Blood sugar tracker may extend life in brain cancer patients
NCT ID NCT07091864
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 18, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests whether a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) can help people with glioblastoma, a severe brain cancer, manage their blood sugar levels and potentially live longer. High blood sugar during treatment is linked to worse outcomes, often caused by steroids. The CGM device tracks glucose in real time, allowing for quicker treatment. The trial will enroll 116 newly diagnosed patients to see if this approach improves survival at 12 months.
