Official Title: | Phase II Study of Antineoplastons A10 and AS2-1 in Adult Patients With Mixed Glioma |
Estimated Enrollment: | 40 |
Study Start Date: | March 1996 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date: | December 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
OBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: This is an open label study.
Patients receive gradually escalating doses of antineoplaston A10 and antineoplaston AS2-1 by intravenous injection 6 times daily until the maximum tolerated dose is reached. Treatment continues in the absence of toxicity and disease progression.
Tumors are measured every 2 months for 1 year, every 3 months for the second year, every 3-4 months for the third and fourth years, every 4-6 months for the fifth year, then annually thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: This study will accrue 20-40 patients.
