MRI Study to Understand Glioblastoma Biology Before Surgery
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a glioblastoma (brain tumor) that is either newly diagnosed or has come back after treatment.
- Your tumor is at least 1.5 mL in size and your doctor plans to remove it with surgery.
- If your tumor has come back, it must have been more than 3 months since you finished radiation therapy.
- You do not have a pacemaker, metal in your body, or any other reason that prevents you from having an MRI.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 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 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.
This study uses two special types of MRI scans to better understand how far a high-grade brain tumor (aggressive brain cancer) has spread into surrounding brain tissue. The goal is to help doctors plan surgery or biopsy more precisely.
