Cilengitide in Treating Patients Who Are Undergoing Surgery for Recurrent or Progressive Glioblastoma Multiforme

• Status: Terminated
• Trial end date: 2009-03-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Cilengitide may stop the growth of glioblastoma multiforme by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving cilengitide before and after surgery may be an effective treatment for glioblastoma multiforme. This phase II trial is studying how well cilengitide works in treating patients who are undergoing surgery for recurrent or progressive glioblastoma multiforme.

• Phase: Phase 2
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

• Lead Sponsor: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
