Summary

This trialstudies a new combo treatment for Glioblastoma, a malignant brain tumor. Patients will receive a 2 week combination of radiotherapy and a drug, then have surgery and continue with the drug.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with a new diagnosis of Glioblastoma Multiforme, a serious brain tumor. They must be candidates for surgery aiming to remove over 80% of the tumor, have good organ function and performance status (ECOG <=2), and not be pregnant. Exclusions include recent other cancers, severe infections or diseases, high steroid use, certain heart conditions, immune system issues like autoimmune disease or prior immunotherapy.
What is being tested?
The study tests Atezolizumab combined with FSRT radiation in treating Glioblastoma before and after surgical removal of the tumor. Patients will receive two doses of Atezolizumab along with two weeks of radiotherapy followed by surgery and then continue Atezolizumab every two weeks during adjuvant treatment.
What are the potential side effects?
Atezolizumab may cause immune-related side effects such as inflammation in various organs including lungs (pneumonitis), liver problems, skin reactions, hormone gland issues (like thyroid dysfunction), infusion reactions; fatigue; possible increased risk of infection.
