"Glioblastoma, one of the most common and deadly forms of brain cancer, is notoriously difficult to treat. Patients and clinicians do not have the luxury of time to experiment with drug therapies they don’t know will work, so we developed our investigational glioblastoma drug response profile to help clinicians optimize therapeutic decision-making for their patients over the course of their disease," said Matthew Gevaert, CEO of KIYATEC. "We are honored to welcome VAPORHCS to the 3D-PREDICT study and salute the important commitment to cancer clinical studies demonstrated by all VA hospitals."

3D-PREDICT is a prospective, open-label, non-interventional study to validate KIYATEC’s glioblastoma drug response profile, which leverages the company’s ex vivo 3D cell culture technology platform to assess pre-treatment, patient-specific response to a panel of 12 drugs most commonly used to treat patients with newly diagnosed or recurrent glioblastoma.
