Study to Evaluate Ibudilast and TMZ Combo Treatment in Newly Diagnosed and Recurrent Glioblastoma

Summary

Part 1 is an open-label, single-arm, dose escalation study of MN-166 (ibudilast) and temozolomide (TMZ) combination treatment. Evaluate safety and tolerability of ibudilast (MN-166) and TMZ combination treatment for 1 cycle (28 days); determine dosage in dose-finding study. Part 2 will evaluate efficacy of fixed-dose MN-166 (ibudilast) and TMZ combination treatment for 6 cycles (\~6 months) until disease progression, unacceptable tolerability and/or toxicity or loss of life.
