Study of treatments for aggressive brain tumor cell damage
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at glioblastoma (GBM), a very aggressive brain tumor, and how “brain cell overload” (glutamate excitotoxicity) may affect tumor growth. It focuses on adults who are planned for complete tumor removal, followed by standard radiation and chemotherapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re an adult (18 or older).
- Your brain lesion is suspected to be glioblastoma (GBM) by your care team.
- Your treatment plan includes complete tumor removal (gross total resection) and then radiation and chemotherapy.
- You can and will sign informed consent (agree to take part).
- You do not have serious liver disease.
- Your blood counts are not too low (hemoglobin is at least 8 mg/dl).
- You are not pregnant.

This Phase 1/2 study tests whether “glutamate inhibitor” medications can be safely added for newly diagnosed glioblastoma, and how they affect treatment outcomes. It’s designed for adults who will also receive the standard chemo‑radiation plan with temozolomide.
This study looks at brain tumor samples from children and young adults after surgery to learn more about the tumors and find better treatments. It may help researchers develop new therapies for these tumors.
This study looks at how different treatments and patient factors affect outcomes in people with glioblastoma, an aggressive type of brain tumor. By joining, you help researchers learn which approaches work best, which could improve care for future patients.
This trial looks at people with glioblastoma (GBM), a fast-growing brain tumor, to better understand it and how treatments might work. You may be able to join if you’re in a good general health range and have not had prior cancer chemotherapy.
This study is for adults with glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer. Researchers want to gather information about patients with this condition to better understand it and possibly improve future care. By joining, you help doctors learn more about glioblastoma.
This study looks at how the brain's protective barrier works in people with glioblastoma. Researchers will study tumor tissue and use special scans to learn more, which might help improve future treatments.
