Glioblastoma Multiforme
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of the protocol was to induce a novel radiochemotherapy with enzastaurin as first-line treatment regimen in glioblastoma: Participants with active, unmethylated MGMT promoter were treated with enzastaurin before, concomitant, and after radiotherapy to determine safety and PFS at 6 months (PFS-6) in phase II.
Interventions
1125 mg loading dose D(-)7 then 500 mg QD, oral, daily until disease progression, given with and without radiotherapy treatment.
1125 mg loading dose D(-)7 then 250 mg BID, oral, daily until disease progression, given with and without radiotherapy treatment.
