Treatment usually starts soon after diagnosis: surgery first, then radiation and chemotherapy. See the glossary has come back for the first time. It tests a drug called TLX101-Tx, which sends radiation straight to glioblastoma cells. Some people get it along with lomustine. Others get lomustine alone.

Where it stands. This trial has not reported results. Part 1 checks safety and the right radiation dose. Part 2 compares the two treatments to each other. It is looking at how well the drug works and how safe it is. The answer is not in yet.
