Clinical Trials for Brain Tumor

A Phase 1 and Randomized Phase 2 Trial of Selinexor and Temozolomide in Recurrent Glioblastoma

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

Started >3 years ago

The trial was activated more than 3 years ago. This is not always bad but can indicate that the trial has less current treatments, or has had trouble getting enough patients to enroll due to other issues.

TrialFetch AI summary: Adults with first-recurrent, IDH-wildtype, MGMT promoter–methylated glioblastoma after prior radiotherapy/temozolomide and recurrence surgery/biopsy are randomized to temozolomide alone versus temozolomide followed by selinexor. Selinexor is an oral exportin 1/CRM1 inhibitor intended to restore nuclear retention of tumor suppressor and growth-regulatory proteins.
