Sequenced or combined dasatinib, quercetin, fisetin, and temozolomide for adults with previously treated glioma and remaining tumor
Official title: MC230715 Pilot Study of the Mechanistic Feedback From CNS Tumors With Latent Residual Disease to Guide Individualized Therapies
Run by Mayo Clinic · NCT07025226 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial will try different sequences or combinations of dasatinib, the plant compounds quercetin and fisetin, and the chemotherapy temozolomide to see if they are safe and help adults with previously treated glioma that still has residual tumor.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (≥18) with previously treated glioma who have radiographic residual disease and tumors that are IDH-mutant or MGMT-methylated, with ECOG 0–2 and adequate blood counts and organ function are the intended candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients whose tumors are not IDH-mutant or not MGMT-methylated, those with very poor performance status or inadequate organ function, or those unable to tolerate the study drugs are unlikely to benefit from this protocol.

What this trial studies
This is an early phase I, single-site trial testing safety, side effects, and initial activity of various sequences and combinations of dasatinib, quercetin, fisetin, and temozolomide in adults with previously treated glioma that has radiographic residual disease. Participants will receive planned drug regimens with imaging and biospecimen collection (including PET and MRI) to monitor response and collect pharmacologic and biological data. Eligible patients must have IDH-mutant or MGMT-methylated glioma, adequate organ function, and ECOG performance status 0–2. The primary focus is on safety and tolerability, with secondary observations about tumor control and biological effects of the combinations.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, these combinations might better control remaining tumor cells and delay disease progression, potentially extending time without worsening of the tumor.
How similar studies have gone: Temozolomide is an established chemotherapy for glioma and dasatinib has shown limited activity in some brain-tumor settings, while using quercetin and fisetin as senolytic agents in cancer treatment is largely experimental, so this specific combination approach is novel.
