Brief Title: Standard Chemotherapy vs. Chemotherapy Guided by Cancer Stem Cell Test in Recurrent Glioblastoma
Official Title: Standard Chemotherapy Versus Chemotherapy Chosen by Cancer Stem Cell Chemosensitivity Testing in the Management of Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM).
Study ID: NCT03632135
Brief Summary: The purpose of this clinical study is to confirm the utility of chemosensitivity tumor testing on cancer stem cells (ChemoID) as a predictor of clinical response in poor prognosis malignant brain tumors such as recurrent glioblastoma (GBM).
Detailed Description: This study is designed as a parallel group randomized controlled clinical trial to determine if recurrent Glioblastoma (GBM) patients treated with drugs predicted by the ChemoID assay will have better outcomes than patients treated with standard-of-care control therapy chosen by the Physician. Upon obtaining informed consent, all eligible participants affected by recurrent GBM will have a tumor biopsy to undergo ChemoID drug response testing with multiple FDA-approved chemotherapeutic agents. Eligible participants will be randomized to a standard treatment arm with control treatment (chemotherapy chosen by the Physician from a provided list), or to a study arm of FDA-approved drugs selected by the ChemoID drug response assay.
