What is the Use of Human Corticotropin-Releasing Factor (hCRF) to Control Brain Swelling (edema) in Brain Tumor Patients study?
Who can participate?
with diagnosis of a primary or metastatic brain
tumor
-Must have required treatment with dexamethasone
to control the symptoms of brain swelling
What do I have to do as a study participant?
two groups. One group will receive study drug
(hCRF), and the other will receive placebo.
Neither you nor the study team will know which
group you are assigned to. Subjects will receive
study drug for 12 weeks, during which they will
be asked to return to the clinic periodically for
clinical evaluations. These evaluations may
include physical and neurological exams,
electrocardiogram (ECG-tracing of the electrical
activity of the heart), documentation of
subject's blood pressure, pulse, temperature,
height and weight, as well as routine blood and
urine testing.
