Brain cancer study seeks clues in genes and lifestyle
NCT ID NCT06625684
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at what factors—like genetics, immune system, and medical history—affect survival and quality of life in adults with glioblastoma, a severe brain cancer. About 200 participants will fill out an online survey and may provide a blood sample from home. The goal is to gather information, not to test a new treatment.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The study will recruit glioblastoma (GBM) patients from the general population through social media and email listservs. Recruitment efforts will be supported by GBMRO, StacheStrong, and the Duke Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center. These organizations will disseminate study information via electronic communications to their GBM patient listservs and promote the study on social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. The study aims to enroll a diverse population of GBM patients from around the world, ensuring broad representation across various demographics and regions.
