About this trial
This goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate how Acetadote affects metabolism in patients with glioblastoma. Drugs like Acetadote, which affect the level of damage in a cell (oxidative stress), may impact brain tumor metabolism and slow the growth of brain tumors.
The investigators are evaluating how Acetadote affects glioblastoma metabolism by using MRI-based methods and by determining the changes in metabolism in brain tumor tissue resected from patients with a new diagnosis of glioblastoma.
