Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with a pathologically-confirmed diagnosis of glioblastoma multiforme.
✕Probably not a fit

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to identify the various factors that influence health outcomes and risks in adults diagnosed with glioblastoma, a highly aggressive brain cancer. Participants will complete an online survey regarding their medical history and lifestyle, and may provide a blood sample for genetic and immune system testing. The study will follow participants over time to observe how these factors impact survival and quality of life. Insights gained may lead to personalized treatment strategies and improved risk assessment tools for glioblastoma management.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance understanding of glioblastoma and lead to improved management strategies for patients.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have explored factors affecting glioblastoma outcomes, but this specific approach focusing on genetic and immune factors is relatively novel.
