Malignant gliomas are frequently characterized by amplification of the epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR) and loss of PTEN tumor suppressor gene. Twenty-eight heavily pretreated patients with recurrent malignant gliomas were administered EGFR inhibitors (gefitinib or erlotinib) in combination with the mTOR ( mammalian target of rapamycin) inhibitor sirolimus. The regimens were reasonably well tolerated. Nineteen percent of patients experienced a partial response and 50% had stable disease. Six-month progression-free survival for glioblastoma patients was 25%.
