This study laid the groundwork for a phase 1 clinical trial (NCT03423628) led by AstraZeneca that will test AZ1390 in combination with radiation therapy for the treatment of brain tumors. It will assess the safety and tolerability of increasing doses of AZ1390 in combination with different regimens of radiation therapy for recurrent GBM, brain metastases and newly diagnosed GBM. The trial is estimated to enroll 132 patients at seven medical centers in the US and the UK, including VCU Massey Cancer Center.
