Can blood and tumor samples predict who responds to brain cancer therapy?
NCT ID NCT06222138
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will collect blood and tumor samples from 80 people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma to find biological markers that show whether a treatment called TTFields (tumor-treating fields) is working. The goal is to understand why some patients respond and others don't. Participants will give samples before and during treatment, and researchers will track their outcomes for up to 24 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors predict which glioblastoma patients will benefit from TTFields therapy, leading to more personalized treatment plans.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not find clear biomarkers, and results may not change patient care for years.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥18 years at the time of study entry. 2. Patient with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. 3. Patient for which a treatment with radio-chemotherapy followed by TTFields has been decided and has not been started. 4. Signed written informed consent. 5. Patient able to participate and willing to give informed consent prior performance of any study-related procedures and to comply with the study protocol 6. Patient affiliated to a Social Health Insurance in France. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Any condition contraindicated with sampling procedures required by the protocol. 2. Any contraindication to the use of the medical device administering TTFields. 3. Simultaneous participation in a therapeutic interventional clinical trial. 4. Patient pregnant, or breast-feeding. 5. Known history of positive test for hepatitis B virus or hepatitis C virus or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). 6.
