Could an egg powder boost survival in brain cancer?
NCT ID NCT05669820
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a daily egg powder enriched with a natural protein called antisecretory factor can help people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma live longer. About 300 participants will receive either the active egg powder or a placebo alongside standard chemotherapy and radiation. The main goal is to see if survival improves at 6 and 12 months after diagnosis.
