A Phase 2, Multicenter, Exploratory Study, Evaluating the Treatment Effect of Surgery Plus GLIADEL® Wafer in Patients With Metastatic Brain Cancer


Inclusion Criteria:

chemotherapy during study participation (as allowed by the protocol), appropriate
contraception will be managed by the principal investigator.

4. Have a primary diagnosis of solid-based tumor cancer (except small cell lung cancer
(SCLS), lymphoma, germ cell cancer or anaplastic thyroid cancer) or unknown primary
cancer and have 1-3 brain metastasis(es) for which surgical resection is planned for
a single metastasis and any remaining metastases are planned for stereotactic
radiosurgery (SRS);

OR

an intra-operative diagnosis of metastatic brain tumor in a patient with a single
brain lesion.

5. Have a life expectancy of ≥12 weeks.

6. Have a Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) score of 70 or higher.

7. Have Recursive Partitioning Analysis (RPA) status of 1 or 2.

8. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test
within 14 days of the surgical resection; and

9. Patients must be able to understand English, either orally or in writing, and be able
to consent and complete the required assessments and procedures.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Are unable or unwilling to understand study assessment or to cooperate with the study
procedures as determined by the investigator.

2. Have a history of allergic reaction or known hypersensitivity to BCNU (carmustine) or
other components of the GLIADEL, such as polifeprosan polymer.

3. Have a history of prior cranial irradiation.

4. Have a prior diagnosis of Central Nervous System (CNS) tumor.

5. Have received prior treatment for brain tumors.

6. Have had prior exposure to GLIADEL or its components, such as polifeprosan polymer.

7. Have any uncontrolled medical or psychiatric conditions which preclude them from
participating in or completing the study procedures.

8. Concurrent severe medical conditions include, but are not limited to, active
infection, acute hepatitis, cardiac arrhythmia, unstable angina, congestive heart

insufficiency, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary embolus, etc.

9. Have a diagnosis of tumor in the brain stem or posterior fossa.

10. Have an RPA status of 3.
