Study Summary

This trial is testing a new drug, ACP-196, for people with recurrent GBM.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) who've had prior therapy including temozolomide. Participants should have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks, an ECOG status ≤2, and stable brain disease as seen on MRI. They must not have had more than two systemic therapies for GBM or certain other cancers within the last two years.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests ACP-196's effectiveness in treating GBM that has come back after treatment. It's open-label, meaning everyone knows they're getting ACP-196, and it involves multiple centers to gather diverse data.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects for ACP-196 are not listed here, common ones may include fatigue, headache, nausea, and potential risks associated with immune system changes since it targets cancer cell growth pathways.
