The Effectiveness of HP and TMZ Synergism on Adult Recurrence GBM

Phase 2

Conditions
Glioblastoma Multiforme

Registration Number
NCT06218524
Lead Sponsor
Southern Medical University, China
Brief Summary

The study of investigators indicated that TMZ can up-regulate dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) expression, and mediates Ferroptosis inhibition and chemoresistance of GBM. The clinical data also proved that the DRD2 expression in recurrent GBM is significantly higher than that in primary GBM. Moreover, the DRD2 antagonist haloperidol can attenuate the above function of DRD2, and increase the sensitivity of GBM to the TMZ by inducing fatal autophagy and ferroptosis. In xenograft mice, the combined usage of haloperidol and Temozolomide (TMZ) can significantly inhibit tumor growth and increase overall survival. The investigators' findings have been published in Clinical cancer research. Haloperidol known as a butylbenzene antipsychotic drug, has been widely used in several kinds of mental illnesses, such as depression, schizophrenia, and Bipolar disorder. And the safe dosage of the haloperidol is clear so far. So in this study, the investigators will recruit the patients who suffered from recurrent GBM, and evaluate the effectiveness of single TMZ chemotherapy or combined with haloperidol.
