Astrocytoma | Drug: Bevacizumab Drug: TVB-2640 | Phase 2 |
Eligible patients will be randomized into 2 separate arms:
- Arm number one will receive Bevacizumab every 2 weeks in combination with TVB-2640 from day 1 until day 28 of the first cycle.
- Arm number two will receive Bevacizumab alone every 2 weeks, from on days 1 and 15 of the first until day 28 of the first cycle.
- MR-Spectroscopy will be obtained on all patients (both arms) at day 28 of first cycle.
- Starting on cycle 2 day 1, all patients will converge to a single arm and will continue to receive bevacizumab every 2 weeks in combination with TVB-2640. Every cycle will last 28 days.

Experimental: Bevacizumab and TVB-2640
Bevacizumab every 2 weeks in combination with TVB-2640 dosed at 100mg/m2 daily (rounded to 50mg tab dose), from day 1 until day 28 of the first cycle.

Drug: Bevacizumab
Bevacizumab is FDA approved as a treatment for recurrent Glioblastoma following failure of radiation therapy and temozolomide.
Other Name: Avastin Drug: TVB-2640 TVB-2640 is a potent and reversible inhibitor of the FASN enzyme. TVB-2640 inhibits the β-ketoacyl reductase (KR) enzymatic activity of the FASN enzyme. |
Experimental: Bevacizumab
Bevacizumab alone every 2 weeks, on days 1 and 15 until day 28 of the first cycle.
