The additive effect of combined intracranial carmustine ('BCNU') with intracranial temozolomide ('TMZ'), and particularly in combination with radiation (&#x201c;XRT&#x201d;), in the treatment of two rat intracranial glioma models, the 9L gliosarcoma and the F98 glioma, demonstrates that local delivery of both drugs, especially in combination with radiation, is far more effective than delivery of either drug alone or one systemically and one locally, either with or without radiation. The triple therapy showed a significant improvement in survival when compared to controls (p=0.0004), local BCNU (p=0.0043), oral TMZ (p=0.0026), local TMZ (p=0.0105), and the combinations of either BCNU and XRT (p=0.0378) or oral TMZ and local BCNU (p=0.0154).
