Glioblastoma is the most common brain and central nervous system malignancy, accounting for approximately 45% of primary tumors. More than 80% of patients die within 2 years of diagnosis, and nearly 95% die within 5 years.

“The poor prognosis and low survival rates for glioblastomas demonstrate an unmet need for new treatment options,” Julius Huang, PhD, DABT, director of global clinical sciences with Gan & Lee, said in a company-issued press release.
