QUISINOSTAT FOR GLIOBLASTOMA
About The Glioblastoma Clinical Trial
The Ivy Brain Tumor Center at Barrow Neurological Institute, a nonprofit translational research program, is conducting a Phase 0/1b clinical trial to evaluate the investigational study drug Quisinostat in patients with recurrent and newly diagnosed glioblastoma.
The goal of Phase 0 is to confirm that Quisinostat is capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier. Patients with positive results may advance to the 1b expansion phase which combines therapeutic dosing of Quisinostat with standard-of-care fractionated radiotherapy.
The expansion phase will examine progression-free survival and monitor safety and tolerability of Quisinostat in combination with radiation.
- Quisinostat is a second-generation histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, which play a role in regulating gene expression and cell growth

Recurrent and Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma
30 Participants
You may be eligible if:
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a suspected newly diagnosed glioblastoma and plan to follow the standard treatment regimen.
-OR-
- You are 18 years or older
- You have had prior resection (surgical removal) of a diagnosed glioblastoma and followed standard therapy, including temozolomide and fractionated radiotherapy.
- Your doctor has told you that your tumor has recurred (come back) or has progressed (grown or changed) and you require resection with radiation therapy as part of your post-surgical treatment plan.

Phase 0 Clinical Trial: How it works
Once enrolled, a patient receives a short exposure to the experimental therapy days before a planned operation to remove their tumor.
This exposure is enough that when we remove the tumor, our team of experts can answer an important question: Did the treatment penetrate the tumor?
If the drug penetrates the tumor at sufficient levels, the patient may move forward with receiving the treatment in combination with fractionated radiotherapy in the therapeutic expansion phase.
Alternatively, if the treatment has no effect on the tumor, the patient can enroll in another clinical trial without losing time or receiving ineffective treatment.
