About this study
Official title: Phase 1/2a Study to Determine the Safety of Intratumoral Infusion of Large Surface Area Microparticle (LSAM)-Cisplatin in Participants With Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG), Including Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG)
Open-label, dose-escalating, Phase 1/2a trial of Large Surface Area Microparticle (LSAM)-Cisplatin to treat participants with diffuse midline glioma (DMG), including diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), via stereotactic infusion under intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guidance.
Read the detailed description
Large Surface Area Microparticle (LSAM)-Cisplatin consists of large surface area microparticles of the chemotherapy drug cisplatin. These microparticles are administered as a single-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided infusion directly into the tumor to target cancer at the site of the disease with less systemic exposure than intravenously administered chemotherapy. In this study, all participants with diffuse midline glioma (DMG), including diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), will receive LSAM-Cisplatin and will be evaluated to determine whether it is safe and has an effect on the tumor.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
LSAM-CisplatinDrug
Participants with diffuse midline glioma (DMG), including diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), will receive a single intratumoral infusion of LSAM-Cisplatin 6 mg/mL via MRI-guided delivery at an infusion rate of 5 µL/min.
Phase 1 (Dose Escalation): Participants will be enrolled sequentially into one of six dose levels. Volumes being delivered will range from 27 to 296 µL over a time period of 5 to 59 minutes.
Phase 2 (Dose Expansion): Participants will receive LSAM-Cisplatin 6 mg/mL at the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) selected based on the safety and tolerability findings from the dose-escalation phase.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| LSAM-Cisplatin 6 mg/mL | Experimental | Phase 1 (Dose Escalation): Intratumoral infusion of LSAM-Cisplatin 6 mg/mL using sequential, dose escalating cohorts.
Phase 2 (Dose Expansion): Intratumoral infusion of LSAM-Cisplatin 6 mg/mL at the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). Receives: Drug: LSAM-Cisplatin |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (Safety and Tolerability)

Measured: Day 1 to Week 24
Secondary outcomes (5)
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
The proportion of participants with overall confirmed response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as determined using Response Assessment in Pediatric Neuro-Oncology (RAPNO)/Response Assessment in Pediatric Neuro-Oncology for Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (RAPNO-DIPG) criteria.
Measured: Weeks 4, 12, and 24
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
Progression-Free survival (PFS) as assessed using Response Assessment in Pediatric Neuro-Oncology (RAPNO)/Response Assessment in Pediatric Neuro-Oncology for Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (RAPNO-DIPG) criteria.

Overall Survival (OS)
Overall survival (OS) as determined by survival time post-infusion of LSAM-Cisplatin.
Measured: Day 1 to Week 24
Concentration of Cisplatin in the Systemic Circulation Post-infusion
Cisplatin concentrations in plasma samples collected pre-infusion of LSAM-Cisplatin, and at 1, 2, 24, and 48 hours after completion of the LSAM-Cisplatin infusion, and at Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8.
Measured: Day 1 to Week 8
Concentration of Cisplatin in the Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Post-infusion

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing LSAM-Cisplatin in people with Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG) and Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), run by NanOlogy, LLC.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Aug 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this combined phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Shelagh Verco, PhD (805-704-1179, shelagh.verco@nanology.us), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (Safety and Tolerability) (time frame: Day 1 to Week 24). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Aug 2026.
