Chlorophyllin for brain radiation damage in glioma patients
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests if chlorophyllin can help manage brain damage caused by radiation therapy in people with diffuse glioma. It may reduce symptoms or prevent them from getting worse.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with a type of brain tumor called diffuse glioma.
- You have brain damage from radiation (radionecrosis) seen on scans, with or without new or worsening symptoms.
- You are able to take care of most daily activities (Karnofsky score of 50 or higher).
- You have not had treatment with the drug bevacizumab before.
- You do not have a brainstem glioma or unclear signs of tumor progression versus radiation damage.

This study uses MRI scans and related brain/cognitive testing while you receive standard chemotherapy and radiation for a high-grade brain tumor. It aims to see how MRI measures and brain testing may relate to your treatment response or brain function.
This trial tests a drug called Avastin (bevacizumab) for people with brain swelling (radionecrosis) after radiation. It's for those whose symptoms don't get better with steroids or come back when steroids are reduced.
This trial tests giving radiation and chemotherapy before surgery for glioblastoma. It aims to see if this approach is safe and may help improve outcomes for patients whose tumor can be completely removed.
This trial tests adding ruxolitinib, a targeted drug, to the standard radiation and chemotherapy for newly diagnosed glioblastoma. It aims to see if this combination helps people live longer without their cancer growing.
This trial tests a precise type of radiation called carbon ion radiotherapy for people with aggressive brain tumors (high-grade gliomas). It aims to see if this treatment is safe and effective for patients who have not had radiation to the head before.
This trial tests if bevacizumab works better than steroids for people with brain swelling caused by radiation. If you have this condition and meet certain health requirements, you may join.
