Study Summary

This trial is testing a new drug for brain cancer, both alone and in combination with another cancer drug.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with recurrent malignant glioma, such as glioblastoma or anaplastic astrocytoma. Participants must have measurable disease, be able to swallow pills, and use contraception if necessary. They should have good liver, kidney, and blood function and not be on other cancer treatments for at least 30 days.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests LY2157299 alone and combined with lomustine in pill form for brain tumors that have come back after treatment. It's a dose-escalation study which means they'll increase the drug amount over time to find the right dose.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include fatigue, nausea, liver issues due to Lomustine; LY2157299 might cause headaches or swelling caused by fluid retention. Side effects can vary based on individual reactions.
