Providing fresh brain tissue to better understand glioblastoma
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study aims to improve understanding of glioblastoma (and gliosarcoma) by preserving live, usable brain-tissue samples during brain surgery. If you’re having repeat tumor surgery or your scans suggest these cancers, the study may ask to collect tissue for research.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re an adult age 18 or older
- Your brain MRI suggests a high-grade glioma that matches glioblastoma or gliosarcoma
- If you already have confirmed glioblastoma/gliosarcoma, this study needs your tumor to be coming back and needing repeat surgery
- Your tumor on the MRI must be at least 10 cubic centimeters (cc) and measured within 1 month before surgery
- You (or your legal decision-maker) can sign an informed consent form
- You don’t have another serious problem or treatment that could interfere with the study (as judged by the research team)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 uses special MRI scans and a contrast agent to look at the immune environment of glioblastoma tumors. It may help doctors learn more about how the tumor responds to treatment.
This trial collects tumor samples to study what causes glioblastoma to return. It may help scientists find better treatments.
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 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.
This study looks at how your immune system reacts to brain tumor surgery and standard treatment, using a special dye to help the surgeon see the tumor better. It aims to find out if this approach can improve outcomes for people with glioblastoma.
