Embryonic Stem Cells-Derived Exosomes Endowed with Targeting Properties as Chemotherapeutics Delivery Vehicles for Glioblastoma Therapy.

TL;DR: Results show that cRGD‐Exo‐PTX significantly improves the curative effects of PTX in GBM via enhanced targeting, indicating that ESC‐exos are potentially powerful therapeutic carriers for GBM and could have utility in many other diseases.

Correlation of EGFR, IDH1 and PTEN status with the outcome of patients with recurrent glioblastoma treated in a phase II clinical trial with the EGFR-blocking monoclonal antibody cetuximab

TL;DR: Observations indicate that the type of EGFR mutation may determine the outcome of GB patients treated with the EGFR-targeted monoclonal antibody cetuximab in a prospective phase II clinical trial, and Prospective investigation of both the EG FR amplification status and mutation status in clinical trials with EGFR -targeted therapies for GB is indicated.

Intratumoral concentrations of imatinib after oral administration in patients with glioblastoma multiforme.

TL;DR: It is suggested that imatinib can reach intratumoral concentrations similar to those or higher than in plasma in regions of glioblastoma where the BBB is disrupted as indicated by contrast enhancement on magnetic resonance imaging.

Phase I study of sorafenib combined with radiation therapy and temozolomide as first-line treatment of high-grade glioma

TL;DR: Although Sb can be combined with RT and TMZ, significant side effects and moderate outcome results do not support further clinical development in malignant gliomas and the robust PK data of the TMZ/Sb combination could be useful in other cancer settings.

Rindopepimut: an evidence-based review of its therapeutic potential in the treatment of EGFRvIII-positive glioblastoma

TL;DR: Rindopepimut is a peptide vaccine which elicits EGFRvIII-specific humoral and cellular immune responses which results in significantly higher progression-free and overall survival times in vaccinated patients with EGFR vIII-expressing GBM tumors.
