Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with Grade IV Glioblastoma, confirmed by specific tests. Participants must have a certain level of physical function (Karnofsky performance status ≥ 60% or ≥ 70%). They should have had an MRI recently and available tumor tissue samples. It's not suitable for those who don't meet these criteria.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing multiple drugs like Lomustine, VAL-083, and Temozolomide alongside Radiation and others in patients with new or recurrent Glioblastoma. It's a global trial that adapts as it learns from the results to find the best treatment options.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include fatigue, nausea, hair loss due to chemotherapy and radiation, neurological changes from disease progression or treatments, liver issues from targeted therapies, and possible allergic reactions.

Active Control
Group I: VT1021 Treatment Arm - Enhanced Safety Management (ESM)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Experimental: VT1021 Treatment Arm - Enhanced Safety Management (ESM) Newly diagnosed MGMT Methylated and Unmethylated GBM: Supplemental safety assessments including bi-weekly collection of adverse events, dose modification profile, hematology, serum chemistry and coagulation panels.

Treatment as outlined in section "Experimental: VT1021 Treatment Arm" with the first 6 patients receiving VT1021 at 12 mg/kg twice weekly in combination with temozolomide and radiation therapy. If there are two dose limiting toxicities reported, the dose will be de-escalated to 9 mg/kg two times a week. 6 patients will then be receiving 9 mg/kg two times a week and observed for DLTs for 4 weeks. Recurrent GBM: Dose Finding Phase is not applicable for patients with Recurrent GBM in the VT1021 treatment arm.
