New glucose imaging could help personalize brain tumor treatment
NCT ID NCT06855628
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new imaging technique called Deuterium Metabolic Imaging (DMI) to see if it can predict how well glioblastoma patients respond to treatment. Ten participants will drink a special glucose tracer before MRI scans. The goal is to improve treatment decisions, but the study is currently suspended.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Deuterated glucose tracer (a special form of glucose used for imaging)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this imaging technique could help doctors predict which glioblastoma treatments work best for each patient, leading to more personalized care.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early-phase study with only 10 participants and is currently suspended. The imaging method may not reliably predict outcomes, and results may not apply to all patients.
