TVB- 2640 in Combination With Bevacizumab in Patients With First Relapse of High Grade Astrocytoma

Randomized phase 2 study TVB-2640 in combination with Bevacizumab versus Bevacizumab alone.

Eligible patients will be randomized into 2 separate arms:

* Arm number one will receive Bevacizumab every 2 weeks in combination with TVB-2640 from day 1 until day 28 of the first cycle.
* Arm number two will receive Bevacizumab alone every 2 weeks, from on days 1 and 15 of the first until day 28 of the first cycle.
* MR-Spectroscopy will be obtained on all patients (both arms) at day 28 of first cycle.
* Starting on cycle 2 day 1, all patients will converge to a single arm and will continue to receive bevacizumab every 2 weeks in combination with TVB-2640. Every cycle will last 28 days.
