Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 69 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Have histologically proven, newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme
  2. Age ≥ 18 years and < 70 years
  3. Have an ECOG performance score of 0, 1, or 2, or KPS ≥ 70
  4. Have adequate bone marrow function , liver function, and kidney function before starting therapy
  5. Begin study therapy no more than 6 weeks after surgery or biopsy
  6. Subjects that have had surgery must have an MRI ≤ 72 hours after surgery

Exclusion Criteria:

  2. Have uncontrolled hypertension (SBP > 140 mmHg or DBP > 90 mmHg for more than 1 week)
  3. Have a left ventricular ejection fraction below the lower limit of the reference range for the institution, as measured by multiple gated acquisition (MUGA) or echocardiogram (ECHO)
  4. Have Troponin-I or Troponin T at Screening visit elevated above the upper limit of the reference range of the local institution
  5. Have an increasing steroid requirement, indicative of a rapidly progressive disease

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Part A: Safety
Assess the number and percentage of subjects with adverse events, abnormal laboratory parameters, and ECG changes as measures of safety and tolerability.
Part B: 9 Mo Progression-free survival

Secondary Outcome Measures

Part A: Pharmacokinetic Parameters

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This, international, multi-center, Phase 2 study of verubulin will be conducted in patients with newly diagnosed Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM). The study will be conducted in two parts. Part A is an open-label dose finding study that will determine the safety and tolerability of verubulin in combination with standard treatment. Part B is a randomized open-label study that will investigate progression-free survival and overall survival of patients receiving verubulin, at the dose determined in Part A, in combination with standard treatment versus standard treatment alone.
