NCT ID: NCT00003483

Last Updated: 2017-08-24

Results Overview

Objective response rate per Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), disappearance of all disease sustained for at least four weeks; Partial Response (PR), \>=50% decrease in the sum of the products of of the greatest perpendicular diameters of all measurable enhancing lesions, sustained for at least four weeks; Stable Disease (SD), \<50% decrease and \<25% increase in the sum of the products of of the greatest perpendicular diameters of all measurable enhancing lesions, sustained for at least eight weeks; Progressive Disease (PD), \>=25% increase in the sum of the products of of the greatest perpendicular diameters of all measurable enhancing lesions.

Measure
Antineoplaston Therapy
Antineoplaston therapy (Atengenal + Astugenal) by IV infusion every four hours for at least 12 months. Study subjects receive increasing dosages of Atengenal and Astugenal until the maximum tolerated dose is reached. Antineoplaston therapy (Atengenal + Astugenal): Adults with a meningioma will receive Antineoplaston therapy (Atengenal + Astugenal).
