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…
