Identification of Treatment Concentrations of Defactinib or VS-6766 for the Treatment of Patients With Glioblastoma

Exploring safe doses of Defactinib or VS-6766 for glioblastoma patients.

Recruiting
21 years and older
All
Phase N/A
This study aims to find safe and effective doses of two drugs, defactinib and VS-6766, for treating glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer. Researchers are interested in how these drugs work in the brain and their safety. **Glioblastoma** is a fast-growing brain tumor, and these drugs might slow its growth by blocking certain proteins that help tumors grow. **Defactinib** and **VS-6766** are kinase inhibitors, which means they block specific proteins in cells to stop tumor growth. In the study, patients will receive one dose of either defactinib or VS-6766 before planned surgery to remove the tumor. They will need to give blood and tumor tissue samples for research. The study checks how much of the drug gets into the brain and if it affects tumor growth pathways. - **Key Points:** - The study involves a single dose of medication before surgery. - Participants must be over 21 years old and have a good health status. - Patients must not have had major surgery or certain therapies recently and must be able to swallow pills. This study is for adults diagnosed with glioblastoma who meet specific health criteria.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
