Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18–80 - NCT06344130RecruitingPhase 1
Shorter radiation for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests a new, shorter course of radiation therapy (called hypofractionation) for people with glioblastoma that has come back. It is for patients who have already had radiation and are doing well enough to consider another round.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06389591RecruitingPhase 1
RNA Vaccine for Recurrent Glioblastoma
This trial tests a new personalized RNA vaccine made from your own tumor tissue. It is designed to help your immune system fight the cancer after it has returned. You will have surgery to collect the tumor, and then the vaccine is given to try to stop the tumor from growing again.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–80 - NCT06069726RecruitingPhase 2
Testing atezolizumab for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests whether the immunotherapy drug atezolizumab can help people with glioblastoma that has come back after initial treatment. You will need to have a biopsy before starting the drug to confirm the tumor has returned.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06558214RecruitingPhase 2
Laser surgery, Optune device, and Keytruda for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests a combination of MRI-guided laser surgery, a wearable device (Optune) that sends electric fields to the brain, and an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab/Keytruda) for people whose glioblastoma has come back. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and works better than standard treatments.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–90 - NCT07551336RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-NK cells for recurrent glioblastoma and high-grade brain tumors
