Official title

A Phase 0 First-In-Human Study Using NU-0129: A Spherical Nucleic Acid (SNA) Gold Nanoparticle Targeting BCL2L12 in Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme or Gliosarcoma Patients

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety of the study drug, NU-0129, based on Spherical Nucleic Acid (SNA) platform when infused in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme or gliosarcoma. The SNA consists of nucleic acids arranged on the surface of a small spherical gold nanoparticle. This is a first-in-human trial to determine the safety of NU-0129. NU-0129 can cross the blood brain barrier (a filtering mechanism that carry blood to the brain). Once within the tumor, the nucleic acid component is able to target a gene called Bcl2L12 that is present in glioblastoma multiforme, and is associated with tumor growth. This gene prevents tumor cells from apoptosis, which is the process of programmed cell death, thus promoting tumor growth. Researchers think that targeting the Bcl2L12 gene with NU-0129 will help stop cancer cells from growing.
