About this study

Official title: The ODYSSEY Study: An Optimization Study Evaluating Safety and Efficacy of the Y-90 Glioblastoma (GBM) Device in Patients With Recurrent GBM

The purpose of this study is to test Y90 glass microspheres for people with recurrent brain cancer. Participation in this study will help researchers find the best dose for the treatment of the disease. The study will look at the safety of the Y90 glass microsphere device and if it works to help stop the growth of the tumor.

In this study, the device is delivered directly to the tumor through the blood vessels/arteries using a catheter(s) (a specialized tubing). The device (very small glass beads) gives radiation directly to the tumor and nearby area.

Although radiation is a standard treatment for most types of brain cancer, the delivery of radiation using the Y90 glass microsphere device differs and is an investigational procedure. To deliver the device a catheter(s) will be inserted through a blood vessel/artery in the forearm or groin, followed by an in-hospital stay after the treatment of up-to 36 hours. Participants will have regular follow-up visits with the study doctor to monitor their health and assess how the tumor responds to treatment. These visits will take place weekly during the first month, monthly for the next five months, and then approximately every two months until one year after treatment.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Device: TheraSphere GBM treatment of TheraSphere GBM deviceDevice

    All patients participating in the study will receive the same device. The study is evaluating the safety and efficacy of the device when it is used to deliver radiation to the area of the brain containing the tumor. The amount of radiation a patient receives depends on the dose group (cohort) to which they are assigned. Patients will be treated in groups of three at each dose level. If a dose level is considered safe, the next group of patients will receive a higher dose

Study groups in NCT07867886
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Y90 GBM Device TreatmentExperimentalSubjects are eligible if each treatment area supplied by a targeted blood vessel (perfused volume, PV) is 150 cc or less, and the total perfused volume does not exceed 400 cc. This is a dose-escalation study designed to determine the safest and most appropriate radiation dose. The planned radiation dose to the treatment area ranges from 60 Gy to 120 Gy. The study will begin at a dose of 60 Gy, with dose increases of 20 Gy for subsequent patient groups. Patients will be treated in groups of three at each dose level. If a particular dose level is found to be safe, the next group of patients may receive the next higher dose level, stay at the same dose level, or de-escalate the dose level depending on the rate of Dose Limiting Toxicities and Data Monitoring Committee determination.
