Summary
This early-phase trial tests whether adding high-dose vitamin C and an iron-based drug (ferumoxytol) to standard radiation and chemotherapy can help adults with a newly diagnosed aggressive brain tumor called glioblastoma. The study involves 17 participants and aims to find the safest dose of the iron drug. Researchers will also track how long people live without the cancer growing and overall survival.
