Experimental pill aims to supercharge radiation against deadly brain tumors

NCT ID NCT06359379

Summary

This study tested whether adding an oral medication called ropidoxuridine to standard radiation treatment could better control an aggressive type of brain cancer called glioblastoma. The trial involved 30 adults with newly diagnosed tumors that are typically resistant to standard chemotherapy. The goal was to see if the pill makes cancer cells more vulnerable to radiation, potentially slowing tumor growth and extending survival.
