SILEVERTINIB (BDTX-1535) FOR HIGH-GRADE GLIOMA AND GLIOBLASTOMA
About the High-Grade Glioma Clinical Trial
The Ivy Brain Tumor Center at Barrow Neurological Institute, a nonprofit translational research program, is conducting a Phase 0/1 clinical trial to evaluate SILEVERTINIB (BDTX-1535), an experimental drug intended to block a key growth signal in patients with recurrent high-grade glioma and newly diagnosed glioblastoma, driven by EGFR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor) genetic aberrations.
This Phase 0/1 clinical trial will assess the drug’s ability to cross the blood-brain barrier in patients with EGFR-altered gliomas and glioblastomas, and measure tumor response to the drug.
The main goal of this study is to evaluate how much SILEVERTINIB (BDTX-1535) accumulates in the tumor tissue of participants. Patients who demonstrate adequate drug penetration may be eligible for continued treatment within the trial’s expansion phase.

SILEVERTINIB (BDTX-1535)
High-Grade Glioma and Glioblastoma
You may be eligible if:
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a histologically diagnosed high-grade glioma (WHO grade 3 or 4), and a biopsy confirmed a recurrence.
- You received previous first-line treatment with standard-of-care radiotherapy and temozolomide.
- You have sufficient archived or biopsy tissue for testing EGFR alterations or fusions.
-OR-
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a suspected newly diagnosed glioblastoma and plan to follow the standard treatment regimen.
- You have sufficient archived or biopsy tissue for testing EGFR alterations or fusions.
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.
