Scientists test new pill to fight deadly brain tumors

NCT ID NCT03107780

Summary

This early-stage study tested a new oral drug called navtemadlin (AMG 232) for glioblastoma, a fast-growing brain cancer. The trial had two parts: first, to see if the drug could reach brain tumor tissue in patients whose cancer had returned; second, to find a safe dose to combine with standard radiation for newly diagnosed patients. The study was terminated early and involved 32 participants.
