Glioblastoma study: Troriluzole
Official title A Surgical Window of Opportunity Clinical Trial of Troriluzole in Recurrent IDH Wild-Type Glioblastoma
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06552260
What this study is testing
What is Troriluzole?
This is an investigational oral capsule being studied as a potential treatment for recurrent glioblastoma. It is designed to work by delivering riluzole, a medicine that helps calm overactive nerve signals, into the body.
Also referred to as Trigriluzole, BHV-4157, FC-4157.
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
- This study aims to find out if the drug troriluzole is safe and how much of it the body can handle.
- Who it's for
- The study is looking for adults who have a specific type of brain cancer called glioblastoma that has returned after previous treatment.
- What's involved
- Participants will receive troriluzole, a medication designed to treat the cancer, and undergo regular medical checks to monitor their health.
- Time commitment
- The source text does not specify the total duration of the study or the exact schedule of required visits.
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
