Experimental device tested to control aggressive brain tumor growth

NCT ID NCT03450850

Summary

This study tested a medical device called NOVOTTF-200A in adults with a recurrent, aggressive type of brain tumor called grade 3 astrocytoma. The main goal was to see if the device could help control the tumor's growth for at least six months in patients who had not received a specific prior drug (bevacizumab). Researchers also looked at safety, quality of life, and whether certain genetic markers in the tumor predicted a better response to the device.
