Improving Understanding of Glioblastoma Through Preservation of Biologically Active Brain Tissue

Improving Understanding of Glioblastoma Through Preservation of Biologically Active Brain Tissue (PRESERVE GBM)


Sponsor

Baptist Health South Florida

Enrollment

120 participants

Start Date

Dec 11, 2024

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

To collect and preserve glioblastoma tissue during standard of care tumor resection surgery and blood for future molecular and genetic testing. Tissue for research will be collected from three different regions within the same tumor to study how these regions differ in their structure, DNA, and RNA and also to compare the data obtained from this testing to imaging data found in the medical record. The goal of this study is to help us better understand what the glioblastoma tumor tissue looks like and how it functions. This understanding can lead to new therapies for the treatment of glioblastoma in the future.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is collecting living brain tumor tissue from patients with glioblastoma (an aggressive brain cancer) during surgery, to study how these cancer cells behave and respond to treatments in a lab setting — with the goal of finding better therapies. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - Brain imaging suggests you have a high-grade brain tumor, and the tumor tissue will be analyzed during surgery (frozen section), with enrollment confirmed if glioblastoma or gliosarcoma is found, OR you already have a confirmed diagnosis of glioblastoma/gliosarcoma and are having surgery for recurrent disease - Your tumor is large enough and in a location suitable for tissue collection **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your brain tumor is not glioblastoma or gliosarcoma - Your tumor is too small or in a location that does not allow safe tissue collection - You are under 18 Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
