This trial is for adults with newly diagnosed IDH-wildtype glioblastoma. All MGMT methylation groups may qualify. Participants need adequate daily function and must be able to swallow tablets.

The idea: randomly add ruxolitinib to temozolomide chemotherapy and radiation. Ruxolitinib blocks JAK signaling involved in cell growth and inflammation. Initial treatment lasts six weeks, followed by a four-week break and maintenance treatment. Researchers compare survival and assess side effects. The control group receives chemotherapy and radiation without ruxolitinib.

This phase 2 study plans 190 patients. Manmeet Ahluwalia leads two recruiting US sites.
