Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Improved outcomes for high-grade gliomas (HGG) require advances in our ability to monitor changes to tumour biology using non-surgical approaches. "Liquid biopsy" is a term used to describe a technique whereby tumour DNA, which has been shed off and then circulates through the blood stream, is detected and analyzed. Our goal is to develop a new type of liquid biopsy that is suitable for primary brain tumours that uses a method that is highly sensitive and allows for ongoing analysis of these tumours.

[]Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Feasibility of measuring both the burden and key molecular features of high- grade gliomas (HGG) through profiling of plasma circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA)
- timeFrame
- 2 years
- description
- Feasibility in this context will be defined by 1) detecting ctDNA in samples from HGG patients and 2) measuring changes in levels of specific ctDNA fragments following HGG treatment

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients can be enrolled either prior to a planned surgery/biopsy for a suspected HGG or after biopsy/surgery of pathologically proven, previously untreated HGG, prior to adjuvant radiotherapy * Patient consent must be appropriately obtained in accordance with applicable local and regulatory requirements. Each patient must sign a consent form prior to enrollment in the trial to document their willingness to participate * Age ≥18 yrs Exclusion Criteria: * History of another invasive malignancy, except for non-melanoma skin cancer or tumors curatively treated with no evidence of disease for ≥ 2 years.
