Mature Results of a Phase I SRS Dose Escalation Trial in Combination with an EGFR Inhibitor Gefitinib in Recurrent Malignant Gliomas and a Follow-up Pilot Trial with an EGFR and VEGFR Dual Inhibitor


Changhu Chen, MD, from the University of Colorado Denver discusses the mature results of a phase I SRS dose escalation trial in combination with an EGFR inhibitor gefitinib in recurrent malignant gliomas and a follow-up pilot trial with an EGFR and VEGFR dual inhibitor.

This is a report of our phase 1 study to combine this stereotactic radiosurgery called the fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery with a EGFR inhibitor called gefitinib or Iressa in the patient with recurrent astrocytoma, or the GBM. As we know that the recurrent malignant gliomas,...
