Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-75 with histologically confirmed glioma who have progressed after first-line therapy and have measurable lesions.

Probably not a fit

Patients who have previously received irinotecan or irinotecan liposomes will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of irinotecan liposomes combined with bevacizumab for patients with progressive or recurrent brain glioma. It is a single-center, single-arm, prospective study focusing on patients who have experienced progression after first-line therapy. The primary goal is to assess the overall response rate (ORR) during treatment, while also monitoring disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DoR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety outcomes.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with recurrent glioma, potentially improving their outcomes.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is exploratory, similar studies combining targeted therapies with chemotherapy have shown promise in treating various cancers.
