Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with glioblastoma who have progressed after first-line chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Probably not a fit

Patients with active malignancies or those involved in other experimental protocols may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This pilot study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of analyzing molecular abnormalities in exosomes derived from glioblastomas compared to the standard Foundation One Liquid CDx test. Gliomas, the most common primary brain tumors in adults, present challenges in diagnosis and management due to their heterogeneity. By utilizing next-generation sequencing (NGS) to profile circulating exosomes, the study seeks to provide more reliable and sensitive results for characterizing gliomas. Blood samples will be collected from eligible patients to assess the molecular alterations present in their tumors.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to more accurate and efficient diagnosis and management of gliomas.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is promising, it is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in similar studies.
