Frequently Asked Questions
Is the eligibility criteria for this research still open?
"Affirmative. The particulars hosted on clinicaltrials.gov attest to the fact that this experiment, which was inaugurated on February 8th 2022, is presently searching for participants. Approximately 37 patients need to be enlisted from 1 medical centre."
Am I eligible to partake in this clinical investigation?
"This investigation necessitates the enrollment of 37 young adults between 12 and 25 with a glioblastoma diagnosis. In order to qualify, applicants must pass all of the following criteria: ALT levels not exceeding 3x upper limit of normal, total bilirubin below 1.5x ULN unless caused by Gilbert's Syndrome/non-hepatic origin; MRI confirmation that tumor has grown or regrown since initial diagnosis (with & without gadolinium); ability to swallow pills; Lansky/Karnofsky performance rate ≥ 50%; creatinine clearance >25 mL/min + ≤1.5x age"
To what ailments does Ibrutinib typically provide relief?
"In addition to its use in treating leukemia, ibrutinib has been demonstrated as a potential remedy for prostate cancer, lung cancers, and small cell lung cancer (SCLC)."
Does this investigation accept participants over the age of thirty?
"This medical trial is only open to patients between the ages of 12 and 25. Alternatively, 568 trials are available for individuals under 18 years old, with 1658 clinical studies aimed at those over 65."
Are there other investigations conducted on Ibrutinib's effectiveness?
"At present, 1130 clinical trials are underway to assess the efficacy of Ibrutinib. Of those, 221 are in phase 3. While many studies originate from Philadelphia (PA), there is a presence for this treatment across 41888 locations worldwide."
What objectives are being sought through this clinical research?
"This medical trial's primary goal, evaluated over the initial three months of intervention, will be to measure Objective Response Rate (ORR). Secondary objectives include determining Complete Response Rate (CRR) by iRANO criteria; assessing whether immunotherapy causes delays in starting subsequent cycles of chemotherapy and finally recording adverse events associated with the treatment regimen."
Has the FDA sanctioned Ibrutinib for therapeutic use?
"Given the lack of safety data and efficacy evidence, our team at Power awarded Ibrutinib a score of 1 on a scale from 1 to 3."
How many participants are currently participating in the study?
"Affirmative. The data on clinicaltrials.gov demonstrates that this research effort, which commenced on February 8th 2022, is still recruiting participants. A total of 37 subjects need to be sourced from one medical centre."
