Summary: Currently, treatment with a specific anti-epileptic drug mainly depends on the physicians' preference, as there are no studies supporting the use of one specific anticonvulsant in glioma patients. The overall aim of this randomized controlled trial is to directly compare the effectiveness of treatment with levetiracetam or valproic acid in glioma patients with a first seizure.
Summary: This is a proof-of-concept, Open label, randomized, multicentric, superiority phase-2 study.
Summary: The investigators hypothesize that the epigenetic agent valproic acid improve the activity of anti-EGFR agents, prevent and revert the emergence of EGFR resistance, in a rechallenge setting. Correlative mechanistic studies on tissue and blood samples, liquid biopsies, could identify potential biomarkers of efficacy and help understanding the evolutionary dynamics of tumors in response to therapy t...
