RECRUITING

Surgical Tissue Flap to Bypass the Blood Brain Barrier in Glioblastoma

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This single center, single arm, open-label, phase 2 study will assess the safety and efficacy of a pedicled temporoparietal fascial (TPF) or pericranial flap into the resection cavity of newly diagnosed glioblastoma multifome (GBM) patients. The objective of the Phase 2 study is to demonstrate that this surgical technique is safe and effective in a human cohort of patients with resected newly diagnosed AA or GBM and may improve progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

  16. 9. Males of reproductive potential must be willing to use an acceptable method of birth control to ensure effective contraception with partner.
  17. 10. Able to understand and willing to sign an institutional review board (IRB)- approved written informed consent document (legally authorized representative permitted).
  18. 1. Subject has a histologically confirmed (frozen section) diagnosis of WHO Grade IV glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).
  19. 2. TPFF and/or pericranial flap is technically feasible.
  1. 1. Subject, if female, is pregnant or is breast feeding.
