Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The study endpoint will be the amount of ATP, protein level and pH change in GBM before and after single dose and complete course of radiotherapy with respect to background levels. Reproducibility is assessed in controls assuming no alteration in metabolite levels. In addition, the correlation between Cx30 and ATP as well as Cx30 and pH and protein level will be assessed. | — |
