Investigating biomarkers in glioblastoma patients treated with TTFields
Official title: Study of Biologic Tumor and Plasma Biomarkers of Response to TTFields in Patients Treated for Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma
Run by Institut Claudius Regaud · NCT06222138 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing how well a new treatment called TTFields works for people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma by looking for signs in their blood and tumors that show if they respond to the treatment.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with newly diagnosed glioblastoma who are about to start radio-chemotherapy followed by TTFields.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have contraindications to TTFields or sampling procedures may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This trial is a prospective study involving 80 patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma who will receive radio-chemotherapy followed by treatment with TTFields. The study aims to identify resistance mechanisms and biomarkers that indicate sensitivity or resistance to TTFields. Blood samples will be collected at various stages of treatment, and tumor samples will be obtained during surgery for analysis. The Optune® system, which delivers TTFields, will not be under investigation in this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could help identify biomarkers that predict patient response to TTFields, potentially improving treatment outcomes for glioblastoma.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is focused on biomarker identification in glioblastoma, similar studies have shown promise in understanding treatment responses in other cancers.
