Abstract

Two cycles of treatment with SGT-53 and temozolomide significantly prolonged median survival in an intracranial glioblastoma tumor model.

  • SGT-53 chemosensitized both TMZ-sensitive human glioblastoma cell lines (U87 and U251) in laboratory settings.
  • Concurrent administration of SGT-53 and temozolomide inhibited tumor growth and increased cell death compared to TMZ alone.
  • Temozolomide alone did not significantly affect median survival when compared to a single cycle of treatment.
  • Combining SGT-53 with temozolomide may limit the development of resistance to temozolomide in glioblastoma.
