Determination of Immune Phenotype in Glioblastoma Patients

Study Purpose

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary brain tumor in adults. Despite intensive research efforts and a multimodal management that actually consists of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy with temozolomide, the prognosis is dismal. The aim of the current observational study is to determine immune phenotypes in individual patients with GBM at the time of diagnosis and to correlate tumor size, location (imaging), tumor properties (isocitrate dehydrogenase

  • - 1 (IDH-1), o6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status, etc.) with clinical data, such as progression free and overall survival, Karnofsky index (progression free survival (PFS),overall survival (OS), Karnofsky score( KFS)), with blood immune phenotypes, biomarkers, and immune histochemical results of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, macrophages, myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSC), etc..
The different immunological phenotypes could predict a positive response to specific immunological therapeutic strategies and select the individual therapeutic plan for an individual GBM patient.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT02751138
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.
