Blood test monitoring for glioblastoma treated with chemoradiation and oxygen therapy
This substudy looks at a blood test (liquid biopsy) to track glioblastoma during standard chemoradiation and an experimental oxygen-boosting drug. It aims to see if the test can help monitor the tumor more easily than scans alone.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07409584Recruiting
Mental health in glioblastoma patients
This study looks at mental health and suicidal thoughts in people with glioblastoma after they finish radiotherapy. Understanding these factors can help improve support and care for patients.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT07392957RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing CTX-009 with CTX-471 for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests a combination of two experimental drugs, CTX-009 and CTX-471, for people whose glioblastoma has returned. The goal is to see if these drugs can help control the tumor.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06466031Recruiting
PET/MRI for guiding glioblastoma surgery
This trial tests whether a special PET scan combined with MRI can help guide surgery for glioblastoma. It is for people with a newly diagnosed, single tumor who are candidates for surgery.
Lodz, Łódź VoivodeshipAges 18–70 - NCT07387666RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Imaging a common drug in glioblastoma
This trial uses a special imaging technique to see how the drug Acetadote (often used for acetaminophen overdose) behaves in glioblastoma tumors. It may help doctors learn more about the tumor and could guide future treatments.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07375992Recruiting
Music therapy for newly diagnosed glioblastoma
This trial tests whether attending virtual music therapy sessions can help people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma feel better after chemoradiation. It aims to improve quality of life and emotional well-being.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07538128RecruitingEarly Phase 1
New drug YSCH-01 with immunotherapy for recurrent brain cancer
This early-stage trial tests a new drug called YSCH-01, alone or combined with an immunotherapy drug (atezolizumab), for glioblastoma that has come back after previous treatment. The study places a small tube in the brain to deliver the drug directly and monitors safety and how well it works.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07364786RecruitingPhase 2
Testing Salovum for glioblastoma: oxygen and pressure
This trial tests if Salovum, a special egg yolk product, can improve oxygen levels and reduce pressure and inflammation in the brain for people with a suspected glioblastoma. It involves a biopsy before treatment starts.
LundAges 18–75 - NCT07356973RecruitingPhase 2
Irinotecan chemotherapy seeds for glioblastoma
This trial tests a new way to deliver chemotherapy directly into the brain after surgery for glioblastoma. Tiny seeds containing irinotecan are placed in the tumor cavity during surgery, aiming to kill remaining cancer cells while reducing side effects.
BirminghamAges 18 years+ - NCT03383978RecruitingPhase 1
Test brain injections plus IV antibody for HER2-positive glioblastoma
This early-phase study tests a combination of cells injected directly into the brain and an IV antibody to treat recurrent HER2-positive glioblastoma (or a related tumor, gliosarcoma). It may help by attacking the tumor locally in the brain while the antibody boosts the immune system’s response.
