Inactive

ClinicalTrials ID:NCT05188508

This clinical trial is testing a combination of three drugs—pembrolizumab, olaparib, and temozolomide—to see if they are safe and effective in treating glioma, a type of brain tumor, that has not responded to previous treatments or has returned after treatment.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of combining pembrolizumab, olaparib, and temozolomide in treating glioma, a type of brain tumor. The study focuses on patients whose glioma has either not responded to previous treatments or has come back after treatment. Researchers aim to determine how well these drugs work together in controlling the disease.
