This chapter provides a timely overview of new drugs under development for glioblastoma therapy. First, we describe the challenges to drug development that are specific to glioblastoma and inherent issues that explain the high failure rate of late phase clinical trials against these tumors. We ...
The second treatment is Sativex, which gained fame as the first cannabis-derived drug on the market. Originally approved for multiple sclerosis, it is now in trials for other indications, includingtreatment of glioblastoma, one of the most aggressive forms of brain tumours, with early Phase I...
There is no cure for glioblastoma. Treatments include surgery to remove it, radiation therapy, chemotherapy and various clinical trials. According to the National Brain Tumor Society, the average length of survival for glioblastoma patients is only eight months, and the five-year survival rate is ...
Enveric is studying the combination of its lead synthetic CBD candidate, EV101, with two currently accepted forms of treatment for GBM. Preclinical data supports theidea of the combined treatments, which suggest that CBD may improve the efficacy of chemo- or immuno-therapies while potentially allow...
Targeting Tumor-Associated Macrophages with Antibody-Directed Enzyme Prodrug Therapy in Glioblastoma Cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality. While cancer treatments have advanced substantially, issues, such as side effects and the ability to deliver enough chemotherapy to the tumor site, remain...

Indeed, inhibition of Pcyt1a exhibited anti-lymphoma activity on glioblastoma and DLBCL in vitro and in vivo [34]. As in DLBCL lymphomas, we found in our mAITL mouse model that the neoplastic lymphoma T cells showed a significant upregulation of Pcyt1a, which might represent in addition to...
[147]. Moreover, combinatory treatments that promote T and NK cell function simultaneously to reduce the presence of immunosuppressive cells might also be of value. The use of novel small-molecule inhibitors of PD-1/PD-L1 currently under clinical development might be beneficial because of their ...
