A Phase 0 Clinical Trial of Oral Gallium Maltolate for Recurrent Glioblastoma
Medical College of Wisconsin
Summary
This is a Phase 0 investigational study to assess the central nervous system penetration and tumoral concentration of gallium in patients with recurrent glioblastoma administered with preoperative gallium maltolate.
Description
Rationale: Currently, recruitment has concluded for a Phase 1 trial assessing in patients with GBM. Preliminary analyses have demonstrated gallium maltolate is both safe and potentially efficacious in treating glioblastoma. However, while gallium maltolate has been well-tolerated, further correlative analyses are necessary to confirm the drug's ability to act within the brain.
