卡莫司汀晶片植入物Carmustine治疗胶质母细胞瘤疗效显著

It is an alkylating drug indicated for: newly diagnosed high-grade malignant glioma as an adjunct to surgery and radiation and recurrent glioblastoma multiforme as an adjunct to surgery.

Carmustine chip implant is the world's only new drug for the treatment of malignant glioma. It is a white to off-white, dime-sized film containing the biodegradable polymer polyphenylene glycol 20 and 7.7 mg of carmustine (BCNU), a commonly used intravenously administered chemotherapy drug for the treatment of malignant gliomas.

Carmustine Chip Implant Carmustine is a type of carmustine contained in a chip. The wafer has a slowly dissolving coating and releases carmustine directly to the area where the tumor was removed. For brain tumors, this form may be better than other forms of carmustine, with fewer side effects.

Preclinical tests have proven that Carmustine chip implants can locally release high concentrations of carmustine (BCNU), which has obvious advantages over traditional methods. Compared with intraperitoneal administration, intracranial placement of Carmustine chip implants can increase local drug concentration by 4-1200 times. Based on its safety and good therapeutic effect on tumors, the United States and many countries around the world have successively approved the phase III clinical study of Carmustine chip implant. Combined with the test results, it can be seen that Carmustine chip implant has a significant effect in treating glioblastoma. This drug improves the patient's quality of life and disease progression, and can have a positive effect on the patient's condition.
