Participate in a Brain Cancer Clinical Trial

Now Recruiting Patients with Recurrent Glioblastoma (GBM)


Trial Information

Plus Therapeutics is developing a new targeted radiation therapy, Rhenium (186Re) Obisbemeda, for central nervous system cancers such as Recurrent Glioblastoma. This clinical trial is for cancer patients with a glioma (type of brain tumor) that has come back after standard treatment options like surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy.

This FDA-approved Phase 2 clinical trial can enroll up to 30-40 patients and is a prospective, multicenter, and open-label trial. In this trial, the study doctor will give Recurrent Glioblastoma patients a single dose of Rhenium (186Re) Obisbemeda, a specially designed radioactive drug.

ReSPECT-GBM is supported by the U.S. National Institutes of Health / National Cancer Institute.

Single Group

  • All patients who enroll in the trial will receive the rhenium (Re186) obisbemeda while on the study.

Phase 2

  • Phase 2:  If a new medication is found to be reasonably safe in a Phase 1 study, it can then be evaluated in a Phase 2 study to determine if it works.  Doctors will assess whether the new medication provides a specific benefit or response, such as tumor shrinkage, improved quality of life, or longer patient survival.

Progress

  • Actual Study Start:  June 3, 2015
  • Estimated Phase Completion:  December 2025 (the date that the last participant in a clinical study is examined or receives an intervention and that data for the primary outcome measure are collected)

Plus Therapeutics is evaluating rhenium (186Re) obisbemeda, a novel radiotherapy for brain cancer patients, in the U.S. NIH-supported ReSPECT-GBM Phase 2 clinical trial.
