Summary
This early-phase study aimed to see if ketoconazole, a drug used for fungal infections, could enter glioblastoma brain tumors in high enough amounts to stop cancer cells from dividing. Only one person was enrolled before the study was terminated. The goal was to gather information for future research, not to provide a direct treatment benefit.
