Study Summary

This trial is testing the side effects and best dose of phosphorus 32 to treat glioblastoma multiforme.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with grade 4 astrocytoma (glioblastoma) who have not responded to radiotherapy or surgery, or have a poor prognosis. They must have adequate kidney and blood function, be able to perform daily activities well (Karnofsky score of 70-100%), use contraception if fertile, and not be pregnant. The tumor should measure 3 to 5 cm without evidence of spread within the CNS.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the safety and optimal dosage of a radioactive drug called phosphorus 32 in patients with glioblastoma multiforme. It aims to determine how well this treatment can kill tumor cells in those who've had unsuccessful prior treatments or are considered high-risk.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from phosphorus 32 may include damage to healthy brain tissue leading to neurological deficits, fatigue due to radiation exposure, hair loss at the treatment site, nausea, headaches, and potential risks associated with radioactive therapies.
