New cocktail aims to shrink brain tumors
NCT ID NCT07604987
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a combination of five drugs (R-PMDT) in 33 people newly diagnosed with primary central nervous system lymphoma, a rare brain cancer. The goal is to see how many patients' tumors shrink or disappear after six cycles of treatment. Researchers will also track how long patients live without the cancer growing and monitor side effects.
