A Phase 2, Multicenter, Exploratory Study, Evaluating the Treatment Effect of Surgery Plus GLIADEL® Wafer in Patients With Metastatic Brain Cancer
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the surgical intervention and
insertion of GLIADEL wafers on the neurocognitive functioning in patients with metastatic
brain cancer.
insertion of GLIADEL wafers on the neurocognitive functioning in patients with metastatic
brain cancer.

5. Have a life expectancy of ≥12 weeks.
6. Have a Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) score of 70 or higher.

Exclusion Criteria:
1. Are unable or unwilling to understand study assessment or to cooperate with the study
procedures as determined by the investigator.
2. Have a history of allergic reaction or known hypersensitivity to BCNU (carmustine) or
other components of the GLIADEL, such as polifeprosan polymer.
3. Have a history of prior cranial irradiation.
4. Have a prior diagnosis of Central Nervous System (CNS) tumor.
5. Have received prior treatment for brain tumors.
6. Have had prior exposure to GLIADEL or its components, such as polifeprosan polymer.
7. Have any uncontrolled medical or psychiatric conditions which preclude them from
participating in or completing the study procedures.
8. Concurrent severe medical conditions include, but are not limited to, active
infection, acute hepatitis, cardiac arrhythmia, unstable angina, congestive heart
failure, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, uncontrolled seizures, pulmonary
insufficiency, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary embolus, etc.
9. Have a diagnosis of tumor in the brain stem or posterior fossa.
