Final results of a phase I dose-escalation, dose-expansion study of adding disulfiram with or without copper to adjuvant temozolomide for newly diagnosed glioblastoma

Sadly, median PFS and OS were not improved above historical controls receiving standard treatments alone.

However, only 6 of 18 patients also took copper supplements in this trial in addition to disulfiram, leading to another phase 1/2 trial of disulfiram + copper for newly diagnosed GBM which is still recruiting.
