Detailed Description
This will be a pilot trial exploring the ability of molecular hydrogen to improve quality of life in patients with high grade gliomas, receiving focal radiation therapy to the brain concurrent with chemotherapy with Temozolomide. Hydrogen has an excellent safety profile, has antioxidant properties and reduces inflammatory events in the tissues. It has been postulated in previous studies that continuous consumption of hydrogen water reduces oxidative stress in the brain by lowering the concentration of the reactive oxygen species, resulting in the improvement of adult neurogenesis or the stimulation of neural proliferation, leading to the prevention of the decline in the learning and memory.
This will be a double blinded, placebo-controlled trial. Eligible and willing subjects will be randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to be treated with either hydrogen or placebo, to receive hydrogen or placebo, additionally to all standard-of-care treatments. The treatment with hydrogen or placebo will start the day before chemoradiation therapy starts, and continue for six weeks. The effects of drinking hydrogen water on the quality of life will be assessed using the EORTC QLQ-C30 and the EORTC QLQ-BN20 questionnaires at baseline, at 6 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months and 24 months.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Hydrogen
Five times per day for 6 weeks subjects will dissolve a hydrogen generating tablet into water and drink the effervescent water.
Dissolving one tablet in 250 mL of water will achieve a saturating hydrogen concentration of approximately 1.6 ppm.
|
Each hydrogen tablet contains 80 mg magnesium
Other Names:
|
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Five times per day for 6 weeks subjects will dissolve an placebo tablet into water and drink the effervescent water.
The effervescent placebo tablet does not generate hydrogen-enriched water.
|
Matching placebo tablet also contains 80 mg magnesium

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life (QLQ) C30 score
Time Frame: 2 years
|
Change in health related quality of life from baseline to week 6, month 6, month 12, month 18, and month 24, as assessed by the EORTC QLQ-C30 score.
The score range from 0 to 100; a higher score represents a higher ("better") level of functioning, or a higher ("worse") level of symptoms.

European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life (QLQ) BN20 score
Time Frame: 2 years
|
Change in health related quality of life from baseline to week 6, month 6, month 12, month 18, and month 24, as assessed by the EORTC QLQ-BN20 score.
The score range from 0 to 100; a higher score represents a higher ("better") level of functioning, or a higher ("worse") level of symptoms.
