Study Summary

This trial will study a personalized treatment for recurrent glioblastoma, and will aim to see if it is feasible to conduct a larger trial.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with recurrent glioblastoma, not breastfeeding or pregnant, and willing to use contraception. Participants must have a performance status allowing daily activity (ECOG ≤2), be able to undergo brain MRIs, and have tumors suitable for resection. Excluded are those with certain heart, liver, kidney issues; gastrointestinal disorders; active infections; recent investigational drug use; other cancer treatments; or known psychiatric/substance abuse issues.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a personalized treatment regimen based on the genetic profile of each patient's tumor using drugs like Everolimus, Olaparib, Dasatinib, Afatinib, Palbociclib. It's an early-stage study to see if it's feasible to conduct larger trials and gather initial data on these interventions in patients with recurrent glioblastoma.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include fatigue, nausea, diarrhea (specifically from Afatanib), blood cell count changes leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems. There could also be liver function changes and potential heart rhythm abnormalities due to abnormal ECG readings.

What is the intention of this investigation?

"The primary objective of this clinical trial, assessed over a two-year period from initial consent to the end of follow up, is determining the efficacy of personalized GBM treatment based on molecular characterization. Secondary outcomes encompass Quality of Life (QoL) EORTC QLQ BN-20 - a 4 scale module with multiple items and single items rated on a 4 point Likert Scale; Progression free survival (PFS), calculated as time between administration and confirmation by radiographic assessment; and Quality of Life (QoL) EORTC QLQ C30 – an overall quality questionnaire scored on a 7 point"
