Excerpt

Both temozolomide (TMZ) and fotemustine (FTM) are considered to be active agents in recurrent glioblastoma. The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and toxicity profile of a sequential combination of TMZ and FTM in recurrent glioblastoma after standard treatment with TMZ and radiotherapy. The rationale for evaluating this regimen was, in part, the single-agent activity of both agents against recurrent glioblastoma. Furthermore, temozolomide seems to reduce O6-alkylguanine DNA alkyltransferase (AGAT) activity in vitro, suggesting that temozolomide might enhance the antitumor activity of fotemustine by reducing AGAT activity [1]. …
