Study of new glioblastoma using MRI scans and lab markers
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study follows people newly diagnosed with glioblastoma to see how certain lab signals (MMP2 and MMP9) match up with MRI scan features. It may help doctors better understand the disease and how it appears on imaging, but it’s mainly observational.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older
- Your MRI or scan strongly suggests glioblastoma (not a different type)
- Your brain tumor can be surgically removed in some way (partial/subtotal or fully removed if possible)
- You plan to receive the standard treatment after surgery: radiation plus chemotherapy (often called the Stupp plan)
- You have already had a pre-surgery MRI and can have the MRI safely
- You can legally consent to join the study

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at MRI scans to find “molecular markers” that may reflect how active a brain tumor is. If you’re having surgery for a primary brain tumor, these scan results may help researchers better understand tumor behavior.
This study uses a special MRI technique called magnetic resonance spectroscopy to look at chemical changes in glioblastoma tumors. It aims to find patterns that might help predict how the disease will progress, and it is meant for adults who have been recently diagnosed but have not yet started radiation or chemotherapy.
This study is testing whether special MRI scans and blood tests can help tell the difference between true tumor growth (progression) and a treatment-related reaction called 'pseudoprogression' in people with glioblastoma. The goal is to make treatment decisions more accurate.
This study looks at how brain tumors look on MRI and what biopsy tissue shows, using samples taken during planned surgery. It may help improve understanding of tumor biology and future treatment planning.
This study uses MRI scans to learn more about the biology of glioblastoma before and after surgery. It may help doctors understand how the tumor behaves and improve future treatments.
This study looks at how the brain's protective barrier works in people with glioblastoma. Researchers will study tumor tissue and use special scans to learn more, which might help improve future treatments.
