Nicholas Butowski, MD, associate professor, University of California, San Francisco, neuro-oncologist, UCSF Medical Center, discusses a phase I study of convection-enhanced delivery of nanoliposomal irinotecan (MM-398) for the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma or recurrent high-grade glioma.
- 1-3 catheters co-deliver liposomal-irinotecan and gadolinium into a patient’s tumor.
- Gadolinium is used so that imaging can be done in real-time.
- This process is unique because it bypasses systemic toxicity and ensures that the drug is administered properly.
