Personalized Cancer Stem Cell High-Throughput Drug Screening for Glioblastoma

Study Purpose

Proposed treatment of subjects with newly diagnosed glioblastoma with novel personalized drug regimens identified to be effective in vitro using cancer stem cells derived from their individual tumors, alongside standard of care radiation and TMZ.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT05380349
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Early Phase 1

Additional Details

A panel of FDA approved drugs will be tested by high throughput screening, which is CLIA certified allowing for clinical decisions based on the results, to identify a combination of up to 3 drug candidates for treating individual patients. Lead candidates will be evaluated by pharmacists and a team of physicians, to confirm that prescribed drugs do not utilize pharmacological/ metabolic pathways that are known to increase the likelihood of toxicity, prior to initiating treatment. Investigational drug therapy, targeting CSCs, will be initiated alongside standard of care chemoradiation with TMZ.
