Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 70 with a confirmed diagnosis of recurrent high-grade glioma and a Karnofsky performance status score of 70 or higher.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with stable disease or those who have not experienced a recurrence of glioblastoma may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This phase 2, open-label, multicenter, single-arm study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sintilimab when combined with Bevacizumab and Temozolomide in patients with recurrent glioblastoma. A total of 30 patients will receive this combination treatment for up to 4 cycles, with Sintilimab continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs. The study focuses on patients with high-grade gliomas who have experienced a recurrence, ensuring they meet specific eligibility criteria related to their health status and prior treatments.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment combination could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with recurrent glioblastoma, potentially improving survival rates.
How similar studies have gone: While this specific combination has not been widely tested, similar approaches using immunotherapy and chemotherapy in glioblastoma have shown promise in other studies.
