Golden Halo, Static Magnetic and Electric Field Device, in Recurrent Glioblastoma
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new device that creates magnetic and electric fields, used while patients sleep. It targets adults whose brain cancer has returned after initial treatment. The device is combined with standard chemotherapy to see if it helps fight the cancer more effectively. The approach aims to suppress the growth of cancer cells.
Do I have to stop taking my current medications to join the trial?
The trial does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, if you are taking enzyme-inducing anti-epileptic drugs, you must switch to non-enzyme-inducing ones at least 2 weeks before starting the trial medications. It's best to discuss your specific medications with the trial team.
Is the Static Magnetic and Electric (sBE) device generally safe for humans?
How does the Static Magnetic and Electric (sBE) device treatment differ from other treatments?
The Static Magnetic and Electric (sBE) device treatment is unique because it uses a combination of magnetic and electric fields to potentially influence the body's natural processes, unlike traditional treatments that may rely on medication or surgery. This approach is novel as it aims to harness physical forces rather than chemical interactions to achieve therapeutic effects.678910
