Bortezomib in Treating Patients With Recurrent Glioma
Stopped early · Phase 1
Conditions studied: Adult Anaplastic Astrocytoma, Adult Anaplastic Oligodendroglioma, Adult Giant Cell Glioblastoma, Adult Glioblastoma, Adult Gliosarcoma, Recurrent Adult Brain Tumor
In brief
Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of bortezomib in treating patients who have recurrent glioma. Bortezomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth
