults who have already had surgery and standard chemo will receive the ultrasou…

This pilot study uses two types of PET scans and a powerful 7Tesla MRI to create a detailed metabolic picture of glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. Researchers will compare scan results with tumor tissue analysis to better understand how the tumor uses energy. The goal is …

This study will collect blood and tumor samples from 1,100 people with various cancers, including head and neck, ovarian, cervical, lung, and brain cancers. Researchers want to learn how immune cells called T cells behave in these tumors. The goal is to better understand why some…
