Coaching for coping in glioblastoma patients and caregivers
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests if coaching can help patients with a type of brain tumor (glioblastoma) and their caregivers cope better with the illness and stick to a treatment called Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields). You might join if you have newly diagnosed glioblastoma or a related brain tumor and are starting standard treatments like radiation and chemotherapy.

This trial looks at how well Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) therapy works for people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. Researchers will study blood and tumor samples to find markers that might predict how well the treatment works.
This trial tests whether adding a precise, MRI-guided radiation treatment to tumor-treating electric fields (TTFields) can help people with recurrent glioblastoma. You may qualify if your tumor has come back 1 to 3 times after standard therapy and you haven't had certain prior treatments.
This trial studies different treatment regimens for people with glioblastoma that is either newly diagnosed or has come back. It aims to find which treatment approach works best for controlling the tumor and improving outcomes.
This trial tests whether testing drugs on your tumor cells in a lab can help find the best treatment for you. It is for people with a specific type of glioblastoma that has not been treated yet.
This study tests a group-based occupational therapy program to help people with primary brain tumors who are undergoing chemotherapy or other anti-cancer treatments. The goal is to improve daily activities and quality of life.
