Study Summary

This trial will study the safety and effectiveness of a new drug, AQ4N, for treating Huntington's disease.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with newly diagnosed Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) who can start radiotherapy shortly after surgery or biopsy. Participants need a life expectancy of more than 10 weeks, decent physical function, and must not be pregnant. They should have good organ function and agree to use contraception. Those with other cancers in the last two years, prior brain treatments, or recent investigational therapies cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests AQ4N combined with radiotherapy and Temozolomide in GBM patients. Phase 1b explores safety at different doses; Phase 2a checks both safety and effectiveness at the best dose from Phase 1b.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Specific side effects are not listed but typically include reactions related to drug tolerance levels such as fatigue, nausea, headaches, or potential liver and kidney issues due to medication toxicity.
