Tolerance and Pharmacokinetic Study of Chlorogenic Acid to Advanced Glioblastoma

Phase 1 Trial of Tolerance and Pharmacokinetic of Chlorogenic Acid for Injection in the Advanced Glioblastoma Patients

The purpose of this study:

Determining the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD), Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT), pharmacokinetics characteristic, and dosage regimen of phase II/III of Chlorogenic acid for injection in the advanced Glioblastoma Patients ;

1. Investigate the tolerance of Chlorogenic acid for injection in human body, determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) of Chlorogenic acid for injection in the advanced Glioblastoma Patients ;
2. Determine the human pharmacokinetics characteristic of Chlorogenic acid for injection;
3. Preliminary observation the effectiveness and effective dose;
4. Provide the basis for the dosage regimen of phase II/III.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patients with pathologic or/and FNAC confirmation of advanced glioblastoma(WHO,III-IV grade) but without effective treatment or with treatment failure;
2. Between 18 and 65 years of age, KPS≥40;
3. According to RANO(2010), the parents will be eligible if one of the following conditions apply: steroid dose increased or stable,the enhanced tumor lesion increased more than 25%; the unenhanced tumor lesion increased because of the progressive tumor,even if the lesion was unmeasurable.
4. Life expectancy of at least three (3) months at the enrollment;
5. Patients who have sufficient baseline organ function and whose laboratory data can meet the following criteria at the enrollment:
