A world-first human trial set to begin in Brisbane and Melbourne has the potential to be one of the biggest breakthroughs in the treatment of brain cancer, researchers say.
Scientists are confident an antibody created to prolong the lives of people suffering from almost-always fatal Glioblastoma tumour may even offer a cure.
As part of the trial, 20 patients with the recurrent brain tumour will be treated at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital and the Austin Hospital in Melbourne with the antibody that specifically targets a cancer protein on the surface of the tumour cells.
QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute’s professor Andrew Boyd discovered that cancer protein, EphA3, more than 20 years ago.
He also developed the antibody that has been shown to specifically target cancer cells which express EphA3.
