Brain tumor tissue bank could pave way for future therapies
NCT ID NCT05756985
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study collects and preserves glioblastoma tissue from 120 patients during standard surgery, along with blood samples. Researchers will analyze tissue from different tumor regions to understand its structure and genetics. The goal is to learn more about how glioblastoma works, which could help develop new treatments in the future.
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 research could reveal new insights into glioblastoma biology, potentially pointing toward future treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational tissue-collection study, not a treatment trial. It may not directly lead to new therapies, and results may take years to translate into clinical use.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Have the appearance of high-grade glioma on magnetic resonance (MR) imaging if allowed to consent and will undergo the procedure if the frozen is consistent with glioblastoma or gliosarcoma OR Patients with a history of histologically confirmed diagnosis of World Health Organization Grade glioblastoma or gliosarcoma that are undergoing repeat resection of a recurrent tumor as identified on preoperative MR imaging 2. Aged ≥ 18 years old 3. Contrast-enhancing tumor volume of at least 10 cc on the preoperative, volumetric MRI within 1 month prior to surgery 4. Provision of signed and dated informed consent form by participant or legally authorized representative (LAR), if applicable Exclusion Criteria: 1\. Has a history or current evidence of any medical condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the study or is not in the best interest of the participant, in the opinion of the treating investigator.
