Glioblastomas are the most common and poorly prognostic primary brain neoplasms. Despite advances in surgical techniques and chemotherapy, the median survival time for these patients remains less than 15 months. This highlights the need for more effective treatments and improved prognostic tools. The globally accepted surgical strategy currently consists of achieving the maximum safe resection of the enhancing tumor volume. However, the non-enhancing peritumoral region contains viable cells that cause the inevitable recurrence that these patients face. Clinicians currently lack an imaging tool or modality to differentiate neoplastic infiltration in the peritumoral region from vasogenic edema. In addition, it is not always feasible to include all the T2-FLAIR signal alterations surrounding the enhancing tumor in the surgical planning due to the proximity of eloquent areas and the higher risk of postoperative deficits. However, the investigators have developed a model to predict regions of recurrence based on machine learning and MRI radiomic features that have been trained and evaluated in a multi-institutional cohort. The investigators aim to analyze whether an adjusted supramarginal resection guided by these new recurrence probability maps improves survival in selected patients with glioblastoma.

Study Type
An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies. |

Trial ID:
This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries. |
NCT05735171 |
Phase
Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use. |
