Studying the brain barrier in glioblastoma
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have a recent diagnosis of glioblastoma (a type of brain tumor).
- You must be scheduled to have surgery to remove the tumor.
- You must be able to have an MRI scan (no pacemaker or metal implants that stop you).
- You must be alert and able to understand the study and give your consent.

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 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 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 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.
