What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.

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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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-stage trial is testing a personalized cancer vaccine called BreakVax, designed from each patient's own tumor, in combination with standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy drugs. The goal is to see if this multi-pronged approach can safely and effectively boost the immune system's ability to attack glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. The study involves adults with glioblastoma and will first check safety, then look at whether the treatment improves overall survival at 12 months.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
A personalized peptide-based cancer immunotherapy (BreakVax) combined with ipilimumab, pembrolizumab, chemotherapy, losartan, and aspirin
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a new, personalized treatment option for glioblastoma, potentially improving survival by training the immune system to target each patient's unique tumor.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with only 10 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The combination therapy carries risks of immune-related side effects, and manufacturing the personalized vaccine may fail for some patients.

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

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥ 18 years and \< 72 2. Patients with histologically confirmed GBM who have sent 200 mg (approximately) of tumor tissue (fresh tissue immersed in AllProtect then frozen) to BreakBio for analysis. 3. KPS of 80 or greater on day of first dose 4. Patient has adequate organ function on day one of the trial as defined by: * Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR)1 at a healthy adult's normal level: ≤ 3.5 * Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) at the normal level: ≤ 7,000/mm3 * Absolute Lymphocyte Count in normal level: ≥ 1,000/mm3 * Monocytes at normal level: \< 700/mm3 * Platelet count: ≥ 100 x 109/L (without transfusion support in the last two weeks) * Hemoglobin: \> 10.0 g/dL (without transfusion support in the last two weeks) * AST and ALT: ≤ 3 X institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) in the absence of liver mets; AST and/or ALT may be ≤ 5 x ULN in the setting of liver metastases * Total Bilirubin at the normal level: ≤ 1.2mg/dL * Serum creatinine: ≤ 1.5 x institution's ULN * Albumin at the normal level: ≥ 3.4 g/dL * Serum Magnesium at normal level: ≥ 1.7 mg/dL * Pulse oximetry ≥ 92% on room air. 5. Provision of consent for on-treatment biopsy (compulsory) and post-treatment biopsy (optional). 6. Both male and female patients enrolled in this trial must agree to use effective contraception during the course of the trial and for at least 3 months after discontinuing study treatment. Patients and/or partners who are surgically sterile or postmenopausal are exempt from this requirement. 7. Negative pregnancy test ≤ 7 days prior to day one of cycle 1, for women of childbearing potential only. 8. Life expectancy \> 6 months. 9. Willing and able to provide informed consent Exclusion Criteria: 1. Prior exposure to anti PD- 1/PD-L1 agents. 2. Prior exposure to immunosuppressive therapy within the last 12 months prior to enrollment. 3. Receiving or previously receiving oral or IV steroids within 6 weeks of starting study treatment. Currently using or previously used topical steroids within 6 weeks of starting study treatment. Expected to require steroid-containing pre-meds before chemotherapy doses. 4.
