Blocking blood supply to glioblastoma: safety and benefit
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether blocking the blood supply to a brain tumor (glioblastoma) can help treat it safely. It is for people who have just been diagnosed and have not had any treatment yet.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with a type of brain tumor called glioblastoma (confirmed by MRI or biopsy).
- You have not had any previous treatments for this brain tumor, such as radiation or chemotherapy.
- You do not have any medical conditions that would make a brain blood vessel procedure or brain surgery too risky.

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 trial tests a special MRI technique to help surgeons remove more of a glioblastoma brain tumor during surgery. The goal is to see if this approach helps people live longer.
This trial is testing a new way to find and remove glioblastoma brain tumors using a special MRI scan. It may help doctors remove more of the tumor safely during surgery.
This trial tests a surgical technique that places a tissue flap near a glioblastoma surgery site to help medicines reach the brain more effectively. You might be considered if you are planning major brain tumor surgery and meet specific health, imaging, and lab requirements.
This study looks at how blood flow in the brain changes when there is a mass that can be removed with surgery. You would join before any treatment, which helps doctors understand the link between the brain lesion and blood vessel function.
This trial tests giving a precise dose of radiation directly to the tumor area during surgery for newly diagnosed glioblastoma. The goal is to destroy remaining tumor cells immediately after removal, which may improve outcomes.
