Can egg yolk powder fight brain cancer? small trial begins
NCT ID NCT07364786
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early trial tests whether a dietary supplement called Salovum (made from egg yolk) can reduce pressure inside glioblastoma brain tumors. Ten adults with suspected glioblastoma will take Salovum for two days after a biopsy. Researchers will measure tumor pressure and inflammation before and during treatment. This is a very small, early study focused on safety and biological effects, not a cure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Salovum (egg yolk powder enriched with antisecretory factor)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a way to reduce tumor pressure and inflammation in glioblastoma, possibly improving outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small early-phase trial with only 10 people. It is designed to measure short-term effects, not to prove the treatment works. There is no guarantee it will lead to a real treatment.
