Immunotherapy Before and After Surgery for Treatment of Recurrent or Progressive High Grade Glioma in Children and Young Adults

Is NCT04323046 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (May 2026). This Phase 1 trial studies Nivolumab for glioblastoma.

Phase 1RecruitingSabine Mueller, MD, PhDNCT04323046Data as of May 2026

Treatment: NivolumabThis phase I trial studies the side effects of nivolumab before and after surgery in treating children and young adults with high grade glioma that has come back (recurrent) or is increasing in scope or severity (progressive). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
