Study Summary

This trial is comparing the effectiveness of cediranib maleate and olaparib vs bevacizumab in treating patients with recurrent glioblastoma.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with recurrent glioblastoma who've had prior radiotherapy and temozolomide treatment. Eligible participants must have stable or decreasing corticosteroid doses, adequate organ function, no severe allergies to the drugs being tested, and not be pregnant or breastfeeding. They should agree to use contraception and have a life expectancy of at least 3 months.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares cediranib maleate plus olaparib against bevacizumab in treating recurrent glioblastoma. Cediranib maleate and olaparib are thought to block enzymes needed for tumor growth, while bevacizumab is an immunotherapy that may inhibit cancer spread.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include high blood pressure, fatigue, risk of bleeding or clotting issues due to blood vessel effects from cediranib/bevacizumab; nausea; diarrhea; low blood counts leading to infection risk; allergic reactions; possible harm to unborn babies.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Arm B (bevacizumab)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients receive bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes every 2 weeks. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Group II: Arm A (olaparib, cediranib maleate)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Patients receive olaparib PO BID and cediranib maleate PO once QD on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What are Bevacizumab's most common applications?

"Bevacizumab is commonly used to treat recurrent platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian cancer. However, this medication can also be helpful for patients with malignant neoplasms, recurrent platinum sensitive primary peritoneal cancer, and locally advanced nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer."

Answered by AI

What other data exists for Bevacizumab?

"At the moment, 565 clinical trials are underway to study Bevacizumab. Of these ongoing studies, 123 have reached Phase 3 status. Many of the Bevacizumab trials are based in Taibei, Taiwan; however, there are a total of 27564 locations worldwide where patients can participate in this research."

Answered by AI

Can people still sign up for this clinical trial?

"No, this trial is not currently active as indicated on clinicaltrials.gov. The last time this study recruited patients was in September of 2017; however, there are 2009 other trials that are actively recruiting right now."

Answered by AI

Could you please tell me how many hospitals are part of this experiment?

"This clinical trial is recruiting patients from 27 different locations, including Smilow Cancer Hospital-Derby Care Center in Derby, University of Colorado Hospital in Aurora, and Smilow Cancer Hospital Care Center at Saint Francis in Hartford."

Answered by AI

Are there negative side effects associated with Bevacizumab?

"There is some evidence to support the safety of Bevacizumab, but not its efficacy, so it received a score of 2."
