A Pilot Study to Evaluate the Immunogenic Effects of Window-of-Opportunity Fractionated Stereotactic Radiotherapy Combined With Atezolizumab for Patients With Newly Diagnosed WHO CNS Grade 4 Glioma (Glioblastoma Multiforme)

NCT ID: NCT05423210Sponsor: Stony Brook UniversityLast updated: 2025-12-22

Summary

This is a single-arm pilot study that will recruit 12 patients with newly diagnosed Glioblastoma, a malignant brain tumor with a poor prognosis. Patients will be treated with fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) for 2 weeks, in addition to two doses of Atezolizumab (Tecentriq), an FDA approved PD- L1 inhibitor drug, 840 mg IV, at the beginning and at the end of the two-week time period, concomitantly with FSRT. After this initial two weeks treatment the patients will undergo craniotomy and maximal safe resection as per normal care for a GB. After surgery patients will follow the normal care for glioblastoma in addition to Atezolizumab 840 mg IV q2 weeks for the duration of adjuvant treatment.

Arms & interventions

  • Combination ProductAtezolizumab + FSRT radiation

    Atezolizumab 840mg IV every 2 weeks Fractionated Stereotactic Radiotherapy

Outcome measures

Primary

  • Number of participants who progress/relapse after surgical resection

    Assess the efficacy of atezolizumab in combination with fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy in the neoadjuvant setting for resectable glioblastoma multiforme

    Time frame: 2 years

  • Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0

    Assess the safety of atezolizumab in combination with fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy in the neoadjuvant setting for resectable glioblastoma multiforme

    Time frame: 30 days after the last dose of atezolizumab
