Summary

This trial tests a drug/radiation combo to treat glioblastoma, a hard-to-treat brain tumor. The drug targets a specific pathway to stop growth, and radiation prevents the tumor from growing. This may extend survival.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with newly diagnosed, histologically confirmed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), IDH wild-type. Participants must have certain blood and organ function levels within normal ranges and be able to undergo MRI with contrast. Women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use contraception during the study.
What is being tested?
The trial examines how well WP1066, a STAT3 inhibitor, works alongside radiation therapy in treating glioblastoma. It aims to target pathways promoting tumor growth and immune evasion. The effectiveness of this combination treatment on tumor control and survival is being studied.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include typical reactions associated with cancer therapies such as fatigue, nausea, skin irritation from radiation, possible allergic reactions to contrast agents used in MRIs, or specific issues related to the experimental drug WP1066.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Cohort II (WP1066, radiation, surgery)Experimental Treatment5 Interventions
Patients whose tumor was not fully removed at the time of initial surgery receive WP1066 PO for 6 weeks during routine radiation therapy on study. Patients may then undergo possible surgery or open biopsy if eligible, followed by twelve 28-day cycles of WP1066 PO on study. Patients also undergo MRI and collection of blood samples throughout the trial.
Group II: Cohort I (WP1066, radiation)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Patients whose tumor was completely removed at the time of initial surgery receive WP1066 PO for 6 weeks during routine radiation therapy, and then for twelve 28-day cycles on study. Patients also undergo MRI and collection of blood samples throughout the trial.
