Evaluating new imaging techniques to predict treatment success in glioblastoma

Assessment Of A Novel Metabolic Imaging Modalities As A Predictor Of Therapeutic Efficacy In Glioblastoma (GBM)

PHASE2 · Stanford University · NCT06855628

This study is testing a new imaging method to see if it can help predict how well a treatment for glioblastoma will work when combined with standard care.

What this trial studies

This study aims to assess the prognostic ability of a novel metabolic imaging modality in predicting the therapeutic efficacy of BPM31510, a lipid nano dispersion of CoQ10, when added to standard glioblastoma treatment. Participants will undergo imaging with [6,6-²H₂]-Glucose to evaluate how well this method can forecast treatment outcomes. The study is part of a Phase II trial that includes patients consenting to the parent study. The goal is to enhance treatment strategies for glioblastoma by identifying effective predictors of response.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include individuals diagnosed with glioblastoma who are willing to participate in the Phase II BPM31510 study.

Not a fit: Patients who refuse IV administration or have allergies to MRI contrasts may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved treatment strategies for glioblastoma patients by identifying those who are more likely to benefit from specific therapies.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in using metabolic imaging to predict treatment outcomes, suggesting that this approach may be viable.
