New device targets recurrent brain tumors in early trial

NCT ID NCT05303467

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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 early study tests a device called TheraSphere GBM in 36 people whose glioblastoma has come back after prior treatment. The device delivers tiny radioactive beads directly to the tumor to try to control it. The main goal is to check if the procedure is safe, not yet whether it works.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
TheraSphere GBM (Y-90 glass microspheres delivered via device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for recurrent glioblastoma, potentially slowing tumor growth.
What could go wrong
This is a very early Phase 1 safety study with only 36 participants. It is not designed to prove effectiveness, and there are risks of serious side effects like brain radiation necrosis or blood-related toxicities.

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

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Subject is 18 years or older and has signed and dated the trial informed consent form (ICF) 2. Life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks 3. Subject is willing and able to comply with the trial testing, procedures, and follow-up schedule 4. History of a histologically confirmed diagnosis of glioblastoma per 2021 WHO criteria 5. Have radiographic evidence of tumor progression/recurrence with measurable disease (≥ 1 cm to ≤ 5cm bidirectional diameters) by contrast-enhancement on MRI, according to RANO criteria 6. Prior surgery and treatment with combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy ± Tumor Treating Fields (Optune®) 7. Prior cranial radiation dose \< 66 Gy 8. WHO performance status ≤ 2 9. The interval since completion of cranial radiotherapy must be \> 6 months, unless there is tissue confirmation of tumor recurrence/progression outside the previous radiation treatment field, in which case the interval since completion of cranial radiation must be at least 12 weeks 10. Interval since last systemic therapy until presumed date of intervention ≥ 1 cycle or ≥ 2 biological half-lives, i.e. 1. ≥ 4 weeks since last dose of temozolomide 2. ≥ 6 weeks since last dose of lomustine or other nitrosourea 3. ≥ 2 weeks since last dose of a small molecule targeted agent (Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor or similar) 4. ≥ 6 weeks from last dose of last intravenous bevacizumab infusion, or other antibody-based VEGF therapy 11. If receiving steroids, patient should be on a stable or decreasing dose equivalent to dexamethasone ≤ 6 mg/d, for at least 7 days prior to registration 12. Have adequate organ and bone marrow function within 14 days prior to registration, as defined below: 1. INR ≤ 1.2 (in absence of anticoagulation) 2. Platelets ≥ 100,000/L 3. Creatinine ≤1.5 mg/dL 4. Absolute Neutrophil Count ≥1.5 x 10\^9/L 5. Hemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL 13. Have a negative pregnancy test within 14 days prior to registration on study (for FOCBP, female of child-bearing potential) 14. Subject is a male or non-pregnant female. If female of child-bearing potential, and if sexually active must be using, or agree to use, a medically acceptable method of birth control as confirmed by the investigator 15. Angiographic Mapping Inclusion Criteria: 1. Accessible neurovascular anatomy that allows for safe microcatheter placement (up to two locations) to infuse TheraSphere GBM to treat all of the T1 enhancing component of target lesion confirmed by neuro-interventional team. 2. Total treatment volume is ≤ 150cc as determined by multidisciplinary team. 16. Additional Inclusion Criteria: 1.

Ongoing or active bacterial or viral infection requiring systemic treatment (including HIV) 5. Pneumonitis 6. Psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements 7. Peripheral Neuropathy ≥ grade 1 8. Any other illness or condition that the treating investigator feels would interfere with study compliance or would compromise the patient's safety, study endpoints or longevity 11. Are currently pregnant or breast feeding (unless patient agrees to stop breastfeeding) 12. Patients with a history of an active other malignancy within 1 year prior to registration. NOTE: Exceptions to this requirement include adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or lentigo maligna or carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease, or recurrent glioblastoma 13.
