Study Summary

This trial will test a combination of two drugs to see if they can help people with a type of brain tumor live longer and improve their quality of life.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults (19+) with high-grade glioma brain tumors that have worsened despite previous treatments including Bevacizumab, radiation, and temozolomide. Participants must be in stable health otherwise, with good organ function and blood counts. Pregnant or nursing women can't join, nor those with recent heart issues or surgeries.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests APG-157 pastilles taken orally three times daily alongside standard Bevacizumab treatment. It aims to assess the combination's impact on tumor progression, patient survival rates, quality of life, and changes observed in imaging studies.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of APG-157 aren't listed here, common risks may include mouth sores from dissolving pastilles and typical Bevacizumab-related side effects like hypertension, bleeding problems, wound healing complications, and potential allergic reactions.
