Study Summary

One of Disulfiram antitumor effects suggested in preclinical studies is MGMT (methyl-guanine-methyl-transferase) inhibition. Disulfiram MGMT inhibitory effect is enhanced by addition of Copper. This study evaluates the impact of Disulfiram (DSF) + Copper (Cu) combination when added to standard Temozolomide in the treatment of unmethylated Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) patients.

Primary Outcome

To determine 6 month PFS of patients with unmethylated glioblastoma treated with DSF-Cu in combination with concurrent radiation and temozolomide. This was assessed by the number of participants who did not have disease progression and were alive at 6 months.

Interventions
