Recruiting EARLY_PHASE1 Brain Cancer

New treatment option for Brain Cancer

Official title Window Trial of Fluorescently Labeled Nivolumab-IRDye800 (Nivo800) in High Grade Glioma (HGG)

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07210632

What this study is testing

What is Nivolumab?

Nivolumab is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for brain cancer.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
High-grade gliomas (HGGs) are among the most aggressive and treatment-resistant brain tumors. Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors like nivolumab has shown promise, but its efficacy remains variable and poorly understood in this patient population.
