Paxalisib With a High Fat, Low Carb Diet and Metformin for Glioblastoma

Phase 2
Recruiting
Conditions
Glioblastoma
Interventions
Other: Ketogenic Diet
Registration Number
NCT05183204
Lead Sponsor
Weill Medical College of Cornell University
Brief Summary

This study is for patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma, as well as patients who have recurring glioblastoma. Subjects will be given daily paxalisib and metformin while also maintaining a ketogenic diet.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of Paxalisib while maintaining a ketogenic diet (a high fat, low carbohydrate diet) and Metformin (a drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat type 2 diabetes), and to see what effects it has on glioblastoma.

Detailed Description

This is a two stage, two cohort phase 2 trial of a new blood-brain penetrant PI3K/mTOR inhibitor (paxalisib) combined with a ketogenic diet plus metformin in patients with either newly diagnosed MGMT unmethylated glioblastoma or patients with recurrent glioblastoma regardless of MGMT promoter methylation status.
