Penicillamine, Low Copper Diet, and Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Glioblastoma
Completed
National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Phase 2
1999-03-01
RATIONALE: Penicillamine may stop the growth of glioblastomas by stopping blood flow to the
tumor. A diet low in copper may interfere with the growth of brain tumor cells. Radiation
therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining these therapies may be
effective in treating glioblastoma.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of penicillamine, a low copper diet, and
radiation therapy in treating patients who have newly diagnosed glioblastoma.
