Study Summary

This trial studies the side effects of MBG453 and spartalizumab when given together with stereotactic radiosurgery in treating patients with recurrent GBM.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with recurrent GBM who've had first-line therapy including surgery, radiation, and Temozolomide. They must have a Karnofsky Performance Status ≥ 70, no more than two recurrences of GBM or gliosarcoma confirmed by biopsy or MRI, normal organ/marrow function, and be able to undergo MRIs. Women must not be pregnant/breastfeeding and use contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests the safety of stereotactic radiosurgery combined with MBG453 and spartalizumab in treating recurrent GBM. It aims to see if this combination can better target cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue compared to current treatments.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include typical reactions from immunotherapy such as fatigue, allergic reactions to the monoclonal antibodies (MBG453 and spartalizumab), inflammation in organs due to immune response, as well as localized effects from the high-dose radiation.
