Questions regarding supplements/repurposed drugs
Hi, I want to thank those of you that responded to my previous post. For some reason, I can write posts but not respond? Anyway, I am trying to figure out additional repurposed drugs/supplements to have my son take with his "main" treatment. Briefly, he had IDH1+ AA3 (diag. originally 1/11) treated with proton alone fall of 2012 with small recurrence found late 12/17 MRI. Eventual surgery showed GBM that is still IDH1+ (as expected) but hypomutated (GTR with very generous margins--tumor in "unimportant" part of frontal lobe). He is enrolled in a clinical trial (metronomic TMZ/PARP). I wanted to make certain that he can tolerate his "main" drugs and then sequentially add supplements/repurposed meds (with the approval of the study supervisors). He is already taking Keppra, melantonin 20 mg and will likely start Celebrex later this week.--I was going to add Longvida given data...but it states that it "reduces oxidative stress"...isn't the idea to try to stress the IDH1+ residual tumor?
--I was thinking of having him add chloroquine and/or metformin. However, I have read the inhibiting autophagy (as chloroquine purportedly does) can either promote OR suppress tumor growth? He doesn't have a BRAF mutation (or many at all--at least not yet).
--I have read about dihydrotanshinone, that can reportedly cause endoplasmic reticulum stress and sensitize to TMZ. Is this something to consider?
Are there any supplements that seem particularly useful for IDH1+ patients?
Thank you very much, Marcia
