Sonodynamic Therapy Trial Appeal for Glioblastoma

Campaign by Funding Neuro

Funding Neuro is working with CureGBM to raise funds to deliver a further pioneering trial of Sonodynamic therapy to treat people with Glioblastoma.

We fund research that will lead to treatments and cures for neurological conditions, we bring researchers together and patients of all disorders, to share ideas, support innovation and deliver results. We are currently involved in trials for DIPG brain tumours, Parkinson's Disease and MND.

Story

Funding Neuro have committed to fund a Queen Mary Hospital, London trial to provide liquid biopsy for people with Glioblastoma (GBM) using Focused Ultrasound (FUS).

Funding Neuro wants to help expand this incredible FUS technology to help treat peope with GBM.

We are therefore also assisting CureGBM to fund and deliver a clinical trial in which FUS activates a drug (ALA) that selectively accumulates in cancer cells and kills them whilst leaving normal brain unharmed:Sonodynamic Therapy (“SDT”).

In early US clinical trials, no patient has suffered any side effect & ‘overall survival’ for adults with recurrent GBM and children with DIPG has doubled, without the need for invasive and costly surgery.

CureGBM is working with Prof Philippe Schucht, a reknowned neuro-oncology Professor of Neurosurgery in Switzerland, to deliver an innovative GBM trial using SDT. Patients from the UK will be eligible for treatment with the vision that there will be similar trial centres in the UK in due course.

Help us to fundraise. Donate today to bring this ground-breaking, safe repeatable technology to the UK.
