doctor and patient reviewing MRI results

National Cancer Institute researchers are conducting a study of patients with IDH-mutated gliomas. This study will test whether stimulating the immune system using the drug nivolumab can shrink recurrent IDH-mutant gliomas with and without hypermutator phenotype or increase the time it takes for them to grow or spread.

What the study involves:

  • Full physical and neurological examination
  • Health and symptoms questionnaire
  • MRIs and laboratory tests
  • Study of tumor tissue from prior surgeries
  • Receive drug nivolumab for up to 20 treatments over 64 weeks
  • Your samples used for genetic and biomarker testing
  • Monitoring calls every six months after treatment
  • Visits every month during treatment and 28, 60, 100 days after treatment
  • All tests, procedures and medications provided at no cost

You can participate if you:

  • Are age 18 or older
  • Are diagnosed with a glioma with IDH1or IDH2 mutation that has returned
  • Do not have hepatitis
  • Are not pregnant or breastfeeding
