Overview

Study Title

A Pilot Trial of Intratumorally-Administered Topotecan using Convection-Enhanced Delivery (CED) in Patients with Suspected Recurrent/Progressive WHO Grade III or IV (High Grade) Glioma Undergoing Stereotactic Biopsy (IND 117,240)

Summary

Objective

- To investigate by MR imaging the spatial and temporal distribution of topotecan in enhancing or nonenhancing bulk tumor administered by convection-enhanced delivery (CED) in patients with recurrent/progressive WHO grade III or IV (high grade) glioma (HGG) who have failed standard therapy comprising surgical biopsy and/or resection and adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy. - To investigate by MR imaging the influence of the rate and topotecan concentration, on the spatial and temporal distribution of topotecan administered by CED in patients with with recurrent/progressive HGG

Treatments

Therapies

Medications

Topotecan ()

Inclusion Criteria

Histologically confirmed diagnosis of supratentorial WHO Grade III or IV Glioma (High Grade Glioma) that has undergone surgical biopsy or resection followed by adjuvant chemoradiotherapy, that has evidence of recurrence or progression based on imaging studies and a stereotactic biopsy is indicated for confirmation of recurrence/progression.
