Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics, 10/21/09
Debinski W et al. – The first Phase III trial for CED–delivered, molecularly targeted cytotoxin in the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma multiforme has been accomplished and demonstrated objective clinical efficacy. The lessons learned from more than a decade of attempts at exploiting CED for brain cancer treatment weigh critically for its future clinical applications. The main issues center around the type of catheters used, number of catheters and their exact placement; pharmacological formulation of drugs, prescreening patients undergoing treatment and monitoring the distribution of drugs in tumors and the tumor–infiltrated brain. It is expected that optimizing CED will make this technology a permanent addition to clinical management of brain malignancies.
