Trials for MGMT Positive Patients
Alkylating agent
OKN-007 + Temozolomide for Glioblastoma
This trial is testing if adding the drug OKN-007 to the standard treatment with Temozolomide and radiotherapy can help patients with malignant Glioblastoma, especially those whose cancer has gotten worse after initial treatment. Temozolomide has become a cornerstone in the treatment of glioblastoma, often used in combination with radiotherapy.
PARP Inhibitor
Niraparib + Optune for Glioblastoma
This trial tests niraparib and TTFields in patients with recurrent glioblastoma. The electric fields weaken the cancer cells, and the drug stops them from fixing themselves, leading to cell death. Tumor-Treating Fields (TTFields) is a noninvasive cancer treatment that uses low-intensity alternating electric fields to disrupt cell division and has been FDA-approved for glioblastoma.

Frequently Asked Questions
Introduction to recurrent glioblastoma
What are the top hospitals conducting recurrent glioblastoma research?
In the battle against recurrent glioblastoma, several top hospitals are leading the charge in clinical trials. Boston's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute stands out with an impressive 11 ongoing trials focused on this aggressive brain tumor, alongside a remarkable track record of 65 completed studies dedicated to recurrent glioblastoma. Their groundbreaking research dates back to their first recorded trial in 1998. Meanwhile, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New york City is also making significant contributions with eight active trials and a history of 47 prior studies since their inaugural recurrent glioblastoma trial in 2002.
However, it's not just the East Coast that is pushing boundaries in this field. In St. Louis, Washington University School of Medicine boasts eight ongoing clinical trials for recurrent glioblastoma and has amassed a total of 49 previous studies conducted since recording their first trial for this condition back in 2006. Lenox Hill Brain Tumor Center, located right within New York City itself, may have fewer active trials with five but still plays an important role as they have contributed to fifteen previous investigations into treating recurrent glioblastoma since embarking on their initial study also starting from2006.
On the West Coast, we find another powerhouse institution at work: The University of California San Francisco (UCSF). With five current clinical trials targeting recurrent glioblastoma and twenty-five past endeavors under its belt dating back to their earliest recorded trial for this disease type launched around eighteen years ago during2004.
These hospitals represent beacons of hope for patients battling recurrence of this challenging brain tumor. Through cutting-edge research and innovative treatments offered by these renowned medical centers across different locations nationwide—be it Boston or New York City or even St.Louis or San Francisco—their collective efforts bring us ever closer to finding solutions that can potentially change lives affected by such devastating conditions

These innovative approaches offer hope for patients battling this aggressive form of brain cancer as researchers strive to find effective solutions against recurrent glioblastoma.
What are the most recent clinical trials for recurrent glioblastoma?
Exciting advancements in the field of recurrent glioblastoma research bring new possibilities for patients grappling with this challenging condition. Prominent among these clinical trials is Arm A, a Phase 2 study evaluating the efficacy of autologous treatment specifically designed for recurrent glioblastoma. Additionally, Group A's dose escalation trial aims to explore novel approaches to combat this aggressive form of brain cancer. Another Phase 1 study focuses on participants newly diagnosed with glioblastoma, seeking to understand and address its recurrence patterns. Stratum A enrolls 40 individuals as part of a Phase 2 trial investigating potential treatments for recurrent glioblastoma. Lastly, a groundbreaking Phase 1 trial explores combining standard surgical procedures with intraoperative electrocorticography—an innovative technique that holds promise for managing recurrent glioblastoma cases effectively. These compelling studies inspire hope and serve as beacons on the path towards improved outcomes for those affected by recurrent glioblastoma
What recurrent glioblastoma clinical trials were recently completed?
In the realm of recurrent glioblastoma, several clinical trials have recently concluded, signifying significant strides in understanding and treating this challenging disease.
