ACTR-27. PHASE 2 STUDY OF DIANHYDROGALACTITOL (VAL-083) IN PATIENTS WITH MGMT-UNMETHYLATED, BEVACIZUMAB-NAIVE RECURRENT GLIOBLASTOMA

ABSTRACT: Abstract Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary brain cancer. Current standard-of-care includes surgery followed by concurrent therapy with radiation and temozolomide (TMZ) and maintenance TMZ. Almost all GBM patients experience recurrent/progressive disease, and median survival after recurrence is 3–9 months. Effective therapies for recurrent GBM (rGBM) are lacking, representing a significant unmet medical need. Unmethylated promoter for O6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) is a validated biomarker for TMZ-resistance and is correlated with a poor prognosis. Second-line treatment with the anti-angiogenic agent bevacizumab (BEV) has not improved survival, and 5-year survival is less than 3%. VAL-083 is a bi-functional DNA-targeting agent rapidly inducing inter
