Article Synopsis
  • The study explores how brain cancers, particularly glioblastoma (GBM), change their use of glucose to support tumor growth and invasion.
  • Researchers infused C-labeled glucose into patients and mice to track how glucose is processed in tumors versus healthy brain tissue.
  • Findings show that while healthy brain areas utilize glucose for essential functions, GBM diverts glucose towards biosynthesis, and altering this metabolism through dietary changes may slow tumor growth without harming normal brain function.

Purpose: Research pharmacy effort required to safely and compliantly manage investigational products (IP) varies between studies. No validated tool exists in the United States to evaluate these differences in effort. The Vizient Pharmacy Research Committee Investigational Drug Services (IDS) Subcommittee previously developed a systematic complexity scoring tool (CST) through expert consensus to assign a complexity score for pharmacy effort.
