Clinical Trial: Evaluation of Fluoxetine and Cytotoxic Lysosomal Stress in Glioma (FLIRT)
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Primary Brain Tumor
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: A Randomized Surgical Window of Opportunity Study With Dose Escalation to Evaluate Whether Oral Fluoxetine Can Induce Cytotoxic Lysosomal Stress and Enhance Temozolomide Efficacy in Clinical Glioma
Brief Summary:
The purpose of this research study is to determine if fluoxetine increases lysosomal stress in patients with recurrent IDHwt glioma by evaluating LAMP1 expression in tumor samples obtained pre-resection via biopsy and during surgery.Lysosomes are organelles (structures in cells) that contain digestive enzymes (substances that break down chemicals) that help keep the cells free of extra or worn out cell parts.Fluoxetine, a drug approved by the FDA to treat problems like depression and anxiety, can cause changes to…
