PHASE2

Pharmacoscopy for Patients With Refractory Primary Brain Tumors

Sponsor: University of Zurich

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Advanced technology of ex vivo drug profiling referred to as pharmacoscopy may allow to identify novel drugs for the treatment of glioblastoma and other refractory brain tumors at an individual patient level. This personalized therapeutic approach was developed and validated in pre-clinical glioma models. With the current research proposal, we seek to establish feasibility for a clinical interventional trial for patients with refractory primary brain tumors that is based on pharmacoscopy-guided selection of treatment. The study is supported by an unrestricted grant from Anti Cancer Fund.

Interventions

DEVICE

Pharmacoscopy 1.0

The intervention is the submission of freshly obtained surgical material to ex vivo drug profiling which we term pharmacoscopy (PCY). The performance study is interventional as the test results shall influence patient management decisions and/or may be used to guide treatment.
