In a small trial of ten patients, a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy drugs, ipatasertib and atezolizumab, was applied to treat advanced glioblastoma, a form of brain cancer that is currently very difficult to treat. Two patients responded well, for one the cancer seems to have disappeared. More research is needed.
