CHEMOTHERAPY BCNU (CARMUSTINE) 1960s when the Brain Tumor Study Group conducted a
controlled study using BCNU. After surgery, patients were assigned to one of four treatment
groups: (a) No further therapy, (b) BCNU alone, (c) Radiation therapy (d) Radiation therapy followed by BCNU. At 18 months 23% of patients who received radiation therapy
plus carmustine were still alive as compared to 5% with carmustine or radiotherapy alone

MGMT MGMT is a highly
conserved protein involved in DNA repair.
The enzyme protects cells against DNA damage by reversing alkylation at the O6 position of guanine.
![Page 12: Chemotherapy in gliomas](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062522/58acbed11a28abd3048b4ff3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Temozolomide is an alkylating agent that targets N7 or O6 positions of guanine residues of DNA, resulting in interruption of cell division and subsequent cell death.
MGMT repair DNA damage by demethylating the O6 position of guanine.
This returns guanine to its baseline state and allows cell division to continue.
When the MGMT promoter is methylated, there is decreased MGMT transcription

Bevacizumab in Newly diagnosed GBM
GBM is a highly vascular tumor. BVZ is a therapeutic antibody that
specifically binds to the VEGF protein theoretically interfering blood supply of tumour, hence stopping the growth of cancer cells.
Based on Ph 2 studies BVZ is approved in 60 countries for the treatment of recurrent high grade gliomas.

Immunotherapy - Therapeutic Vaccines
RINDOPEPIMUT- therapeutic vaccine. The central component of rindopepimut is a fragmentof a mutated form of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) protein called EGFRvIII.
Approx 20 to 30 % of GBM express EGFRvIII. Improvement in both median OS and 6-month
PFS in patients received the vaccine and Bevacizumab compared with patients who received a placebo vaccine.

Treatment at Recurrence Currently, AVASTIN is approved in 60 countries
worldwide for treatment of progressive GBM following prior therapy.
