ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how stress and exercise affect the outcomes of treatment for patients with glioblastoma (GBM), a serious and hard-to-treat brain tumor. Researchers want to understand if managing stress can improve how well patients respond to chemoradiation, a common treatment that combines chemotherapy and radiation therapy. They believe that stress hormones might impact how the body reacts to treatment and could even make it less effective.

To participate in this study, you should be between 65 and 74 years old, diagnosed with GBM, and eligible for a specific treatment plan called the Stupp regimen. You'll also need to wear a smartwatch during your treatment, which helps track your stress levels. The study is currently looking for participants, and everyone is welcome to join, regardless of gender. If you’re interested, you will be closely monitored to see how stress and exercise impact your treatment experience. This trial could help provide valuable insights that may benefit future patients with GBM.
