Who may be able to join

  • The patients must fulfill all the following criteria:
  • Previous histologically-confirmed diagnosis of primary GBM (glioma grade 4 at time of first diagnosis).
  • Histologically-confirmed and MRI diagnosed recurrent or progressive GBM after previous resection (surgical or biopsy) and radiation therapy.
  • Medically capable of undergoing the planned surgical gross total resection and the catheter placement.
  • Age ≥ 18.
  • Karnofsky Performance Status of ≥ 70%.

  • Life expectancy of ≥ 3 months.
  • Patients must already be taking or begin taking corticosteroids at a stable dose of 4 mg every 6 hours for at least 72 hours prior to catheter placement.
  • Patients must be capable of taking, or already taking, anticonvulsant medication.
  • Patients must have read, signed, and dated an informed consent according to ICH-GCP, the local regulatory requirement and the rules followed at each institution.

Who cannot join

  • Patients fulfilling any of the following criteria should not be enrolled in the study:
  • Previous myelosuppressive chemotherapy within the past 4 weeks of the start of the infusion. Patients who have received more than two chemotherapy regimens (single therapy or combination therapy) are ineligible.
  • Any form of brain radiation within 10 weeks of the start of the infusion.
  • Previous gamma knife radiosurgery, stereotactic radiosurgery, and/or internal radiotherapy, unless the recurrence/progression is histologically confirmed (fine-needle biopsy).
  • Prior intracavitary biologic response modifiers or monoclonal antibodies.
  • Uncontrolled seizures.
Show all 17Show fewer
  • Bilateral or multifocal tumors.
  • Evidence of cerebral uncal herniation.
  • Midline brain shift on MRI scan of > 0.5 cm prior to resection; patients with subfalcine herniation may be enrolled.
  • Tumors involving the brainstem or cerebellum.
  • Diffuse subependymal or CSF disease.
  • Women who are pregnant or breast feeding. All women of child-bearing potential should be excluded unless they have a negative pregnancy test and are using adequate contraceptive measures or are surgically sterile. Post-menopausal women must be amenorrhoeic for at least 12 months to be considered of non-childbearing.

  • Prior or concurrent investigational treatment within 30 days of study entry.
  • Active infection requiring treatment or having an unexplained febrile illness.
  • Systemic diseases or other conditions which may be associated with unacceptable anesthetic/operative risk and/or which would not allow safe completion of this study protocol.
  • Prior or concurrent malignancy (curatively treated carcinoma-in-situ or basal cell carcinoma or patients who have been disease free for at least 5 years are eligible).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing TP-38 and TP38 in people with Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme, run by Teva Branded Pharmaceutical Products R&D, Inc..

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 17 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jan 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Survival (time frame: 28 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Jan 2012.
