Currently, the multidisciplinary Standard of Care treatment for Glioblastoma multiforme includes maximal surgical resection of the tumor followed by radiotherapy plus concomitant and maintenance temozolomide chemotherapy.This study will treat newly diagnosed GBM patients by adding Anhydrous Enol-Oxaloacetate treatment to their current Standard of Care. In the body, Anhydrous Enol-Oxaloacetate (AEO) converts into "Oxaloacetate", a metabolite important for many biochemical reactions in the body. On a cellular level, oxaloacetate treatment has been found to modify cancer metabolism in GBM cells, reversing the "Warburg Effect", reducing glycolysis and reducing lactate production. In animals, oxaloacetate treatment has increased survival and reduced tumor growth of implanted GBM tumors. In other animal studies, oxaloacetate has also shown to have neuo-protective effects including positive effects on seizure development. .
