简要总结

This pilot study looks at how certain diet changes affect the body in patients with recurrent brain tumors (glioma) who are planning to have standard treatment like radiation or surgery. Up to 30 patients will be randomly assigned to either a regular diet or a special diet that limits two nutrients (cysteine and methionine) for 2, 4, or 7 days before their treatment.

Patients will be monitored for side effects using blood tests and questionnaires, and patients will keep a diary to track how well they follow the diet. Blood and urine samples will be used to see how the diet affects the body. Tumor samples (from surgery) will help researchers study how the cancer cells behave, and stool samples will be used to look at gut bacteria.

This is a randomized, blinded interventional pilot study to measure glutathione metabolite levels with a cysteine/methionine deprivation (CMD) diet in glioma patients. A menu of pre-prepared meals will be provided to subjects that consist of either a control diet or a CMD diet. The CMD diet will be implemented simultaneously in 2 cohorts of participants with recurrent glioma.

The primary objective will be to measure the metabolic state of glioblastome multiforme tumor cells through dietary restriction of the sulfur-containing amino acids (SAA), cysteine/cystine and methionine.

Patient from cohort A can later be included in Cohort B if applicable. Patients will be followed for progression free survival and overall survival for up to 1 year, or until they discontinue or are removed from the study for exploratory endpoints.

结局指标

主要结局

Change in systemic glutathione metabolites

时间窗: Baseline and up to 4 days

Systemic glutathione metabolite levels in blood and urine will be assessed before and after a 2-day randomized assigned diet (normal or Cysteine and methionine deprivation (CMD)) diet. Measurements will be obtained using laboratory assays and Magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy. Analyses will be conducted overall and stratified by patients scheduled for standard-of-care (SOC) radiation therapy or surgery.

次要结局

  • Change in systemic glutathione metabolites(Baseline and up to 6 days)
  • Change in tumor tissue glutathione metabolites(At time of surgical resection and up to 6 days)
  • Compliance with assigned diet regimen(Baseline and up to 6 days.)
  • Safety of normal or Cysteine and methionine deprivation diet(Up to 30 days)
  • Progression-Free Survival (PFS)(1 year)
  • Overall Survival(1 year)
