Summary
Neuro-oncological trials may fail due to the drug never getting to the intended target (i.e.
within the tumor micro environment). Also, changes' occurring in tumor cells when removed
from patients and grown in-vitro is another limiting factor influencing the clinical success.
Important questions are therefore:
1. Does the drug get there?
2. Does the drug do what it is intended to do?
To improve chances of clinical success there is a need for rational and intelligent selection
of potential drugs in future trials. This is an initiative for analyzing tumor concentration
of preoperative administered repurposed drugs
