Brief Title: Cancer Stem Cell High-Throughput Drug Screening Study
Official Title: A Phase 0/1 Study of Combination Drug Therapy For Glioblastoma Based on Personalized Cancer Stem Cell (CSC) High-Throughput Drug Screening (HTS)
Study ID: NCT02654964
Brief Summary: A study to determine the safety of CSC/ HTS-based combination drug therapy in subjects who have GBM that has recurred or progressed following prior radiation therapy and TMZ.
Detailed Description: This protocol describes a prospective single-center Phase 0/1 open-label study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a high-throughput drug sensitivity assay to predict targeted therapies for patients who have GBM that has recurred or progressed following prior radiation therapy and TMZ. The underlying hypothesis is that treatment of patients with up to 3 lead candidates identified from individualized CSC/ HTS assays will safely (1) delay disease progression, and (2) increase survival. There is an abundance of literature strongly supporting the importance of a regimen for targeting CSCs and preventing tumor recurrence, as an additional strategy to improve the overall prognosis of cancer patients.
