Summary

In order to test the investigators hypothesis that 8 teaspoons of POLYMVA is safe in a population of patients with grade IV brain astrocytoma (glioblastoma multiforme), the investigators will conduct an open-label, prospective, un-blinded study. The investigators expect that at least 70% of subjects will tolerate the supplement and complete the trial. The investigators expect no Serious Adverse Event to occur during this trial which is attributable to study compound. During this study, the investigators will also collect other qualitative data to be utilized for future double-blinded studies which will be aimed at determining whether grade IV astrocytoma patients who receive PolyMVA achieve a better quality of life during their chemo-therapeutic regimens versus grade IV astrocytoma patients who do not receive PolyMVA.

Conditions

  • Glioblastoma Multiform (Grade IV Astrocytoma)

Interventions

DRUG

PolyMVA

Subjects will take 8 tsp/day of PolyMVA over a 26 week period while receiving standard of care from his/her neuro-oncologist. Subjects will begin taking the study compound after maximal surgical resection of the tumor and receiving an initial treatment of radiation therapy. Subjects will not take study compound on days when they receive chemotherapy.
