Participate in a Brain Cancer Clinical Trial

Now Recruiting Patients with Recurrent Glioblastoma (GBM)


Trial Information

The purpose of the ReSPECT-GBM Clinical Trial is to assess the safety, tolerability, and distribution of a new medication, rhenium (186Re) obisbemeda, in adults with recurrent glioblastoma after standard surgical, radiation, and/or chemotherapy treatment. ReSPECT-GBM is supported by the U.S. National Institutes of Health / National Cancer Institute.

NATIONAL TRIAL REFERENCE NUMBER

NCT01906385

When speaking with your physician, please have the national trial reference number available.

Phase 1 Patients Treated to Date

29

Phase 2 Patients Treated to Date

21

Single Group

  • All patients who enroll in the trial will receive medication while on the study.
  • All patients will receive a single treatment of rhenium (186Re) obisbemeda.

Phase 1/2

  • Phase 1:  A Phase 1 study of a new medication is usually the first that involves human volunteers who have the disease or condition the investigational medicine is designed to treat.  The primary objective of Phase 1 studies is to identify the highest dose of the new medication that can be safely given without serious side effects.
  • 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 Primary Completion:  January 2025 (the date that the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention and that data for the primary outcome measure were collected)
  • Estimated Study Completion:  January 2025 (the date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events, that is, the last participant’s last visit). 

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.
