DM-CHOC-PEN Plus Radiation for Brain Tumors

4-Demethyl-4-cholesteryloxycarbonylpenclomedine (DM-CHOC-PEN) is a polychlorinated pyridyl cholesterol carbonate that is lipophilic, electrically neural, crosses the blood brain barrier (BBB), ability to localize in intracranial tumor tissue, lacks neurotoxicity and not transported out of the brain via Pgp (p-glycoprotein) (1). DM-CHOC-PEN has completed Phase I/II trials in humans with primary and secondary tumors involving the brain with success. Complete remissions in both primary astrocytoma and metastatic lung and leukemia malignancies. This trial is open for adult subjects with advanced cancer - brain involvement is required.
