Safety study of a glioblastoma device for recurring tumors
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This early study tests whether a device called TheraSphere is safe when delivered into the brain to treat recurrent glioblastoma. It may help patients by trying a targeted treatment approach, while doctors carefully monitor side effects and safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and agree to sign the consent form
- Your expected survival is at least 12 weeks, and you can follow all study visits
- You have confirmed glioblastoma that has come back or grown on MRI and is measurable
- You have had surgery plus radiation and chemotherapy before, with enough time since those treatments
- You must have good blood counts and overall organ health from recent lab tests
- Your brain blood-vessel anatomy must allow a catheter to be safely placed for the planned treatment spots

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a targeted radiation treatment (radioembolization) given through a artery into the brain for glioblastoma that has come back after standard therapy. It may help people whose tumor is in a single, accessible area.
This Phase 1 study tests a personalized immune-cell treatment (CAR-T) made from your own cells to attack a marker called B7-H3 on recurring glioblastoma. It may help shrink or control the tumor, but the main goal is to check safety and how the treatment works.
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.
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.
This Phase 1 study tests the safety and early effectiveness of BEY1107 combined with temozolomide in adults whose glioblastoma has come back or kept growing after standard treatment. If you qualify, you may be able to receive this combination while the researchers closely monitor side effects and tumor response.
This Phase 1 study tests whether adding an immune therapy called retifanlimab to radiation (and a chemotherapy medicine called temozolomide, in some parts of the study) is safe and helpful for newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients after surgery with carmustine wafers. It aims to see how well this combination controls the cancer and what side effects are expected.
