The short version

This trial is testing a device called GlioHook that surgeons put in place right after they remove a high grade glioma: A tumor that starts in the glial cells, the support cells of the brain and spinal cord. Gliomas are graded 1 to 4 by how fast they tend to grow. See the glossary.

What the trial team says

This is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm, pilot clinical investigation, aimed at evaluating the safety and preliminary efficacy of the GlioHook implant in patients with high-grade glioma undergoing surgical resection followed by standard of care (SoC) treatment. GlioHook is a sterile medical device designed to be implanted after tumour resection surgery in suspected high grade glioma patients, covering the entire surface of the tumour resection margins, decreasing infiltration and focalizing the disease, while improving the effects of radiotherapy. Once implanted, GlioHook exerts a dual mechanism that combines tumour cell focalization and radiosensitization.
