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 whether a special type of MRI scan (magnetic resonance spectroscopy) can give more information about your glioblastoma tumor. It may help doctors better understand your tumor and guide future treatment decisions.
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 looks at whether brain scans (MRI, PET/CT) can help predict the genetic makeup of glioblastoma, without needing more tissue samples. If you join, you'll get advanced imaging to better understand your tumor and guide future treatment decisions.
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 trial looks at a new imaging method to help doctors see brain tumors more clearly before surgery. It may help remove the tumor more safely and completely.
