G-CSF to reduce side effects during glioblastoma treatment
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether a drug called G-CSF (which helps boost white blood cells) can help people with glioblastoma who are already receiving standard treatment with radiation and chemotherapy (temozolomide). It aims to see if G-CSF can reduce side effects and improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been recently diagnosed with a type of brain tumor called glioblastoma (GBM).
- Your tumor must have a specific genetic marker called MGMT methylation.
- You must be planning to receive the standard treatment: radiation therapy plus the chemotherapy drug temozolomide.
- You must be 18 years old or older and have a good performance status (able to care for yourself).
- You must be able to have repeated brain MRI scans with contrast dye.

This trial tests whether a more focused, stronger dose of radiation can improve outcomes for people 65 and older with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. It compares this approach to standard radiation to see if it's safe and effective.
This trial tests whether customized drug screening on your tumor cells can help doctors choose the best treatment for you. Your tumor cells will be grown in the lab and tested against different drugs to find what works best, combined with short-course radiation therapy.
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation therapy combined with the chemotherapy drug temozolomide for people with glioblastoma. It aims to see if this approach works as well as standard treatment while being more convenient.
This trial tests a new two-part treatment (DB107-RRV and DB107-FC) combined with radiation, with or without the chemotherapy drug temozolomide, for people with newly diagnosed high-grade glioma. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective.
This trial tests whether adding a drug called mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) to standard treatment for newly diagnosed glioblastoma (a serious brain cancer) can help patients live longer and better. You'd receive the usual treatment—radiation and chemotherapy—plus the new drug.
This Phase 1/2 trial tests two experimental treatments delivered through a thin catheter placed in the brain for people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM). The goal is to see whether the treatment can be given safely and whether it may shrink or control the tumor after standard chemotherapy and radiation.
