Brief Title: Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Intranasal Administration of Temozolomide in Patients With Glioblastoma
Official Title: Pilot Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Effectiveness of Intranasal Administration of Temozolomide in Patients With Glioblastoma (Phase I)
Study ID: NCT04091503
Brief Summary: The purpose of this pilot study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and the maximum tolerated dose intranasal administration of temozolomide (TMZ) as a single agent in Treatment on the patients with GBM. Intranasal administration is a new method of treating brain tumours for the direct administration of drugs, inhibitors or viruses, with minimal involvement of the BBB. The investigators know the orally prescribed standard chemotherapy temozolomide (TMZ) is widely used to treat glioma tumours. Received evidence of safety and efficacy in a full cycle of preclinical trials (on GLP Standart) and tests of calculated doses of intranasal administration of TMZ in healthy volunteers. Intranasal administration of temozolomide is considered as GBM therapy, which provides direct access to a therapeutic dose of the drug into the brain (to the neoplastic process) with low toxicity
Detailed Description: The investigators are trying to evaluate a clinically potentially effective intranasal way of delivering TMZ to the brain, taking into account the anatomical structure of os ethmoidal. The most important factor in the effectiveness of the drug is the achievement of an adequate amount of the active agent in its unbound state with albumin on the blood of a patient and the exposure time to the tumour process. Failure to comply with this requirement (difficulties in overcoming the BBB) was identified as the main obstacle to the successful treatment of all types of brain tumours. Translation to improved clinical outcomes in a patient with GBM has not yet been realized. The investigators will use modified temozolomide (without changing the chemical formula) to exclude as much as possible Anosmia, Hyposmia and other violation of the identification of odours with participants.
