Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18–70 with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma, a Karnofsky Performance Status ≥60, estimated survival of at least 3 months, and adequate organ function who can consent and comply with study procedures are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients with poor performance status (KPS <60), life expectancy under 3 months, significant organ dysfunction, pregnancy, or those outside the 18–70 age range are unlikely to benefit from participation.

What this trial studies

This is an open-label, single-arm Phase I/II trial with a Phase I dose-escalation portion followed by a Phase II dose-expansion portion. Phase I will escalate doses of VRT106 to determine safety, tolerability, and the recommended Phase II dose (RP2D). Phase II will treat additional patients at the RP2D to gather more data on efficacy and safety. Participants receive VRT106 injections and are monitored for tumor response, survival, and adverse events at participating centers in China.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, VRT106 could provide a new treatment option that controls tumor growth or prolongs survival with an acceptable safety profile for patients with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma.

How similar studies have gone: Early-phase injectable or targeted approaches in recurrent glioblastoma have shown limited and variable results, so this approach remains experimental and unproven.
