Belly fat graft could outsmart brain Cancer's defenses
NCT ID NCT05979064
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early study tests if a piece of belly tissue placed in the brain during surgery can safely bypass the blood-brain barrier in people with recurrent glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. Ten adults will be followed for 6 months to check for side effects like rapid tumor growth, seizures, or infection. The goal is to see if this approach is safe enough for further testing.
