Improving Understanding of Glioblastoma Through Preservation of Biologically Active Brain Tissue

Study Purpose

To collect and preserve glioblastoma tissue during standard of care tumor resection surgery and blood for future molecular and genetic testing. Tissue for research will be collected from three different regions within the same tumor to study how these regions differ in their structure, DNA, and RNA and also to compare the data obtained from this testing to imaging data found in the medical record. The goal of this study is to help us better understand what the glioblastoma tumor tissue looks like and how it functions. This understanding can lead to new therapies for the treatment of glioblastoma in the future.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms	No
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.	Observational
Eligible Ages	18 Years and Over
Gender	All

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Have the appearance of high-grade glioma on magnetic resonance (MR) imaging if allowed to consent and will undergo the procedure if the frozen is consistent with glioblastoma or gliosarcoma OR Patients with a history of histologically confirmed diagnosis of World Health Organization Grade glioblastoma or gliosarcoma that are undergoing repeat resection of a recurrent tumor as identified on preoperative MR imaging. 2. Aged ≥ 18 years old. 3. Contrast-enhancing tumor volume of at least 10 cc on the preoperative, volumetric MRI within 1 month prior to surgery. 4. Provision of signed and dated informed consent form by participant or legally authorized representative (LAR), if applicable.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Has a history or current evidence of any medical condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the study or is not in the best interest of the participant, in the opinion of the treating investigator.

Trial Details

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.	NCT05756985
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.
