Blood test could help spot brain tumor growth vs. treatment side effects
NCT ID NCT07417774
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is part of a larger trial testing an oxygen-boosting drug called NanO2 in people with glioblastoma, a serious brain cancer. Researchers will analyze blood samples from 40 patients to find markers that show how low oxygen levels in the tumor affect the disease. They also hope to find a way to tell the difference between true tumor growth and pseudoprogression, which looks like growth on scans but is actually a treatment reaction.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- NanO2 (oxygen therapeutic)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors tell the difference between actual tumor growth and treatment-related changes in glioblastoma patients, leading to more accurate monitoring.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage biomarker study, not a treatment trial. The findings may not lead to immediate clinical changes or benefit participants directly.
