Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of Disulfiram and Copper Gluconate in Recurrent Glioblastoma

NCT03034135

Description:

This study of DSF-Cu in combination with TMZ for recurrent GBM will evaluate the antitumor effect in patients who have recurrent GBM. Patients will take DSF-Cu daily during their routine standard of care with TMZ therapy for approximately 6 months. Patients will be evaluated for response every 8 weeks. Patients will be followed up 2 years after the last dose of DSF-Cu.
