Official title Surgical Tissue Flap to Bypass the Blood Brain Barrier in Glioblastoma
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05954858
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- This single center, single arm, open-label, phase 2 study will assess the safety and efficacy of a pedicled temporoparietal fascial (TPF) or pericranial flap into the resection cavity of newly diagnosed glioblastoma multifome (GBM) patients. The objective of the Phase 2 study is to demonstrate that this surgical technique is safe and effective in a human cohort of patients with resected newly diagnosed AA or GBM and may improve progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
