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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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-phase trial tests a new way to give radiation to people whose glioblastoma (a severe brain cancer) has come back after initial treatment. About 28 adults will receive focused radiation over 1 to 3 weeks, with different schedules to find the safest dose. The goal is to control the tumor and improve survival, but the study is small and exploratory.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Radiation therapy (re-irradiation)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could establish a safer, more effective radiation schedule to control recurrent glioblastoma and potentially extend survival.
What could go wrong
This is a very early phase 1 trial with only 28 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Re-irradiation carries risks of brain damage, and the tumor may still progress.

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

* INCLUSION CRITERIA: * Histologic diagnosis of primary glioblastoma or gliosarcoma of the brain, or secondary glioblastoma of the brain due to transformation from a lower grade to a grade 4 tumor. * Age \>= 18. * KPS \>= 70%. * Previous tumor irradiation to curative-intent doses. * Radiation dose constraints must be achievable based on assessment with MRI and treatment planning CT. * Participants must have adequate organ and marrow function as defined below: * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>= 1,000/microL * Platelets \>= 100,000/microL * Individuals of child-bearing potential (IOCBP) and individuals who can father children must agree to use effective contraception (barrier, hormonal, intrauterine device, surgical sterilization, abstinence) from study entry and through 6 months after the last study treatment (restricted period). Individuals who can father children must not freeze or donate sperm within the same period. * Nursing participants must be willing to discontinue nursing from study treatment initiation through 6 months after the last study treatment. * The ability of a participant to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: * Recent systemic therapy prior to the initiation of the study therapy as follows: * Bevacizumab used for reasons other than tumor progression or symptomatic management within 2 weeks. * Temozolomide within 2 weeks. * Cytotoxic chemotherapy within 3 weeks. * Any investigational agents within 2 weeks. * Participants who are unable to undergo MRI evaluation or receive gadolinium contrast for any reason. * Any prior therapy after surgical re-resection or biopsy within 2 weeks prior to the initiation of the study therapy. * Requiring radiation therapy within 12 months prior to the initiation of study therapy. * History of prior therapy with Novacure TTF, Gliadel wafers, or GammaTile therapy. * Positive beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) pregnancy test performed in individuals of childbearing potential at screening. * Participants with known or suspected radiation sensitivity syndromes. * Uncontrolled intercurrent illness evaluated by medical history and physical exam that are not stable and would potentially increase the risk to the participant.
