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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This early-phase trial tests two existing drugs—senicapoc and perampanel—alone and together in 36 adults with newly diagnosed glioblastoma, the most common and aggressive brain cancer. The goal is to find safe doses and see how well the drugs reach the brain and affect tumor cells. Participants receive standard treatment plus the study drugs, with close monitoring for side effects.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
senicapoc and perampanel
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a new treatment combination that slows glioblastoma growth and makes standard therapy more effective.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small trial with only 36 patients. The drugs may not reach the tumor effectively or could cause side effects. Success in this phase does not guarantee benefit in larger trials.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age 18 years or older 2. Presumed GBM as determined by an expert multidisciplinary neuro-oncological tumor board, including participants from neurosurgery, neuro-oncology, neurology, and neuroradiology.

Eligibility for surgical resection and planned postoperative concomitant radiochemotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy according to the Stupp regimen 4. Eligible for safe postponement of surgery for 14 days from enrollment 5. Life expectancy \> 3 months 6. WHO Performance Status ≤ 2. 7. Ability to provide written informed consent. 8. Use of validated anti-conception for fertile female participants in concordance with guidelines provided by the Danish health and medicines authority. 9. Signed written consent form. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Pregnancy or nursing. Fertile female participants will be required to take a validated pregnancy test for evaluation of pregnancy. 2. Previous treatment with or allergic reaction to perampanel or senicapoc. 3. Contraindications for senicapoc or perampanel treatment. 4. Previous malignancy with completion of treatment within five years before inclusion, except for basal cell carcinoma. 5. Concomitant intake of enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs (carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbotal, or primidon). 6. Significant co-morbidities, i.e. 1. Significant liver function impairment (ALAT \> 210 umol/L for men and \> 135 umol/L for women or total bilirubin \> 25 umol/L) 2. Significant renal impairment (eGFR \< 60 mL) 3.

Severe cognitive impairment. 7. Active participation in another therapeutic interventional clinical trial. 8. Any condition that might affect the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of the trial drugs (including malabsorption states as Whipple's disease, short bowel syndrome, etc.).
