Full Title
A Phase I Study of Oral Carboxyamidotriazole Orotate (CTO) Titrated as a Single Agent in Patients with Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors and Titrated in Combination Therapy with Temodar® in Patients with Glioblastoma Multiforme or Other Recurrent Malignant Gliomas
Purpose
Glioblastoma multiforme is a challenging brain tumor to treat, and often recurs despite therapy. In this study, researchers want to find the highest dose of an investigational drug called carboxyamidotriazole orotate (CTO) that can be given in combination with temozolomide, a standard therapy for gliomas, in patients with glioblastoma multiforme and other recurrent malignant gliomas.
CTO works by targeting key proteins involved in brain tumor growth and by inhibiting the development of blood vessels tumors need to grow and spread. Both CTO and temozolomide are taken orally (by mouth).
