Modulation of Ciliogenesis in Glioma Stem Cells

Study Purpose

The study aims at investigating the cilium-related transcriptome in patients-derived glioblastoma stem cells and the potential impact of modulation of cilium players in vitro, in vivo and ex vivo in glioblastoma brain organoids. Moreover, drugs inhibiting cilia disassembly will be tested. Finally, the potential prognostic role of a cilium-related gene expression signature in glioblastoma will be assessed.

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.	Interventional
Eligible Ages	18 Years and Over
Gender	All

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

To be enrolled in the study patients must: 1. Have a radiological diagnosis of supratentorial glioblastoma, or. 2. Have a radiological diagnosis of first recurrence of a primary supratentorial glioblastoma (for which a formal histopathologic diagnosis of glioblastoma had been made at first surgery), according with RANO criteria (Wen, 2010); 3. Be a candidate to neurosurgery for glioblastoma at the Operational Unit of Neurosurgery FPG; 4. Be of an age of 18 years or above; 5. Provide written informed consent for participation to the study. Exclusion criteria. To be enrolled in the study patients must not: 1. Have not enough pathological material removed at surgery available both for mandatory routine histopathological diagnosis and for the present study, as judged by the Principal Investigator; 2. Have not a definitive pathological diagnosis of a primary supratentorial GBM, according with 2016 WHO classification.

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.	NCT05772767
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.	N/A
