Phase 1b, Multicenter, Open-Label Study of Marizomib With Temozolomide and Radiotherapy in Patients With Newly Diagnosed WHO Grade IV Malignant Glioma
This study is for newly diagnosed WHO Grade IV malignant glioma patients to determine whether an investigational drug known as marizomib (MRZ) will improve the treatment of newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients by delaying the growth of the cancer, reducing the size of the tumor, and/or improving survival. Marizomib (MRZ) is being added to standard-of-care treatments of radiotherapy (RT), temozolomide (TMZ), and Optune.
• Signed Informed Consent Form

• For Adjuvant Treatment: All AEs resulting from surgery must have resolved to NCI-CTCAE (v. 4.03) Grade ≤ 1
• Stable or decreasing dose of corticosteroids over 14 days prior to first MRZ dose
• For Concomitant Treatment: No prior treatment with MRZ or any other PIs, including BTZ, carfilzomib (CFZ), or ixazomib (IXZ)
