Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
To learn how altered metabolism in GBM causes tumor growth and resistance to drug therapy. In this pilot research study, we will dose GBM patients with a form of nicotinamide (a natural vitamin) that we can track. The nicotinamide will be converted to methyl nicotinamide (MeNAM) in the tumor. We will measure how fast the nicotinamide is converted to methyl nicotinamide. We believe that the speed of this chemical reaction in the tumor (fast versus slow) may be correlated with GBM aggressiveness
