Summary
This trial is testing if adding nivolumab to radiation therapy and bevacizumab improves treatment for recurrent glioblastoma.
Who is the study for?
Adults with confirmed grade IV glioblastoma, IDH wildtype, MGMT hypermethylation, who've had surgery and chemo with temozolomide followed by radiation. They must show signs of recurrence but have a relatively small tumor (≤5cm), good performance status, and normal organ function. Excluded are those with multiple recurrences, certain heart conditions or infections, active autoimmune diseases requiring recent treatment, pregnancy/breastfeeding intentions within trial period, MRI incompatibility or prior treatments conflicting with the study drugs.
What is being tested?
The trial tests if adding nivolumab to standard re-irradiation therapy and bevacizumab improves outcomes for recurrent glioblastoma patients. It's exploring whether this combination can better control tumor growth compared to current methods.
What are the potential side effects?
Nivolumab may cause immune-related issues like inflammation in organs; bevacizumab might lead to bleeding or blood clots. Both can result in fatigue and infusion reactions among other side effects.
