New hope for aggressive brain cancer: experimental therapy VRT106 enters human trials
NCT ID NCT07093814
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new drug, VRT106, in 42 adults whose glioblastoma (a fast-growing brain tumor) has returned or worsened. The main goals are to check safety, find the best dose, and see if it helps shrink tumors or extend life. Participants receive VRT106 by injection and are closely monitored.

Inclusion Criteria: * Subjects voluntarily participate in the clinical study; fully understand and be informed about the study and sign the ICF; and are willing to follow and have the ability to complete all trial procedures. * Males and females are aged at 18-70 years (including borderline values) at the time of signing the ICF, male or female. * Diagnosed with recurrent/progressive glioblastoma. * Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) score ≥60 within 28 days prior to the first administration of the study drug. * An expected survival time of≥3 months. * Have sufficient organ function. * Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test result within 7 days prior to the first use of the study drug (if a false-positive pregnancy test result is due to non-pregnancy factors such as illness, further testing via ultrasound or other methods is required, and the investigator must confirm the absence of pregnancy before enrollment). * Subjects of childbearing potential (males and females) agree to use effective birth control with their partner from signing informed consent to at least 90 days after the last dose. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with extracranial metastases. * Previously received treatment with oncolytic viruses, gene therapy. * Subject has received treatment with other unlisted clinical investigational drugs/devices within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of VRT106. * Subject is known to have an allergic reaction to any of the components of VRT106. * Patients who can't have a cranial MRI scan. * Women who are breastfeeding.
