Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma study: Combinations of up to
Official title Personalized Cancer Stem Cell High-Throughput Drug Screening for Glioblastoma
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05380349
What this study is testing
What is Personalized drug combination (up to 3 FDA‑approved drugs)?
An investigational personalized drug combination being studied as a potential treatment for newly diagnosed glioblastoma.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment. It is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The study wants to see if drugs that work on a patient’s own tumor cells in the lab can help when given with standard radiation and temozolomide (a chemotherapy drug).
- Who it's for
- Adults who have just been diagnosed with glioblastoma and are able to receive standard radiation and temozolomide.
- What's involved
- Researchers will grow cancer stem cells from each participant’s tumor, test many drugs on them, and then give the selected drugs together with the usual radiation and temozolomide. Participants will have regular clinic visits and monitoring tests.
- Time commitment
- Treatment runs for the length of the standard radiation course (about six weeks) with scheduled follow‑up visits during and after therapy.
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
