Development of indigenous portable wearable TTF (Tumor Treating Fields) device for treatment of Glioblastomawearable
Principal Investigator
Prof. Rayala Suresh Kumar
Objective
- Develop an indigenous, portable, wearable TTF (Tumor Treating Fields) device for the treatment of Glioblastoma, aiming to improve treatment outcomes, minimize collateral damage, and enhance the quality of life for patients.
Description
- Problem: Glioblastoma is a highly aggressive brain tumor with limited treatment options, and the available therapies often come with adverse effects and poor prognosis., Solution: Develop a wearable TTF device modeled on the existing Optune system, suitable for Indian patients, with a focus on electrical output, consistency, field directionality, and power efficiency., Methodology: Design, fabricate, and test the device, conduct preclinical trials on athymic mouse models, and progress to clinical trials on Glioblastoma patients., Beneficiaries: Glioblastoma patients in India and globally who seek a more effective and less invasive treatment option.
Impact
- This project has the potential to revolutionize Glioblastoma treatment by offering a more targeted and patient-friendly therapy. It aims to improve survival rates, enhance the quality of life for patients, and reduce the financial burden associated with current treatments.
