Report on results from intraoperative open PDT compassionate care of 20 recurrent glioblastoma patients. ML7710 was used only for PDT (Zeiss surgical microscope used for fluorescence visualization of PPIX). Results suggest that combining PDT with 5-ALA FGR (fluorescence-guided resection) is effective (effect of PDT was seen in 80% of patients) and safe (only one adverse event was observed = surgical site infection).
